For the fav characters asks game: 2, 10, 13, 15, 49 for Laurence?

2. Did you always like this character?

absolutely not! I didn’t even much care for him when I first got into bloodborne a few years ago honestly. I’m not really sure how I developed a special liking for him either? but the choir is my favourite bit in all of bloodborne and victorian medicine is one of my special interests so I latched onto him over time sort of by association or whatever because of that + I love tragedy. and he is such a tragic beast is he not. also his theme goes so fucking hard lyrics and instrumental composition go insane it gives me chills

10. Do you see yourself in this character even without projecting?

Blood obsessed yeah. But honestly I’ve been handling him almost like an oc as of recent and cant really remember what ‘canon’ parts of him I relate to right now. I’m sure there has to be something because that’s usually what gets you to bond with a character yk….. I associate laurence at first with solemnity(to a pretentious extent) and being glib but convincing enough to secure his position and the trust of others, and later with shame and regret and guilt, but also I have a lot of different interpretations I accept of him coexisting in my mind? if that makes sense?(at the core it’s mainly the things I mentioned before tho) I guess another major thing I find myself relating to is the desire to learn and the fact that I would go to any lengths for the sake of acquiring certain knowledge- something bloodborne taught me is bad but if I’m relating to laurence then that won’t stop me as history has shown. maybe when I turn into a shameful beast that is the very image of humiliation I will begin to understand

13. If you could draw effortlessly and as much as you wanted, what scene (s) would you draw for this character?

I’m already drawing this guy every other day I wish I wasnt. I hate him he should not be taking up so much of my time and thoughts. I have a lot of concepts regarding him I want to execute in mind these days but I have absolutely no idea how to go about them….. hopefully this strange creative block I’m in rn will leave me alone soon

15. Are your thoughts surrounding this character usually sexual, non-sexual, or a mix of both?

always nonsexual he’s too much of a loser (what’s funny is that I couldn’t answer the ‘do you relate to this character’ question but anytime I’m asked if I’m sexually attracted to him I always think “he reminds me too much of myself” subconsciously which is super funny. what do I mean by this)

49. What’s your favorite personality trait in this character?

fucking around and finding out goes crazy with this one. and malice(intentional or yet to be awakened) is a beautiful thing when you happen to be an influential scholar who then becomes a huge authority figure. nothing could go wrong here
