i think what is interesting about march is that while all the characters are multifaceted in various ways he is much less one dimensional than anyone else. like eiland is obsessed with archeology adeline with government luc with bugs juniper has her whole mean witch schtick valen tells you to take walks etc. etc.

and while march IS a nerd about blacksmithing obviously he also has a lot of other stuff going on like. he clearly has self-esteem issues and anger issues and is fiercely loyal to his brother and to mistria and that makes him lash out at you. but also he's snarky in a funny way and as he warms up it's more playful and more interesting. idk what i'm saying ig his whole mean guy covering up insecurities thing is actually working for me now that he's opening up more

#bell.txt #i just really liked his 'you're really improving... at breathing down my neck' line #im sure everyone has different things going on it just happens that i talk to him more bc i walk past the forge constantly #i also think march's whole thing works much much better than shane's #if you want to consider them equivalents in terms of how they act initially #like firstly i don't think shane's addiction is necessarily handled that well #but also his dickishness doesn't have as much behind it to give it reason imo #like he's just kind of an asshole for a while and everyone's like oh yeah that's shane #and him becoming nicer as he gets sober is like a mixed bag for me #i think it's an interesting attempt but idk i don't love it #regardless. i like march that's all i'm trying to say
