Thinking about this again. I hadn't given it any thought at the time but that last post does make this specifically Wrath Carmen because it's a major difference in characterization that tabletop Carmen is, despite everything, not a hypocrite and is too morally pure to tempt (despite her questionable choice of morals). Wrath Carmen is a little more susceptible to the ends justifying the means as long as the right people are doing things (her).
Which is to say: tabletop Carmen would not be writing up other girls on dress code violation while violating it herself. She'd be writing them up while following the code and arguing for code reform.
Every so often I check the last few things in my notes app because I forget what I appended what I'm looking for to and I have rediscovered something from that day of dating sim AU posts going around which states, incorrectly, that Carmen Regis would be "aggressively and painfully normal" in a high school based dating sim. Lies and slander. I'm here to call my own private thoughts out. Carmen Regis would be one of those weirdly totalitarian anime student council members in an unhinged, deranged overpowered authoritarian student council. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
#I would not call tabletop Carmen a better person. she's a more consistent one but also more 'maybe some people inherently deserve to die'#which isn't great!! she's LE either way lmao.#I've always thought there was something to it about rank though- tabletop Carmen is not especially high up in her order#and Wrath Carmen is obviously the KC and even before was no longer directly attached to her order#different to be the one following the standards vs the one setting them...#and also something about circumstances where tabletop Carmen was trying to demonstrate a kind of exceptional virtue /because/ of separation#and in opposition to people she suspected were hypocrites within her order#carmen regis#character motif is always justice perverted by inflexible extremes it just manifests a lil differently

Lmao ok so I'm afraid I really have known too many people geez
Luckily for you there's a recurring person! Ny is back!
...there also two new people... : Ch and ... I've already used L, i've already used Le... how about Lo
(both she/her)
Anyways this is in fuck what is it in English 3rd and 4th grade? (CE2 and CM1) and maybe second don't remember
I met this cool person, Ch, and we found out that we were born 36 hours apart although i always was way taller than her and that we both played flute and we basically had a bunch of stuff in common so we became close friends and the few times we had concerts together (we were rather new to the flute so we didn't have that many concerts lol) we would always be whispering together at rehearsals and what not (from memory we were some of the youngest ones there so it wasn't as if we were gonna go chat with the 'scary' teenagers lol)
Basically we were best friends and we had fun together.
In 3rd grade (?) we were in the same class, as was Ny, who was new that year [also all of these make it sound like I absolutely hate everyone I've known since I was 3 bc i keep flocking towards the new kids lol, which isn't exactly true, it's just that the ones I do like ended up mostly not going to the same middle school as me lol or are really sweet so I never had any drama with them but weirdly i never became close friends with most of the nice ones]
For most of the year, we stuck together, and as the year went on we started hanging out with Ny.
As I'm writing this I just realized I have a weird sense of time apparently bc I was convinced Ny moved here in 3rd grade but i also remember there being only one year between the incident with Ch and middle school, meaning the incident would have happened in 4th grade...
Idk some time passed and by All saint's day vacation of either 3rd or 4th grade Ch had started spending time with Lo, which would've been cool (Lo is so sweet omg she's adorable) if Ch and Lo had stayed with Ny and me, but no for some reason that I still don't know, they went off on their own, and I was a bit hurt bc I thought she was my bff.
At some point when Ny wasn't there (which does make figuring out which year this was kinda hard), Ch, Lo and I were hanging out together for once, and I think at this point Lo was a new addition to our friend group. Ch was acting all secretive and saying she had something in her pocket that she didn't want to show anyone, and then she decided to show it.
Not to me, but to Lo, who once again was new to this friend group whereas I was supposed to be Ch's best friend. She then refused to show me what she had in her pocket and that was the last time I cried in a school.
The next day she showed me what she had.
She had one of these caramel square things.
She knew that I had braces/orthodontic stuff and couldn't eat caramel, and she knew I don't even like candy in the first place; if she didn't want anyone to know for fear that they would ask her for some but still wanted to tell someone, I still maintain to this day that I would have been the perfect candidate.
Either way after that I started hanging out way more with Ny after that, which led to Le and Ax from the previous tale of my life so perhaps not a great decision on my part lol
(oh and I have only heard a little about Ch since then, through a friend who went to the same middle school she did and who i see frequently in the bus and at art class every week, where I also see Lo every week lol so clearly there was a right choice of friend between Ch and Lo and I chose the wrong one originally but now I'm friends with Lo so that's fun)
(speaking of Lo, she's one of the people I've known since we were three lol and she's one of the few i'm still in touch with)
Anyways drama over a piece of candy I don't even like lol :)
gossip? ๐คฒ๐ผ
Well let's see, I could tell you how one of my friends dumped me over essentially a piece of candy, but other than that i don't have drama off the top of my head lol
