Question Meme

[medpacksapunch]

It is the slowest of slow Fridays and I want to babble. I don't have any really appropriate landmarks, so I'm going to pretend that 14k and 666 are totally round and legit landmarks.

Also I know I have been teeeerrible at answering question meme things in other people's over the last month BUT THIS ONE IN ON MY JOURNAL I CAN'T FORGET IT'S HERE ;o;

I'm way too exhausted so this is a condensed version of what I would've wanted to write.

Sasuke can't allow himself to get closer to Kakashi and Sakura now. That's the main thing. He hates himself for everything he's done but at the same time he doesn't regret anything of it. So he's accepted that he went insane and what he did, but he also understands that he had no other choice! He is also in constant conflict with allowing himself to still care about people instead of shutting them out in order to become stronger, because he remembers years of doing that during his training with Orochimaru so it's like trying to get out of a terrible habit. IT'S EASIER TO SHUT EVERYTHING OUT, and only focus on what he wants. That's also a big part of it.

But his self-hatred is so deep right now that he honestly doesn't give a shit about giving an option to Sakura and he will be very insistent on cutting her off from his life. Same with Kakashi, which is why hew gave him his memory. HE WANTS KAKASHI TO GIVE UP ON HIM. He knows it's more likely that he will, considering he barely remembers anything right now. Sakura is harder. But he cares. More than he's willing to admit.

LIGHTING WAS . . . INTERESTING? I reverse nearly everything you said, actually. He can tolerate her and she seems to be focused on the things that are important, which is important if you want Sasuke to even consider you exist. She is also Emerald, even if he dislikes the team most of the time, but that gives him more tolerance to deal with people since he always need to know what kind of people they are. He lacked a deep reason to give him the sword, just that she needed it and he didn't.

Lighting's impressions on Emerald or the Personae?

[soundandfury]

Her impression of Emerald is that they were all too eager to welcome her into their arms. Which was dumb and shortsighted just on principle. She also gets kind of :\ when it feels like they are forcing values on her (Asuka is the main offender here). But most of the time she can tolerate them. She liked the idea behind telling the Jabberwock to fuck off, no, they weren't going to play his game... but then immediately became frustrated again when the walls started closing in and everyone else just sat there, waiting to die. SHE REALIZES SHE COULDN'T HAVE STOPPED IT but she still wanted to fight anyway. So right now she's in want-to-yell-and-pace-and-demand stage, though she also is trying to not be super invested in the team. Fine, whatever. Do what you want! But augh don't do it that way!!!!

She doesn't know much about the Personae besides the general overview-- but she got the overview from Lloyd, so she's actually more neutral on them than, say, Sakura (who got most of her Personae-opinions from Sasuke ;D) Depending on how her memories fall out, she could either become more tolerant or violently less tolerant of the idea of Personae-- it's fairly similar to the fal'cie concept, in some ways... which Lightning was super okay with for 21 years and then abruptly super smash-the-state not okay with.

How are Sasuke's deals-with-Personae-to-protect-Itachi going?
