re: alterhuman feelings about Lion and Rhea (not just the names but soulbondish stuff),
i -want- to be Rhea, and i feel sort of uncomfortable about that want. i guess because i know i'm not her, or because she's got external origins. Rhea sometimes feels like she is one approximation of 'me.'
i don't particularly want to be Lion, and i don't think i am, but he originated from me and so i guess i feel safer acting possessive of him. i generally assume he is separate but coexisting.
they're in the same category of "i don't know what this is, despite inconsistency it keeps coming up, i hate not knowing how much is just me leaning into it."
identity burble Afficher plus
i guess even though i don't typically think of Lion as 'me,' i am still content to use his character to represent myself in some contexts.
i can imagine him being energetically excited and friendly and bouncy and bubbly, but i can't imagine Rhea acting that way (and some behaviours are the inverse probably), so maybe that's where some of the flippy point occurs.
(he's also easier to drawer but i want to get used to doodling both of them anyway.)
so, each character/connection/soulbond/reflection/whatever only covers a certain area of expression. that's interesting to note. i think i've half-consciously noted it before, and distorted it <<
