(Bah, coding... customizations...why does LJ have to be so complicated? Tell me if this fixes it, it's something that only happens on browsers/platforms I don't own!)
Er anyway, so yah. Thank you!
I've barely ever seen any Buffy; I'm thinking more of my almost-but-never-actually-was-girlfriend's fourteen-year-old daughter. :)
And you've helped me get past my slight aversion to Rikku. Okay, yeah, when I played FFX the first time through, I was all, "GAH it's another PERKY TIT cute thief-chick, designed to be the CUTENESS mascot of the party!" I didn't like Selphie. I didn't like Yuffie. That particular character doesn't usually work for me. I don't like feeling manipulated into thinking someone's cute. (Apparently I'm more susceptible to blatant attempts to make me think somone's cool.)
However, you've written her with so much life and spirit and humor that I've become very fond of Rikku indeed. Now I think she's great, in a very different way. Which is a good thing, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enjoy X-2 at all, since it's all ABOUT perky tit cuteness.
So anyway, you've gotten me to write Rikku. This was about the first Canon thing I've written too! I keep writing her as I saw her in FFX, a bright-spirited teenager, and not as most folks tend to write her -- a tiny bit older and wiser and wilder, as she is in X-2 -- and my maternal instinct is slipping in somewhere or other, but I can easily imagine that Lulu would have a ghost of the same big sister feelings towards Yuna's cousin as Yuna.
