zosimosDay 4: Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character become your muse?
I have two. I have had two for nigh on seven years now. Other "muses" come and go, they wander through the musebox of my brain at will, but two have become permanent fixtures. The first is Himura Kenshin, and the second is Edward Elric.
Kenshin, he has been my muse almost a decade. He moved in roundabouts 2001, usurped my brainspace from the pilots who had been lounging about. Edward settled in late 2003. There is a long-running joke about the Freudian archetype of the psyche - id, ego, and super-ego. My Id would be Edward, impulsive and lacking in control; short of temper and loud of voice; while Kenshin is the super-ego, constantly at odds with the id, polite and reserved and the quiet diplomat. I know I'm simplifying things immensely, but it works.
It can also work with the fact that Edward and Kenshin are in turns my shoulder-angel and shoulder-devil, and they will occasionally switch roles just to fuck with my head. Yeah, we have that kind of relationship.
I am not as crazy as that sentence makes me sound, I promise. *coughs into hand*
