Hmm, Pizza! Hello everyone, It's me, the man who is late to the party.
Well, turned out I said I would be here every Sunday, to greet Yume with a reply as a "Welcome back" every time we are blessed with an update BUT it seems like I have failed to adjust to the update time for... Maybe three weeks in a row? Ouch, that is a VERY Irresponsible thing from my person, so I do feel like I need to apologize. Since when I out of all people have failed so much to uphold a self-imposed schedule? Granted, I have been extra busy this month and had to retire to bed early on Sundays which caused me to miss the updates but I can't help but feel a bit disappointed in myself, I'm glad Master Gri, with all the wiseness accumulated during the training in the Jedi Temple, was able to take the mantle of keeping you company from my irresponsible self.
Okay, with my self-roasting session done for, it's time for we to start talking for real, I did miss a lot of good topics to discuss and even forgot about some things I wanted to talk but maybe this is a good point for me to opinate.
Wriggle Nightbug, a stage 1 boss from an old game, Imperishable night if Google didn't feed me the wrong info, ultimately, who is even she? What do we have to talk about a character that barely appeared once and was quickly disposed of? Thing is, she wasn't as popular as some others, and taking from the little we know of her she is just a bug who looks human. What do I mean by this you ask? It's okay to take liberty with some characters and I think you are doing a pretty good job with that, being "Tsundere", is probably the common interpretation of Wriggle and I don't think it's completely far-fetched because as Wiki states: "Wriggle is annoyed at the low social status of bugs" meaning that she does want people to like her and wants to feel needed by them, while also "take it personally when someone offends insects" which means she probably feels very wronged by people in general.
Now, in an "anime" setting, how do we portray someone who wants to be closer to you but doesn't know how and at the same time has a quick temper? The answer might be a borderline "tsundere" person. In the end, that's actually okay as long as you don't let it die out here, being completely described by a single word is not what we, as writers, are aiming for when trying to give life to an idea. Here, Wriggle has more to her name than being an outraged bug, she has close friends, and that's essential to continue developing her character, Wriggle tends to mellow out when it comes to Team9, escaping from her common behavior, adding one extra layer to her character.
In the end, I don't know what you are aiming for but for me? Depending on how things go, I would have Oscar fix the Team9 plotlines one by one, slowly leading Wriggle to see Ozzy as one of her own, an interim member of the team if you will, she would trust him near bugs and even offer aid should he need it, allowing for a smart use of her skills by Otherworldly Ventures. To keep the charm of her character and to avoid bending it too much, perhaps some occasional show of Tsunderism?
Something like this: "Why didn't you ask for my help sooner? Idiot!" Then she crosses her arms and looks away while blushing.
Okay, that's cringey but you understand my point right? Keep in mind though that the example above is just how I would have developed her. Your plans are your own and I can tell you are doing great last thing I want is to see more of me rubbing on others. Oof...
I think I had more to yap about but my mind went overdrive while thinking about Wriggle so I ended up forgetting about it. Well, if I forgot then it was probably not important right?
Anyway, what is important though is today's chapter, there is one thing that has almost eluded me, Houdini, I wanted to talk about this little fella for a LONG time but it always slipped from my mind. Houdini is a rabbit and rabbits are a big thing in Touhou no? We have many of them in the setting and Houdini might even facilitate a meeting between Ozzy and Tewi in the future, she does approve of bnnuy pets in that manga if I'm not mistaken. So, as much as I want Ozzy to do a magical magician magic, maybe investing in the Bnnuy might prove to be a profitable venture.
Oh, and before I go, I have decided I won't follow any schedules anymore so expect me to reply anytime from now on. Should be easier for me now since all I have to do is pop here, type and disappear.
