Character(s): Subaru Nakajima (MSLN Force - this journal) ; Tsumugi "Mugi" Kotobuki (K-On!! - golden_gaytime)
Anon accepted: Y
Other comments: I feel Mugi needs to get out more, and I often find difficulties keeping her speech patterns consistent. I plan on rewatching the first season soon and getting some advice on that from my Japanese-speaking friends. I'm also highly unused to using honorifics and specific mannerisms, so if you feel better about her using a certain form of address (or want me to abstain altogether) please let me know!

For Subaru, on the same point, she is not Japanese, so she really only calls people by their family name out of courtesy to them — but she's used to being on a first name basis with pretty much everyone unless they're much older and/or in a position of authority. No honorifics, either. (I received crit on this elsewhere, which is the only reason I'm bringing it up!)

Lambda- I've been having difficulty with her speech patterns as of late, but I'm sure that's nothing some canon review can't fix! I've just been lazy about getting around to that...

General- I apologize for my general slowness lately!

Other comments: Slow/need to tag out a bit more. Making notes now as to who and where to tag and when. Also I'll be on hiatus starting Friday for a few days to do an all weekend training event with my dojo. Chances are I might not have internet a couple days, and even if I do, I'll be exhausted. I'll try to get some more stuff in between now and then.

[hungry_like_the_wolf]

Name: Sera/phita
Character(s): Gavril, Rumia, Taokaka
Anon accepted: Y/N
Other comments: Honestly, I'm having problems with Tao's speech pattern. Between Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift she began speaking less in the third person and gained a more normal way of speaking. I'm trying to balance this and have really settled on her using the third person when excited or explaing herself and normal speech for everything else.

Gavril I think is fine, except I recently found out her name should have two l's in it but I'd like to think she's reached a good balance between being a scary monster and a person who is kind in her own way to those she likes. The series post-script also has her being rather sweet with her sisters, which isn't really important but it is adorable.

I just need to get Rumia out more, expect more of her soon.
