IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR ALTERNATES IN ARMS AU SO MUCH ššš CESAR ESPECIALLY
I DO WANNA KNOW- Do alternates in this universe end up picking out their own hobbies?? Like , they're stuck in limbo untill they have a physical form, i feel like they would pick up on things they like, even if it isnt a normal thing the person theyre mimicking liked
example like, aia!Alt Cesar picking up a love for doing something small that aia!Human cesar didnt care for
i really feel like aia! alt cesar would like card games
he looks like he likes card games
HIII thank you!! It's been a little while but I do want to get back to drawing stuff for this AU, I've just been a melted puddle of radioactive waste all summer lmao
And you're mostly right on that! Over time, just due the nature of experiencing different things and people, alternates can (usually will) develop hobbies unique to themselves and not possessed by the original. This quality tends to be more prominent in AiA alternates that are Real, not False or Fallacies (more on this later).
Cesar did copy some of human Cesarās hobbies, like playing video games and building model kits. But he also developed some of his own; he does like card games and playing pool since that's how he entertains guests in his tavern. He loves learning by watching How To videos (definitely the type to fall down Wikipedia rabbit holes) and has recently picked up bird watching.
He also likes to cook even though heās total ass at it. All alternates that enjoy hobbies where you make things tend to be really bad at it.
As an additional note, Six likes to crochet and carve wood, anything that keeps the hands busy. Gabriel pretends he doesnāt like things, but he does; he likes to people-watch, and will sometimes go for walks to look at nature. He collects small objects and presses flowers, which he used to pass out in church, and likes to weave even though he's terrible at it.
Sometimes, when in nature, he watches the birds fly. One might say with a sense of wistful envy.
