How did Cinder go from Badass Extraordinaire to Why Is This Large Child Unsupervised in TAOE?
yr forgiven sdfjhgdf
i actually have a coherent answer to this, which is remarkable, so basically,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
TAOI has changed quite a few times over the years, but this change was actually because i wanted cinder to become more of a protagonist in her own right? the first draft of TAOI (version two, that is) took place entirely from blakes perspective, but theyre... well, blakes VERY dour (as ull come to see) and also because they meet cinder in prepared circumstances, cinder always looks very dapper and composed!
now, because i wanted to make her shine as more of a deuteragonist, we’re seeing cinder when she’s not prepared to be met! and suddenly she goes from well-dressed, sauve, organised crime boss lady to im so hungover that if u even look at me im gonna vomit because we’re seeing her in her natural habitat: aka having 0 braincells.
so uh TL;DR im making cinder the deuteragonist in TAOI and in doing so we reveal she’s a total fucking dumbass,
but emerald’s there so hey
