navelgazed:

People really think that you have a fictive of someone in your brain and they’re gonna act like they’re role-playing, when like. Okay.

It’s more like, hey! You are this character but also you’re a real person capable of change and capable of adapting and reacting to the world around you, which means that in a lot of cases the situation is going to change you as a person. Sure, the past is there but if the old reason for your existence or goal or antagonist is just gone now, what the fuck. How do you pick up the pieces from that. You are indelibly changed as a person because you now have to reorganize your entire life around a new and unfamiliar reality. And sometimes people react in weird ways and people change a lot, especially when you give them lots and lots of time to adapt to said new reality.

So yes we have blorbo in our brain but if you expect blorbo to talk like he’s still living in his old world and not this one, he’s just going to be confused and mildly put off.
