I love your Nicki portrayal! In case you weren’t aware already ;} It seems effortless the way that you convey the subtle nuances of his character, a difficult thing when there’s so little of him in canon to go from. Keep it up! <3 <3 <3

//Thank you so much, darling! I worry that I make my characters a bit too kind, so I’m trying to find little cruelties here and there, plus the madness… But he WAS kind, before he was tortured in Les Innocents, and surely some of that still lives within him somewhere, right? Alongside the cruelty and madness and music?

^D’accord. The kindness is part of what we love about him. He was always a little mad. The cruelties and madness increased later, especially when he was introduced to a whole new level of misery by the Children of Darkness, and then he found a way to revel in it. I love him for his strength in using his musical talent to rise again and triumph where a weaker person might have just remained paralyzed by the trauma he suffered.

#BUMP #FYI this Nicolas de Lenfent ( a-misunderstanding-my-love ) kicks butt and you should send him asks and such.
