Kid characters are tricky to write. There’s always a balance to strike between capturing that unique sense of reckless childhood innocence, and the intelligence and self-possession with which most kids handle themselves. You carry that well with Asriel, and it makes him feel a lot more real for it. I haven’t had a chance to read Rail’s threads yet, but I suspect they’re equally quality. best goatchild
