Talk:Dustfinger/Relationships

Listing order
Hi there people! (If anyone is still around!) I belatedly realized the page didn't exactly have instructions written out black-and-white; I think through out the many edits, at one point, I might have just rearranged the listing order to what I think being unbiasedly appropriate, without indicating what I had in mind; so I figured I'd just clarify it here in case anyone had questions or would like to suggest another way.

I don't believe there was any particular order prior to the rearrangement... Of course, if we want to go for the "absolute" order that has the minimum factor to argue upon, it would probably be to arrange characters in the alphabetical order of their names; however, my reason for NOT taking that route, is because I felt that way, it makes the list somewhat impersonal, and viewers won't necessarily see the most relevant relationships first. Then it comes to the fact that what's "most relevant/crucial" can be subjective to begin with, so I figured matching up the treatment with character bio, as in canon chronological order, is the next best thing.

That being said, sometimes it's still not exactly easy to determine which relationship starts first, at least for me I mean. The current order is based on observations and deductions of the material on the page itself and my recollection towards the trilogy; I am NOT 100% sure if the current order is the most suitable, so if there's any suggestions, voicing them here would be deeply appreciated!

Another thing to clarify though, I put Meggie after Resa, because I know, although technically Dustfinger did in fact spend time with Meggie FIRST, during the time, Meggie was SO young that she basically did not have memory of the encounter; THEN, when Mo took baby Meggie and left Dustfinger behind, Dustfinger spent a great deal of time being friends with Resa. I feel that it is justifiable to mention a relationship that counted, first, as oppose to a relationship that has a large time gap in between. Anyways, as I wrote all this, I figured I'd work on Meggie's section on this page soon since the info is missing. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 04:37, June 2, 2016 (UTC)
