1. Pick a character I've written and I will explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.
2. Josh went in for a crown and was treated to the joy of a root canal. *full body shudder*
3. You know how sometimes you think about this dude you know, "That is a five year old trapped in the body of a full grown man," but then you realize that you've parented a five year old and she was way more mature at five?
4. I enjoyed last night's SPN episode. I like Benny, and I like his relationship with Dean, and I like that it introduces a new element in the brother dynamic. Many things have come between Sam and Dean, but this is the first time that one of them has chosen a "new brother." Ruby comes between them, but there's a sexual dimension to her relationship with Sam, and Sam hasn't decided that she's the brother Dean never was or whatever. I like having new emotional ground for them because OMG have they worn tracks in most of the available acreage. I thought that Martin's behavior at the end was very OOC given what we saw of him in the previous episode he appeared in.

Date: 2012-12-07 01:55 am (UTC)1. I think Deanna is extremely sensitive to the idea that she might be using her powers--not for evil because she's clearly not evil LOL--but for her own gain or to get her what she doesn't necessarily deserve.
2. I think she loves Will Riker 100% wholeheartedly but part of her will always wonder what marrying Worf instead would have been like.
3. I think she doesn't understand her mother at all but loves her very fiercely. Lwaxanna is embarrassing and irritating and inexplicable to Deanna, but she also makes life a lot of fun, and if he weren't her Captain, she would seriously LOL at Picard's reactions to her mom all the damn time.
4. Her friendship with Beverly is her closest friendship. She gets along pretty well with everyone on the ship, and she's got plenty of friends elsewhere as well, but Beverly is her BFF. Part of it is that their professions are both centered around healing and involve some of the same emotional skills. But the other part is that they're both often underestimated. Beverly can drink anybody under the table and she knows eleventy million raunchy drinking songs and Deanna knows more dirty jokes than all the ensigns combined but somehow nobody expects that of either of them. They've become the madonna figures in a lot of ways to the rest of the crew and it gets irritating always being seen as this mom on a pedestal. Beverly gets Deanna in a way that many of the other women she's served with don't.
5. Deanna keeps in touch with Alexander for the rest of her life. She considers him a surrogate son, and she enjoys being friends with him once he's an adult. (Also they play pranks on Worf.)

Date: 2012-12-07 02:01 am (UTC)1. Hawkeye doesn't trust many people. He trusts Coulson and Natasha and that's pretty much it. He *likes* plenty of people, and he'd die for a fair few as well, but trust? Just those two.
2. He's really wary about developing attachments to anyone because that not only makes him vulnerable but leaves whoever he's attached to with a big bulls eye on their back.
3.
He hides his super-emo vulnerable woobie interior underneath a shell of steel---okay that's just my story, really, and not a deep-seated Clint belief LOLno subject
