Screw it, I cave. :D


Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.

Zelenka!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

1) Zelenka doesn't actually like coffee all that much. Well... he likes it, certainly, but he doesn't have the weird love affair with it that Rodney does and could quite happily live without it. It is one of his greatest joys in life to pour out a cup of coffee, drink a little less than half, and then throw it away - somewhere in Rodney's view - when it gets cold.

2) He used to be married. He loved her more than he knew how to cope with, more than he thought it was possible to love anything other than the way the universe fit together. He tried, he really tried, but the nights got later and the phonecalls to let her know got more and more infrequent and she couldn't understand that his being able to think about and love something else that much didn't mean he didn't still love her more than he ever could have said. She asked him to choose and he chose her but he couldn't make it last. He didn't realise the choice had been made for him a long time before.

3) Radek has a very pleasant voice and tends to break randomly into song when he's working in the labs. No one knows that the Czech songs he's singing are actually filthy.

2) is really depressing.

Charlie Weasley.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

1) Charlie used to love hanging out with his dad in the shed, playing with his collection of plugs. When you're related to the twins causing havoc all the time, and Bill being the angelic-faced cherub, and Percy with his brain, it's kind of difficult being the middle child with nothing in particular to recommend you. He wasn't interested in Muggle technology even remotely, sometimes dozed off during his dad's lectures, but occasionally he'd get a grin and a quick ruffle of his hair and that made it totally worth it.

2) You can't transfigure into magical creatures, obviously, because the different breeds of magic'd cause all sorts of problems, but Charlie wouldn't turn into a dragon anyway. They're fascinating and beautiful and dangerous and he loves them fiercely, but they're completely alien, too. Everything he's not. It's one of those things you do, though - talk about what you'd be, if you were an Animagus, if the idea wasn't bloody ridiculous with your grades at school. And Charlie always said he'd be an eagle or a falcon or something fast and winged, 'cos that's what he thought people expected him to say. Truth was, he thought he'd be a dog. Cheerful, and a bit stupid, and fiercely, dumbly loyal.

3) When Charlie kept growing taller and broader, not skinny and long like his older brother, when he worked out that being a Seeker was getting less and less easy and it'd probably make more sense to retrain as a Chaser or Beater, it just about broke his heart. It'd be easy enough to get involved with a local team, even in Romania, but he doesn't really play any more.

Stephen Maturin :D

[villainny.livejournal.com]

1) On occasion, Stephen finds himself embarrassed and appalled by Jack's behaviour or lack of decorum or ignorance. These occasions are the ones on which he does not merely smile indulgently but defends Jack to others with great energy and vigour.

2) Stephen, although he has sympathy, is not a homosexual. He has never indulged in such desires, has always been attracted to (and not unrelatedly, bemused by) women. However, if it were - were Jack to ask... Not that he has thought about it, of course, but it's very likely that he wouldn't refuse. If it was what Jack wanted.

3) He knows far more about the functioning of a ship than he'd ever let on. He merely enjoys Jack's apoplectic flailing.

*ponders*

Vimes!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

1) Vimes is large. He contains multitudes. Nearly everything in his life has at least two positions, at least two directions it's pulling him in. He hates damned vampires but thinks Sally's a competent officer and Otto Chriek is far more use than he lets on. He loathes the size of the force now, the amount of work and men and crime there is now, wishes for a return to the days where it was just a man and a bell, and at the same time he can't help but be damned proud of the thing he's a part of. There have only ever been two things in his life that don't pull him apart at the seams, that make the world solid, and he loves Sybil enough that he gave up the other one for her.

2) He never wanted to leave the city, like Fred, never saw the appeal of a farm with chickens nailed around the door. He's always vaguely dreamed of opening up some sort of restaurant, somewhere someone else can do the cooking and he can put his boots up, drink endless cups of good coffee, watch the world go by without suspecting every last one of the bastards of having an ulterior motive. (In his dreams he's capable of doing that.)

3) He has mentioned - to Fred, Nobby, Carrot - that he expects Vetinari to kill him one day. The truth is, he hopes he will. Once he gets too powerful, or too nosy, or more trouble than he's worth he knows that he will have to disappear; he hopes that he means enough to Vetinari, that he's important enough, that it's made personal.

[skygiants]

Vimes and Sybil and Vetinari! *glees*

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

Rodney!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

1) When the piano teacher told Rodney that he was technically very proficient but he'd never make a professional, he went out into the garage and grabbed one of the rockets he'd made - the big one, the one he'd been saving for a really special occasion - and a heavy duty elastic band. He strapped the piece of music he'd been playing from to it and trudged into the woods behind his house where he set it off with a ridiculous bang that scared the neighbours to death and got another warning from the local police to his mum and dad. He'd have liked to have done that with all of his sheet music, but whatever Rodney does he does to excess and he'd never manage to build enough rockets. The rest of it went into an enormous bonfire that nearly set the forest aflame. (It's possible the local police station had his number on speed dial.)

2) He secretly always believed the piano teacher. Hated him, but believed him. One day, after a particularly harrowing escape and a last minute cobbling together of any spare parts lying around, after the shouting had stopped but before Rodney could actually haul himself to his feet and collapse face first into his bed for a few hours, Radek was poking at the device he'd made and shook his head, his voice half-awed and half-wry as he solemnly informed Rodney that he's an artist.

Rodney didn't burst into grateful tears, because that would be ridiculous, but it was a close-run thing.

3) Rodney doesn't equate sex and love. There's absolutely no need for the one to be related to the other, and just because he might have unfortunate feelings for one person, this doesn't have any bearing whatsoever on whether he sleeps with another.

Once he is actually in a relationship, though, he's strictly monogamous. Why risk pissing someone off and losing a steady source of sex? Not to mention that trying to keep one person happy is difficult enough. Two? Are you insane?

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

All of these read as being spot on for Rodney! Thanks! :)

God.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

1) Nobody has it right. God is actually seriously amused by all the different ways people have of thinking about it, and gets a kick out of the fact that there are only so many sounds the human mouth can form and it's impossible to talk about God without using the same sounds you'd use to talk about a particularly satisfying bowel movement.

2) God has many different costumes but sucks at doing the voices. Read: there are many different religions, but there are certain common threads, things that are better to do than others.

3) God hates sad white-boy key-change boyband hymns.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

3) Screw you, C of E!

[unravels.livejournal.com]

Fahye stole mine! But it's what I'm reading right now, so at the risk of being incredibly boring... Aubrey.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

1) Jack Aubrey loves his wife, doesn't understand his children, respects his crew and would choose Stephen over any other person in the world ever.

2) Killick once saved Jack's life, and he has an almost familial sense of loyalty to the man. He'll put up with far more from him than from any other member of the crew, often including Stephen.

3) Jack knows far more about the natural world than he'd ever admit, and his flailing about vampires is merely to see Stephen's exasperated face, which is one of his favourites.

[unravels.livejournal.com]

:D! *flails*

I love this story so much. Haven't seen any vampires yet, though - I'm looking forward to that. Stephen is hilarious. Like, exhaling tea out the nose funny.

And now I must go in search of M&C fic. It has become a physical need. *sigh*

[tropes.livejournal.com]

John Sheppard.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

You should understand from the story I'm writing that I seriously do not get John Sheppard. XD

[tropes.livejournal.com]

Why do you think I requested him?

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

You impress me so much, you really do. I'm... in awe, and I would love so much to be able to do some of the things you do. You're amazing.

And I would like to know about... hmm... Danny from Sports Night. (Or Casey. Or Chuck or Geoffrey. Or Novak, if you have no mental canon about any of those people. :D)

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I... what?

*blushes*

Where did that come from?

And, by the way, I am writing the part before the part in which there is phone sex. :D!

This is an awesome meme.

Sirius Black!

Andre!
::why no, not on a nostalgia kick the last day or so, why do you ask?::

[villainny.livejournal.com]

1) André is used to getting hurt in the line of duty, and he's okay with pain, he can deal with it just fine, see. He's more likely to underplay it, do himself damage through not admitting to it, and Cable Street's resident Igor has actually tied him to a bed more than once. Being sick, though? That scares him. He completely falls apart and holes up and is generally pathetic until Skazz agrees to come look after him. They kind of make it into a joke, make like it's André taking advantage, and don't mention how he curls himself tightly around the kid and won't let go.

2) He spends most of his time barefoot and won't put on shoes unless he absolutely has to, when he's at home. Regardless of weather.

3) André was actually convinced for the longest time that he wouldn't ever fall in love again after his wife, Artaith, died. He managed to keep thinking that even for a year after he met the kid, managed to convince himself until he visited the UU and found Skazz on the roof in the dead of winter, wrapped in a dozen blankets and still shivering, watching the stars with an awed expression on his face. It happened a hell of a lot earlier than that, to be honest, but that was when he gave in.





And now suddenly I miss them fiercely. GODDAMN YOU! XD

[minkhollow]

Well, there are other games.
::didn't say that:: XD

reading this has demkoted me from 'SIM regenerator' to 'mad fangirl' again.
