Meme: Reverse Questions

[not_acute]

Muns: Post here listing all of the characters you play (you might want to list journals, too, just for reference) or are thinking of playing.

Everyone: Ask the MUNS anything about the GAME or THEIR PUPS, because we all know the muns will answer when the characters won't. They can be specific questions ("How does he feel about her?") or general questions ("Why did you choose this pup?", "How do you channel them?", etc.) You can even have pups ask the questions, but ANSWERS are coming from the MUNS.

Favorite thing about all your Emma Stone characters, and...go

Also: are you going to have Cameron acquire his bitcoin fortune and go to spaaaace?

My favorite thing about playing Hannah, other than the fact that generally, when I do so, I'm just ridiculously happy, is that I see a lot of myself in her. Like, a lot. But we clearly handled our shit very differently, and so it's like... she's... the version of me that actually became a lawyer and fell in love and got married and had a kid, and she has this kind of amazing life that, in learning to embrace what she wants over what she "should" want, is basically the perfect example of what she was trying too hard to get all along. And, yeah, living out that alternate life, I guess? Yes.

Olive... everything. I love the highs and the lows, I love that she's actually a really unreliable narrator, and I love the access she gives me to so many aspects of the game because she clicks with so many different kinds of people. I think my favorite has to be getting to watch her grow up, though. She was 17 when I first started playing her, and she turns 21 in June, and I really feel that I've done a good job of keeping her recognizably who she is in the movie while still having her grow and evolve, and a lot of that has been in her relationship with Eduardo, where, between being with him and being away from home, she's in a much more adult position than she would have been at this point in her life back home.

I'm trying not to be long-winded but I can't stop oh my god

My favorite thing about Gwen is potential. Like, that's the word that's always in my head with her. I think the great tragedy of Gwen Stacy can't be about Peter's grief. It has to be about the loss and about his arrogance and this big turning point in his story, but on her side, that comes from so much potential. She's so bright and kind and the world loses a lot not having her in it. But potential is unfulfilled, and Gwen is still so young, so there's this really enjoyable blend of someone who is very mature but not very grown up, who's sort of aged by circumstance but still very much a kid, and I enjoy that juxtaposition.

Oh, Gracie. At the risk of making her sound less fully realized than she is in my head, she's my chance to play with clichés, and what's underneath all that. Gangster Squad didn't spend a whole lot of time on why Grace is the way she is or where she's from or any of that, but there's stuff to extrapolate from, and I've had a lot of fun pulling together this girl who's really so quintessentially American, and using bits and pieces of very cliché old stories to create her background, because I think that she does that. Grace is so vulnerable and fragile that she's built herself a shield concocted from the movies she grew up on, and it's shaped like Lauren Bacall and Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner, and she mimics them in her movement and her voice and her speech when she's not with someone she trusts as completely as she does Jerry (and sometimes then too), so I like getting to play with that trope-studded surface and what it's hiding, which is, really, a story as old as Hollywood. And it means I get to mimic that very stylized 1940s film dialogue style from time to time which is so much fun.

I WISH. HE WOULD LOVE TO GO TO SPACE. Bitcoin is out of the question, but he might one day get his settlement from the Facebook case. I've been putting it off, though, and probably will for a while to come, because I enjoy seeing him struggle with being lower middle class. 8D
