[meme] reverse questions

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.

His on-going canon, for sure. I have a bad history of losing steam when I play pups that still have canon coming out every week. Headspace is everything to me as a writer and while I love new background info, like childhood stuff, I can't handle differing headspaces very well. At the moment I'm playing a s2 Danny who, in my opinion, is much more under-developed (and sensitively written/acted) than the s3 Danny I see on tv every week. It makes me question my own writing and it stops me from enjoying the show as organically as I would if I wasn't so invested in his character because I play him.

Maybe that's a cop-out. It's not really a Danny-specific response! So I'll also say that not caricaturing him is challenging. I love his hypocrisy, I love his judgmental side, I love the curmudgeonly old man, I love that he contradicts his own self-proclaimed values and behaviors almost constantly but sometimes it's hard because, to an outside, it might look inconsistent or like I'm not a conscientious player. I feel like I have to constantly justify him a little bit. But I swear, it's just him! He'll have a call girl in his phone and lecture Hedwig about giving people BJs for money! He'll harp on to Mindy about being unhealthy and light up a cigarette in the courtyard five minutes later! He's a Jesus freak and super Catholic but he's pro-contraception and has plenty of sex before marriage. He's straight through and through but he's tactile with those he likes (short list) of both genders and doesn't mind a flirt in the locker room.

But that's what I love about him. People are like that. He's the most "real" pup I play <3 He can be THE MOST BORING, NAIVE AND IGNORANT GUY EVER and then completely surprise you. Former stripper? Okay... Freaky in the bedroom? Alright. Down and dirty on the dance floor? Yes please.
