MEME: Reverse Questions

[citycouncil]

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.

For the last time we did this one, check out the tag.

Bearing in mind that I haven't seen FTWD and don't know the proliferation of zombies but has Nick been able to relax while he's been in Darrow? Does he regret being here when his family's not or is he taking time to live it up?

Who of yours do you think is the most settled and content? The least?

Are you excited to play J.J.?

[thetinydemon]

Nick never really relaxes, is the thing. He pretty much thrives on chaos. In fact, the apocalypse did a lot to help him settle/find himself. Or so he thinks. In Darrow, things are pretty quiet for him, but that in itself has made him feel really unsettled. He made the choice to leave his family BEFORE coming to Darrow, so if he does regret it (which part of him does) he hasn't really admitted it to himself.

Most content? At the moment, probably Tommy Conlon. Thomas and Jenko are fairly content, also, but they've both always got demons they're wrestling with. The least? Spike, definitely.

YES.

In the wake of losing Andrea, how is Spike coping? Is he turning to any old habits?

Between Spike and Lestat, which do you think is the better vampire?

[thetinydemon]

Not well. Old habits in that he's drinking a lot, and being a generally sarcastic, obnoxious bastard, but he's past the point of returning to his murderous ways.

LOL It depends on what you mean by "better" vampire. Probably Lestat. For a while, their personalities kind of converged, but since gaining his soul, Spike's less about being a good vampire and more about being a good man. Lestat has this wild lust for life and beauty and pleasure, which is fairly unmatched. If you're talking about which one is a better person? Spike, but Lestat has his moments.

How has Freddie not slept with at least three of yours yet??

No, more seriously: What is it about a character that makes you want to play them? Is it different every time or is there always the same sort of pull? Is there ever a common catalyst?

[thetinydemon]

Because I'm the worst.

It varies, to a degree. I like characters who are outcasts, in some way. I like sarcastic bastards, but that generally have a lot of depth to them. I like people who exist outside of society or outside the law, in some way. I tend to like characters who have one major flaw (either real or perceived by them) or reason that they fundamentally hate themselves (LOL). I tend to play characters who appear not to give a shit about anything/anyone, but who are often secretly pretending to be apathetic, to protect themselves. I tend to enjoy characters that seem to be one thing, but at some point in the canon, your opinion of them is turned on its head, like with Merry Barrett. A few of my characters have been unpopular with fandom (Carl Grimes comes to mind). A lot of my pups have major daddy issues, for whatever reason.

A LOT of the time, I can pick out the exact moment/line with in a canon where I knew I wanted to play that character. With Tommy, it's the quote at the top of his wiki. It was this very startling A-HA moment for me in the theater. With Carl Grimes, it was the pudding scene in season 4. With Curtis, it was his confession near the climax of the movie. With Nick Clark, there was a very specific scene in the season 1 finale where I was like WELP.

A lot of the time, for me, it happens really suddenly. I'll love a character, but it's not until they say and do something that surprises me, that I'm really pulled into the idea of playing them.

[femmejosephine]

I'm forever in awe that you manage to play such odd and often disturbed/disturbing characters. It really does take talent do do that right.

Anyway. Questions. Right.

Where does Tommy want to be in five years?

[wildefae]

Ugh, I love all your pups so much. You know this. We're done here.

Which of your current pups has gotten to the darkest place without you planning it?

How does Neil feel about Grantaire?

What does Curt need in his life right now? (As opposed to want for himself, necessarily.) Is that something it'll be easy or difficult to achieve do you think?

Which of your characters has Darrow changed the most?

What's up with Merry? I haven't been keeping up I think.

[eternaldaisy]

Whaaaat does Tommy want/imagine for the future with him and Lucy?

Would Jenko ever forgive Fiona if he found out she'd slept with someone else?

WILL CURTIS EVER GET HIS SHIT TOGETHER REGARDING BETH, INQUIRING MINDS (Yona) WANT TO KNOW

Apart from the item you've given her, do you have any plans for Merry's past to follow her to Darrow? Do you think she'll ever open up to anyone about it?

How is Nick doing? Do you foresee him falling into old habits anytime in the near future, or will he find another substitute sort of like he did in canon?

Do you have any specific plans yet for J.J.?
