Want to write paper, but not in mood. Neck hurts a lot (re: rear-ending in friends car yesterday I have not written about yet). Thus I leave me you meme and will try to work on my Jhumpa Lahiri paper anyway.

Comment with your character's name (past or present) and the name of one of mine, and I will tell you:

1) how my character's opinion of the named character has changed over time, or
2) why my character does or does not get along/like/other with the named pup.

Mine, for reference, are:

Maid Marian (queenofmay)
Allie Keys (grandsuccess)
Star (bright_daughter)
Lyta Alexander (vorlon_weapon)

I think that the only one I can throw at you is Guy. Unless I am utterly failing to remember one of the others meeting any of your pups.

So. Guy. :d

Egad.

See this is the semi hard one. Which I think should start with this.

Without Milliways Marian would 'mostly hate' Guy, except because of Milliways Marian is torn between the fact she is uncertain what to do with the fact she thinks she might like him while 'mostly hating' him.

Especially if 'mostly hating' in the second reference is translated into omfgpolarbear why is he not killing people here or being mean and why does he keep trying to convince me he cares the world for me here but is still trying to cut out peoples tongues and killing people at home?

Guy in bar confused her because he's becoming a multidimensional person who has emotions and faceted opinions, not simply someone she can look on as the sheriffs dog. (And, oh, how she tries to keep this ability intact.) I think she's moved into a gray space where she doesn't, and can not, consider him the enemy, but she will not allow herself to consider him friend-material because he has too much power/black mail ability over her life and her fathers.

.....which will remain true until the end of the burnination oom. And then it will return, with even more powerful confusion and *cough*possiblerealfriendshipormore*cough*, a while later.

why does he keep trying to convince me he cares the world for me here but is still trying to cut out peoples tongues and killing people at home?

because he luuuuurves her and that's his job. :D heee. I think for Guy, it really is as simple as that. He's come to love her and wants Marian to understand that. He cuts out tongues and kills people because that's his job. It puts bread on the table.


I think Marian being in Milliways has made Guy love her more than he would have without her there. In Milliways, he doesn't have the Sheriff to worry about or maintain what position he has while at the same time trying to advance himself so he can better provide for the family he wants. So all there is to think about is Marian and what he hopes they will have together.


Hilariously, I think that bringing Tiny Guy in has only made his love of Marian worse. Or better. Or something. Because sub-consciously she is the princess he met one day when he was little. So maybe he doesn't entirely remember it any more, but it's there.

And now, I have crazy thoughts for after the wedding and the burnination and how Marian rejecting him leaves him with nothing and he kind of wants to do the same to her in a way but he can't leave her with nothing because he would have to kill her daddy for that. SO. Lashing out. And such. With brooding and angst.
