Interesting surname origin. I think ennui is my favourite part, captures something unique about his behaviour.

Thanks a lot :)

This is absolutely chilling and brutal and fantastic. I love how you've explored the character, the roots of where he came from and how he came to be the man we met in the series. Just...fantastic.

Oh wow, thank you for the lovely feedback! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much :D

Oh, Jim. His confusion as a little kid is just. Just. *flail* And then the whole thing about there being no Wonderland…oh, Jim. I just feel so bad for him. It's-I think it's that I perceive him as so innocent in this, with maybe just a bit of understanding at the end. That innocence is just heartbreaking.

(This is very helpful for character-building with Jim, too. I cosplay him, so a decent understanding of his character is crucial, and you've just provided that :). Thank you!)

Oh, thank you thank you! I'm so happy you've enjoyed it, and what's more, it does a good job at explaining the character's background.

*flails too*

Ow, I think I might have pulled something when I did that. I need to get in flailing shape, me thinks ;)

He has a very peculiar state of mind. There is no built in sense of right/wrong for him, everything just... is. Maybe's that's also why he's so bored. Maybe after a while he doesn't get the rush from his misbehaviour when he doesn't perceive it as misbehaving?

Thank you once again! You made my day :)

That thing about him being bored because there's no rush from misbehaving.

That makes so much sense.

I have a new headcanon now :D.
