Sometimes, people tell me random things and then stories happen. Like that time a friend told me to write a Doctor Who stapler monster. Stuff like that

crazy explanation (2/2) because lj comment size is too smallbendingsignpostJuly 18 2011, 14:53:39 UTC
Question: How does Rose wind up having him around?
Answer: Jackie buys him as a factory reject, a failed prototype. As one of the early attempts for a binary vascular system, he's biologically stable, but his blood pressure is a bit weird and not good for packaging purposes. He's still industrial grade in terms of recovery times and production, which is very fortunate. With great strain, he could probably keep an entire family alive for a couple years. With one person, he could go indefinitely.
Icky problem: How the hell to keep Jackie from feeding on him.
Solution: That blood pressure issue. He's too weird for her.
Resulting question: Why would Rose stick with him, then?
Answer: She's raised on frozen packs, he's her first that she's ever had to bite herself (when she was tiny, her dad would let her suckle from his bites, he was a right-biter like her, a concept borrowed from Buffy). She doesn't know he's off. Madly enough, this now means she's been ruined for anyone else

You're my favorite.

He loves Hagrid because Hagrid takes Harry away from the horrible people and gives him squishy horrible food and loves him terribly, and that sounds wonderful.
I HAD BETTER BE SEEING WHAT YOU DID THERE.
I should be responding individually to every single thing about this comment (and now you know how I feel about lj comment limits EVERY TIME YOU WRITE SOMETHING) (how dare they try to control our enthusiasm), but fuck if I can do much more than sit here in awe of your creative process. I don't make this many notes when I write a research paper, let alone a fic. TELL ME YOUR SECRETS.

With the Hagrid bit, he doesn't mean her. That's why he doesn't really finish that thought. At this point, he's fully behind the dream of getting your letter to Hogwarts.

Evidently Deviltown, Part 7bendingsignpostJuly 18 2011, 05:08:17 UTC
Mickey’s a great boyfriend, really. He’s funny, he is, especially when he’s got a new joke or something. She’s heard all the old ones, seen all his bits - and she means that in every way - and there’s a sense of comfort in the familiarity. He’s like a sofa she keeps sinking into. Maybe she’s not tired when she lies down, but it’s comfortable, eventually. She just has to work through the restlessness first, sometimes

She tries to shake her head, but there’s nothing for it. She’s not saying anything for a while yet. And then the noise settles in, the dialogue, and she laughs into the bloody toilet.
“Careful,” he says.
She tries to control herself but only gets down to the point of snickering. “Turn the porn off.”
“I’ve never seen telly before, you know,” he tells her. “I’m sure this is all relevant to my education.”
What education? She thinks it but doesn’t ask it. “We’ll find you something better,” she promises, lifting her head up from the toilet. “Something with a title that makes sense

OH. OH.
First it was all LOL MICKEY'S PORN WHAT A PRICK and then, then, you slow it down and he holds her hair AND THEN. That entire last bit. His present for her, given soft and dsugiokdl almost lovingly and she's on top of him and he's rubbing her back and you have no idea how much I want them to run away together to fight the system. None. It is incomprehensible, how much I want them to do this.
I SWEAR TO REPLACE YOUR BRAIN JUST AS SOON AS IT'S DONE EATING IT, OKAY. JUST LET IT FLOW.

You know, sometimes, I try to picture your facial expressions, but all I can ever visualize are hyperbole and a half illustrations. Possibly because you fill me with the same sort of ohmygodwhat joy.
Re: Evidently Deviltown, Part 7.1bendingsignpostJuly 20 2011, 22:44:41 UTC
A visual explosion of enthusiasm.
Oh, and there's a typo in the next part. Should be " It’s not like Jackie knows his face or his stupid ears or the crinkles around his eyes when he reads about Quidditch or talks about Hagrid. " Dramatically changes the meaning with "not" not there.
I'm thinking of reformatting, too. Comment chain feels less clunky now that the threads are compressing anyway.

I'll never need a self portrait (is it a self portrait still when someone else paints it?), it's all been drawn before.
I read that with such stars in my eyes (SUCH STARS) that I didn't even catch that, man. I must auto-correct on my way down the page because it never occurs to me that I wouldn't know what you meant on at least some level no matter the typo. /at one with the universe when reading your fic lol WHAT UP
I am just saying, you should post this like, officially. Crimes are being committed as we type because so many people don't know about its existence.

I'm trying this new thing where I finish all of my shit before I post it instead of just having an outline and pissing people off. So I'm having fun here and would like to keep the piecemeal commenting because I really feel like that's changing the way I write this. Tiny scenes. Call it an exercise in pacing, I certainly am.
anything I already do doctor/rose gone crazy AU

Compulsive connection making.

I admit the Hagrid thing was a leap. But don't think I didn't notice you conveniently not mentioning the feeding one person indefinitely thing.

Dude, do you have any idea how bored this man is? He has a deck of cards and seven books and that is it.
