Firefly: This Isis Family Profiles

May 25, 2011 20:45

Meet the members of the Isis Family (or the ones that really matter, i.e. the ones Jayne really cares about). You know what that means... the next chapter of Giselle later this week.

( Radiant Cobb )

Wheeeee, I was so tickled to see Elizabeth Taylor as Jayne's Mom, Radiant. The name Radiant fits her and she has those gorgeous eyes, like Jaynes. This is going to be so much fun. I can't wait. :)

Thanks! I'm glad you like my casting choice for Jayne's Ma. Elizabeth Taylor seemed the best choice as she has the really regal look to her as well as the ability to command respect. Also, she looks like she could be pretty badass herself. ;)

LOVE! Luce and Gale remind me of another River and Jayne. I love rich back stories...it's something I have worked hard to implement with the Spiral-verse as well. And so, so, so fucking stoked to see more of 'Giselle!'

Luce shares a number of parallels with River, which you'll probably be able to spot right away once I get the two-shot focusing on Jayne during the Independence War finished (almost done now - knock on wood!). But yeah - Gale and Luce share the same kind of epic love story... although, they were a bit smarter and actually realized that they were sharing a romantic love story while River and Jayne are still stuck firmly in the land of De Nile.

But their land of De Nile is so, so amusing to the rest of us;) I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually...

That will be a sad day as then we'll no longer be able to shake our heads fondly at their silliness. I'm pretty sure that's the main reason why I love this ship so very, very much. ;)

I don't check LJ for one day. One day! And I miss the Isis Family Profiles for a good 24 hours. I am ashamed of myself ( ... )

green_amberjade May 27 2011, 01:56:24 UTC

Don't feel too bad - there have been several instances with me where I didn't check LJ for more than two weeks. If anyone should be ashamed, it should be me.

I'm glad you enjoyed Luce, Gale and Erin. They've been living in my head the longest (and doesn't that sound weird?) so they're the most developed, although Mattie is getting up there because of her relationship with Erin. She's really the only one who can shut him up. There will definitely be fireworks when the trio meet up with River, with Luce and River facing off, Erin talking weather to a baffled Mal, and Gale setting out the tea things.

River might never fully understand the complicated relationship between Jayne and his Ma, but Jayne's Ma knows exactly what's good for her boy. Plus, they'll have cute grandbabies. ;)

I'm glad you enjoyed these profiles. The next chapter is going to be in Erin's perspective as he realizes that Jayne's gone and fallen in love, so I'm really happy to know that you like him and that he's believable.

Grandbabies?!

I may have just squeed myself to death. I will require at least one chapter far enough into the future that we are allowed to see what sort of superhero children Jayne and River produce. Please. I'll beg. Grovel, even.

green_amberjade May 27 2011, 15:27:33 UTC

Because it is you asking - I will most definitely produce a chapter, far, far into the future focusing on Jayne and River's children - who would probably end up being superhumans.

I wonder how many they have? I know that they have at least one... maybe three in the end? And one of them has to be a girl and the apple of her father's eye. Maybe two boys?

I also want to write a chapter where Ma Cobb and River's mommy meet. Two super powerful women in one room, having tea and generally making us all shiver in fear.

Words cannot express how much I get a kick out of your Erin profile, especially (and what an excellent match, putting the pictures of Michael Shanks from his psycho-AI guest spots on "Andromeda" together with the Luce description, since there's much less 'psycho Daniel Jackson' footage, I'm sure!).

green_amberjade June 2 2011, 04:20:08 UTC

Is it wrong to have a crush on my own character? Because I have to admit that I wouldn't mind being taken advantage of by Erin. He'd rob me blind, but I would still be giggling over the fact that he called me pretty.

I've only been able to catch a few brief beaks of Michael Shanks in that role, but he is so terrifying! I suppose that I could have also used footage from "Lifeboat" when Daniel was possessed by a dozen different personalities, but he still looks a little too sane there.
