State of the Pup (singular)
wow, this is surprisingly easy with only one...
Falco, bane and delight of my life that he is, is actually pretty fine right now. Or at least as fine as he can be after the statue thing. (Which I have been plugging away at for far too long now and it's totally my fault and I'm sorry, but work just sort of went haywire especially with all of the heightened fpcons recently and planes breaking, but at least I passed my pt test and... yeah. My fault. I'm going away over the long weekend too and 'll probably end up dropping it. Sorry.) Yes, he misses his Helena terribly and there's no way he could ever get over her, but he's the sort of guy who rolls with the punches and right now he's going to keep on trucking along helped with booze, bikinis and a foul-mouthed parrot. Come next month I fully plan on using my newfound extra free time to be tagging him into more people. No particular people in mind, but definitely people. (He definitely wants to meet up with Aphrodite again after a certain meme...)
Truth Plot: He will not be directly participating, but his informer self will be taking full advantage of it, especially since he has met some people that he's pretty damn sure have more going on then they're telling. We're looking at you, Secret History kids.
Age/Gender Plot: Hells yes. For a while I was considering having him as a woman since it would mess so horribly with his mind, but then I found icons of this Italian kid with the curls and the perfect grin and my choice was made.
Possibles are now possible seeing as how June is right around the corner. My queue has been reshuffled multiple times since rejoining, but I think it's a good sign that the cast itself hasn't really changed at all. If all goes well Johnny Maxwell will be rejoining the island sometime next month, though this will have to be further coordinated with Coraline's fourteen year old raaaage. At some point I would also like a certain Miss Tiffany Aching just so I can have someone on the island who is actually useful. I've been rereading so much Pterry and lord, I love her. A George Luz (maybe possibly someday) is someone I'd really love to bring back, but that would also be releasing a whole can of worms that I know I can't deal with currently, plus, it would mean I'd actually have to... get over some me-ness. Charles Macaulay is someone I'm rather interested in, but I still balk a bit at the incest. Bilbo Baggins intimidates me with his awesome, but at the same time I keep coming up with possible ep's so that must be a good sign. He's the one who does the most queue position jumping.
And the queue was found good and wholesome and thus it stayed for a good six months or so, despite some rather constant shuffling of places. ...and then I saw Thor. And I keep telling myself that someone else will take on Loki since I know there's no way in hell I could do him justice, but oh, it is tempting. So much tempting wrapped in layer after layer of psychological goodness. No. I will resist. There must be others out there.
