So, children, any ideas for scenes in which Matthias shall learn to be a human person? He's already getting a haircut and probably some nicer clothes, and I was thinking things like dancing or ettiquette, as well as...I don't know
( Read more... )
there should be some fouling it up and then correction and then getting it right sort of and then pwning the manners. Yeah.
Umm...
Etiquette, table manners, dancing is good (boy-boy dancing scene has the potential for awkwardness. Fun times.), proper speech (the rain in spain and all that).
See, I had a plan for the dancing. Jordan has a bff Mallory who will be appearing prolly about...two segments down the road, or so, and she was going to help with the dancing.
Except Matthias will be terrible at it. And after she leaves Jordan is going to be like "dude ur made of failbiscuits" and THEN there shall be awkward boy-boy dancing. -cackles evilly-
So, what is being fouled up? :p -likes that premises, she thinks, except she doesn't know what the first bit is-

You can also use subtler means -- such as having him in the room while Justin is talking to other people, etc. Have him learning through osmosis.

Ummm...I think Kadollan's suggestion of subtlety is a good one. It's a difficult skill to master as a writer.
