Parallel Lines )
this afternoon someone posted a casey drabble which started out fine, until it got to the last line and just completely slammed the poor girl, again, like everyone does.
before dinner i posted to my lj a revelation about the scene at the end of serendipity, and olivia's resulting sexuality.
i come back from dinner and you've a) written casey in a way that makes me want to marry you, b) completely gone "fuck you" to mariska's playing of that scene, and c) written the boots.
yay you!
i love this piece. i love your casey. i love the boots. i love the imagery and the personality and the character. i've only seen a couple of eps of casey, so i don't know how the character develops, but i *love* that you're writing casey from a point of view that's not completely slagging her.
which is kinda something you had to do for the person requesting it, but nonetheless, you do it well *g*

I know! My best friend and I always scream when we see them. "Oh my God, they are so inappropriate!" But I give her the benefit of the doubt and say she knows it...I hate when people slam her for every little thing.

Ooh, do I get a ring? I like white gold.

Well thank you! I don't really have a good idea of her as a character yet, either, so this story was a complete guesswork kind of thing. All I know is she has an entire wardrobe of impulse buys, she wears knee-high boots to work, and she really doesn't seem happy; I had never thought of her much beyond that. And now here she is. And I kind of like her.

hee, i was more like "ok, i don't care how annoying and incompetent she may prove to be, i'd sleep with her solely on the basis of those boots" *g*
i also, i must say, thought "ok, anyone who has the guts to wear those boots to court is either really fucking stupid, or really fucking cool." and since i was sick of everyone bagging her, i decided it made her really fucking cool. *g*

Well...I kind of think it's really fucking stupid, but that she knows it and she still does it, all like "Whatever, I'm going to make an ass of myself anyway." I sense a lot of self-loathing in Casey. But that's cool. In a way. LOL.

Oh hell yeah! Is there a diamond, too? *inspects*

i tell you, a week at a time with a three week break a couple of eps in is a very frustrating way to meet a new character. i wanna know more, dammit!
