Rorschach =/= The Joker.
Found a fic called "Emotion" about Rorschach. Investigated further. OW.
It's about Rorschach being confused about some woman he saves, or decides not to kill, or something. It looks like the author has him mixed up with The Comedian and The Joker. What a lovechild that union would create.
Spork in bold.
the capillaries of the city retched with muggings rape and terror.
That has to be one of the worst metaphors I've ever seen. Capillaries retched? I don't want to know which biology class the author took.
I had taken a drink too many that night
Um... As far as I'm aware, Rorschach's incredibly right-wing conservatism prevents the whole alcoholism thing. He didn't seem like a "I feel sucky. Let's go get wasted" type in the film =S
I let his bladed lunge connect with my shoulder, to humor him.
Since when does Rorschach just let people slice him to ribbons?
I was shocked to see him frozen, eyes wide open, he seemed shocked that I wasn’t invincible, just human.
Well, we know what we need to get this author for their birthday. Other than a copy of Watchmen.
Under my face my mouth smiled.
Why do so many people have Rorschach smiling? It seems so... un-Rorschach-like.
The rapist stumbled back across the slick dampened floor
Slick = wet or oily. It's either slick or damp; make a choice =|
Carved my signature into his chest, daintily placed the knife in his skull to keep it propped open for the authorities to stare at…
Methinks the author forgot what s/he was writing about. It makes no sense whatsoever for him to carve his signature into someone.
Stood up and brushed off the little chunks of the man’s flesh off my coat, lifted my face and exposed my skin to the night air, it was a nice.
...A nice what? Butterfly? Banana? Boomerang? Why is he removing his mask at such a time?
I looked in horror as I saw the woman that was being raped huddled by a dumpster, looking right at me.
"ONOZ! D:" Also - is he watching himself looking at the woman?
Could kill her, but then what would I be?
Oh! Oh! Me! Me! Rorschach! Out Of Character! =D
his face burned out [of a photograph] with what I assume to be a lighter or cigarette.
Well, which one was it? They each leave very different burns.
The last thing was a little folded piece of paper, in the shape of a Rorschach test, I didn’t know what to think of it.
I know what to think of it. *cough*MarySue*cough*
Probably could’ve been completely naked and her body would’ve been more concealed than by her shredded apparel.
Um... no. No, nudity doesn't work that way.
her fairly large breasts rose up through the ripped cloth their pinkish tips exposed to the air of the outside world.
OH NO! They have minds of their own! RUN, RORSCHACH! You cannot win against the Sue's TWINS OF DOOM!
Her panties were dark grey with purple stripes, kinda shiny, were barely hanging onto her waist, I liked them... for the color, I’m not a perv.
Maybe he's thinking about getting a pair? He's totally not a perv. Nope, not a perv at all. But then, "not a perv" would be IC...
Took the bloodied clothes off of her and set them down on the floor, I kept the panties…
...Maybe he really wanted a pair?! T_T
She would have some pretty serious scars from all the slicing and stabbing that the rapist did, the guy avoided her face, bust and crotch mostly
One of the fundamental Sue rules - if your ideal guy doesn't have obvious facial scars, your Sue shouldn't either.
“You tore his fucking head in half with your bare hands for fun!”
Great observation, Sue. Maybe we'll find out he's wearing a Walter Kovacs mask under the Rorschach mask and he's actually the Joker in disguise.
This is huge Rorschach! I’m not going to have to fix my door anymore! I’m proud of you.”
Oh great; we have huge!Rorschachs now?!
Cannot spork the rest. It's so painful. It's mostly Rorschach killing people in Joker-esque ways and being all "ZOMG I have the feelings!" over the girl (Stephanie). Now, we know that Rorschach does kill in horrible ways. I'm not denying it. But he seems to really relish it in this fic, which seems so very OOC to me. OW.
