(FIC) Something To Talk About (2/2)

Jul 01, 2011 02:55



It was early morning when I woke up, and saw Ripcord stretching and yawning in the passenger’s seat, but a peek in the rearview mirror showed a distinct lack of either Roadblock or Tunnel Rat.

“Weird.” I said, but the door between the cab and the back of the Coyote was closed, and I thought it had been left open last night. ( Read more... )

Cute! Poor Duke, the demands of being a leader aren't always what one expects, are they?

Also, I think Ripcord's brain might have broke a little for a bit. At least they're all handling it well.

Wonder how it's gonna go from here.

Thanks!

No, leadership brings with it a plethora of surprises, I'm sure...

It's kind of fun to break Ripcord's brain. I'm getting used to him being back with the living and with the team... but I probably won't be writing a lot about him... I guess since he spent so much of the series sequestered away as Patient X, he's just not as fleshed-out as the others?

Sometimes I like to write obstacle-facing, us-against-the-world, forbidden love slash, but... in this universe, it just felt like I couldn't write any member of the team being *against* it. They just all had to be at least passively supportive.

That's probably it. Though today's episode did kinda play him well, it still didn't give a lot of background on RC himself.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm not saying it can't be written, but it just seems to add extra unneeded drama to write otherwise. So long as RB and TR don't let their priorities get mixed up, then there's really no reason to have a problem, right?

Yeah. I guess I don't mind not getting background, since I'll admit I'm less interested in him anyway, but it is nice to get more depth.

Exactly. Drama is good, but drama for drama's sake gets everything off-track.

Hee, same here kinda! I was actually half-expecting them to never bring RC back in, outside of taunts on Mind Bender's behalf against the team. So it is really nice to see them giving him a little bit of depth but at the same time, kind of irritating that we won't see any real character development for him since the series is getting put on hiatus after next week.

Seriously. It's the same thing with humor, there can only be so much of it so often.
