"YEAH THAT'S RIGHT JOURNAL I TYPED IT" AHAHAHA I cracked up.essbeejayAugust 30 2008, 07:55:13 UTC
DAW BOOMER. DAAAW BOOMER.
(OT: For the record, I ♥ the icon. Oh Buttercup.)
I love you for opening on Boomer, slouched on her bed. Plus the complete nonchalance at basically breaking into her room while she is naked not ten feet away. Deviant bastard.
That's just one of so many nice little touches throughout. I love Bubbles sitting at her vanity, determined to delay her own deviancy for as long as possible. Boomer being his adorable self with his whole "They come from... CHINA, perhaps?!" joke. The little shoutout for Fascist!Brick. The whole tripping on the edge of the carpet on the way to the bed, yes that was perfect! And their reaction, the giggling, gah, yes. And Bubbles knowing that distracting Boomer gets him to behave, totally perfect for this couple yes. Buttercup and her thirty minute WTF IS GOING ON IN THERE.
Those little insights into their relationship - Bubbles knowing how to "handle" Boomer, him caring enough to read up on issues that are important to her - feel v. true to character.
Oh! And favorite line, by far, because it's just... perfect for the two of them:
She wasn't shy anymore, though she had been - they both had been, if Boomer was honest with himself, but he'd die before he admitted it out loud, and he'd wanted her badly enough to conquer any fears he'd ever had about faltering.
DAW BOOMER.
Was that a dedication :O
Also, I second go_google_me's comment about WRITING MORE PPG please.
GOOD THAT WAS MY INTENTIONjuxtaposieAugust 30 2008, 15:25:43 UTC
Yes, yes that was a dedication. And I've already concocted what I hope will be an amusing scenario that might or might not involve getting arrested in a po-dunk little town, with Bubbles forcing Boomer to sit in the jail cell because it's RIGHT, DAMNIT, AND THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT ANYWAYS even though she's absolutely horrified. Anyways...
I'm so glad you enjoyed! As I mentioned above (many time, I think) I was a little nervous going into this, but you have definitely helped to bolster my confidence!
AND ALSO! I am so glad you chose the line you did, cause it was one of the few points in the reread where I stopped and went, "It's poignant... but is it TOO poignant!" and now I'm really glad I left it! Cause it's my favorite too!
