This makes me more upset than Nails being on the Mitchell Report. First piggies, now walruses. Is the universe against me or what?
Which, btw, the fact that he was the most prominent Phillie on there? In a way it makes me proud. Er, not of him, OBVIOUSLY, but just to know that all those years they sucked, and all these years of gradually getting better have been of their own accord. And also this sense of relief, in a way. I'd be lying if I didn't say that I thought there'd be more "big" names besides Len on there, just by association, since he'd been speculated about for so long. But a lot were journeymen/bench players.
The front page of the Reading Eagle had this huge space across the top. Something like CAUGHT! or CHEATED! or summat. ANYWAY. It had pictures of the likes of BARRY BONDS! and GARY SHEFFIELD! and ANDY PETTITTE! and...David Bell? One of these is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong...
I don't know what I think about the Mitchell Report, other than, "okay...now what?"
So guess what, a writing-related meme I'll actually do! No, seriously! I went over it quite a few times seeing if there's anything I couldn't/wouldn't answer and the only thing I could think of is perhaps #2. It's stoled from
offspeed btw.
So here:
Doesn't have to be anyone I write about, as that's very small, and I'd actually love to answer this about some of my Phils. NL East is surefire for answers, but if you wanna try your luck/be mean, you can go elsewheres. Can't promise you'll get decent answers goin' elsewheres but I'll definitely have a few answers, anyway.
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
