the same big and little words [all spelling out desire]

RPG-wise; I have a habit of casting myself into the stereotype of the Antihero, the Morally Ambigious & Tomented Loner - the character who does evil deeds, and is forgiven by the audience because he (mostly he) is acting out of a ruined, painful background and is generally aware of his transgressions ( Read more... )

Antiheros are, in fact, some of the best characters to play.

I'd love to see you as a young Tom Riddle, back in his school days or early twenties. And, with the new canon, I could you you doing a really interesting take on Gellert Grindelwald.

Crowley. Please. Alternatively, War or Famine. On a tangential note, Susan Sto Helit or Lord Vetinari from the Discworld series.

LOTR, Boromir or Galadriel. No one plays tempation quite like you. Melkor or Maeglin from the Silmarillion. I could see you as a Thranduil, also; you play the right sort of pride.

Dorian Gray, from Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. I can't think of anyone better to play him.

Elphaba in Wicked, or maybe even Nessarose.

This comment is getting rather long.

Oh, oh, you're suited to a lot of Shakespeare characters, too. Edmund in King Lear, Iago in Othello, Brutus in Julius Caesar.

First of all, hank you. I am so flattered.

Young Riddle and Grindelwald I'd love to try, especially Grindelwald. The image of him laughing in the window sill refuses to leave my head. I think he's more jester than I usually do, but still. Still.

Ohgod, Crowley. He's hard to do. But oh. War and Famine would be fun. You'd do a killer (<<) Famine as well.

Noone plays temptation quite like you. kdjsf I am having this framed and put on my wall. And such LotR castings. Now you made me want to try Boromir, though I've always cast myself as Faramir, he's terribly close to my heart. Galadriel. My god, I wouldn't know where to start. I think you would be an amazing Galadriel. And I'd be absolutely fascinated ot play one half of the twin pair off of you. Oh, and Eowyn. I'd be Faramir to your Eowyn any damn day.

The Wilde casting is too amazingly flattering for words.

Elphaba! So would you, and I think you would do better, you have a better mind for her.

Iago. Oh, way to win my eternal affection, god I love Iago. He'd be hard to play, ( ... )

Ohh, but you'd get into his head so marvelously, though yes, he does seem to have a different kind of humour than you usually play. It'd be a good stretch, ne?

Yeah? I wouldn't have thought of myself for Famine, but he'd be interesting.

I have a writing fixation on Galadriel, I probably could. I have played Eowyn, she's a favourite ♥ and I would absolutely play the twins with you. (Actually, though, the characters I most covet playing are Erestor and Nienna).

Eeee. I do adore Elphie.

It would.
You realise you will now have to play with me, si? <<

Yes, you absolutely could. And Play. The. Twins. With. Me. ♥ Please. And Faramir/Eowyn. Someone make us a list.

She very much seems to have your feel, actually. I always loved that she was green, randomly.

Of course I realise this.

I will I will. I tend to write a stronger Elrohir, though it's been a while. And I can listify, if you like.

Hm. From a powerful family, loner, outcast, intellectual, impassioned belief in her own ideals, twisted to bitterness and cynicism later in life, longing for things she cannot have, knowingly entering an essentially doomed relationship, strained relation with her father (at best), major guilt complex... sound like anyone you know? XD

Good. It will be required. Wench.

I don't have any characterisation on the twins, but I can so totally improvise, I like Elladan's name better anyway, and please do listify. <6hearts; That way you can bring it out whenever we're like ehhhhh.

...yes, I know, right? XD she's more you than me.

Elphaba has a prideful streak that my characters don't, always. I think your take on her would emphasise different traits more, but I still maintain you'd do it well.

Ophelia, for you. Oh yes.

...You do know Ophelia. Ophelia from Hamlet. Come on, now.

acidpop25 August 2 2007, 20:58:57 UTC
I've not read Hamlet. I know, I fail. I know of her, but I don't know her story.

sandra_lanimil August 2 2007, 21:03:02 UTC
...gosh.

Well, from what I've seen of your Ro and your Luna, you'd ace her.

Oh. Well, that tells me a great deal, right there.

Since Sandman got mentioned, you'd be great as Titania. And Daniel; the new Dream.

Paul from The Fionavar Tapestry. Very much. Very.

I've only read one or two of them; those characters aren't ringing bells. I covet Death's role, personally.

Not one I know, unfortunately.
