I am an angel of the Lord. B|
Strange ongoings are going on.
I picked up a Castiel RP muse--Friday night, I think. Mainly because mind_the_tardis was futzing about on dear_multiverse with her Master/Lucy metacrisis, and I felt like doing the whole I SHALL TAG YOU WITH A MUSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW I HAD thing. (Didn't keep it up for long, but that's another matter.)
Anyway, the thing is, I'm, um, discovering that I really like this muse. I gave him a background that basically turns him into a lost, confused nutter who has a few left-over psychic powers and is stumbling about asking people if they've seen God, and who Doesn't Get It. (No matter what "it" is. If it's not about his looking for God, you can bet that Castiel won't get it. Worst one-track-mind ever.)
I even changed my wallpaper from this to this. HE'S REPLACED TEN ON MY DESKTOP. I KNOW I'M IN TROUBLE.
Thing is, he's exactly the same as my human!Ten muse. A little more oblivious, and a lot more religious, which means developing him to the point where he'll accept that his looking for God is completely futile will take a lot of work. But aside from that? They could be the same person. Castiel even has a tendency to get wasted when he's down. Why are all my muses borderline alcoholics?
And he's already getting friendly with human!Master. This can't end well.
I find it's actually very interesting to play a religious muse. There's nothing quite like destroying a muse's faith, whatever that might be. With the Doctor, it was his faith in complete equality and independence of the mind. With Castiel, it's easier. I just have to get him to the point where he realizes that he'll never find God. It's also harder, though, because it's religion. It's blind faith. It's not based on anything rational. You can't really undermine that kind of faith. All you can do is wear it out.
Oh, and he really, really needs to get laid. Pfft, four billion year old virgin.
I just have to watch myself. I do not want to end up in SPN fandom. If I ever write fic for this muse, I will keep it to my muse journal, and this journal, maybe. I know maybe two people in SPN fandom, and one of them I know would disown me for playing Castiel. (And having killed Dean and Sam off in his backstory. >_> Oops?) I don't want to get sucked into that wanky pit of snakes fandom.
ANYWAY. I know I owe people fic, and I will write it. I suck so much, I didn't even manage to write my parents the email that I owe them. My excuse is that I spent Saturday on the Isle of Wight, getting soaked. Oh, and filming ghosts. But mostly getting soaked. SO MUCH RAIN OMG. We're probably going to go back next Saturday to get some more shots. We're supposed to have a rough cut of this project by Dec 11. So much for no more deadlines until Christmas. >_>
I would be really okay with it being Dec 21st now. There's Stuff going on, and it's been going on for a while, and most people on the f-list probably know what I'm talking about and all my being cryptic is totally pointless, but the Stuff can't get properly figured out until the 21st, and I've been waiting for LIKE TWO MONTHS for it to be the 21st. So, 21st now. Please. (And ahaha what, cryptic paragraph is cryptic. I'm sorry. It's Good Stuff, so don't worry. But I don't want to talk about it on here yet SO HOW ABOUT I JUST DON'T AND SHUT UP NOW JEEZ WOMAN IT'S NOT THAT HARD.)
There were more things I wanted to talk about. What was it? Christmas is coming up and I totally don't really have the money to buy anybody any presents. I really hate this part about Christmas, this "here is a list of people you need to give presents to" thing. I would totally and honestly go with not getting any presents at all if it meant I wouldn't have to give people stuff. Not because I'm a cheapskate, but because I always flail and don't know what to get. And it keeps you from giving people stuff during the rest of the year. I like giving people stuff, but with the year having Designated Present Giving Days, you can never just give people stuff whenever you feel like it. It's mid-June and you've got this awesome idea, but nope, you gotta wait until Christmas, by which time the awesome idea doesn't seem so awesome anymore, or the product's out of stock, or whatever. If you even remember what it was you thought of.
Other than that, I like Christmas, though. I'm not a Christmas hater. I just don't like the presents part.
OH RIGHT I WATCHED THE X-MEN MOVIES! They're horrible. The first one put me to sleep; it had the worst fight choreography ever. The second one had plot holes through which you could have flown a whole armada of spaceships, and the third one--idk, actually, I think I liked the third one best. Which probably makes me the only person on the planet who liked the third one best, but idk. It had the most perks. It was still horrible.
Seriously, I don't even remember anything about the first movie. Except that I was TERRIBLY HORRIBLY SQUICKED by the Logan/Rogue vibes. NO NO NO DNW. She was basically a kid, and he's, what, 500 years old? Not quite, but you get what I'm saying. I know this is silly, because I ship incest (Jimmy Logan/Victor Creed from the Origins movie) and Doctor/Donna with an age difference of about a millennium, but when they started pushing that kid on this old dude I was just like no. No. Stop with the creepy child molesting on my screen, dammit.
But Hugh Jackman took his shirt off a lot. That was nice.
All the second movie did, I think, was make me hate Xavier more. Ugh, that character. Such a self-righteous holier-than-thou hypocrite. And he let Telepathy!Woman kill herself at the end, which just didn't make sense at the time, but actually makes me want to hit him more now. Oh look, she's more powerful than me. Quick, I shall brainwash her into thinking she's evil and then set her up to kill herself! Because I'm just such a great guy like that.
Which brings me to the third movie. XAVIER GOT EXPLODED. Hells yeah. I'd've preferred him to die in a fire, but I'll take what I can get. Logan/Telepathy!Woman never made sense to me, but hey, stereotypical plot arc is stereotypical. Whatever. I loved what she turned into--Phoenix--because hey, I'd lose it and want to kill everyone if I were surrounded by people who were either self-righteous hypocrites, or just plain and simply dumb. (Seriously, Magneto. You knew they were using the cure as a weapon, and you knew they were building plastic guns. IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER. I choose to believe that his grief about Charles' death kept him from thinking straight, because seriously, this is stupidity on the level of early Delgado!Master.) I managed to keep liking Logan, because he kept eyerolling at the X-Men and Xavier, but I thought he was an idiot for sticking around at the end. But I guess it beats being on your own and on the run in the Northwest Territories.
Anyway, yeah. Not the best comic adaptions I've ever seen. I do still love the Wolverine movie, though. It has the dumb my-girlfriend-got-killed-so-I-need-to-go-on-a-murder-spree plot point, but it also has the awesomeness that is Logan/Creed, and the plot point kind of works because it's Logan. He'd do something as idiotic as that. Also, you know. Logan/Creed. 'nuff said. (Oh, Sabertooth in the X-Men movies? Is not Victor Creed. Not in my universe. Victor is way more awesome than that. And more evil.)
I also watched Quantum of Solace, which was alright. Daniel Craig's Bond is a dick, but I think that's true to the character. I want more gadgets, though. Pierce Brosnan always had all those shiny gadgets. Invisible car! Daniel Craig's Bond needs an invisible car.
AND NOW I WILL STOP TALKING AND GO TO BED. I don't know where all of that came from. I was really just gonna talk about my Cas muse. Oh, well. How is everyone?
