Memeish thing from sandra_lanimil:

What are the ten first words you think of when you think of (my) [character]?
Any other associations? Anything- stories, music, colors, activities, time of year, whatever seems relevant.

Your choice of characters: Theodore, Tracey, Mercy.

Comments

Theo.

[sandra_lanimil]

cold, hidden, lonely, anger, brittle, quirky (as in humour), 1, sharp (various senses, among them inteligence), struggle, unhappy

The type might be in there because we were just talking about it, but that's how it goes. 'Cold' is partly the fic, which I rather love, and partly a characteristic.
Other associations; pale, knives, unspeakables (of course), Tracey, his daughters, heat (bright sunlight), writing - because you write a lot, more than any other player i know, working for the dom - missions together (the one with the skinrider is particularly vivid). winter, definitely.

i don't really do music association much to theo. i do with some characters, but he's not really one of them. i have a hard-to-shake pirates association, though. XD i knew orlando bloom before I knew Theo. XDD

ah, sorry, i'm cutting this a bit short because i'm working on my assignment. <3

Gosh, yes, you know him very very well. ♥ Odd to see his humour mentioned, though, as it's really a very minor part of his personality, generally. But anger, yes you've nailed it; I always feel like so few people get that about him, when it's such a driving force of his personality.

Tracey says she agrees with the 'sharp' association, because dear god is that boy bony, he's all pointy angles and do you have any idea how hard it is to find a comfortable position sharing a bed with him?

I'm curious about the heat/bright sunlight association, as that's one I markedly do not share. Do you know where that came from?

Snorf. Would you feel better about it if I used one of my alternate PBs? I could, if you'd like, since I'm kinda equally unhappy with all my options.

I think I mention his humour because it comes out with Blaise in quirky little ways rather often. Anger is very obvious; basic drive of his personality. It's one of Blaise's primary associations to him. Theo. Theo is angry. Rather bitter too, though arguably he hides that better. I might be cheating, seeing as I'm sharing my life with an sp 1w9 <3 I find them very easy to decipher, when a lot of other people tend to be baffled by the facades.

Yes, he is rather sharp in all kinds of ways. as for heat, I think it comes out of several occasions of putting them in very wrm places, and that seems to do something in particular to Theo's mood and manner.

Who are the alteratives? I don't mind, but it is a bit funny. Dark angry Theo >< prettyboy Orlando on a pirate ship.

also omgosh plane tickets! You know, Denmark has lots and lots of pastries.

With Blaise more than a lot of people, or maybe Blaise just identifies it better, since it's not easy to tell when Theo's joking; his sense of humour is so dry. Also tends to come out mostly with people he knows very well, though: Blaise, Tracey, Mercy, Draco, Daphne, Graham.

That anger is an association Blaise has as well isn't surprising; I've never played off any character who brings out Theo's temper the way Blaise does. Which is good for me, but less fun for Blaise, I expect.

I use John Mayer sometimes; he was my PB for my first Theo, in fact, which left Fay with a lingering partiality for the PB. Idk, I was using Orlando before PotC came out, but I've always kinda had issues with using him, as well. (That said, I stumbled on this shot the other day and rather loved it

[an_narctica]

midnight, one a.m., two a.m., three a.m., later.

[acidpop25]

Hm, your secondary associations resonate more to me than your first ten, though don't misunderstand, the first ten aren't wrong (except maybe that last one...)

patience/impatience is very true.
