I've been thinking...obsessing, really

[crashgirl82]

Here is some (possibly?)hopeful news for everyone who is like me, concerning the state of Petrellicest. Spoilers ahead.

dont give up hun :)

[crashgirl82]

I am THISCLOSE to giving up. I wrote some more of the sequel to "Courtroom Drama" and I read it over and I hate it. I even tried writing something else tonight with pen and paper. Nothing. Nathan's death has killed my muse. I have lots of plot bunnies and bits of dialogue but that's it. I don't have the flow, or the desire to follow through. It's just gone.

can i get a sneak at the sequel? i know youre probably just being too pessimistic about it. your writing is great. if nathan's death is affecting you, you can always go back to pretending 3x25 never happened...

heres a video to bring you some optimisim ... :)

[crashgirl82]

I never pretended 3x25 never happened. I can't. I'm a total canon!whore. But that vid made me smile, forrealsies. I love The All-American Rejects.

Nathan and Peter really have it bad for each other. I don't think we'll ever find two brothers who are more inappropriate and have more barely repressed sexual tension than the Petrelli boys. (Not that I'd even want to, probably, heh.)

I'll look over what I've written and send you some of it, it's very choppy. I hate it. rrr.

Here's a reason why I think Nathan (the real Nathan, not Sylar) might really come back.

I'm honestly shocked to hear that people think Nathan wouldn't be coming back. They're establishing the existence of souls by having Sylar haunt Matt, and I've never for one minute thought Heroes was meant to be a tragedy. Nathan's soul again finding a home, this time in Sylar's body, as the only kind of redemption Sylar could ever achieve seems purely inevitable to me.

[crashgirl82]

That's a good thought, but how could Nathan's "soul", as you're saying, be inside Sylar's body? That's not Matt's power. All Sylar has is Nathan's memories. Memories do not necessarily make a soul, right? But you're making me think of a story idea I had, if Nathan's "soul" were really inside Sylar's body and it happened to get pushed out, maybe if Sylar's "soul" took his body back--where might it go next? I need a pen and a piece of paper. :)

P.S. I didn't forget about your Peter fic. I've just had bad bad really bad writer's block lately.

That's a good thought, but how could Nathan's "soul", as you're saying, be inside Sylar's body? That's not Matt's power

Neither is seeing the future or seeing the dead -- but Matt has done both. I think they have been clearly setting up Matt's power (and all telepathic powers) to be much wider than just reading thoughts for a while. This even goes back to Peter's S1 finale communication with Charles, after Charles died. Telepathy is apparently linked to communing with the dead in their universe.

P.S. I didn't forget about your Peter fic. I've just had bad bad really bad writer's block lately.

No problem. I've sort of been very distracted myself. too many new ideas, while I was trying to finish up an old fic. I hope I'll be able to get around to your Peter/Future!Peter/Nathan soon.

[crashgirl82]

Yikes. I think I get you now. So what you're saying is that Sylar is the one who actually is dead? Like, Matt somehow caught Nathan's "soul" before it left the area and he put him in Sylar's body? Am I getting this right?

If so, then we're stuck with Nathan in Sylar's body forever? Not my favorite outcome. But...if Sylar really never "gets back in", and Nathan learns how to deal with his new body, then he really kind of would be Nathan, and then he'd be indestructible, and that would be okay, I guess. It's so frustrating, the not-knowing.

But isn't the premise of the show good vs. evil? No crazy Sylar vs. Peter action anymore? I don't know if I'd like that either.

There's no way AP will be out of a job, he's the golden boy of the show. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept us hanging that long into the season, though. They know how much he means to us. Remember all the "save Nathan Petrelli" campaigns that came up after the S02 cliffhanger? I think they're screwing with us on purpose at this point.

[crashgirl82]

I know about the "Save Nathan Petrelli" campaigns, but I only started watching Heroes a year ago, so I never had to sit through a hiatus before. I watched Season 1 and 2 in the span of two weeks, and I think I already knew Nathan was fine before I saw Nathan get shot at the end of season 2(But let me tell you, I gasped when I saw him take two to the chest). I also didn't care as much about Nathan then; I knew nothing about Petrellicest, it was just "wow, Nathan, it looked like you were gonna kiss Peter there, you're so happy he's okay." It wasn't until I started writing them that my affair w. Nathan started, and even then, I didn't know it, because after "Dual" I hated him for what he was doing. All of a sudden, when it was revealed that characters were going to die, I just realized that I loved Nathan and he was probably doomed

[moonmaiden34]

dude. if you write that fic i will love you forever and find a way to send you presents. or maybe just really good thoughts. [damn slow economy]

[crashgirl82]

It feels like an unabashed!porn kind of night. I'd love to write that fic, trust me. But I don't spend much time in Denial-Town.

That fic might involve me having to watch the scenes right before Nathan dies in 3x25 and I don't think I can watch it again. The second time around I still gasped and then I shut it off instantly.

If I write it, I demand nothing less than presents!

[ridley1013]

Great catch on the ring! That gives me hope!

(I still believe that Angela's got the real Nathan stashed in a secret lab somewhere with a team of scientists trying to revive him.)

I hear you on the writer's block. Mine is in full force right now. I get ideas but I just can't seem to actually write anything. Hope we both can get past it soon!
