I'm Ruth, and I play:

Karen Brockman | Outnumbered | goingtodorking
Charlie Bartlett | Charlie Bartlett | teenagerenegade
Raylan Givens | Justified | angriestman
Columbus Ohio | Zombieland | 1struleiscardio
Martha Costello | Silk | 246th
Tunny Clarke | American Idiot | rage_andlove
Mal Reynolds | Firefly/Serenity | mademighty
Craig Gilner | It's Kind of a Funny Story | makemaps

And, reserved for P1:

James "Jimmy" Darmody | Boardwalk Empire | tothelost

[ringwinner]

Of course I would app Laurence. I would move mountains for a Granby. (And do you think I'd pass up the chance to finally have two of our characters snog?)

[eudaimon]

Because they WOULD snog. There'd be so much snogging.

[ringwinner]

Yes. So much. They'd have to make up for all the times that they weren't snogging in the books.

Is there any aspect of Charlie's past life that she misses enough to bring to the island in some capacity? (Be it people, abilities, job, anything.)

What would you say is the most rewarding part of getting to play someone as young as Karen?

While I know that Martha's not had her baby for long, would you say that there are major differences in what motherhood has done for Charlie and Martha?

What kind of plots would you most like to pursue for Craig?

[eudaimon]

She does miss the eidetic memory. She misses feeling smart. Other than that, she doesn't really miss Midland at all. Her life was so small there. And everything is different.

God, Karen is both exhausting and fabulous. I guess the most rewarding thing is getting to play someone who's just figuring the world out. She's got a very unique outlook on the world, and I really love playing that.

With Martha, it's a slow opening of her heart that's happening. Charlie never really needed that. For Charlie, Cadi's just the perfect example of how much she loves Ianto. They're a family. With Martha, it's letting herself really love anything at all except her job.

Hmm. With Craig, it's just him figuring out how to be more himself. Which is a process that he's going through at the end of the movie. He's a very talented artist, but he's been ignoring that, so, getting the hang of that, being a teenager, dating, getting high, that kind of thing. Just figuring himself out, really. Figuring out who he wants to be.

Is there something in particular that draws you to young male characters, like a common thread through these boys, or is it sheer coincidence that they crop up so often - if, clearly, so very differently - in your roster?

How intimidating is it to play Mal? XD

[eudaimon]

I have tried to address this in my own playing habits. Clearly, I have a propensity towards late teens/early twenty something males. Jimmy is no exception. I...honestly couldn't tell you, except that the tropes that I am drawn to are wandering hearts (of one kind or another) and a need for redemption and...generally...those tropes tend to find their home in young male protagonists. I am a sucker for a boy with a restless soul.

It is SO intimidating to play Mal. I constantly worry about getting him wrong and somehow letting someone down.

[austen]

What it would it take for Columbus to actually pop the question, or has he already considered doing so?

How is Mal coping with the knowledge that a version of him has already had a life on the island?

What does Craig think of the guy who shares his face?

[eudaimon]

I think either he would have to be absolutely certain she was going to say yes, or something would have to happen to force his hand. I'm pretty sure surviving something terrible or having to go back to Zombieland (homeplot? :b) would do it. I know that he can take most things, but he can't bear the thought of being rejected by her.

Mal doesn't think about it, over much. He's a little guilty about what he can't give river, but, other than that, he figures it's probably not the strangest thing to happen to happen this year.

Craig...tries not to have an opinion on Moosh. He thinks it's safer that way.

[sluttylyingliar]

Think we'll ever get these moppets hitched to each other?

[eudaimon]

I think Raylan would gt married if he got a clue that it was what Rachel genuinely wanted.

[lt_blade]

If you could bring back any of your old pups without worry of 'fading' or 'burn out', which would you bring?

If memory serves-Charlie and Karen are the pups you've had the longest. I'm curious as to know how their voices have remained so strong over the years, compared to the rest of your list.

[eudaimon]

I would bring back Eostre, Chris Pratt, Brad Colbert and Eden Sinclair.

Memory and the order I post my roster in would suggest so, yes. I've been playing Charlie since 2006 and Karen since...hmm...a little after that. Maybe a year less. They remain strong because they're not high stress pups - they maintain themselves - and because I fell in love with them both instantly. There was never ever negotiation in my head about either of them.

[lt_blade]

I'd love the chance to tag Eostre if you ever decided to bring her back (it could happen). She was one of those (many) pups that I'd have loved to tag with-not even sure why exactly, just had to.

..I heard through the grape vine that you'd like to app Peter Pan if you could?

[eudaimon]

It's never going to happen.

And, yeah, I mentioned somewhere in another answer on this meme that I'd app Peter. Based on the new 'Neverland' prequel. But i play enough teenaged boys.
