State of the things

It has been one hell of a week, my lovelies.  In some kind of effort to put way more hands-on work into character research than any author ever should, I somehow managed to scratch the hell out of my cornea last week while taking out my contacts, and couldn't look at a computer screen for more than a couple of minutes for three days. I don't even ( Read more... )

See, a rock salt slushie would at least be a story. I managed to jab myself in the eye taking out my contact lenses. I don't even know.

On to the bit! You would ask me the hard questions, wouldn't you.

So, I've been putting off putting too much characterization into Cooper in this story but I do know a few things. He's the favored son of a man known for beating his dogs and his horses and his servants and his wife, and, of course, his younger, less-favored son. Cooper walks some very thin lines.

Right now he's sitting here cursing Blaine in his head, because Blaine should know better. Cooper has spent all morning trying to subtly steer things into everybody getting along, because they need this alliance, and now he's going to have to spend all afternoon making sure his dad doesn't redirect his anger at Blaine into getting hostile with the barbarians. Blaine clearly likes ticking their father off, or he wouldn't do things like this ( ... )

I'd like to know more about Puck's story in Dragons. How did he end up joining Burt's clan? Was he an outlander or a barbarian before?

A COUPLE OF MINOR CHARACTER SPOILERS IN THIS ONE narceus March 25 2012, 15:54:37 UTC
Oh, I like this one. Puck's story is fun.

Puck is Anderian, actually. He's from the same small town as Quinn. She was the mayor's daughter, he was some kind of layabout and occasional guardsman, with a rusty sword and some small coin in his pocket and the ear of the local tavern wenches. Half the boys in town were in love with her, so of course Puck was no exception.

You can guess where it went from there. A little too much ale, a convenient hay loft, and four or five months later the mayor is throwing Quinn out on her ass. It took Puck about a week of staying very drunk the whole time to decide to go after her. Took him a while longer to find her, but luckily he was never completely incompetent.

The tribe got it, of course, why some boy from Quinn's town would come after her like that, but nobody really made a big deal out of it when they kept separate tents and stepped awkwardly around each other. Beth was born, and passed off to one of the wet nurses, the mothers and nannies who'd rather mind the collective horde of ( ... )

Ouch, I hope you will get better >.<

To aanswer your little meme, I don't remember seeing any Sebastian or Karofsky mention in Dragons and was wondering if they will appear ?

Luckily, it all seems healed without the need for extensive surgery and heart-shaped eyepatches :)

I've been calling Dragons an, 'everybody is included!' AU, and I pretty much mean it; I mean, I just wrote in cameos for Josh Groban and Olivia Newton-John, so. There is definitely the intention to include both Karofsky and Sebastian. Where they'll come up, and how much screen time they'll have, I haven't entirely decided yet.

I do know that Karofsky used to be a member of Kurt's tribe, and was one of his more ardent suitors. After Kurt finally put a very firm end to that, he transferred over to another tribe ( ... )

THank you ! :D I'm always excited to see Kurt and Karofsky's interactions in AU ! And I'm double-y excited to see Seabastian AU's version. :D

And now well... I'm very very curious about Artie. Does he walk in this universe ? I strangely imagine him in a "horse-car" but being tracted by a Shetland pony (I just love them so much, please don't judge me :( ) or riding a Shetland when he's in the camp but still having a big horse when they are travelling or something. Yes I have a ridiculous headcannon about your Artie :D

Dragon questions (duh) jakia March 25 2012, 17:12:57 UTC
Burt's impression of Blaine before knowing Kurt wants to marry him, and after.

(if that doesn't work, then tell me a little bit about Blaine's mama, the Queen.)

Mmm. Good one.

Burt didn't have much of an impression of Blaine before Kurt proposed marriage, really. He was some outlander prince. Probably better than his father and brother, since Kurt seems to like him so much, but not really on Burt's radar.

And then Kurt comes out with this crazy marriage plan, and Burt is regretting this oversight a lot. He trusts Kurt's judgment, so this kid is obviously a good guy, and he makes Kurt happy, so Burt is prepared to like him, but right now he seems like a short-term means to an end that is going to end in long-term headaches. Burt is pretty sure about that ( ... )
