the same big and little words [all spelling out desire]

RPG-wise; I have a habit of casting myself into the stereotype of the Antihero, the Morally Ambigious & Tomented Loner - the character who does evil deeds, and is forgiven by the audience because he (mostly he) is acting out of a ruined, painful background and is generally aware of his transgressions ( Read more... )

4 ftw, reflections, mirrors me, casting call, post of utter win, questionmark

Lestat de Lioncourt, oh yes. I'm waiting for that day. Though Louis would be a better fit, fishywise.

... Hamlet. I'm sorry, I had to.

I'm perfectly sure almost every anti-hero in the books you've read in your youth would fit you like a glove.

A handful of demons. I'm tempted to say Satan, but no. Perhaps a young version, but not the final version, the way we view him.

Any vigilante, seriously. Long as they're tortured souls, it'll work. XD

You'll have to give me more time for actual names, am busy packing, but to end this on a slightly cracky note; Batman, but only if played by Christian Bale.

Oh, ha. I'd have fun with Lestat, but I'd get more into Louis. He suffers more. 4 ftw. Come to that, though, you'd do a good Louis.

Hamlet, oh, I'd LOVE to. Gosh.

Not the Morningstar. I do rather enjoy demons and fallen angels, but I would feel too constricted by Himself. Besides, noone does him like Blackie. I play two of his sons, and frolic in the angst.

BATMAN XDDDDDDDD just for that, I am tempted to try. lmfao. that takes the prize for most unexpected. You'd be cool as ...Rachel? What's her name, the reporter.

Roiben, oh, Roiben. That's almost too easy. So much love.

"Suffers more than he deserves". We keep that as theme line, now. XD

IKNOWRIGHT, I was thinking Shakespeare and one has to appreciate the Danish background. Giggles.

Still searching, nrr nrr nrr.

Antiheros are, in fact, some of the best characters to play.

I'd love to see you as a young Tom Riddle, back in his school days or early twenties. And, with the new canon, I could you you doing a really interesting take on Gellert Grindelwald.

Crowley. Please. Alternatively, War or Famine. On a tangential note, Susan Sto Helit or Lord Vetinari from the Discworld series.

LOTR, Boromir or Galadriel. No one plays tempation quite like you. Melkor or Maeglin from the Silmarillion. I could see you as a Thranduil, also; you play the right sort of pride.

Dorian Gray, from Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. I can't think of anyone better to play him.

Elphaba in Wicked, or maybe even Nessarose.

This comment is getting rather long.

Oh, oh, you're suited to a lot of Shakespeare characters, too. Edmund in King Lear, Iago in Othello, Brutus in Julius Caesar.

First of all, hank you. I am so flattered.

Young Riddle and Grindelwald I'd love to try, especially Grindelwald. The image of him laughing in the window sill refuses to leave my head. I think he's more jester than I usually do, but still. Still.

Ohgod, Crowley. He's hard to do. But oh. War and Famine would be fun. You'd do a killer (<<) Famine as well.

Noone plays temptation quite like you. kdjsf I am having this framed and put on my wall. And such LotR castings. Now you made me want to try Boromir, though I've always cast myself as Faramir, he's terribly close to my heart. Galadriel. My god, I wouldn't know where to start. I think you would be an amazing Galadriel. And I'd be absolutely fascinated ot play one half of the twin pair off of you. Oh, and Eowyn. I'd be Faramir to your Eowyn any damn day.

The Wilde casting is too amazingly flattering for words.

Elphaba! So would you, and I think you would do better, you have a better mind for her.

Iago. Oh, way to win my eternal affection, god I love Iago. He'd be hard to play, ( ... )

Ohh, but you'd get into his head so marvelously, though yes, he does seem to have a different kind of humour than you usually play. It'd be a good stretch, ne?

Yeah? I wouldn't have thought of myself for Famine, but he'd be interesting.

I have a writing fixation on Galadriel, I probably could. I have played Eowyn, she's a favourite ♥ and I would absolutely play the twins with you. (Actually, though, the characters I most covet playing are Erestor and Nienna).

Eeee. I do adore Elphie.

Oh. Dream, you know, one of the seven Endless? He would be neat.

Still searching, and still packing. Multitask ftw.

A noble, tragic hero, who is occasionally insensitive, often self-obsessed, and very slow to forgive or forget? And who looks like a tall young man with pale skin, and black hair, and two distant stars for eyes?

Oh yes, she would. She would.

Merv (Pumpkinhead) has this quote, I had to look it up, but... just read it;

He's gotta be the tragic figure standing out in the rain, mournin' the loss of his beloved.

I wanted to say Faith. Then realized we already crossed that cliché. Oh dear.

I was looking for more characters, coming across a few interesting notes in my files; Conflicting emotions, bipolar tendencies, or moodiness. Self-critical and introspective. Suffers more than he deserves. Arouses fear and empathy. A distaste for social institutions and social norms. A troubled past. Being cynical, demanding, and/or arrogant... compassionate, oddly. Often self-destructive.

My, I wonder who my mind lingered on THAT day.

Off to take nap now, head is killing me.

I think you'd be a great Anne. But not online. You'd do much, much better in live action, I can see it vividly.

she's quite close to my stereotype. And you'd be an excellent...what's his sister's name. She's right on for you. Except, dead.

... Rather. XD And oui oui, you mean Margaret. I think you said something on her being my type of character before. *transparent*

I said so, yes. It kind of struck me immediately. Your type of women is easily recogniseable.
