A meme from Veronica:

1. People comment with the names of their characters.
2. Others reply to those comments with the names of characters of theirs who have threaded with them.
3. The first person goes back, and replies with at least one thing they enjoy about the thread(s) they've had with those characters.

Not having to deal is win! X is--too analytically oriented not to try to figure things out. I think that's why she is always so big on understanding, and asking questions, and trying to get people to explain. It's something she needs to do in order to feel comfortable. Having a brain like a computer is a disadvantage when it comes to dealing with people. Especially people like Rose. But I think she makes a go of it, and she's starting to get how this whole teenager thing works. Even if it is incredibly inefficient and awkward. *solemn*

X is her Alain. Everyone moody and passionate and disinclined to self-analysis needs a friend who watches everything all the time and can think through a brick wall and only talks when it's important.

(Emmy is Cuthbert, natch.)

*CRACKS UP*

OH MY GOD. *cough*

That is pretty damn hilarious.

*eyes X and Wolverine, and replaces Cuthbert with Logan in DT*

*for shits and giggles*

Randomly, I think another thing I like about X--that makes her interesting, is she has this bizarre purity of purpose. For all her uncertainty about EVERYTHING ELSE, she knows what she's for. Esther and I talked once about what a picture (painted by Joshua from Dark Angel, he does abstracts and one is of 494) of her would look like. It's a white canvas with one stripe of brilliant bright blue. Her focus is much less spread out than Susannah's or Rose's,I think. I find that interesting.

[mm-gao.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Although the gunslingers are quite prone to monofocus, in the right circumstances, and I think Susannah's situation is deceptive, because she has her bright tower now. Everything else is just... static, and easily cast aside if something threatens what really matters.

Rose is legitimately very complicated and very confused.

[varadia]

*nods*

But with the Susannah thing--X does not get mental static. She's not capable of it. Yet. Maybe one day.

Rose's life is hard.

(Cutting back to earlier, I still REALLY love the whole Yuna-Ed sending on thing. That was the best way for him to go that I could ever have imagined. Rock.)

[mm-gao.livejournal.com]

*nod* The thing about Susannah is that there are things she wishes were true about herself, and even pretends are true about herself, that pretty much are not. At least she has not tried to teach this to X?




...and per our other thread of discussion, she has taught it to Rose accidentally. High-five myself for consistency.

[varadia]

GO YOU. *cheerleads consistency*

*pats*

Yeah. I try to imagine X learning to compartmentalize and--it ain't gonna happen. She is always the weapon. Sometimes she can be Laura, too, but--the weapon part isn't going anywhere.

I kind of like that, too.

Also, I missed the edit about Ed. Just mentioning that thread has got me re-reading all of Yuna's stuff! Good times. And excellent boot camp for future indignities of writing a seventeen year old girl. *wry*

[varadia]

Whee Yuna.

Also, heh. At least you were prepared! Ish.

[genarti]

*chokes*

Oh my god that is PRICELESS and I will be giggling over this one for a good while now.

Particularly because, at least looking on from my outside perspective, you are not wrong.
