burnwithus | state of the pups;

GENERAL: Finals are coming up soon and school along with some health/other problems are kind of kicking my ass. I'll try to be around as much as possible, though!

KATNISS EVERDEEN:

Without a doubt my strongest pup, probably the strongest I've had in a while. Mostly because Suzanne Collins' style is so unique that it's fun to try to emulate. But even so, I still have my doubts and I still second-guess every tag I send out. Maybe because so many people have read/are reading THG lately. My biggest concern is that, well...she's not crazy/cold enough. It's so very hard to have her be silent and standoffish in threads because I want to give the other person something to respond to, and having two paragraphs of pure introspection (the way it is in the books) doesn't seem fair. So sometimes I make her talk a little more than she would. I'm also hesitate to write really emotionally-charged threads with people because I"m worried about unloading on them without asking. But Katniss is a wreck, no matter how the outside might look. I just need to find more ways to show that she's not okay. She might not be as bad as she was at the end of canon (not trying to kill herself via morphine overdose and being imprisoned for days is a start), but she's still pretty bad. IDK I'm just perpetually self-conscious about her.

I'd love for her to actually get to the point where she trusts someone enough to really tell them everything, but that's an unspecific plot with no timeframe. Also does anyone have any arrows? Hunting again would put her in a better mood.

Thread requests: Peeta Mellark (always and forever), I really enjoy her interactions with Lucy Carrigan and Jason Todd, so ditto to them as well. Columbus Ohio is always a good laugh. Teddy Altman. Coraline (so she can be reminded of Prim). Sawyer. More teenagers. In general, Katniss tends to hang around/get along better with boys, but I've always wanted her to have a female role-model type. Riza Hawkeye? GIVE ME ANYONE /grabbyhands. Especially your mentally scarred or bubbly bouncy happy nice people!

ANNABETH CHASE:

Settled. Annabeth is a comfortable character, one that I feel that I've more or less got down - since I've played her longer and she doesn't require any specific prose, I feel as though I can play her at any time. But she had a lot going on last month - and her budding relationship with Percy is something I'd love to see more of. In general, I'd like to get her into some more tangible plots: for now I've had her working on her blueprints and exploring the island. Beyond that, I'm not sure what to do. But meeting new people is definitely on the table! Especially teenagers with similar interests.

The PJO cast and Luke need to have a talk soon, maybe? Or more of a showdown.

Thread Requests: Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, Luke Castellan, Billy Kaplan, Claire Bennet, nerdy teenagers (x1000).

ANGEL:

I need a rewatch. The problem with Angel on the island is that he needs people to save. He really relies on it to give him a purpose. And I'm generally pretty skittish about approaching people for threads (something I really need to improve on) so this part of his development has been really stunted. He's reclusive, which makes it harder to throw him into social situations because although he's not anti-social normally, he's not exactly adept at it either. And with the recent transformation to Angelus during Halloween plot, he's retreated into the jungle. Because he's not safe for people to be around.

...So that's going to make things difficult. But I'm thinking of having an EP for anyone who's pups would feasibly be that far into the jungle? Hopefully that works out.

Thread requests: Buffy Summers (Always and forever), Sookie Stackhouse, Spike, Mitchell, all vampires/supernatural-savvy people, young people that need a mentor, people that need saving.

THE FUTURE:

I'm thinking Peter Petrelli (from Heroes), once I get all my reqs for November done. But I'm also pretty intrigued about the idea of apping Neal Caffrey (from White Collar) because I have a die-hard love for smartasses. All my pups are so very antisocial, so I want someone friendly to counter that, but it seems like I"m just attracted to that kind of character. It would be interesting to play someone sweet and happy though. Possibly an adult woman because I'm too drawn to teenagers and need to expand. Possibilities include Angela Montenegro (Bones), Max Guevara (Dark Angel), and Sun Kwon (Lost). But nothing's for certain.

Katniss can have Buffy? Re: the role model thing, that is, I... weirdly am beginning to think they could get along well.

ALSO IF YOU APP NEAL I WILL DIE

IN A REALLY GOOD WAY

And you're always welcome to ask me for threads. It took me seriously a year to get to the point where I'm comfortable enough to be like WE SHOULD THREAD THIS Y/N I'LL PUT SOMETHING UP. It takes time, but you'll get there. Hopefully sooner than I did.

Oh my god. KATNISS AND BUFFY YES PLEASE. AAAH. Finally, strong female role model! But Buffy might have to roll her eyes at Katniss' sullenness, though :(. They could bicker! It would be hilarious. And joint archery! AAA

HAHAAHA IDK I THINK I'VE SEEN HIM ON POTF? ALSO HE'S REALLY, REALLY SMART. But I love him so much! Him and Bryce would just be salkjdksaj

UH DUH. You ho, I will ALWAYS ask you for threads. You're my thread whore.

AWESOME I AM EXCITED. It can be, like, the one positive thing going on in Buffy's life while everything else is DRAMA. And Buffy has some arrows; a few good ones and then a stash of poorly constructed ones because she can't carve anything that isn't stake-shaped for shit.

As long as he's not listed anywhere on the wiki, I think you're safe? The only guarantee is a reserve, anyway, and upon further review, I agree re: you needed a happier character. Or even just one who has yet to live through an apocalypse, idk.

btich

Hahah Katniss tried to make arrows but she isn't a ~~mastuh like her dad so they failed. They can experiment! Lmfao although I'm not sure if Buffy has enough patience to put up with her.

WOW I JUST NOTICED THAT. All of my characters have had an ~~~end of the world experience. JESUS. Maybe Peter, then Neal 8DD

way to spell bitch wrong. ಠ_ಠ

You are welcome to Coraline anytime. I'm just sorry she won't be in a cheerier mood for her.

And I want Angelcakes for Delirium mostly so he can probably just wtf at her. Del lives in a perpetual state at people wtfing at her. It's so fun.

Oh dude, that's totally fine. Coraline is just epic no matter what mood she's in (and if she's in a bad mood it just ramps up the angst) Katniss is probably going to like...look out for her in the way that she did with Rue and Prim if you've read the books :)

YES. Angel will definitely WTF at her, but he'll be ~~~~concerned too, because that's what he does.

Cissie has a quiver full of arrows left over from her item and though I've been failing at actually doing something about it IG, she's going to be trying to make some, as a sort of ~just in case~ type deal.

(This is also totally the wrong lj for her, but shhh.)

Are you thinking what I'm thinking:

ARCHERY CONTEST. Katniss has been trying to make some too, but they're not that great. They can compare designs or something.

YES, OMG.

That would be perfect and awesome and I love it.

We'll definitely need to do another "State of the PJO pups" set of e-mails. I know from Tim where Luke's story goes, but I'm not sure where and when it will climax. As for Percy-Annabeth threads, I'm game. E-mail me, and we can set up something where Percy finally gets up the courage to ask Annabeth out on a date.

For extra awesomeness, he might try to get dating advice from Jack Harkness. We'll see how that goes.
