continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

Sherlock or Hannibal

I feel like these lack the critical hooks of young people suffering, magic, supernatural beings, war/soldiers, and the potential for greater world building.

AYRT

Now you're just making me think the Dragon Age thing is true ;_;. Because it has all those things in spades.

Though again... I don't think he could hide long in it. Also, it would require he play computer games, and though I have no evidence for this, I feel like that would be rough for him. There would be the possibility of losing.

Yeah, the only thing that makes me hesitate to say DA is what was pointed out above about there being too many possible "canons". He wouldn't be able to be the ultimate arbiter and pull the "mine is even truer than JKR's/Tolkien's, I know the ~real story~" act with DA because everyone can create their own canon.

And a lot of the characters I would imagine him projecting on actually don't work because of their non-heterosexuality -- Zevran and Iron Bull, and mayyyyybe Fenris, seem closest to his "type", but they aren't nearly straight enough, and furthermore Fenris has the anti-mage thing that, if he went the lazy "mage oppression = [ISM OF YOUR CHOICE]" route, which of course he would, makes him ~problematic~. I could maybe see him latching onto Cullen, being the soldier who began his training in childhood and has dark past trauma, but he's not sexual enough in general. Blackwall could go either way -- I could see Andy either taking the same approach to him as he did Snape, and making him into some kind of cartoonish cowardly sneering villain, but I could also see him latching like crazy onto his arc as a way of selling his own "redemption" story. Interestingly, Cassandra might actually be closest to his type, but that would require him to take a female character seriously for more than thirty seconds.

...oh god, Varric. He's not physically Andy's type at all, but oh god, the snarky storyteller with the fucked-up family issues who secretly and subtly protects his little clique in Kirkwall and makes a lousy spymaster because he ~cares too much about his people~? Oh, god, no. Oh god, Andy, keep your grubby little paws off of the dwarf.

DA officially means too many things!

Anything's possible, but they don't seem like the kind of canons/characters Andy is drawn to at all.

What about Game of Thrones? Black Sails?

He's written a little about GoT and reblogged some things, but nothing more than that. I don't think I've ever seen him mention Black Sails.

Oh god, I sorta know one of the actors in Black Sails personally. That would be creepy on a whole new level.

It also doesn't seem to be a nearly big enough fandom for him if he wants to be able to disappear into it right now.
