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.

Re: Andy knows Captain America better than you

[(Anonymous)]

Andy only ever writes about Andy. Everything he's ever said or written about any character was in fact about him. It's not that his version of Steve sounds like him; it's that he inserts himself into Steve, just like he did with Neville, Seamus and everybody else in DAYD.

Another part I find very interesting is this:

I hope it’s not Stark, ‘cause he’d give that poor kid too much shit he don’t deserve

Remember how Andy was completely unable to grasp Snape's morally ambiguous character in HP? Looks like he's doing it again here with Tony. There was also another link posted where Andy quotes a friend arguing that Tony is a cynical Gryffindor, and I think it's telling that Andy doesn't explicitely say that he agrees with his friend. This may well have been when and how he started getting a better handle on this "morally ambiguous" concept.

Is it a coincidence that it's also about the same time when he changed his own story from "I never did anything wrong!" to "Yes, I did bad things, but I always meant well"?
