bessemerprocess, a meme:
Name me a character [ed. or multiple characters if you like] and I will tell you:
- How I FEEEEEL about this character.
- All the people I ship romantically with this character.
- My favorite gen relationship with this character.
- My unpopular opinion about this character.
- One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon.
Canons: Babylon 5, Body of Proof, BSG, Caroline in the City, Castle, Corner Gas, Crusade, Cupid, certain eras of Doctor Who, due South, Earth 2, Farscape, Firefly, Forever Knight, Fringe, Futurama, The Middleman, Moonlighting, Northern Exposure, Pushing Daisies, The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, SG-1, SGA, Slings & Arrows, Spaced, DS9, Voyager, The Invisible Man, Warehouse 13, Wonderfalls, and The X-Files. You can also try Tolkien and Bujold, but I don't promise to remember every character from them.
And now, back to this fic I'm writing, where Megan is currently terrorizing (more) hospital staff. Sam and Bud are trying to make her move on to the next scene, but she's not having it.

Date: 2011-04-24 11:18 pm (UTC)I haven't quite gotten on board with Megan/Peter because Peter is still pretty undefined, you know? I'm waiting for him to get a real personality of his own aside from being Megan's social crutch before I can decide if this relationship would be mutually beneficial or not. :)
Heh. He is a little undefined at the moment. (Although everyone but Megan is, really.) I guess I'm okay with that for now because we do at least get a very clear portrait of how he interacts with Megan, to the point where writing dialogue for them in the fic I just finished was basically like taking dictation, and that particular style of interaction is basically LIKE CRACK to me. Plus he has a habit of kind of gazing at her adoringly when she's being brilliant, though it may just be that he thinks she's smart, IDK. I can fanwank motivation and background if the basic materials are there, I guess is what I'm saying, so that's why I've latched on to them like a very latchy thing. ;) Although knowing whether the relationship would be beneficial to him as well would be an excellent thing.
it seems like such a good reflection of her character - she's kind of clueless about her surroundings. She's doing things HER perfectionist way and she's not about to let reality crimp her style.
HA! Okay, I can see that. on the other hand, she's a scientist--surely by now she's realized that the evidence of difficulty walking and painful feet
and getting laughed at behind her back by everyone, I mean COME ONall point to more sensible footwear?no subject

For what it's worth, if you wear crazy ridiculous heels all the time, you get used to them and it's actually painful NOT to wear them because your tendons shorten or whatever. I had a coworker who was really tiny and wears high heels literally from the moment she gets out of bed in the morning, and she can't even walk barefoot anymore!

I think your scenario about Kate taking Megan shoe shopping and Peter despairing of it all needs to happen on the show. For real. Peter, Sam, and Bud can just kind of sit back and laugh a lot.

I have heard that, and it's just so disturbing that they very idea leaves me going D: D: D: OMG.
