the thing is that i do genuinely and sincerely believe that kit herondale has theodore laurence syndrome in the sense that he wants to insert himself into the blackthorn family so bad he would have thrown himself at whichever one he thought he had the best chance with. sorry for saying that about laurie i know there’s nuance i’m just joking around. like luckily for kit it worked out with ty (well) but if things had been different he would have been out there dancing with dru at balls and proposing to livvy at jules’s wedding etc. well actually in many ways ty is his jo but i won’t really delve into that because i am NOT a jolaurie supporter (i think jo march is a lesbian). but in many ways the scene at lake lynn is laurie’s proposal to jo. i’m just saying things. me when i’m having my thinking about my character time before bed!!
@obstlich right?! Like I guess in a way it’s not that impressive to be crazy over blorbo from your acting job when the writing is so good. Takes a true artist to develop a mental illness about your character when the writing is like….that
Xander is Joss’s insert or mouthpiece - 'If I have to look at Xander for one more minute I will explode. Yes I know he’s a main character. Yes I know that he’s probably in every episode of every season. I am in Hell.'
#WHYYYYY DOES HE GET SO MUCH SCREENTIME???#if there is one thing I'd bet my life on it's that xander is a self-insert for the person who made this show. idk who that was but I can -#tell they're infusing themselves in the narrative through him#anyways he's definitely a self-insert and also I just don't like him so whenever he's on screen I'm painfully aware of it
These are the same feelings I have about Danny Partridge - his character is the main focus of the show, basically a self-insert of the creator. i'm only halfway through season 1 and every episode is about DANNY, with the exception of one or two episodes. it's so obvious that it is painful (he does have some good moments but still !! so overwhelming) and when the storyline is about another character, suddenly danny becomes the centre of the episode.
"But oddly enough, everybody on that show was oddly enough connected to my family. My daughter's name is Laurie, her boyfriend was Keith. Our dog was called Simon, but they got a female dog so her name was Simone." - Bernard Slade, creator and writer.
30. Do they dwell better in chaotic situations or more linear situations? Chaotic, unfortunately. That's all she's used to given the fucked up things she had to go through during her childhood.
32. Your character is having a prom night/debs. What kind of outfit do they wear? She usually goes all out (red hair streaks, a choker) but still wearing a gorgeous dress.
