crossover_chick: gif with Doc and Marty trying to get out of being written into twisted AUs (Default)
-->Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] tea_holic and [livejournal.com profile] shego2drakken for offering up their thoughts the other day about Virtues and Vices for Doc, Victor, and Alice. I think we've got a couple solidified:
Okay, Got Chatty Here )

Now that we've done that, anybody want to talk about Catalysts? That's the emotion that drives the event that makes a Genius -- well, a Genius. There's five:
Grimm: Born of Fury
Hoffnung: Born of Vision/Hope
Klagen: Born of Sorrow
Neid: Born of Bitterness/Envy
Staunen: Born of Curiosity

Alice is definitely a Grimm. Hell, pages on the Grimm Catalyst even mention a girl whose house burned down, causing her to lose everything as a possible Grimm -- how much more obvious do you want? Doc I see as a Staunen -- you can make a case for him being a Hoffnung, I suppose, but to me, Doc seems more interested in EXPLORING the world than CHANGING it. His speech about why he built the time machine is all about exploring the wonders, finding out the answer to the question "why?" And he's against using the time machine for personal gain (until it gets him a girlfriend, of course, and even then he nearly gives her up). It's Victor I'm having a little trouble with. I THINK he's a Staunen -- the events of the film would certainly give him enough to wonder about! But I think there could be cases made for perhaps Hoffnung or Klagen too. Any thoughts?

-->Speaking of mad scientist Victors, [livejournal.com profile] 8butterflyboy8 has picked up "Weird Science" as his themesong for the year and another playlist entry. He also got a really nice comment about how someone always enjoyed seeing his entries on LJ. *blush* Oh why does praise make me awkward. . . . Also, the first of the Card Two prompts are up. Sorry it's kind of on the dark side, but I really wanted to write that fic.

-->Been playing the Eureka villagers in Sims -- nothing too much interesting to report so far, except that Biff is now a toddler!

An ugly toddler -- look at those bags under the eyes. Maybe he'll grow into it. His stats are 2 Sloppy, 8 Outgoing, 9 Active, 6 Playful, and 1 Grouchy, which fits pretty well with his canon personality.
