Not Much To Say About Today

crossover_chickAnother hot and sticky one, which meant most of the day was spent indoors. Heat waves suck. At least the worst is supposed to be over soon. We hope.
Worked a little on Chapter 13 of "Forgetting You," and on doing more origin stories for my Avengers AU. Also posted a few of my photocomics to tumblr: Unmade and Red In My Ledger. Seriously, Hawkeye and Black Widow really, really reminded me of Forgotten Vows and Alice there. I even wrote up a rough draft of how Victor could adapt Hawkeye's speech for "Remembering You" (he's shouting at Dr. Wilson during a therapy session while he's amnesiac, by the by):
“No, you don’t understand!”
Victor suddenly got to his feet, glaring down at the psychiatrist. “You haven’t – have you ever had anyone take your brain and just – play?” he demanded. “Take you out and reduce you down to nothing more than an empty shell? A doll to be posed and prodded when wanted, and shoved in the corner when not?!” The anger drained from his face, leaving a sort of empty pain and horror. “Do you know what it’s like to be unmade?”
Dr. Wilson was silent for a moment, then shook his head. “No, I don’t,” he confessed quietly.
“Then how can you say you can remake me? The pieces are gone and I–” Victor sat down again, slumping over his knees. “Even if you find them, I won’t be myself anymore.”
Alice put a hand on his back. “That’s not precisely true,” she whispered, making him look up at her. “I’ve never been completely unmade, but – I’ve broken. I’ve shattered. But I found the pieces. And maybe they don’t fit together quite like they used to – but I’m still here.” She touched his cheek. “You’re only lost if you believe you are."
Don't know if it'll end up like that in the final draft, but I really do want to use at least the "unmade" line.
And damn, I have been hit by a bad case of "tired" right now, so I'm gonna go poke at TV Tropes for a few minutes before returning to RP stuff. *shakehead*
