Fiction imitates... fiction

I think this is my villain's ultimate template.

"...a young, anarchic presence, somebody who is genuinely threatening to the establishment."

"Some men aren't looking for anything logical," Michael Caine's butler Alfred tells Bruce, who's trying to decipher the Joker's motives. "Some men just want to watch the world burn."

*blinks*

Yeah.
Fuck.

This is Jeremy.

Now I just need to keep writing his character as best I can, be completely true to my own vision of who he is and what he does in the book.

Makes me very sad that Heath Ledger will never again be able to talk about the role that will make him so unforgettable.

wow, sounds like the men I've been with... I would characterize as outlaws.

[brightlotusmoon.livejournal.com]

Seriously? Wow. I'm sorry.

hahaha well, I seem to have an affinity for those types of individuals who just won't stay within the confines of society's boxes.. not such a terrible thing, really! It must say something about me!

I might add, tho'.. I don't know the extremes your Jeremy may go to as your archetypal "villain"... my partners have been covertly anarchic in their thoughts, personal behaviors and actions.. nothing violent except in thinking mostly.... and living WAY out of the boxes :)

Oh, he's pretty extreme. He's sociopathic and willing to kill (with a smile on his face).
I like anarchy, except when it involves violence like that.

oh my.. no... I didn't mean that kind of thing.. no wonder you said you were sorry.. hahaha

*laughs* Yeah, I quickly gathered that we weren't quite talking about the same thing! I didn't think your boyfriends killed people, but I wasn't sure how intense they were...
