Writer's Block: Pet talk

"FEED ME!"

As it is, they're settling for meowing pathetically and running to the food dishes. Such is life when you've only just gotten home from work.

blond and auburn in DC: heights

You know, it's kind of hilarious (in a not-very-funny way) that so many people who draw Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn together make Ivy taller. Because she's not. Yes, Harley is a short, peppy blonde as compared to Batman, but Dr. Pamela Isley started out as a tiny angry genius of a woman. Alas, she has gotten taller in the comics over time -- blame whoever cast Uma Thurman, I guess.

With Pied Piper and Trickster, it's the opposite -- everyone makes Tricks taller and Piper kinda girly, when actually Piper is taller and has a heavier build. This would be because Trickster is an acrobat, and therefore needs to be strong but light. (See Nightwing.) In fact, when they were admitting to Piper's age and had him retired from crime, they at first had him put on a bit of weight, which didn't look too bad. He's broader than Wally, in the shoulders and face, etc.

I so need sleep. X_X

Deleted Scenes: *fanfic (Marvel): "Do Over"*

As I mentioned in the Author's notes of Do Over, I rewrote it several times before I got something I was willing to post. Well, I've recently decided that the second-to-posted attempt doesn't entirely suck -- it just wasn't what I was looking for -- so I'm going to post it up as a deleted scene.

Minus all the angry editorial scribblings in the margins, of course.

It would be best if you've actually read "Do Over", but if you don't wanna, here's what you need to know: in Wolverine v.3 #25, a brainwashed Wolverine killed Jean-Paul Beaubier (Northstar). In this fic, when Bobby Drake (Iceman) died (whenever that will be), a higher power offered him the chance to go back and change one thing he'd done in his life, and relive things from that moment as they would have been if he'd done that the first go around, with no memory of the choice. Bobby chooses to save Jean-Paul.

All of this is in "Do Over", but here's what he did, what happened, and what happened next from an earlier version. I ultimately didn't go with this because it switches perspectives, and Jean-Paul wasn't as shaken by what happened as I wanted. It is, consequently, a lot more upbeat.
