Sometimes I wonder if that whole mystic thingum they did to save Walter's soul would have gone a bit more smoothly if they hadn't chosen JP to represent "Hate", given that in the very next issue he confesses he loved him. Just... yeah. But really, honestly -- yes, he's an asshole, he's elitist, he's "hypercritical" as Judd called him, he always has something to say and it's usually not the nicest thing he could say, but giving him a hard time isn't the best way to get him to stop acting that way.

And yet, I know that's how people work. *sigh* And like I said, it does get better. Slowly.

Personally, I think a former Olympic athlete is going to be hypercritical. When a fraction of a second can mean the difference between a gold and a silver, or a medal or no medal, the coaches are hypercritical and the athletes even moreso, of themselves and others.

Besides, I like prickly characters, especially ones who are squishy in the middle, at least about some things. ;3

Yeah, I know what you mean! I'm still bitching about him being written as holding a baby and going "what am I supposed to do with this?" He had a baby. X| But liking Bobby I approved of because I'd been thinking about that pairing off and on for years -- if only that Bobby had, y'know, acted like Bobby.
