Depths of obsession...

[rynne]

Know what's absolutely pathetic? The depths of my Remus obsession.

So, lately I've been reading a lot of Legend of Zelda fanfic. And of course, reading fanfic gives me an incredible urge to play my favorite of the Zelda games, Ocarina of Time. And the main character, his name's generally Link, but you can really name him whatever the hell you want. The last time I started a new game was quite awhile ago, so long I don't quite remember when, but you can see what you named Link on the save files, and guess what I named him last time.

Yep. That's right. I named him Remus.

*facepalm*

Remus, Hero of Time. *snickers*

And the worst part is, I was tempted to name my new save file Remus too. ^__^;;; I named it Link instead (yes, I'm boring like that), but still. You're not supposed to be this much in love with a fictional character, especially one technically more than twice your age, are you?

*speculative look* I wonder if there are any HP/Zelda crossovers. It'd be pretty bizarre at the very least, but it could be interesting.

Heh. What's the most bizarre crossover you have ever seen?

That's sad. But it's okay, because I'm pretty sad too. Hah. I have most of Remus' family history worked out in my head. *nods*

*g* I'm too obsessed with Remus himself to really think about his family history :p.

[froda-baggins.livejournal.com]

LMAO well I do have a bit of an excuse for it. I play him in a couple of RPGs so it's a good thing for me to know. As someone who's taken a lot of acting classes in the past, I've been taught for years that one of the keys to understanding a character is knowing where they come from.

Err..end lecture. Hah.

What I mostly do is mooch off thistlerose's planned family history for him--it's rather extensive and much better than anything I can come up with :p. Besides, her Remus is half-Scottish, which means he wears a kilt, and that's always a good thing *g*.

[froda-baggins.livejournal.com]

LMAO as brilliant as I'm sure it is, I'd feel like a slacker if I didn't come up with it myself.

Though half-Scottish Remus does tickle my fancy a lot. Hahaha.

I don't mind feeling like a slacker, especially as his family history has never come up in anything I've written yet. :p Plus, there's that the spread of half-Scottish Remus through the fandom is no bad thing...*g* *likes imagining Remus in a kilt*

[froda-baggins.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter to me. Hah. I've spent far too much time with the Method being pounded in my brain.

Yes, there is no such thing as too much of Remus in a kilt. Hee.

Hee. My laziness in thinking up character histories is one of the reasons I don't write original things. XD

[froda-baggins.livejournal.com]

LMAO yeah...I dunno. My brain considers it a different thing, filling in a history for a character that already exists and creating a completely new character. Which I mean...with a character like Remus...yeah, there is a lot we don't know but there's a lot we can infer from what we DO know. I like that. ^_^

[rynne.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* They are different things, but I'm too lazy to do both of them XD. Either that or too busy. For now, at least. I'll probably eventually come up with my own family and history for Remus, but I have to have a story where it matters first :p.

LMAO I'm lazy about other things so I can be obsessive about what part of France Remus' father came from. ;)
