Excerpts from Editorials
A small peek into Sandy's head
Sandy gets put on indefinite suspension from the hockey team after breaking four of the other guy's ribs and knocking out a couple of teeth. His parents don't know what to do with him, other than pay the bills and send him to counseling, as usual.
Counseling, Sandy can tell them, doesn't help, but that doesn't seem to matter. Talking about why he gets angry hasn't been helping to keep it from happening again.
And okay, maybe some of it is the fact that his standards are so high that sexual frustration is the word of the lifetime; maybe some of it is the fact that he's never met anybody who could kick his ass in a brawl; maybe some of it is stress-venting. Who knows. All it means is a lot of headaches for the shrink.
It's as if, some have quipped, Sandy was born on PMS. Sandy has laughed at the joke before. It's usually RJ who says it, so it's okay, because RJ doesn't mean it like an insult.
Roger's never said it, and Sandy is how grateful for that? Enough that it makes his skin burn, enough that his palms itch to reach out and -
This is about the point at which something happens to piss him off - either his alarm clock goes off, or some stupid preppy girl giggles, or some boy says something Darwinistically stupid, and some of the gears in his head get their teeth out of line and he's suddenly unreasoningly angry, shoving them into walls or hitting them or saying something biting and heartless.
He knows he has a reputation as a complete bastard who will kill a guy so much as look at him. He also knows that his being gay is a wide-open secret, and that some people believe he's Roger's muscle, his Mafioso enforcer. Whatever. They can think what they want.
They can think what they want until they realize it's Roger who stops him from hurting people worse than he does.

Date: 2005-10-25 05:16 am (UTC)Me too. I think you and I both have a wall!sex kink.
...That's 'cause it's hot. But I am glad that I'm not the only one.
Me too. At this rate, though, the epic will never get written. Ah, well.
I think I agree.
BTW, do you want to start plotting the AU via LJ-comments/email?
I have no problem at all with this. I also don't have a problem writing a little this way, if you ever want to RP ever, and can't get on AIM
Also, I don't know if they're ever going to get to this, but I wanted to put it out there. Even if they die before this point. But I think that Sandy would be the mouthiest, pushiest bottom imaginable. It makes me laugh just thinking about it.
no subject
Date: 2005-10-25 12:01 pm (UTC)Sounds good to me, if we ever get that far (if you want to even get that far or instead leave it from other people's point of view, as in, Bobby leaves the dance and sees the cleanup on his way home but the car's so totaled that he doesn't even realise it's Roger's...).
We can do the epic when we're done with the AU of Black Hole-ish Death.
You do realize that we're practically defining the tGE fandom, right? In years to come (if we finish this), everyone will be copying us when they do AUs. I'm not sure teen!Mac will always be senselessly violent, but...
if you ever want to RP ever,
Yes, please.
Sandy would be the mouthiest, pushiest bottom imaginable
You just made my day, I hope you know. XD XD
no subject
Date: 2005-10-25 05:39 pm (UTC)Yeah, we have all the notes from the epic, and even a few paragraphs, I think I have saved. We could totally come back to it later.
Plus, I love that we're defining a fandom. Not that anyone reads it, yet. But they will, they will. ::laughs:: We are cool. Hee.
Can't you just see it? I mean:
Roger: Would you hold still?
Sandy: And would you just get on with it? I mean, I've been waiting for this for years, okay? NO convinient girl to bang over here. Even if I'd wanted to. ::shudders::
Roger: I want to be able to savor this later, okay?
Sandy: We're in the fucking locker room. Not much to savor. Just get on with it! ::pushes::
no subject
Date: 2005-10-25 08:53 pm (UTC)Indeed! You, and me, and your friend, started it, and now it's spreading - the ficwriter on your flist, and possibly
come back to it later.
Sounds good to me.
I love that we're defining a fandom.
It gives me this horrible urge to cackle maniacally.
Sandy: And would you just get on with it?
OMG I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING FOR HIM TODAY IN GYM. Creepy mental wavelengths, you and me.
Roger: I want to be able to savor this later, okay?
Aww. I always knew he was a hopeless romantic.
And I think Sandy should, for an extra dash of irony, make some comment of, "It's not like you won't be doing this again!"
I also think he should have a soft spot for marmalade. Yes, I know that was (slightly) random (not really - I'm fairly certani that's what he gives up to Hendley in the movie, and I detect a strong note of regret when he hands it over).

Creepy mental wavelengths, you and me.
AHAHAHA. YESSSS.
no subject
Date: 2005-10-26 04:28 am (UTC)I know. Isn't he cute? Plus, more fun to write that way. XD
"It's not like you won't be doing this again!"
You're a mean one.... ::evil grin::
I remember the marmalade thing from the movie, even if that comment was rather random. How would you want to use this in the AU?
((Yeah, I posted the other comment by accident without finishing. I think I need to sleep more.))
no subject
Date: 2005-10-26 12:25 pm (UTC)::pouts with you:: I've been there, too.
Isn't he cute?
Indeed. I just want to squish him like a plushie.
You're a mean one....
That's me. Ms. Grinch.
I remember the marmalade thing from the movie
Oh, good. I love how I can just randomly refer to things and you get them. When I try to do that with other people they just stare blankly at me. >.< (especially this one Harry Potter fandom drabble where the humour hinged on knowing the context of the tGE quote...)
How would you want to use this in the AU?
I have no idea yet. But I think Sandy should be bribable with various kinds of....er.... jelly...um... forget I said that....
I posted the other comment by accident
It's okay. I still love you. =)
I need to sleep more.
So does everybody. Then again, if you listen to the Scots - "You can sleep when you're dead."
no subject
Date: 2005-10-29 11:20 pm (UTC)Agreed. I've gotten those blank looks before. It's always nice to know someone who knows the movie as in-depthly as you do. (Did I just make that word up? No matter.)
I have no idea yet. But I think Sandy should be bribable with various kinds of....er.... jelly...um... forget I said that....
This made me giggle. A funny idea, although, seeing as we've made Sandy really twisted and bitter, I doubt it would work quite that way.
no subject
Date: 2005-10-30 04:00 am (UTC)Indeed, especially since then we can fangirl together about James Coburn. =)
I doubt it would work quite that way.
Well, no. It would have to be Roger bribing him, because then it's more the Roger factor than the jelly factor. And some later date in the story, Eric or Louis tries the same thing, and Sandy turns him down flat. =)
On tangent - is Roger in denial during the fic, or does he just gradually come to the realisation that he's at least bi? I would generally think the latter, given that he's friends with Sandy, who's pretty out (although from his general misanthropy, you wouldn't know he was a sexual being at all!), but if you can think of some dark, lingering psychological reason for him to be in denial, go for it. XD
