( 日本語 )( 30 Days of Writing )Oi. Estoy tan cansada, y no me gusta los sueños con los escarabajos rinocerontes del inferno. No lo quiero. Si yo quiero soñar con escarabajos del infierno, o un ejército de osos, puedo leer Stephen King antes que dormir. Solamente tuve cinco horas de buen sueño. No lo quiero. Joder.
Por lo menos, puedo escribir un poquito en el juego esta noche. Y estamos preparando pizza para la cena. Necesito... oi. Debo de hacer el resto del primero parte de Martine, otras escenas... trés o cuatro... en es Desierto. Y, si tengo tiempo, terminar una escena en Barton Hall.
... The weird, or perhaps welcome thing about this is I've been doing it for a week and apart from the constant need to look up words, it's becoming reflexive. The Spanish, that is. Not the dreaming about bear armies or rhinoceros beetles.
18. Favorite antagonist and why!Favorite antagonists. I don't have too many of those. We could count my Sorcerer in with them, but he sort of defies labels, pro-vs-antagonist among them. And since we're dealing with Sorcerers, we'll add Val to that dubious, unclassifiable mix.
I'm going to say, two of them. My favorite antagonists are two, from two different stories: the first is Jared. He's an incubus, and so far he's the thorn in the side of my Barton Hall characters. He's already seduced two of them, Paige and her friend Will, and he actually managed to ensnare Paige (Will was dating another boy) for a while and get her very thoroughly addicted to him before they broke her out of it. Then he goes after other people, and boy does this piss them off. He's smooth, charming, sweet even, but when he takes the mask off... ooh, baby. He's very callous and very cold, but that, too, might be a disguise. I haven't decided yet or figured that out yet, or poked him enough to figure that out.
The other favorite antagonist is Nameless's daddy. He's the Sluagh king, and boy is he in desperate need of an heir. I haven't quite figured out why, he won't tell me, but I have a half-assed idea that he's being slowly poisoned and wants to defy the person who's doing it by cementing their place OUT of the line of succession by naming his own heir of the blood, which would be an irrefutable claim. Only problem is, Nameless isn't biting. Now, I have no idea how that stands up as a motive, but what I do know about the old bastard is that he's devious, he's covetous, he's ruthless when it advantages him, and he's very, very cold. He's also damn charming in his own way, like his boy. He's played by, inasmuch as such things are, Ian McShane. Which, if you've also seen him in Deadwood and Kings, should give you an idea of the rhythm and the tenor of his speech, not to mention how ruthless he can be.
Ya estoy cansada, y tengo un hora más del trabajo. No quiero trabajar. Quiero dormir. Sin los sueños de escarabajos rinocerontes.
