The TL;CR Meme



♥ one: post with your characters.
♠ two: respond to other people's characters with your characters.
♦ three: they tell you in detail what their character thinks of your character. TL;DR is encouraged; that's how this works.
♣ four; optional: discuss it with them if you want! Make a big chain of tl;dr if you're up to it.
♥ five: other people do the same thing to you! Maybe you even harvest your tl;dr to use in a CR chart later.
♠ six: keep checking back in so that no one is ever late!

He's watching you, Erica. With his eyes.

[better]

That sounds dangerous.

[teenyoda]

Not at all. It's only when he starts watching you with his hands that you might have a problem.

[better]

People might have issue with this hand watching....

[teenyoda]

Oh? Does Stiles have competition in Asgard? His heart shatters into tiny pieces, Erica.

[better]

There are rumors... Erica doesn't listen to rumors.

[teenyoda]

Watch an actual fight break out over Erica.

[better]

This would be amazing. She's not even a glamazon yet!

[teenyoda]

You know he's thinking about that short skirt and heels. You know it, Erica.

[better]

She doesn't even own that here. LOL keep dreaming, Stiles. The Clueless Make-Over scene hasn't happened yet.

[teenyoda]

It's happened in his head, Erica. He's seen the truth of those legs and he likes it. He's also seen the truth of her cleavage...

He really likes that. Even if he tries not to look.

[better]

She will not be putting any of that on display here at all. Not yet at least.

[teenyoda]

Let the puppies out, Erica. Stiles wants a milkshake.

(I am so sorry.)

[freezerburned]

:o !

[better]

Erica isn't cool enough to understand those emoticons.

[freezerburned]

:C

what about puppy eyes

[better]

ugh puppy eyes. also I am gonna tl;dr over here instead. TAKE THAT.

So, right now, Erica is definitely torn between two lives. She has this future life that SOUNDS amazing and incredible and let's be honest, she figures if it nets her a friend like Isaac who right now is pretty amazing, she's going to think that her future self is pretty rocking. The trouble is that she knows that's the version of herself that he's familiar with. That's what he expects to see and instead he's stuck with this version of herself. And she does see it as him being stuck with it. There's no one to bite her and make her the way he needs her to be. There's nothing she can do to try and recreate it, because she has no clue who that girl is. He could show her a picture of the Erica she becomes and I guarantee you that she would just have no clue how to even ATTEMPT to feel okay enough with herself to do that. She would want to try, but she would just be really uncomfortable with it.

So the big thing for her now is that she's trying to be more open and less quiet. Stiles in their thread right now even notices that "this erica is really quiet" and she's trying hard to push past that shell of quiet and wanting to be ignored. She's never had friends that would want to hang out with her and she desperately doesn't want to lose that. So she's trying to be the best version of "this version" of herself that she can be.

There's also the part of her that feels like she owes him something for hanging out with her. The offer to cook for him, to make sure he's eating, and she probably wants to clean his room for him - just to prove her value in the friendship. That she might not be the Erica he needs, but she can be an Erica that is needed. The fact that Derek referred to her as useless is really going to push that forward too, because she needs to make sure that she doesn't lose him because Derek doesn't want her around.

But she respects Isaac and likes spending time with him. The fact that he wants to spend time with her probably matters more than anything they actually do. The zoo, definitely brought them closer together because it was doing something and there were things to do that weren't dependent on one of them figuring out what to do next. It also showed her that he wasn't afraid to hang out with her in front of other people from home - like Scott.

Basically, her life is really confusing right now but she feels like she has this beacon that's showing her that things aren't always going to be this difficult and it's giving her the courage to try and find that on her own. I think that's a lot more important to her than the actual process of being bitten, because while that's the easy way, this is going to be a much larger accomplishment if she gets there.

The other thing that I'm really looking forward to is when I do canon update her, that she'll be able to balance the new self with how he treated her before that point. So, it won't be so much of a front/act for her. I think she won't have to push so hard and be quite so extreme in her behaviors because she will have had actual good moments in her life where she felt valued by other people.

UGH ERICA

Also I love how their feelings are like. Exactly the same. And as much as Isaac is trying not to let on how uncomfortable he is around her, Erica still knows and she internalizes that, just like he internalizes his own perceived failure to her. I just. Ugh.

And he's her inspiration to be awesome ;; that's so sweet. On a kind of vaguely messed up level BUT STILL.

[better]

They are just a huge heap of bottled up feelings.

I love it. 8D

[nukeoleptic]

:o?

<33

She thinks you're aces, Jade.

[comeonthensexy]

Whatchu think of John, Erica? c:

[better]

Erica is glad that John is there. I think that once she meets him, it'll be a lot easier for her to trust him. She's going to stop by his clinic, especially since Merlin told her that he was going to be away for a bit. She wants him to do some tests for her brain activity so that if Merlin's magic is fixing her she has at least proof that it's fixed, instead of just trusting that it is.

I think she'll still feel uncomfortable around him because he's a doctor and she's had so many of those in her life, but it'll be good for her to have someone she can trust that is a doctor.

[comeonthensexy]

Aw. ;u; He'll do his best. I'm looking forward to more CRRRR.
