It's kinda hard when she's ready to go...

So, we know Merry = Anita in a red wig, but what about the guys? Which of Merry's men equate with Anita's Acolytes?

I'm thinking Galen matches up pretty well with Micah - pretty little yes-men who'd do/say anything to keep Merry/Anita happy on account of Tru Luv.

Frost = Asher (for me) - both suitably angsty, tortured and in constant need of reassurance from someone that they're pretty and loveable, honest.

I'd say Nicca matched up with Nathanial - both young (or young-seeming), vulnerable and seemingly passive but both become all RRWOARSEXORGASM in bed.

Anyone got anymore? I've been thinking about this all day.

Eh, Kitto always seemed more Nathaniel to me.

I peg Sholto as a blend of Damian and Asher - though, more Asher than anything. The Damian part comes from ID where it looks like LKH pastede in Damian's A) penis desription and B) wangst about, "Omg, Anita may never sleep with me again" straight from Sholto in KoS.

But I can't fault you on Galen or your Frost logic.

Given how warped Merry's POV is, I really wanna write Cel fic, and while he might still be crazy...he wouldn't be stupid about it. And while yes, he has to get a girl pregnant, Andias never specified A) with whom, or B) how. And somehow, still have time left over to plot ways to bring down Merry's reputation, ruin her utterly and once she's publically humiliated, personally kill her - or Plan B, pay an assassin.

Or Andias fic. She...couldn't possibly be halfway near as batshit as Merry makes her out to be. She's the freakin' Unseelie Queen - you don't...really get to be there by being as batshit or stupid as what I've been reading.

It's funny how nobody in LKH's books ever want to have sex. It just gets forced on them by outside circumstances. I know it's been covered before, but seriously. Issues!

I know! The mind doth boggle at how LKH goes out of her way to force sex as the only solution to anything on everyone.

Something to remember for everyone still at school: LKH says sex is the answer to everything, it must be SO! So when you're asked what the capital of Norway is, you can reply with pride, "SEX!"

I know he said it because he was crazy-mad at the one point, but wasn't there something later on that actually made it sound like if Cel wanted to still be King, he'd have to get Merry pregnant? I could have sworn there was something like that, since she mentioned fearing it more than once.

[dwg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, at the end of KoS when Cel was caught out giving Branwyn's Tears to mortals, he was meant to spend a year covered in the stuff and it was meant to have driven him crazy-go-nuts and he was last yelling that he was gonna fuck Merry...but I'm going to write that off as the oil talking.

Though, really, a year covered in horny-oil? He might get fed up with his hand, but dude, I don't think it'd make people go that crazy-go-nuts.

Then again, the idea that he'd make good on his promise and then have her executed does has its appeal.

*de-lurks*

[marumae.livejournal.com]

Ahhh but from what I remember wasn't he chained up during this sentence of being covered by horny oil? Hence unable to satisfy himself and no one was allowed to touch him? I thought the ideas was NO ONE was supposed to touch him and give him release...then again it has been a while so...

[delphinapterus.livejournal.com]

Can I second that? It's such a good point that Andias can not possibly be as stupid as Merry claims.

*drowns in fic* But I'll leave myself a note - in a notebook, the post-its aren't anywhere near the computer right now - for later. So one day, it will get done. ;)

Nah, Galen is Jason - the dick in a glass case who Merita will Never Ever Consider as a serious mate. I'm willing to bet that good ol' Mistral "Ride My Storm" [insert last name here] is the Micah proxy - his intro in the last book was very deus sex machina a la Micah's shower scene.

[dwg.livejournal.com]

I figured Rhys was more Jason - he's a little bit more hip to the jive and has an adorable streak going for him.

Gyah! I'm dreading reading about Mistral. I really, really am.

On ponderances, I'm thinking that Griffen is kinda Richardly, given that HE dumped MERRY because she wasn't Sidhe enough and blah blah blah. *eyes glaze over* He's probably a mad cool character, too. Specially since his one appearance in KoS, he was written like a fairy cowboy.

[catskin.livejournal.com]

I did think Rhys = Jason at first, but I find Rhys an utterly repulsive character, whilst I have a soft spot for Jason, so I can't bring myself to think they might be one and the same. Griffen does seem to match up well to Richard though - or possibly Anita's nameless college fiance who dumped her because he had an omgracistmother.

(That's at least three racist mothers in the Maneaterverse by my count - Merry's, Anita's stepmother and Nameless College Fiance's mother.)
