Dean ~ 1, 6, 16, 18

1, 9, 10, 17 pour M. Jacques, s'il te plaît

1: Favorite thing about writing the muse?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
This might sound stupid, but I just really like writing the way he interacts with people
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
Dean's not necessarily an extrovert by preference but he's definitely a People Person, it's always fun to write him developing cr because
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
he has such an absurd personality, it's easy to be really fun and stupid and exasperating and then flip the script and get serious and have unexpected deep heart to hearts in ways other characters might not be willing to engage in so soon or so earnestly
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
6: Least favorite ship for the muse?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
hmmmm I don't think he gets a lot of bad ones in canon, to be honest. especially if you compare his girls to Sam's. cassie, jo, and lisa are all way more appealing and good characters than amelia and milf 37 and nosy bar girl and blurry wife
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
I don't like ships that pigeonhole him into the ladies' man skirt chasing womanizer he was in like seasons 1-3 but that stopped happening in the show entirely so now i only have to combat it in RP from time to time
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
in terms of fandom ships, the closest dislike i could come up with is throwing him against random angels like Gabriel, who i love and is hilarious but could not see Dean banging right out of the box lmao
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
16: Unpopular opinion about your muse?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
I don't know if the whole not playing him as interested in sex as he used to be thing is an unpopular opinion with anybody aside from people playing characters who want that experience from him
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
man I'm so out of touch with fandom and what is/isn't popular with the Masses about dean winchester anymore, I pulled myself out of the insanity trenches years ago
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
dean's bullheaded attitude about stuff is in and of itself an unpopular opinion sometimes if people disagree with him so maybe we'll go with that, he's infuriating to argue against
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
18: Hardest thing about writing the muse?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
second-guessing myself sometimes about how easily he gets attached to the people he gets attached to or how often he's willing to have serious, earnest moments with them — but then like I'll canon review and go "yeah no that's... that's accurate he just does that all the time" but I still worry about whether or not I'm making it seem
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
too easy
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
to other people
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
or something
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
idk how to explain it lmfao
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
also, the level of time / investment it takes imo to play dean winchester in a game Right, you have to be pretty active and involved. if he's not all up in the shit or he hasn't made 3 new family members in ur first 9 months is it even dean winchester
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
as much as I find him insanely appealing, I also realize that to many people especially the ones who haven't seen the show he is a distinctly unlikable, abrasive character so I worry about ramming him down people's throats too much
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
Jack
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
1: Favorite thing about writing the muse?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
how fucking WEIRD he is. he's just so fucking weird. I like getting to write how completely unfazed he is over the most intense shit, I like writing him doing his wordvomit awkward anxiety moments, and I like writing those (embarrassingly frequent) moments where he's just a fuckin. dumbass.
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
I'd like even more to write him stepping up and letting out his secret badass with intense self-sacrificial loyalty in a game sometime but I haven't had the opportunity with him much yet
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
9: Funniest thing that’s ever happened to your muse?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
god
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
lmfao
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
his entire fucking life is a joke
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
it's so hard to pick
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
in canon, maybe it's the time he didn't realize he accidentally masterfully crafted the most romantic date on the planet with Rosa and the moment it hit him he started freaking out tearing the whole thing down frisbeeing his plate of dick shaped cookies that were supposed to be rockets and dumping coffee on the Accidentally Super Romantic Book
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
in RP, probably that time in Apocalypse How that he wrote one of his blog posts about an event that happened and it was mostly about Malcolm Bright who he kept calling Hot Gollum in the narrative, which eventually caught on and all the players in the discord chat made it a meme
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
10: What inspires you to write the muse?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
I don't feel like I capture this well in RP, or I don't sell it as well, or I haven't had the opportunity to demonstrate it as much yet at least in games, but the fact that Jack is actually such a fucking tragic character
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
he's a heartbreak, man.
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
once you get past the cardboard deadpan exterior where he doesn't seem to care about anything and you start getting to his whole
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
child abuse, trauma, insanity, deep attachment to his friends, his willingness to die for them, how bad he needs A Person or Family or something
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
he's objectively shitposting comedy slapped over heartrending pain and that's like. those are my two jams.
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
17: Favorite memory of the muse?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
in canon: the time him and Jerry met Donald Glover and they spent six pages gushing about Emmy Award Nominee Donald Glover amazing rapper Childish Gambino best guy ever love him so much and then 10 minutes later realized he was a shape-shifter and Jack was like Jerry we have to behead Donald Glover and Jerry was just like okie dokie
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
in rp: probably one of the seventy things we have done together lbr
ᴡᴏʟᴠɪᴇ.
12, 19 for dean
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
12: Favorite part of your muse’s backstory?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
I honestly genuinely love that he was a parent his entire life. Like the dude grew up being a mother and a father and he 100% acknowledges how fucked up that is for a kid but I just
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
like it
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
idk man
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
i like Dad Characters especially in ones that don't seem Dad-ish right off but then you give them a kid to protect or something and they're like "well i guess i'd die for this one time to cook them some food"
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
also a big fan of that time he got sent to the boy's home because it really demonstrates what a piece of shit john was and how shitty his entire childhood was that he was literally happier there
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
19: What’s a situation you’ve always wanted to RP with the muse
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ

1 is basic bitch shit: to finally pull off a fucking ship in game long term
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ

ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
19: What’s a situation you’ve always wanted to RP with the muse?
ⲉⲙ—ᴅαsԋ
I REALLY JUST WANNA PUT HIM IN A GAME and see how he bounces off of people that aren't his perfect cinnamon roll gf that he loves
