my own personal fanon - meme

[fearlessfan]

There are lots of things I should be doing but I feel the need to procrastinate, which is usually when I end up writing a story, but I'm stuck in the middle of the one I'm working on now and can't figure out where to go next. So I turn to a meme!

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal canon.

Off to stare at the hateful story.

Oh my god, I already bookmarked this because you said some great, fic-inspiring things about Matt and Julie. I have so many people I want to ask about, so I will offer you three, and you can pick whichever one(s) you want: Landry Clarke, Clarissa Saunders, Monty Pippin.

Landry Clarke!

1. Landry thinks it's pretty awesome that Matt still hangs out with him, because even though he talked a big game about how Matt's status as a starter would get them both a boost in the high school social hierarchy, part of him was afraid that Matt would leave him behind. He hasn't, and Landry feels kind of guilty for worrying about it.
2. Landry believes in Jesus Christ and his message down to the core of him. In the summers he's a counselor at a Christian Youth Camp and all the kids there think he's incredibly cool because of his band. Those few weeks are some of the happiest in his calendar year.
3. Landry had a little crush on Julie at first, but then he realized how serious Matt was about his, and so he squashed it down as best he could. The first few solo car rides between him and Julie were tough, but now he's used to it and it doesn't really bother him. He still thinks Julie's really pretty.

Clarissa Saunders!

1. Clarissa thought Jefferson Smith was attractive from the moment she first saw him, but clearly off limits. At first she thought it was because he was too young for her, but then she checked his file and realized he was born a few years before her, not after. Then she though it was because he was her boss, but really, she felt more in charge than he did. It isn't until he's been in office a few weeks, when she's taking down shorthand of one of his letters to be sent to the library society in his hometown, that she realizes that the problem is that he's too good for her. She has a hard time finishing the letter.
2. Clarissa wrote a letter to Warren G. Harding about the corruption of his administration when she was in high school, and was still pretty upset about never getting a response when she first started working in Washington. She always made sure that Sam Foley's and Jefferson Smith's letters get a response.
3. Clarissa almost became a reporter, but decided to work for the government because she thought it would be more meaningful. Until Jefferson Smith showed up, she was wrong.

Monty Pippin

1. He'll try anything, and he'll try most things more than once.
2. He had a hard time keeping partners before Eddie came along; they became irritated with him or thought he was strange. Even though Eddie is tense and kind of uptight and has an unfortunate wardrobe, Monty is grateful for the fact that he's never once asked for any kind of transfer.
3. When he was a teenager he was kind of awkward and unfortunate-looking, and he spent a long time convinced he'd die alone and untouched. But then he went to university and his skin cleared up and one weekend, on a dare, he asked every woman he met to sleep with him. It worked on a few and he began to live his personal life according to the proverb: nothing ventured, nothing gained.
4. In his professional life, he is cautious to a fault and baffled by Eddie's ability to throw caution to the wind. Almost as baffled as he is by how cautious Eddie is with women, dating, sex.
5. He's a little worried about how much he thinks about Eddie's sex life.
