ART Week 2 Round Up and Day 18 of Writing Meme

So here's my ART Week 2 round up, a few days late. I wanted to say RL blinded me with SCIENCE, but actually it just blindsided me in the latter half of the week, which made it impossible to get into the proper mindset for writing Iroh. Still managed to get 800 over words from him, so I'm still counting that as a triumph

I also pecked a little at Lunar Eclipse and Sam/Faye, and that's the real reason why I can announce my total word count as 1,234 words (I KID YOU NOT), which works out to an average of 205 words over 6 days.

Ten assigned me a penance prompt anyway, and I nattered at voices in my head for 500 over words. WISH ME LUCK IN WRITING MORE STUFF! =D

In the meantime, writing meme!!

18. Favorite antagonist and why!

Is it cheating if I say Hollow Ichigo from Bleach? =) In a way it is, because Hollow Ichigo is basically the evil version of the main character of Bleach. Only you know, he's in Ichigo's head. And is a source of power he badly needs in order to win his current fights.

What makes him my favourite is that he's a physical manifestation of all the dark parts of the hero that make him who he is. To me, he isn't some bad guy that is simply defeated, or that Ichigo can run away from. He IS Ichigo, he IS the hero, if the hero is allowed to be petty and hurtful and not care about who he hurts.

I'm also a big fan of storylines where the hero isn't perfect and has to accept his imperfections. Right now Ichigo is so far on the other spectrum of accepting this that it isn't funny. And that's part of the reason why Lunar Eclipse keeps bugging my brain - I want Ichigo and his internal antagonist to work together. They're literally two sides of the same coin. Which means that Hollow Ichigo keeps bugging my head, and I have to like him. *grins*

Also, on a completely shallow front, I find him cute. =D
