I love being able to show all the different sides of the relationships. It's really interesting to me. Every time something happens, I run through them all and wonder "what would X think of that?" - I usually let the characters loose in my head to write it for me. Less work for me. *grin*
Thank you. That's my artsy background coming through. I've been really experimenting with angles a lot lately, and placing things in the foreground (sometimes referred to as "staffage" in landscape artworks - like when Bob Ross adds a "happy little tree" to the foreground). I try to make the images interesting to look at.
I was so lucky with that last shot in the fight scene, and I really had to dive to the bottom of the dust cloud to get it. I was wondering what they do down there, so I went to find out.
I find the trio interesting, since Ripp could easily be viewed as an undesirable "third wheel" to Johnny and Ophelia's relationship. Instead he has worked himself into a different role entirely, and they would probably feel that something was missing if he wasn't there. It helps that they were all friends before Johnny and Phi became a couple. Ripp was already there, and now, as he said, they will be lucky to ever get rid of him. Of course, things can really change after college, and when people start getting married. It's much easier to imagine a nonconformist utopia while you're attending university.
Buck does put them in their places, and they actually listen to him too, which is nice. We'll see how well they manage to pull together. Buck can't deal with all the fallout alone. He has a lot of people calling the house, all looking for Buzz.
Yeah, Frances had no idea about the legendary Grunt temper. He didn't see Tank's violent side, just his seemingly meek side.
I don't think that suicide is really Ripp's style, but you never know. Ophelia will be keeping a close eye on him. He does have self-destructive tendencies, though, and that's something to watch out for.
Tank does have to come to terms with what his father was to him, and what he'll be without him there. He's not used to going it alone.
Well, the highest level of the flower arranging talent badge allows you to make the snapdragon bouquet, which has healing properties. So there is that. She will move on to gardening too. She likes to see things grow and live, and it does have a lot to do with all the death in her life.
Oh, I'll try! I'm nearly to the chapter where Olive confronts the Beakers, and I really want to do that one, so I'll be working away at it.
