Amen, brother!

So here I am, perusing the SFF writerly blogs in town (or in my favorites, anyway), and next thing I know, I'm staring at something that's been itching at the back of my head for foreeever.

http://bradrtorgersen.wordpress.com/2010/11/05/code-of-the-gentleman/

The Code of a Gentleman. Deserves a few more words I'm itching to write, but not sure how to say.

But here goes nothing:

Gambit is whatever he needs to be to get a job done: flirt, sleeze, gentleman, rascal, blue collar. You name, he can be it. However, I have always felt that Remy LeBeau, who he is when he isn't working (yes, I know, when isn't he) is a gentleman.

Now comes the tricky bit.

I'm not entirely sure he lives up to this code. Certainly not in a lot of fanfiction out there. Certainly yes in the best of it. As canon? Maybe. Wish lithiumlaughter would pick this up with her incomparable psychological analyses. In the meantime, I'll think on it while I go fill out paperwork for car payment assistance. :headdesk:

I love how in every fanfiction gambit is portrayed differently. personally, I love the idea of Remy as a dark, mysterious, dangerous but flirtatious man who's also a total southern gentlmen.
Now...If only I could find a man like that in real life :P

Cough*whispers*cough :P

I do love those aspects of him: southern gentleman, dark, mysterious, especially dangerous. For my own personal self, I have to admit I better get someone lower maintenance. My future hubby would be as liable to shrivel up from neglect due to my writerly tendencies to ignore anything short of house on fire when I'm in flow.

Now that I'm back in town, caught up on my intarwebz, and have free time, the following will now occur:

1) Supernatural/X-Men 919 crossover piece will be completed.
2) PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THIS BECAUSE HELL YES THIS IS UP MY ALLEY AND YOU TOTALLY STARTED IT.

*cracks knuckles*

I love you, Percy. And totally, totally unrepentant at starting something. :shameless grin:
