i'm sorry i know a meme was posted yesterday it's pana's fault ok
It's time for the...
tl;nraaemt,tyfyfcafw* meme!!!

How this meme works:
1. Post a comment listing your characters
2. Get asked questions about such things as your headcanon regarding your character's toenails, why you decided in game to have your character sculpt his fine moustaches into the shape of two identical human heads with fully articulated jaws, why you began playing this character, the character's swooningly romantic backstory in which he got amorous with a tree, etc.
3. Answer the question, and when you answer, ask a question of your partner!
3a. Ask other people questions, get answers and questions in return!!
e.g. "How does Jonathan Joestar get his hair so fabulous?"
"Angels cry into it every morning. Why did you decide to begin playing Will Graham?"
"I had a strangely erotic dream about a rubber-clad deer-man. What is your personal opinion on our CR?" etc. etc. etc.
Is that clear? I hope that's clear
Honestly why did I even explain y'all know the drill by now
*the "too long; nevertheless read avidly and enjoyed most thoroughly, thank you for your fascinating character and fabulous writing" meme

and oh gosh that thread WALLY BEING AN UPRIGHT BRO. well done, dude.
OKAY who he thinks is cute... he thinks Laurie is really cute and was probably on the precipice of crushing on the dead girl before Traci arrived and his heart did a little 180 like WOW HAHAH HEY THERE I'M GETTING KISSES LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, because the heart can be a fickle little devil. If we're just talking aesthetics, he thinks Kay's pretty cute, and Sasha's pretty easy on the eyes too. Most of his lady cr is actually made up of women who are older than him (how did that happen), and he's aware of their respective attractiveness because all girls here are supermodels what the heck, but it's in a more distant, abstract way, like once removed.
He's a closet romantic! When he's actively noticing how cute a girl is, he likes to think about how to impress her (poetry class, jaime, really) and holding hands and all that mushy crap. If he can't, it's a pretty straightforward, "yeah, she's hot". Like yes, Power Girl is hot, LITERALLY NOBODY WOULD CHALLENGE THIS but it's not "oh man LOOK AT HER I WANNA DATE THE HECK OUT OF HER"
...and others are just uncomfortable because they slotted themselves into big sister roles and no, he's going to try not actively thinking about how pretty they are why is everyone so attractive here it makes no sense.
wally is definitely a dude who likes to own what others would regard as guilty pleasures, so does he have any actual guilty pleasures?
no subject
LMAO NOPE. wally doesn't do guilty pleasu
actually i lied just now; i dunno if it counts as a guilty pleasure but like, only robin knows this: wally bakes sometimes. and not like 'im gonna make some cute cookies' but mostly like 'I'M GONNA MAKE A HUGE FUCKING CAKE AND EAT IT' or something like that. he knows how to bake for: 1) practical reasons, because he wants the carbs and 2) it's chemistry and its how he and his mom bonded when he was little. but he doesn't really say it because even if wally doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to typical gender roles outside of the flirting game, he still has this very firm idea of who and what he should be as a superhero and a guy. baking doesn't fit into it. baking is the kind of thing a homemaker or a nurturer does, and he absolutely does not see himself as either of those things (even if he can be a bit of a nurturer at times). he even got embarrassed when he told robin, but robin had fucked up a cake and like wally really wanted cake so he didn't have a choice
he makes it out to be a much bigger deal than it is because he's stupid and thinks everyone is always judging him and cares about what he does like he's important or something. YUP. it's the baking he's embarrassed about, not about screeching britney spears love songs into jaime's voicemail at three in the morning.
WHAT ABOUT JAIME, is there anything he's embarrassed of?
no subject
HMMM he gets flustered a lot. When it comes to gender roles, sometimes he'll realize that he, like Wally, is very much a nurturer. He wants to take care of people, and more than that, he likes to take care of people. He mother hens all over the place, and whenever anyone points that out, it definitely embarrasses him, but not enough for him to stop. Dating Traci has him in a state of perpetual embarrassment, but anything to do with girls that he likes kind of does IT'S A VERY TOUCHY SUBJECT.
HONESTLY he gets embarrassed whenever there's a lot of attention being paid to him (because lbr that's what people are doing when they point out they've paid close enough attention to know that he's mothering people), but it's not always the bad kind of embarrassment. It's the sort when someone's telling you you're doing a good job out of the blue, and you're a little embarrassed, but happily so. HIS LIFE AS BLUE BEETLE 100% of the time. He's not embarrassed of a lot of the things he likes, or of who he is, tbh. he's pretty true to himself and it doesn't occur to him to get embarrassed about anything substantial 99% of the time, it's all little shit.
OH HE'S KIND OF EMBARRASSED ABOUT HOW MUCH HE LOVES TED, I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD MENTION THAT. he'd also feel kind of sheepish if anyone knew how often he travels to the desert just to dick around and fly really fast, especially bc he wipes out a lot more than he'd like to.
omg I'm sorry I can keep this meme going on forever CAN I ASK ANOTHER THING I'm gonna ask another thing
is there any world wally's heard of that he'd like to go and visit?
no subject
FAITO
BASICALLY ANY OTHER WORLD WITH SUPERHEROES. wally's really interested in going to marvel-land after this conversation. A HUNDRED SUPERHEROES IN YOUR SUPERHERO CLUB YOU SAY???? plus the young avengers sound pretty ballin what with them giving the middle finger to the adults and all and forming their own team anyway. so yeah, probably one of those worlds. THAT'D BE PRETTY COOL. on the other hand, he might want to go to a world where he could be helpful, too. if it was for vacation, he'd pick marvel land. if it was because he wanted to help, make a difference? attack on titan land. or "the last of us" land, with all its zombies and dying folk. yup.
OPPOSITE QUESTION FOR JAIME. which world would he LEAST want to be thrust into?
no subject
And god, the worst worlds are the ones that he would be willing to visit just to help out with, much like Wally. Space zombies? Ellie. Attack on Titan Land? Armin. The World Might End Soon Mass Effect Land? Kaidan. Superheroes.
Sooo I think the world he wants the least to do with would be Maria's world, aka THE PAST. He wants nothing to do with those wars between the folks with swords, or the political situation involved with it. He's content to let the past remain the past.
OKAY I'M GONNA ASK YOU ONE MORE QUESTION but I feel like if you do this all over the place your inbox will be dead so you can not ask one in return. How do you think Wally would react to meeting an alternate version of himself? (It doesn't have to be jerkass early 90s comics wally THOUGH IT COULD BE you have versions to choose from). Would he be intrigued? Creeped out?
no subject
IF HE MET AN ALT VERSION OF HIMSELF he would probably
be angry
like EXCUSE YOU HE'S ALREADY HERE!!!! get lost. this place is already wally-claimed take a fucking hike pal
if it was a cool version of himself he'd probably preen like "yeah well of course i become awesome" but if it was a douchebag he'd be like 'GET THE FUCK OUT"
funnily enough he'd probably get along best with DCAU wally, from JL/JLU. because that wally is just kind of a swell guy. HE MIGHT NOT BE AS SHARP AS YJ WALLY but he's much more emotionally intelligent and honestly i think they'd just be cool with each other.
I'M DEFYING YOU AND ASKING ONE LAST QUESTION
aside from ted, who here would jaime want to be his mentor? I SWEAR IF YOU SAY BOOSTER BUT I FEEL LIKE YOU WOULD PICK HIM
BOOSTER OR KAIDEN
no subject
and hahahah god I AM SO PREDICTABLE. But yeah, actually, the answer is Booster Gold. Booster didn't give a fuck about him back home, but he gives a shit now, and there's really no other superhero who did, back home. He's worked with Batman and Oracle and Guy and Superman, certainly, and knows of all sorts of different superheroes, but when it comes down to it, they're kind of mysteries. They have these big, overwhelming personalities, and Jaime feels like he has to really keep himself in check. When he thinks of a mentor, he thinks of someone you're going to have to spend long car rides with, or hunker down in a diner while you wait for your next lead, and all sorts of things, and for that... all he really wants is someone who he feels like he can be himself around.
The only real candidate for that is Booster, because Jaime can text him about a serial killer, and Booster will talk to him about stupid shit like donuts until he feels safe enough to sleep. Doing incredible deeds is one thing, but Jaime wants a mentor that makes him feel safe and comfortable, and congratulations, Booster, you're enough of a master at inane conversations that you have achieved this! He's willing to be honest with Jaime, and to admit it when he's fucked up, but he can be a huge dumbass to go with his capacity for seriousness. Jaime really isn't your typical superhero when it comes to a lot of things, and I think that goes for his choice in mentors too. He thinks he wants Ted, who he's awestruck by, but on a day-to-day basis, it's Booster all the way. Maybe other people do well working as a well oiled machine with the mentor barking out orders, but all Jaime really wants - or needs, lbr - is a little guidance and someone to talk to who knows the ins and outs of the business.
(And when it comes to actual superhero antics, Jaime believes in him. He's saved the day before! He'll sure as hell do it again!)
