Quick Post
Apr. 5th, 2011 11:50 amThe fics are advancing. Kolchak/YGO has passed into the third chapter and I've been plotting things in future chapters with Kaze. Lullaby of Silence has moved ahead a couple more pages. I'm about ready to bring the Monkees into it. I'm not sure when Kolchak will appear, but it will be fairly early on, I think.
And unless I've decided to do a separate, paranormal timeline, I've accepted the weird fic, The House of the Setting Sun, into my main timeline. It's referenced repeatedly in Lullaby.
Something I've pondered over for five years is the origin of some of Tony's aliases. I actually had an explanation for "Kissing Clyde", but I forgot it completely, other than that Tony insisted it wasn't his fault. I think he may have tripped and ended up in an awkward position with someone? LOL.
I've also wondered about "Tony the Slasher". It could be taken at face value, but since this is the Monkees, goofy explanations could just as easily be true. (Or maybe goofy explanations are more likely to be true.) After a conversation with Ladyamberjo I got the giggles imagining up a more innocuous explanation for that alias. This dialogue about sums it up:
Mike: ... So, you've helped us out and all.... You don't seem like such a bad guy.... Why do they call you Tony the Slasher?
Tony: ... **silent glare. Slices envelope open rapidly and almost murderously.**
Micky: Ohh! That's why!
All Monkees: ... **really take a look at the sharp letter opener and start wondering if he's ever sliced a person with it.** ... **start backing towards the door, calling nervous goodbyes.**
Tony: **rolls his eyes and sets the letter opener down.**
I think this is my official head-canon explanation.
"Tony the Rock" seems pretty straightforward, considering his cold, unwavering glares.
And "Big Tony", also obvious. Pure irony. He's approximately 5'3".
