Hmm.

I watched the Jackie Chan Adventures episode with Springheel Jack. LOL. Oh the crackiness. I also read some stuff on the actual reports of Springheel Jack from the Victorian era. I think I wanna go partially with the JCA version for my paranormal25 fic; i.e., a troll-like thing, constantly rhyming. I may or may not do the weakness to salt and his determination for revenge on the Maggus family. (Though I might make it a different family.) That is going to be one silly fic. LOL.

I keep liking the thought of Autor as a detective, probably because of his line in episode #22 "Only I can solve this mystery!" I liked him describing the state of the town as a mystery.

And in pondering over him further, and rewatching his episodes for the umpteenth time, I think that in spite of all his show of confidence (which is widely believed by the fans to be a facade for his insecurities) and fascination with Drosselmeyer, he's really quite an innocent boy. There's no telling exactly how much he knows about the details of what Drosselmeyer is actually capable of; he did not know that Drosselmeyer made Fakir write Ahiru into the Lake of Despair. He's entranced with the thought of the power and hero-worships Drosselmeyer because of being able to make stories into reality. He does know the darker side of things, that all mankind could be manipulated and that people can die if the power is misused, but does he know Drosselmeyer actually does misuse it that drastically? Could he really turn a blind eye to that fact and continue to idolize Drosselmeyer if he actually knew?

It's possible that's one of the reasons why Fakir opts not to slug Autor when Autor exclaims "That's magnificent!" after Fakir says Drossselmeyer was there and made him write something (not telling what). Of course, it's also equally possible that Fakir just knew it would not solve anything and that he needed to hurry to Ahiru. And punching Autor with a badly wounded hand would be very stupid. XD;

Of course, after Fakir left Autor probably went over and read the story. And I wonder what he thought. Possible ficlit idea?

LOL, I need to see that JCA ep for my version of the fic. XD (What's the ep called again?) I think that the descendant of the Springheel Jack is the one doing all of the safecrackings in post-war London, and people are convinced that Newkirk is the new Springheel Jack when it will in fact be that crooked American traitor Williams from that season 3 ep... So it won't be real, but I think I'll have Williams do the rhyming thing. XD

LOL at detective Autor. XD And interesting about why Fakir didn't fight Autor, too...

And interesting ficlit idea. X3

The Return of the Pussycat, season 2 episode 23 (of that season; 36 overall).

LOL. That will be interesting. Poor Newkirk.

There's no way to know *why* Fakir didn't fight Autor; I'm just theorizing. XD;

Of course there also is the possibility that Autor is aware of exactly what Drosselmeyer is doing while exerting his control, and he really doesn't let it affect his idolizing of the man. But I think it more likely that he either is not aware (especially since no one is able to figure out what is real and what is part of Drosselmeyer's Story) or else that he becomes aware later, and perhaps that is part of why he throws his whole heart and soul into fighting at the end. Of course, the idea that he still fights to end the Story even while idolizing Drosselmeyer is awesome; even while worshiping the man Autor doesn't want the control over everyone to continue. And he really did look sad when Ahiru is saying goodbye before going to the final fight. I think he very well could be sad thinking she won't be back because he knows of Princess Tutu's fate.

Jackie Chan Adventures! :D Love that show!

Trolls are... really fun to write XD; I wrote one about me and my classmates that was silly enough on its own, but then I ran it through several languages on Google Translate and it came out even funnier. The problem is that no one can write them well XD;

Ahem, anyway. I totally did not think the same thing when Autor said that XD Drosselmeyer is largely a mystery, so it would make sense that Autor doesn't really know the extent of his powers, or what he's done. Finding out would suck, though .___.

"FHS Autor there's no time for this. You're lucky there's a hole in my hand!"

An interesting thought. I wonder if it would be possible to tell by the literary style where Fakir's writing ends and Drosselmeyer's writing begins...

Such hilarious cracky fun!

LOL. Online translators can make crack out of anything.

Totally. ;__; Poor Autor.

LOL! That would make a priceless statement on a moving GIF icon.

Intriguing. o.o It seems like there should be some indication of it.
