Myitt, sometimes I wish you were here so that I could hug you. :hug2:
It isn't very often that people share my literary tastes so thoroughly.

I LOVE SANDMAN!! (Especially Puck!!)

I LOVE virtually EVERYTHING Stephen King.

Also, the Corinthian RULES!!

Does Drode remind you (just a weee bit) of Desire? She/He has that same kind of knowing smile. Its as if she/he always knows just a bit more than you do, and she/he won't hesitate to use it against you, y'know?


The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Awwww, virtual hugs Estie  :hug2: !   ;D

I own all of Sandman and enjoy shoving it onto my friends, who must understand its ridiculous goodness ^^  Yeah, I guess in retrospect Desire kinda has that same, mischievous, kinda devious smile.  The creepy Johnny smile x3 

I loved the Corinthian, I have this awful soft spot for people who are bad, or somehow outlawed, or nightmares...and turn out to be good in their own way.  Yays  ::)

Drode and the Man in Black are similar to me in both their deprecating humor AND their omniscience...like they know what's going to happen, and can't help laughing in the heroes' faces about it.  And they're both....kinda....bl ack?  Eh? o.O

Lol you want to hug her because of her taste in all that classic literature, i want to hug her cause she likes JOHNNY THE HOMICIDAL MANIAC lol what is wrong with me

but YES, good reference myitt, i love that homicidal bastard lol

I love the drode, but he couldnt get my top villian spot just cause there really isnt enough of him, such a pity. next on my fanfics to-do list is The Drode Chronicles, telling about how he became crayaks servant, so much potential there (dont expect it any time soon tho lol)

Hes kinda starting to sound like the joker (ledgers obviously haha) psychotic yet humorous, hitting the right buttons on people

I thought the Drode was hilarious. Harmless and destructive at the same time.

That speech with him dishing out the truths was awesome :)

The Drode reminds me *alot* of Heath Ledger's Joker. *has just seen the Dark Knight*  >:D

Drode is awesome. :D Every time he talks he gets a reaction out of me, which is pretty impressive.

Welcome to RAF, Rowrow! I am Estelore.

Austin Powers? NICE.

Worms + Randall...I can see it, I suppose. Hmmn. Interesting concept.

How he looks? always thought of him as a cross between Dobby from HP, Gollum from LoTR, and I dunno what.....
Brown wrinkly skin, dobby-like face, more angular and crafty, eyes with more depth but less 'cuteness', goblin like ears......
*anything* is possible, *some* things are probable, this is what is.
And I will continue to deal with what is...

I always imagined him as like a deinonychus with a semi-human head.

*thats* the other peice Im looking for! A deinonychus/Dobby/Goblin/Gollum cross, with the shiftiest, most agile, most disproportionate, yet most fierce aspects of each.

I thought his appearance was already explained in the books. Why are people debating on what he looks like?
