THE TL;DR MEGA MEME BONANZA

Comment with a list of your characters, receive questions, or just tl;dr on your own unprompted! Here's some suggestions. ◘ What does your character think of mine? ◘ What goes on during our handwaved CR? How much handwaved CR do we have? ◘ Canon information, for those unfamiliar with your canon. ◘ All sorts of headcanon questions-- sleeping positions, childhoods, past sexual or romantic history, etc. ◘ Would your character date mine? ◘ If they were put under a truth spell, what would come out? ◘ Where do you want to go with your character, story arc wise? ◘ Give an example of their daily routine in Keeliai. ◘ Who do they miss most from home? Would they go back if they could? ◘ What kind of music do you listen to while tagging? What does your character listen to ICly? ◘ Elaborate on what you've been working on improving in your writing style lately. ◘ What would their daemon spirit animal be, as from His Dark Materials? ◘ What have been your favorite threads with me? ◘ What do their dragons look like in Flight Rising? And much, much more! Go wild! I recommend making a plain top level comment with just your list of characters, and replying to yourself to fill out things on your own.

Does Will then sort of avoid quick-to-pick-up-psychology characters? (I would assume not because he is surrounded by them but in Keeliai, I guess)

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

He's careful around psychology-types, and the only ones he's been in one-on-one scenarios with are Jack, Alana, and Hannibal. Jack and Alana are people he's known for assumably YEARS, and Hannibal because he was told he could trust him by both people previously mentioned. As for others, he tends to avoid being alone with such folks, because a more crowded environment allows for deflect, especially if he's with someone he knows.

The main concern, I believe, is that because he applies his empathy to killers that Will is just as likely to be one. Some people probably even think that he connects with killers so well because he MIGHT be one. This is probably why the events at the end of season one had such a big emotional impact on both Jack and Alana. It was essentially "proving" something that they both worried about when it came to Will and his sanity.

And he's not a bad guy, he doesn't want people to think that about him, so he tends to stray away from the topic and/or people who could look at him and pick apart his thoughts in a way that would imply him being murderous. Freddie Lounds gets up in Will's grill and he makes the mistake--because he's flustered and very frustrated, having a short fuse-- of saying "I wouldn't piss off the guy who thinks about killing for a living." or something approximately on those lines, that was in the second episode which aired like two months ago forgive me if it is not verbatim. She then proceeds to post a slam article on her website about him and if there's a secret that he himself is hiding. what a bitch.

So far in Keeliai, he's only told Sylar about his whole empathy thing. The only person he's talked to about what he does is Isaac, who he just told that he looks at the evidence and makes the pieces fit. He didn't say how. Will is trying to keep it on the DL so that he doesn't have to worry so much about people thinking he's a killer by night.

Ahh that makes sense. And is really unfortunate for him. Will you poor thing and the sad life that you have. EVERYTHING GOES BADLY FOR YOU.

...and then he has told Sylar which. Well now we know why things go badly for Will. WILL, NO.

[encephalicious]

he didn't knoooooooow. But yep, pretty good illustration of why things go wrong in his life. Stop saying things to the wrong people, you fool.
