Weird, dual post ... ignore this one ...

What if I don't wanna?!

I was thinking the same thing. This might be the easier prompt.

Jinpei stumbled into the room, his skin blackened, his hair and clothing charred. "I was just..." His voice drifted off as his eyes stared blankly into the distance. "What happened to him?" Ken asked in concern. "Trust me," Ryu answered, his eyes flickering with amusement, "it's best if you ignore this one."

I agree, this would be much easier....

This one's just for you, KT! ========== KT1972 groaned as she read the submissions to this week's Bradbury's Jar prompt -- a batch of Gatchachibis posing oh-so-cutely. There was so much syrupy-sweetness that treacle actually oozed from her computer monitor. She let out another groan as her stomach churned in protest. "I think I'll try to ignore this one..."

Thank you EW... That sums it up perfectly I so wish I could.....

Sorry...I just walked in...what's that that we have to ignore?

this whole thread DT, just no one seems to be paying any attention to it...

Why ignore something that's so much fun? OK, OK, I get it, I'm out of here already!

When I posted initially, it dual-posted on me. I forgot that hitting Preview actually posts instead. Oops. Cute entries though.

TJ-very funny, but I don't wanna ignore it...now I am wondering what Jinpei might have crawled through or what blew up in his face... EW, poor KT, she's had enough computer troubles recently, although this one sounded quiet sweet!

LW, that's perfect! Cronus sooooo needs to be taken down a peg, that arrogant SOB! I love the way you've written him and I'm enjoying the feeling of his impending doom....

That's the thing about Red Impulse/Cronus -- he's a bastard, but he's such a necessary bastard. Ladies, I enjoyed both snapshots, though I found LW's fic more fun!

My muse so far is trying to ignore this pseudo-prompt and has offered nothing. TJ: I'm sure that there are many Jinpei situations where Ken is told it's best to just ignore something. *grin* EW: Looks like KT couldn't quite ignore the chibis LW: Oh dear ... the Jun/Ken one gave me a good laugh, and the 2nd was nicely ominous, RI slowly approaching his doom ... RIgirl: What I like about Red Impulse is that he's a very complex character, and can be interpreted any number of ways. I like to change how I interpret him from piece to piece. Cronus is a very different character from RI, though of course still open to a range of interpretations, like so much of the Gatch/BOTP cast. So don't worry, there are interpretations of RI that I find likeable. You're not the only one! Sometimes, though, it's fun to make him a total bastard. (I've done the same to Nambu.)

The worst part of having a favorite character who is not the protagonist or star is either constantly having to defend the character or the reasoning for liking the character (as if we really have to have a reason -- are we vulcan? can't we just like a character because we like a character). RIgirl, you've done a nice job of highlighting RI's pragmatism. It's great to see other views or sides of characters, even if we don't always like them.

I am really enjoying this thread even though it happened by accident. TJ and EW I love how you used that phrase in such a simple way. CW - I am not sure if I should feel sorry or happy about what is going to happen to Cronus. RIgirl - I really liked your interpretation of RI. I know most people enjoy to hate RI/Cronus. I know I have said this before, but it is nice to see someone who can introduce another, (different for me) view point to the character. I enjoy reading your take on him.
