Recently, in one of my mindless surfing adventures thru the net, I stumbled upon this website, Hero at Heart. Several romance writers describe their perfect heroes. Most of them of course mention honor, courage, faithfullness, honesty, integrity, etc. The works, the perfect man. I found this kind of boring actually, but I kept reading and here are the ones I agree with the most:

"A romantic hero can be as much of a jackass as he likes, as long as hidden somewhere inside him is courage, honesty, and an abiding and inescapable love for the heroine."
- Emily Carmichael

"Personally, I prefer them flawed but redeemable, with a strong underlying sense of humor."
- Candice Hern

"The hero should always believe the heroine is the most sexy, intriguing, infuriating woman he's ever met; and the more she challenges him, the more he can't wait to strip her naked and cart her off to bed."
- Alicia Scott
(this one made me remember these are smutty romance authors lol)

"Every hero should have a deep, festering, emotional wound that only the heroine can heal. It's the most appealing characteristic you can give a man—because it turns the woman into his hero."
- Maggie Shayne

So what are the qualities you give your heroes? I don't like them too perfect, flaws are always more interesting. The more impossible their relationship to the heroine is, the better *coughROMYcough*. What can I say, I'm somewhat of a massochist. Well, not really because I expect to be together at the end. I find the fact that they can overcome any situation for love, simply wonderful.

I think Remy would make a great romance novel heroe (anti-heroe maybe?), just don't make him a pirate XD.

If Remy Lebeau was a tacky man, he would wear something like this:

Been watching the X-Men TAS lately, "Cold Comfort" is one of my favorite episodes because is the only episode where Bobby comes out. He's been growing on my lately, in a "yes I'm pathetic, take care of me" kinda way.

Anyways, I was watching this episode and had to do a double take of this scene:

I'm so bad at keeping blogs/journals ^^;

Anyways, I'm sharing the 3rd place banner I got over at the xmen_icontest

This following panel really makes me want to start reading the Avengers again (click on it to enlarge a bit):

Another excerpt from my yet-to-be-published fanfic. It was going to be a long ROMY at first, but since I included an OC, she seems to have taken over a bit ^^; So it'll still contain plenty of ROMY, but that won't quite be the focus anymore. I should be moving forward with the fic now that I have finally worked out an ending. So far I'm planning around 25 chapters, this is a taste of chapter 4 (tentative).

To this day I really don’t know why Julien and the other assassins didn’t think of me as a threat. Granted I didn’t oppose resistance when they blindfolded me and took me away to the bayou. But that was because I wanted to be taken as close to Henri as possible, not because I was afraid of them or couldn’t defend myself. They knew too well I was a mutant, they obviously were familiar with others like me, had to have known I could’ve easily killed them all if I really wanted to. They knew it, right?

My guess is that the son of the head of the Assassins Guild would never consider losing to the likes of a mutant or a woman for that matter. He’d not hear of it.

Hopefully this will work, I'm new at the deviantart scene. This is a piece I commissioned, hopefully the first of many to come, go ROMY!

What type of Fae are you?


Yep, that's me. Yey.

I saw him on the ground, blood coming out of his mouth.

He is the shadow of the strong man I had known. Now he is weak, small, and distant.

I will never have him back, his life is slowly fading and I just wish he won't suffer.
