Mm, Dark Markers, they are the sexy. :-) Or so says Simon here, in an uncharacteristic attempt at... umm... bad-assery. Please, don't get used to it. Simon is not a bad ass!
Small backtrack. Hi! I'm Randi. A little about me: in school (woo.) and I work at Dennys (... uh, woo.) and I haven't really played HP before on IJ, but I did a little on LJ. MWPP-era is new to me. I'll try not to screw things up too much. If anyone wants to get a hold of me, I'm at RandiKot on AIM. I try to leave it on most of the time, but if I don't answer (for awhile anyway) its probably because I didn't hear it or because I'm not actually in front of my computer then.
Ok, so who cares about me. You probably want to know more about my boy here. Simon Boot. Not the future father of Terry, FYI. That would be his older brother's Stewart's thing. Simon is gay, gay, gay. Closeted but gay. Did I mention he's gay? Gay. Yeah, can't stop saying it. Apparently he is the only other fully gay male character in the game, except for Horace! Or, of course, Dumblydore.
Incidentally, if anyone has ever seen or played a straight Mitch Hewer, I'd like a show of hands. Cause he's zero for six billion from whatever I've seen.
I'm getting off track here. Simon's a year six Ravenclaw, so Benjy, Gilderoy and Paul all sleep with him. No, I don't mean sleep with him! They just sleep with him. Anyway, Simon's your typical bookwormy, artistic-eccentric. And, he's a Muggleborn. So any Purist who comes near him, let me assuage your fears. If you're near him and he's a Muggleborn, does that give you cooties? Don't worry. Yes! It does. Voldemort should cruciatus curse your sorry ass right now.
1.) Deathly afraid of flying. He doesn't even like to get on brooms. 2.) He seems very sweet, but he's also a shyboy. He seems to listen more than contribute to any conversation. 3.) He collects primitive art and comic books. 4.) He reads a lot. He reads while walking. He reads while in the tub. If he can get away with it, he's reading. When he's not reading, he's drawing. Drawing is probably his best talent. 5.) Not out. He thinks Chase Harper is effing fine, and will never ever tell him. He's not super boy-crazy, but he loves to people watch or two reasons: because people are a source of inspiration for his comics, and because boys are fit and have fine bums. :)
If people are more curious to learn about him, his bio is up here.
Thanks, and I hope I get to have fun here with you Dark Markers.
