I should just change the title of this journal to "All Memes, All The Time." It'd be quicker. :P

Give me a pairing and I'll answer the following. If it so moves you, give me a few pairs.

1.) What they most commonly do during sex (if they are the sexing type)
2.) Who has prettier (or just more attractive) hair
3.) What they argue about most often
4.) Who'd cope best if the other one died
5.) The happiest plausible happily-ever-after I can think of for them
6.) The most tragic possible ending for them
7.) What I enjoy most about their dynamic
8.) What I find difficult to write about them

Paw/Donna/Benzaie

[rachelleneveu.livejournal.com]

1.) Outside of the threesomes? It’s always different when Donna’s alone with one of them: less frantic, slower. Benzaie likes to pull on her hair. Paw sometimes fucks her like he has something to prove. In a way, he does.

2.) Donna. Both the boys like to play with it when she wears it down, because it’s curly enough that if you were to pull on a lock of it, it’d spring right back into place when you let it go.

3.) She avoids bringing up Suede around him because it puts everyone on edge, but Benzaie and Donna usually argue over little things: his smoking, her spending, what Paw made for dinner. Donna and Paw’s fights are slightly bigger: he thinks she needs to think more about the future, she thinks he’s too caught up in his head-world to pay attention to the here and now. Paw and Benzaie generally get on with each other alright, but the main thing they argue about what he’s going to tell Donna when Suede comes back; Paw’s seen the letters and the e-mails, he’s heard the late-night phone calls. He can tell the end is coming soon and thinks it’s selfish of Benzaie to keep Donna in the dark, even though Benzaie knows that none of this will end well.

4.) Probably Paw. Benzaie would be torn up for a long while, and Donna would break down if she lost either of them – it’d be worse with Benzaie, but losing Paw would definitely send her on a downward spiral – but Paw’s the most level-headed of the three of them and he’d figure out a way to carry on.

5.) Paw and Donna work out their issues and decide to try and stay together, but when Roses comes back into the picture, things start to get complicated. Eventually they work out another arrangement like they did when Benzaie was still around, except this time it’s Donna who’s the third wheel. Benzaie goes off to be with Suede – it’s inevitable, really – but he leaves Donna on good terms and they still talk on a fairly regular basis. She’s saving up so that she can visit him in France one day soon.

6.) Paw and Donna break up first, and it goes badly – Paw accuses her of stringing him along, and Donna shoots back with enough vitriol in her words that there’s no way they can ever patch things up. Benzaie still goes off with Suede and Donna falls apart, not just because he left, but because in a fit of anger at her behavior he tells her that she never meant anything to him: she was only a “distraction,” he never loved her, never. It absolutely destroys her.

7.) Their personalities tend to clash sometimes, and it can be hard, going back and forth between three very different people, but it’s challenging, and I like that about them. I also like getting to blend the happier parts of their relationship with the underlying resentment and the fact that their time together is quickly running out. Because I like breaking all the shiny, pretty things. ;)

8.) I like writing them, but I…I don’t like them all that much. Is that wrong to say? I mean, each of them definitely have their good points – Paw genuinely cares about the people he’s close to, Benzaie’s a charming sweetheart when he wants to be, Donna’s got an actual heart underneath all the silly vanity on the surface – but none of them are actually very good people. They’re petty and selfish and mean; none of them are honest with each other or say what they’re really feeling, and it’s all superficial and despite the fact that there’s some level of affection there, they’re all just using each other and it’s hard to look past that, sometimes.
