I'm horrible about updating, I know...

I just had a question, thought I'd ask my flist. When I watch movies, and there's a scene where one of the characters is embarrassed or majorly humiliated, I literally feel it for them. It doesn't matter if I connect to their character very well. I just see it's coming and almost crawl out of my skin.
Anyone else like that? Or I am just strange?

Date: 2010-03-26 08:25 pm (UTC)I've skipped scenes in books where I know a character is about to be humiliated in some way, I'll close my eyes in movies, and on tv I've changed channels and checked back after a few minutes. And like you, I don't have to feel a strong connection with the character, I think it's the situation s/he's in that unsettles me. Probably tied to fear of being in a similar kind of situation?
I'm with Dark in hating it when someone is unfairly accused, it's horribly like my 8th grade teacher giving me zero for an essay and accusing me of copying it from a magazine. Meanwhile, it was the best thing I'd ever written.
Actually --- even now that makes me grit my teeth, lol.

Though he did give you a backhanded compliment. That paper was so good he thought it was professional? Still - ouch, baby. *hugs*
(sorry about the lateness, but at least you know what life's looked like lately...)

Lackey has constructed a whole timeline for the people of these books which start much further back in the inhabitants history. Each section has three books which cover a peiod and can be read as stand alone books.
