    Update on Bunny
    Not sure how many of you know that Oklahoma has been struck by tornadoes and some of them far too close to Bunny for comfort.

    She's fine, her family and critters are fine. She's involved in helping wherever she can, so expect radio silence for now. In the meantime, for those who do, spare a thought for her community in your prayers.

    Here's a link to the story from the BBC website

    NPC claims put in
    Whatever mod is on the other end right now has been superefficient and, like, immediately posted my claims for Viggo, Milla and Leo on Tom Hardy's behalf. Thank you to [info]gringitasarita for pointing out that I had never NPCed them, and thank you mod for being quick like bunny.

    Leo

    Milla

    Viggo


    The upshot of the Tom situation is this: I am going to post a bridge kind of ficlet that will tie up as many loose ends and vagaries as I can. Because the writers of Leo and Viggo have moved on to other things (ages ago), it's as hard for me to maintain those relationships as it was for me to juggle Bruce, Anton and Chris. So please, if you want one of these three pups listed up there, let me know and we can hash out what to keep and throw out.

    The core fundamentals are this: I'd like to avoid breakups, but I am willing to offer as much flexibility as I can. People's lives change and they grow (and grow apart). Viggo is so eccentric and amazing, Milla is so goddamned famous and Leo is a machine, workwise, so it'd be hard to maintain ONE relationship in ONE country, let alone several in several. So I can just see this being a transitional thing, with maybe something like every once in a while Tom meets with Viggo or Leo offscreen and they exchange, "I love you, are you happy? Good. Same time next year?"

    Woof. It's like being sucked back into a story you forgot you read. Hello, inside of Tom's brain. Missed you.

    Claim: Leonardo DiCaprio
    Name: Leonardo DiCaprio
    Orientation: Bi/ poly
    Occupation: Actor, philanthropist, activist
    Membership: Yes
    Age: 38
    Appearance: 6', huskyish build, blonde hair, blue eyes.
    Est connections: Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Viggo Mortensen, many many others.

    Back story: Several years ago, Tom and Leo exchanged a handful of insults and embarked on a relationship that started with pissed-off sex in the garden of an environmental preservation fundraising event. They got very deeply involved (Tom was also involved with Viggo Mortensen). There is so much work for Leo, though, and I am willing for him to be picked up if backstory remains intact. Leo goes off to Spain periodically to hang with Viggo and Milla and Tom (this could change, if a new mun needs it to), and he and Tom previously shared a house in L.A. With Leo being off working and doing his activism and philanthropy endeavors, he and Tom are not split, by any means, but there is more distance there. I am going to say that Tom and Leo sold the house, and very occasionally, they meet up again either at Tom's apartment or elsewhere.

    Claim: Milla Jovovich
    Name: Milla Jovovich
    Orientation: Bi/ poly
    Occupation: Actor, model
    Membership: Yes
    Age: 37
    Appearance: 5'9", athletic build, brown hair, blue eyes.
    Est connections: Tom Hardy, Leo DiCaprio, Viggo Mortensen, many many others.

    Back story: She and Viggo got involved several years back (and two writers ago). Viggo owns and manages a horse ranch-ish in Spain, where Milla spends most of her off-time. Hilary (the mun) is open to her being picked up as long as backstory remains intact.

    Claim: Viggo Mortensen
    Name: Viggo Mortensen
    Orientation: Bi/pansexual, poly
    Occupation: Actor, writer, artist, photographer
    Membership: Yes
    Age: 54
    Appearance: 5'11", slender build, brown hair, blue eyes, pretty tanned skin for a Nordic dude.
    Est connections: Tom Hardy ( [info]est_hardy ), Jeffrey Dean Morgan ( [info]jdmorgan ) Leo DiCaprio, Milla Jovovich, everybody who was in Rings, Christian Bale, many many others. Long and illustrious career.

    Back story: He and Tom got involved several years back (and two writers ago). Viggo owns and manages a horse ranch-ish in Spain, where he spends a good deal of his time with Milla and Jeffrey. He and Tom are not as active a couple as they once were, and Hilary (the mun) is not opposed to him being taken up again if it is very clear that the backstory is to remain intact. He's a little strange and eccentric and very, very loving and open.

    Backstory woes
    So in Tom's recent post and subsequent thread, he mentions living in a flat and considering buying a house. Well, I mucked up his backstory, then, because last we mentioned, he was living with Leo and just not seeing Leo much because Leo is...well, Leo, and he works like a machine and flies off to Africa to help babies and suchlike.

    But it's been tricky balancing all of that, because in spite of the fact that I love Tom's backstory with Leo and Viggo, the more time elapses, the more I forget this stuff. It's been...a couple years? Since Viggo's writer left the game, and it's been longer than that since Leo's did, so now it's all muddy in my head.

    What do you guys do in a case like this? I don't want to wipe the backstory, I don't want to break people up, I just kind of want to...sunset that part that prevents him from moving forward with Davey.

    It is time to bid a sad adieu
    I'm posting with sadness to say that I won't be writing [info]simon_says anymore. He's been a lovely character, and I'm sorry to let him go. At this point, I'm not sure if Vik will be NPCing him or if he's fully released; as soon as I know something I'll let the mods know.
