***Even in my own story I can't decide whether I more want to hug Guy or slap him, because yeah he's a damaged little puppy, but he still makes some really dumb choices. He's such a very stupid woobie because he has a tendency to consider the options, recognize that he's probably making the wrong choice, and then does it anyway. He's so easy to love, and so bloody difficult about it at the same time. Which is so very Guy that I think it means I'm getting it right. I really hope it holds true for other people too.***
Yes, yes, YES!! To ALL of this! He's such a clueless woobie, that you want to give him soup and a hug...after you've slapped him upside the head for his utter stupidity. and I think this duality is what a.) makes him an interested, well-rounded character, b.) is why we bother to still write things about/with him. And yes, okay, he's visually attractive too, but...if he was boring? Yawn! So, sounds like you're nailing it!
Question: I read an interesting fic a few nights back which raised a good point. (I won't say tom much about it so as not to distract you.) Did Guy actually leave Seth in the forest? Himself? Come later? Did a guard do it at Guy's urging? Did said guard know that Seth was Guy's? I'll clearly have to rewatch 1x04, but it did make me start wondering...Or maybe in that instance did and is just he's hideous and irredeemable. He has killed so many people after all, but your own baby...well... I have read a few ways it was dealt with. Will await your take with glee. Bonne chance! ;-)
