Heroes - I'm Not the Man They Think I Am At Home (Peter/Nathan)

I was talking with serialkarma about my Nathan characterization this morning and she said suggested that, "if you can't put a spin on a character so that you approve of the way he behaves, you don't like the character." To which I thought for a moment and then replied, "Oh, I dunno, there are lots of characters I love on paper that I'd choke in real life: Ari for one..."

Ultimately, the characters I write about tend to fascinate me on a psychological level, so it may seem like I approve of what a character does or how he behaves when mostly I'm just like, "Dude, how are you justifying this shit in your brain? I must investigate this at once!"

Anyroad, I was listening to my precious iPod and Jason Mraz's cover of Rocket Man came on and I was all, that's so Nathan. I have to write Nathan right now. Only Peter wanted to talk instead. Oh Nathan and Peter, why couldn't you be BFF and not BROTHERS! Damn you. I could've done a whole Telegraph Avenue already -- now I just feel vaguely dirty.
