Xenophobia: Pride & Prejudice - Chapter Twenty-four
Insomya:
Kudos to you for capturing the almost indescribable feeling of joy you get at being able to be yourself at last (*takes breath!*) and Ripp isn't as innocent as we'd all love to believe... ZOMG I am OFFICIALLY ADDICTED to this story! Poor Buzz, he is one f-ed up son-of-a gun... still... what an A.r.s.e.h.o.l.e! :-) I
Sam the T-man:
Aaaaw, thanks! :D Wow, quite a bit to respond to:

Thanks - and yes, I did draw on personal experience with that one :)

The guy's a romance sim and you thought he'd be innocent? ;) Seriously, it was there I got the idea from, although with his background I needed a good explanation for his actions. Luckily, what with the mess we have at least here; with the way parents tend to drag up their kids and then wondering why they turn out so bad, it wasn't that hard to think of one. Ripp's too nice to go causing trouble, but something like that I could picture him doing.

Just the kind of reaction I was hoping for! :D A hell of a lot of things going on inside his head, and he'll have a job trying to figure it all out. How does one perceive him in the meantime though?

Just got back from a long weekend away, and this is what I find. Happy for the update (wearing out my fingers, clinging to cliffsides in other stories), but aiiee! Poor Ripp. Really needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut, I think. Bad timing for letting that out.
And poor Buck! In my game, I always worry about him. With Tank being the 'golden boy' and Ripp 'the rebel', Buck is usually forgotten. But he's just so bright and cheerful...
Sam the T-man:
Buck's a lovely little boy :love2: But experience tells me that a combination of intense and nice/sensitive is not a happy one at all. That kid's gonna have one hell of a rough ride with all this going on :( He actually has a lot of potential... in fact he's one reason I'm already planning a sequel... :angel:
As for Ripp - bad timing indeed. Anger does funny things to your tongue though, loves to loosen it at the most inappropriate of times. He has a lot stored inside already, too. (I compared him to an updated icon of his Mum - he's the spitting image of her. Takes after her most too, which adds an interesting possibility as to why Buzz seems to resent him so much.)
joe_mulcahy:
Brilliant Chapter! Positively Brilliant without nary enough superlatives in the world to describe it! Good show! You've got the characters spot on as I imagine them, even Ripp's unfortunate tendency to say the very things that ought not be. Even telling his dad to go finger himself, I was shaking in me boots with that one for him. Good job Buzz didn't kill him! It's odd how beating the boy seems to be the all too common reaction upon learning that he is gay. I've known a few gay friends in my lifetime(one Samoan, two Britons) and all were severely beaten by male relatives upon being outed.
I love how you've characterised the Smiths, oh I speak too hastily, I like how you've characterised everyone in the series thus far!
You've done a splendid job photoshopping it as well. I can hardly wait to see the next part!
