YAY THANK YOU. YOU MADE IT ALL MAKE SENSE FOR ME. yeah, i was analyzing how ryan's reaction would be to seeing brendon... i mean, this is somewhere between 4-8 years since he was captured. he'd barely even RECOGNIZE him, i feel like he's blocked out so much of his past, and he's had hope and positive memories all but squashed out of him. however, i don't know that i want ryan to be this timid broken listless thing. maybe he's using his enslavement to his advantage; he's GOOD at what he does, he's gained confidence over the years, gone from weak and pitiful to strong and intimidating. he's a very confident performer (on stage and in bed); very jaded and bitter but very strong; maybe he has plans in the back of his mind to escape someday. there's this intense, haughty sort of anger. idk if that would work though. i'm not really sure what kind of person i see him as after all these years/experiences. thoughts?
