Vlad Taltos: Casting Call

Fri Oct 10 01:10:14 PDT 2003

/ventures into the land of overanalysis (yes i know there's no future in
it)...  i felt that sticks was one o those dragaera 'humans' who showed that
ol' vlad could have normal relationships with normal people and not just go
highballing on the hating.  what i've always found amusing about vlad is
that the people around him are all that kept him anchored and kept him from
being a garden variety homicidial maniac witch.  in that regard i felt that
sticks was actually fairly important. not kragar level by any means but very
important and a hella fun character.  ironic that to clean up vlad's life,
brust totally uprooted the character from everything that kept him good AND
'bad (jhereg, assassin yadda yadda yadda)' so he could find his center.
oddly, his center was being a jhereg and killing stuff. it was just that he
had to retarget the instincts.   reminded me of an old drunk going to aa
meetings, had to change his environment to break his self destructive
cycle...... annnnd its late. rereading this i see babbletracks all over.
gnight.. and i still think dafoe would be perfect for sticks. ;)
