Because I am bored, it's meme time!

Tell me the title of a story I haven't written, details optional, and I'll give you a summary.  If you're really lucky, I might even write the story for you.

Feel free to be as specific to characters or fandoms as you wish.

I actually love quite a lot about that episode. More hints about Tony's past - that he took piano lessons and the teacher used to hit him over the knuckles (at least I think the last one is in the episode as well, but it might just be fanon, I can't quite remember).

The end bugged the hell out of me as well. Well, not really. It just broke my heart, AGAIN. 'cause I didn't get the impression that they knew what they were doing to Tony and that just goes to prove that they don't exactly know him very well or have bothered to look past the masks and that.. that's all kinds of sad :(

EXACTLY (about the ending) but, how could they *not* know?

I have a link to transcripts somewhere, I'm going to go see what they say about the piano lessons

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

found it!

TONY: How?
ZIVA: He tuned my piano.
TONY: I used to play piano.
ZIVA: But not anymore?
TONY: My mother forced me to take lessons from this woman who used to hit me with a ruler every time I made a mistake. I haven’t played since.
ZIVA: Were you any good?
TONY: Yeah, I actually was.

and you were right...
DUCKY: Well, I’ll know more when I get him back. You’ll find them, Jethro.
GIBBS: Is that a question or statement, Duck?

I don't know how they couldn't know, either. Maybe they chose to ignore it 'cause it's so much easier to believe that Tony is just a sometimes annoying frat-boy jock?

Yeah, that. I love how they zoom in on his knuckles when he says that and how sad he looks there. So gorgeous.

probably- but still.. meanies...

sigh. Tony looks so- dejected I guess, when talking about that- like it was just another in a long list of things that sucked in his childhood but he accepted because what choice did he have?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

yeah, it doesn't exactly make it any better, does it? if anything, it makes it worse :(

yeah, he does. dejected is a good word for it. tony's childhood is a never-ending source of hurt!bunnies for me.

I REALLY want the writers to give us more to go on. A phone call to his dad. a drunken bit of exposition. SOMETHING more than these little asides and snippets of his past

[chatona.livejournal.com]

On one hand, yeah, so do I. On the other hand, though, I really like the understated way with which they present us Tony's past. I think it makes it all even more painful.

And... doesn't it say anywhere that Tony's dad hit him at least once? I think it's hinted at or something. He used his dad's skiing-something to make a Halloween outfit out of it and "couldn't sit for a week after"? Not sure though. And I think we can take Tony's "He was too drunk to hurt anyone" from Chained at face-value. Well. If we add a "most of the time" to it, anyway.

it's in 4.06 "Witch hunt" that he says that.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Huh. I think I need to watch that episode, if only to see the look on his face when he says that... I only read it on wikiquote, to be honest :D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

if I remember right, he's got this sort of apologetic look on his face

[chatona.livejournal.com]

awh! I think I know what I'll do tonight.. watch With Hunt. And maybe write, if I can wrap my head around it.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

let me know if I'm right, it's been awhile since I saw it

and YAY for writing!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Will do *beams*

Yeah, writing is good. I'm going through withdrawal, haven't really written anything at all this month. Been busy studying *whines*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

but... school is important

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I know.. and it's my final exams and after, I'll have half a year or so of doing nothing so I'll be able to write then. Still. I sort of want to write.
