(Can you IMAGINE her threatening her poops and ordering them to come out RIGHT NOW because she is the Great and Powerful and Super Sexy Anita Blake?)
OH MY GOD I LOST I LOL DYING OF LAUGHTER HERE
So, I finished Invigorating, and I have a few headcanons/theories, can you verify/tell me if I'm right or not?
1) Glory and Anita have the same core of being selfish, immature people who treat others as toys or less. But Glory actually is very stylish, conventionally femme, concerned about clothes and shoes, etc., unlike Anita who makes a really big point of being the OPPOSITE of all these things. Not to mention blonde.
My theory is that Invigorating!Anita is hateful towards all this stuff because it's secretly what she wants to be We already know that canon Anita is super-jealous of blonde and women and goes on about how unattractive she is compared to them. So it wouldn't be such a stretch if her hatred towards stylish fashionable love-shoes-and-clothes ladies was due not just to internalized misogyny, but also to jealousy too. She has NO sense of style, she damn well should be envious of those who do! Thus, when she reincarnates on our plane as Glory, she takes the form and sensibilities of what she always seemed to hate as a mere mortal...but actually always secretly wanted to be.
2) Glory ruled her hell dimension alongside two other gods. Am I right in thinking that in Invigorating, these were Richard and Jean-Claude? Because, y'know, triumvirate.
3) This is less a theory and more a comment...my first thought about Ben = Nathaniel was that I doubted Ben was pretty enough. But then I remembered Nathaniel is only 19 when first introduced; Ben seems older than that, and probably has to be to be a nurse. I knew a guy who was once really, really beautiful, like some kind of fey or elf, when he was around Nathaniel's age. But once he got to his mid-twenties, he wasn't pretty anymore. He's not bad-looking, just, y'know, an ordinary dude, not striking like he was for a few years after his growth spurt. Puberty can last into your 20s, and I think that was the case for him, and for Invigorating!Nathaniel/Ben. And this just makes me happy in a really spiteful way because I love to think about Anita's reaction if Nathaniel really did end up looking like an ordinary dude after a few years, even a cute type like Ben >D
