Ask WT: Jack and Skye

 

WT: I sort of answered this one...like a long, long time ago...so I'm not even necessarily sure I might run with it if it comes up in the story, but in that initial ask I have Jack and Skye existing in my Bellhunterverse. My take on them at the time was that they were big actors who starred in exactly the type of films you suggested, spy films and other action movie titles. If I were to continue with that, I imagine the pair are often starring in roles opposite each other, and there are rumors that they are secretly an item, but even I'm not sure if I'd pull the trigger on it. I imagine Jack as the always sophisticated protagonist, always suave and cool on screen. However, off-screen he's a dork and kind of cowardly and neurotic. Afraid of stunts going wrong too close to him, or other such woes on set.

Skye, despite pulling off the femme fatale look on screen is actually quite down to earth (or Animalia in this case) off set, and certainly doesn't worry about hair and make-up unless she's forced to by her agent. I imagine in order to bring her in line with her 'techiness based on the sketches, she might have started off as a stage-hand and prop person before being spotted and worked into a film that sort of launched her career. She still prefers machine work, but largely does that in her private time.

I don't think I'll ever intend to write them into a fic outside of being on a poster or TV screen. Then again, the Gazelle X Finnick thing I eventually still want to do does have room for Gazelle to hobnob with other celebs, so perhaps they could make an in-person appearance. That said, I still don't even know if I'd keep them as movie stars. But then again, I don't want to have to write for a second, tech-savvy vixen...I'll end up making them too close to each other by mistake if I'm not careful.
