Gary Stu == Darkside?

[azurelunatic]

One of the things that E and I giggled over was how, if my life were a fandom, and the bits where I met and interacted with Darkside were fanfic, Darkside would be called as a Gary Stu in a heartbeat.

The reasons include:

1. Smart.


2. Handsome.


3. Magical-Color-Changing Hair: red in some lights, blond when sun-bleached, brown when short.


4. Loner.


5. Mysterious Past that he rarely talks about to outsiders.


6. Scottish, Irish, and Queen's English accents, mix-'n'-match as he desires.


7. Categorically refuses to believe that he's attractive.


8. Dances well, claims to not know how to dance.


9. Past Tragic Love.


10. Steel-blue/grey eyes that are hard and cold and remote most of the time, but soft and warm much of the time around close friends.


11. Immediately became a close friend of Our Heroine.


12. Rescued Our Heroine from a fate worse than or possibly equal to death.

He is so, so a Gary Stu.
