Elliot Appreciation Topic
Platypodes:
Elliot is one of my favorite minor characters too. He's very endearing, and just goofy enough that he can be comic relief while still being realistic and someone you can easily relate to.
And I'll second everything Mlle Germain said about Elliot and Hanners. It was really fun seeing them together the first time.
Eddie 88:
For the record, I'm not a gentle giant. Which is to say I'm not giant, I'm just incredibly and unmistakably masculine-appearing, which clashes with my Elliot-like demeanor. (IRL, anyway. >_> I never get into heated arguments in meatspace. You'd think I was really shy and gentle IRL, I swear >_>)
I had forgotten about Elliot and Hanners! Can someone post a link to their first interactions? I do wanna see more of them (not in a shipping way) now that it's been mentioned.
'cause if you think about it, pretty much everyone in the QC cast is sort of...all up in their own heads, if that makes sense. They're all sort of...self-involved, kinda neurotic people. The kind of people who blow tiny things out of porportion, and yell at others and get yelled at a lot, and get angry over little things, and are generally very youthfully confused about themselves and their place in the world, and mixed up about their emotions and relationships.
And Hanners, like Pinocchio, is learning how to be a real boy, so to speak. And maybe the rest of the cast aren't exactly ideal teachers. Elliot, who's so mild and calm and guileless (the killing fish thing, lol, it never even crossed his mind to be dishonest or to "prepare" anyone for what he was about to say, he just said it) might be a refreshing change of pace for her. It'd be interesting for her and for us for Hanners to have a real conversation with someone who isn't neurotic.
Not that everyone else isn't nice and accomodating to Hanners, its just, how they treat her is very different from how they normally act, you know? They're deliberately being nice because of her psychological problems. Elliot could act no differently towards Hanners than he does towards anyone else and it'd be fine.
KOK:
Next: Eliot and Dave fight.

I'd be happy to see him get more screen time and character development.
