Aw, thanks! You've made me all warm and fuzzy inside.
Swan Lake is so emo, but the contrast of its tragedy with the mundanity of Bruce tidying his desk slotted itself into place. And I'm convinced that Alfred is everything to Bruce, his father figure, his carer, his friend, his medic, his confidante, his conscience... a lot of these overlap. There can be no Bruce without Alfred!
BB!Bruce has a soft side. I thought Dream a Little Dream might have been one of his mother's favoured records, so he might associate it with 'nicer' trains of thought. As I've written him, you can see most of his humming happens subconsciously when he's distracted. This is mostly because I have no idea what music would have been 'in' for Bruce's generation (the way kids of the 80s grew up with Michael Jackson, Will Smith and Captain Planet).
Whee, thanks! I had a horrifying flash of A Clockwork Orange while writing this, the song was originally going to be "Singin' in the Rain", but the final result worked better thematically. I think.
I did it my-yy-yy wa-aa-aa-aa-aa-ay! :D If only I could get Bruce drunk enough at a karaoke bar to have his fool way with the microphone. I can see him doing this to embarass his present company, more than anything else. He seems to have little qualm making a fool of himself at the benefit/expense of others.
Hmm, Superman/Kal-el is still sketchy to me, so I'm still exploring for the right frequency on which to channel ze Kryptonian muse. Bruce is easy to access on the negative side of the coin. Growl for me, Brucie, and show that you care.
[lol] You've been servicing the internet with your own challenge and battling your brain-eating project, it's a fair excuse. This comment suddenly got very long.
