After I was flabbergasted that Richard Armitage finally joined Twitter–and he is taking to it effortlessly, like a “duck to water”–I wondered how RA’s characters’ alter egos might fare in Twitterland? So what follows is an impromptu RA Character discussion story in 140 character tweets each. ***Facetious Alert***
Grati@GratianaL: The scene is a dark and smoky local pub & grill–the Beer Tweet Garden, where men can talk without feminine interruption, somewhat.
Rich@RCArmitage: I don’t tweet often. & when I do, I am usually quirky. The ladies like my humor–the pork especially–except for my “leg count” comment.
JohnT@MasteroftheMills: You had no thought for your reputation!?! And pork should not be wasted on one’s chins. Such a foolish passion.
Claude@TheImpressionist: Mon Dieu! Mes cheveux sont atroces. Bien que ma moustache ne attirer les dames. Et je préfère mes repas sur une plaque, pas mon menton.
Translation : My god! My hair is atrocious. Though my moustache does attract the ladies. And I prefer my meals on a plate, not my chin.
JohnS@IDon’tNameMyFood: I’ll just have the sausage. *I grab two from the platter* Shall we … follow each other, then?
Grati@GratianaL: If only the parsimonious @Idon’tNameMyFood could bequeath his unused 44 tweet characters to others in need, such as moi.
JohnP@GunforHire: Excuse me all over the place if I find your tweet char limit concerns ill timed. Come on, I’m a very good boy. Cut me down and we can …
LucasJohn@ConfusedSpy: Never mind him @GratianaL. Close your eyes. *whispers as he draws her close* What are you best at, real or faking it?
Grati@GratianaL: *Grati indignantly slaps his face hard, leaving her tiny palm print* That depends @Confused Spy. I remember. But do you?
GuyG@GisborneStallion: Please let me in to your heart, @GratianaL Let me look after you, protect you. *looks around, & whispers* Where do you want me to sleep ?
ThorinII@KingUnderMtn: *Trips tall leather man* I will have you @GratianaL or If this will end in fire … *leaps in front of the brazier grill flames*
Grati@GratianaL: But my heart can only truly be won by a character of good character, with true intentions, & love for me in his heart. *I turn to see him*
HarryK@BeTheSpreadsheet: First, I’ll have some wine for liquid courage. Then because I must follow my heart, I say, I’m asking you to marry me, @Gratiana L.
Grati@GratianaL: Oh @BeTheSpreadsheet! Yes, yes, a 1,000 times yes! Sorry, this isn’t that 2005 P&P period romance. *THUD* I’m a puddle of womanly essence.

Hi Ladysableh, Thanks for your kind note & vote! I’m glad that I made you laugh! And Harry’s twitter handle came from an accountant’s t-shirt I saw online when I was serializing my fan fic, “Dibley Revisited”. Such a giggle! Thanks for visiting and commenting. Cheers! Grati ;->

LOL – oh this is great, Grati. I particularly love the Twitter names. And the clever inclusion of the quotes. You know, you should really start up a few fake Twitter accounts with these. The fandom would be delighted to get daily messages from the chaRActers… Great post!

HI guylty,
Thanks for your lovely note! I’m so glad that you enjoyed my bit of silliness here.
Giggles about your Twitter suggestion. But a daily thing would be difficult for me–I think I’m as booked up as I can be for now with regard to social media and my writing stories.
But I could make this kind of “RA Character Twitter Discussion ficlet” a recurring feature here on my blog. The RA characters could “tweet” about the big issues of the day–such as grilled vs crispy, the 3 second rule or not, shower vs freshening, jeans vs leather, and the male view/wishes vs her view/wishes. Ha! Ideas are percolating. Hmmm.
Thanks for visiting and commenting! Cheers! Grati;->
P.S. And we already know RA’s take on bodices vs bustles–“bodices please”, he doesn’t like “deformed backsides”. But perhaps we should ask the other fellas. Ha!

I’ll easily settle for the recurring tweets on your blog… great idea!
