valarltdSorry, had a Bay City Rollers moment.
Oh my, I was the fangirl even then. 16 and Tiger Beat.
Ian was so dreamy...
I'm on the LAN! I have cable modem!
::Happy Dance of Connectivity::
I have to move the laundry and go shopping.
I hate Saturday shopping.
Then cleaning.
Lots of cleaning. Everyone is going to get to draw jobs and do them while I do the rest.
Percolating a S/Mc for Valentine's.
Just a short one, which includes too many pink baloons on the Entrprise, a confused Spock, a wolfskin whip and "I suggest you run, doctor."
Gonna be fun and sexy and kinky too.
Must also make some TV time, and some crosstitch time.
Got 2 blue granny squares done last night. Really need to finish my Christmas squares.
Also, having strange thoughts for a SW gen fic. (It could go het or slash, but right now it's gen)
Do they have psychoanalysts in the Empire?
Do they have talk-shows and reality shows?
Would a panel of experts be convened to discuss Luke Skywalker's apparent mental illness?
Could the New Republic use "Is Luke Skywalker paranoid schizophrenic?" to discredit the whole Jedi order?
Before you get up in arms, hear me out.
For the better part of a month or more, he suffers from delusions (grandiose stye: chosen because of special abilities only he possesses) and hallucinations (he hears Ben Kenobi's voice)
He continues this for at least 6 months, thus meeting the baseline level of schizophrenia, and is preoccupied with his delusions and hallucinations.
There is no evidence of disorganized speech, disorganized behavior, flat
affect or catatonia.
He does not meet the delusional disorder because of the bizarre nature of
his hallucinations (sees dead people and follows their instructions).
(the criteria are all from the DSM-IV)
Also, his adolescent animal cruelty (all mass murders start with animal abuse) of "I used to bulls-eye womp-rats" would be brought in.
His lack of remorse at the deaths of 2 million people, accepting rewards and status for this deed would be used as exidence of his antisocial nature.
The delusion that Darth Vader is his father (grandiose) and the Princess is his sister (more grandiose with a touch of sexual avoidance/incestuous attraction) could be attributed to the traumas of war and his orphaned childhood.
Another plot bunny I haven't time to write.

LOL!!
Date: 2003-02-08 11:05 am (UTC)Your listing of Luke's "symptoms" is hysterical. When you put it this way, it does sound pretty nutty -- dead Jedi are telling him that Darth Vader is his father and that Leia is his sister, and on this basis he decides to run off on his own on Endor and "save" Vader. I hope you do write this; it could be hysterically funny. If you do, would you make it so that everything we know from the movies is just Luke's imagination, or that it's reality but almost nobody believes him? (Of course, he really does have the special powers, which should lend credence to his story -- or at the least, he could use his abilities to choke mental health workers or talk show hosts who refuse to believe him... *g*)

Date: 2003-02-08 01:45 pm (UTC)The idea hit me when I was cataloguing reserve material on serial killers for Criminal Justice 280.
I was thinking it could be very dark, very dangerous.
"Murdered 2 million people because the voice of a dead man told him to."
"Deserted under fire, because the same voice gave him instructions."
etc. etc.
