Don Draper selfmadman (Mad Men)

I know nothing about Don's canon, but I'm starting to feel like I need to fix this, and that right there should say a lot about how interesting you make him. I like his sort of dry resignation toward everything he does, and you can almost feel a kind of weariness in him. I especially adore his interactions with Mattie, how he sort of reluctantly has taken on the role of 'present adult' in her life.

WE'RE GOING DAN DON IN AN EARLIER ROUND

So much props, yo. I know firsthand how hard it is to play a Mad Men character and you do it really well. I imagine it would be an extra challenge with someone like Don who isn't exactly chatty. I love how you are willing to tag into threads even when he wouldn't be, yet still keep it ic. One thing I would watch out for is because of how Don is to be mindful of how the narration comes across. I know you and I know Don but from an outside perspective it might be difficult to see the divide between writer and character. I also hope we get to see some DON DOING BUSINESS SOON because I think finding someone's talent while so far out of their element is neato.

Also Jason wants to know Don's thoughts on vampires!

SOMEDAY I WILL WATCH MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES OF MAD MEN.

I like Don's hair and how his name sounds like Dawn no okay. Actual things to say that aren't mindless flailing.

I think for me, the thing I really really admire from stalking your Don is how believable his reactions are. He's not from a canon with ~supernatural themes~ and he's also from the fifties, so Taxon is a mindfuck on every level. I love how you've rolled with that and kept Don's reactions IC, to very very different and challenging circumstances.

Anyway he's awesome and ilit.
