The Thing with Topper.
Dec 21st 2007
I have no idea what black, gleeful part of my soul this character came from. But God do I love this bloodthirsty little guy. Here he is talking to Edwin.
“If you messed with my head like that, you be lucky if I didn’t dress up in a Tooth Fairy costume and pipe bomb your house.”
What about this one.
“What are you talking about. Sure, the devil may be the patron saint of all defense lawyers, but God loves me. I’m meek.” He leaned out the window to scream at a minivan. “Outta the way urinal puck! We’re not getting any younger!” When he pulled his head back in the car he continued as if nothing had happened. “That’s why I’m going to inherit the earth.”
Every single time I write him, he tries to take over the story.

A topper sidestory would be cool after you get some of the other things off your plate
also: I think topper is the part of us that we want to unleash at true villains of the world, like people who drive too slow. or the DMV

Oh yeah. Topper is us. He’s the guy who does or says what we would. If we were in the situation or had the guts. He’s the “Han Solo” character for sure.
