Only You Can See Me: A Randall Boggs Fanfic
PLEASE READ:
Hello, fellow readers and writers – and fellow Randall fans, of course! As you might have guessed by now, the following fic is a Randall - centric one (one of the many I've seen here - great job, you guys! xD). Don't get me wrong, I like Mike and Sully, too (Mike's just outrageously funny, and Sully's a big fuzzy flufflepuff - what's not to like?) but ole Randall's always been my fave. Ever since I first saw Monsters Inc in theaters when I was nine. :)
Why do I like Randall so much? Well, that's a bit complicated...I'm not even sure I know precisely why I do, much less articulate it in a meaningful way. Maybe it was because I admired (and secretly envied) his ability to change colors and turn himself invisible at will. Or maybe it was simply because he was my three favorite colors: purple, pink and aqua. Or it could have been the adorable way his eyes cross when he's about to sneeze (Man, if I could find a screencap of his sneezy widdle face right then, I'd be the happiest fangirl alive :P). But I think probably the main reason why I was so drawn to him is because..well...you could just feel safe with him. You just had this sense that he'd always protect you, and if something was scaring you, he'd turn himself invisible and kick the fire out of it until you weren't scared anymore. Shoot, Randall was even my imaginary friend when I was a kid...and that's what the following fic is largely based on. My OC, nine - year - old Peggy, is the ficitional representation of myself at the same age.
Anyway, here's some background...the story takes place about a year or so after Mike and Sully *sneezecough* illegally *sneezecough* banished him to the trailer in Louisiana. From there, Randall escapes, and he ends up at an urban park where he meets Peggy for the first time.
If anyone's interested, there's this great video on Youtube that does an awesome job of pleading Randall's case...just type in, "Why Randall Boggs Is Not Evil" and it should come right up! It's not my video (I don't have a YT vaccount), but it really drives home my main points about why Randall is basically good at heart, and simply was desperate and just made bad choices. Waternoose was the real villain, and all the Randall Haters know it. *scowls*
Well, have a wonderful Christmas and New Year's, and enjoy the fic! :D
