Muse Biography: Tie-Twister Victor
Muse Name: Tie-Twister Victor
Fandom: Corpse Bride
In Charge Of: All Non-BTTF related fanfic
Submuses: None
Significant Other: Victoria Everglot/Emily “Corpse Bride” Cartwell (additional dropby: Bonejangles)
Origins: Tie-Twister wasn’t supposed to be a muse. Back in late February of 2007, I suddenly got very much into the movie Corpse Bride. The muses, amused with my new obsession over Victor Van Dort, found a version of him and brought him over to tease me a little. For some reason, though, after the Docs had had their fun, Victor didn’t leave. Instead, he chose to stay in the muse house, sleeping in the Doc’s lab. I ignored him for three solid weeks until I realized he wasn’t going to go away and let him stay on as a muse. I even gave him his own room in the attic. Victor was apparently very grateful for the chance to get away from his parents and happily stayed on to take care of any non-BTTF fic I chose to write.
Personality: Victor’s changed a bit from his canon version since he first came on – he’s still on the quiet and shy side around people he doesn’t know, or his (or Victoria’s) parents, but to his friends he’s revealed a rather large “deadpan snarker” side. He’s also obsessed with cartoons and Jim Carrey, thanks to me getting into The Mask around the same time that he showed up. For all that, though, he’s still a consumate Victorian gentleman, polite and kind to almost everyone. If you get him mad enough, though, you risk having a fork shoved somewhere unpleasant. Even without that, he does “terrifying” disturbingly well. Take it from the author.
As pertains to the Victoria/Emily issue, both girls come and visit him either at the muse house or the Inkwell regularly. Though Victor’s from the end of the movie, he hasn’t actually married Victoria, and genuinely enjoys both her and Emily’s company. Most everyone believes he, Victoria, and Emily are in some sort of threesome – a fact Victor vehemently denies at every opportunity. (Interestingly, Victoria and Emily have never said anything against the idea. . . .)
Distinguishing Marks: Victor appears as he did in the movie – tall, pale, and skinny. He’s actually the tallest of the muses at 6 feet, 3 inches, beating the Docs out by 2 inches. He wears the suit he wore throughout the movie, in its mended state. Of course, being the only non-Doc muse around the place, this is not necessary to recognize him in the least.
Special Abilities: Victor retains the ability to go visit the Land of the Dead whenever he wishes – for some reason, the Ukranian Haunting Spell never wore off him. He returns to his own world by getting a raven’s egg from Elder Gutknecht.
