Jeffrey Combs, release me from this mental prison

I wrote an 8,000 word Re-Animator fic the other day -- irritated by the way the fandom always woobifies Herbert's hilarious backstory, so I was compelled to write a 5+1 fic where I could explore all my headcanons and favorite what-ifs while also viciously keeping his backstory intact. The initial working title was "5 men in Herbert West's life who left and 1 who stayed," which wasn't entirely accurate. By the end I'd changed it to "4 times Herbert West washed somebody else's clothes for them and 1 time somebody washed Herbert's clothes."

-----------------------------------

OK, sorry to info-dump about a fanfic XD My roommate and I are being PLAGUED by Jeffrey Combs right now because Re-Animator was my roommate's absolute favorite movie in high school, a total obsession -- and then he forgot about it, only for me to get into DS9 and Weyoun earlier this year -- and then I made us all watch Re-Animator for movie night -- and now we're in the grips of this obsession together 💀 In fact I've kind of neglected my homework because when my roommate gets home, he immediately starts searching for a new Jeffrey Combs movie we can watch! XD

(Last night he settled on a bunch of Weyoun episodes).

So that's been my life this past week: Watch a Jeffrey Combs flick, read copious amounts of fanfic, write my own... I'm already daydreaming about when school lets out and I can write a novel-length fic post-DS9, about Odo activating Weyoun's 9th clone.
