you really have Bender down

I liked that little fic. You just write Bender so well, as usual. :)

nice,and very realistic! i loved it

Hooray! Someone wrote for my challenge! And it's fantastic, dear, it really is. I love how you repeat the word 'considered' as you list the items in the wallet, and show a little piece of Bender's world with each item. And the goofy picture of his neighbor's dog! It seems like such a small thing, but for him to keep it made me think that he really loved that dog, wanted one of his own, and never got it. It makes me sad. And I like that you made the girls of the wallet nice girls...it makes more sense, given how he was attracted to Claire in the movie, that they'd be 'normal' girls.

Thanks for the great read,

Hey, Kristen. Missed me? :D

Anyway, this was a good, solid Bender one-shot. A nice look into his life without going overboard. But why is this an AU? It could fit nicely into the film if you want it to.

I really liked the use of the "Not Saved" pin, and I especially loved this quote: "I guess I can say that I get a kick out of being that guy that people don’t quite understand." That sounds like Bender to me, and I think a lot of people feel that way, actually.

I also liked his thoughts on the other items in the guy's wallet. It was interesting to see what he did and didn't take and why. It was a good insight into the character.

What I liked most about this is that it was easy to read. I didn't feel like you were pushing "Benderness" onto me, or trying desperately to prove anything about his character. I think it's easy to overdo it with Bender, but this was nice because it was easy to absorb and he was just kind of a normal guy. I'm probably not explaining myself properly, but hopefully you get what I'm saying. It just felt natural and not forced or overly dramatic, if that makes more sense.

Anyway, great job. It's good to read your stuff again. :)
