The nature of DeWitt/Dominic was asked at Echo-2  
[livejournal.com profile] penikitty wrote a write-up about Echo-2, and someone asked OW and RD about Dewitt and Dominic. Which led to the revelation that Olivia Williams watches DeWitt/Dominic fanvids on youtube.

Okay, so during Fran and Olivia's talk someone asked Olivia what she thought the relationship was between Adelle and Dominic. Olivia got really excited and said "Are you the person that's made those amazing videos?" and the person said that no, she wasn't. Olivia then got extremely animated and excited and explained to us, and Fran, that there was a series of amazing videos on youtube set to music about Adelle/Dominic and that she watched them A LOT and they always make her happy.


I thought it was [livejournal.com profile] dollsome at first, but it turns out to be the great Ohsoleil. WORSHIP AT HER FEET. (I cannot link to her other vids because Youtube is blocking them. *shakes fist at youtube*)

The answer to the question is--

Yes she did answer and so did Reed. They both said they didn't see it as a romantic relationship. Reed said that he thought Dominic saw her as his queen and that he would do anything to protect her and their kingdom.




Thoughts? Personally, I love it that Reed said that he thinks Dominic sees Adelle as his queen. ♥♥♥



ETA: A question for you to ponder on: did you see DeWitt/Dominic as a romantic relationship? Yes? No? How did you see it and why?

The Poker Face vid is the first and truly the greatest! ♥ Discovering that one's existence was like a gift from the universe. Hahahaha, I think my brain short-circuits a tiny bit at the idea of her finding the D/D RomCom. What would she think?!?! Is it charming or frightening?!?! Suddenly I am hurled into an abyss of YouTube confusion!

I think your summary is EXACTLY CORRECT, my friend. I am just choosing to believe that they meant "romantic relationship" in the context that they were actually romantically involved in secret or whatever, because I cannot de-UST all their scenes after so long! It would require a complete re-wiring of my brain.

Oh, just think of all the fun we would have had if we could have come up with questions! We would have left the whole Dollhouse-related world stunned that anyone had ever paid that much attention to this relationship! ... SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE ASKED WHY THEY WERE SO AWKWARD AT THE END OF "ECHOES." DAMN IT! I mean, I get that "because they are both very straight-laced and it would be humiliating for them to even know that the other had behaved anything less than impeccably" works, but ... still. I feel like that scene is The Great D/D Mystery.

THE D/D ROMCOM IS THE MOST CHARMING THING IN THE WORLD. Seriously. It's ♥.

IT TRULY IS! Dear god, when the comm first started out and I found it on YT, I was all, 'THIS FANDOM IS THE GREATEST FANDOM IN THE WORLD'. And 2 years later, the declaration still stands. Y so awesome, fandom?

Yeah, I think that was their definition of romantic relationship? IDK. I've been corrupted by my Alias and BSG ships. They don't 'do' romantic. Are we a romantic ship? I think not. We're mostly the UST-and-subtext-laden ship (and WE LOVE IT). So... maybe if the question was re-worded, ~we probably would have gotten a meatier answer. IDK.

SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE ASKED WHY THEY WERE SO AWKWARD AT THE END OF "ECHOES."

AHAHAHA. THIS. I would think that if we were there (like, three, four, five of us), we'll huddle together and tag team the questions.

I'll edit my previous question into the entry. LET'S JUMPSTART THIS COMMUNITY EVEN FOR JUST A LITTLE WHILE!

OH! The idea of jumpstarting this community makes my heart swell with happiness! ♥ ANYTHING TO RESURRECT THIS COMM FOR A LITTLE WHILE; it remains the absolute most wonderful fandom experience I have ever had. Love you guys foreverrrr! ♥

I can't believe it's been two years since Adelle sucked Dominic's brain out and [livejournal.com profile] irony_rocks, in her infinite wisdom, decided that was a fine basis to start a shipping comm. BEST.

And, yeah, I totally agree that 'romantic' is not exactly the best word to label these guys with -- except pre-"Spy In The House Of Love," at which point they were incredibly romantic in a classical sense if not a makeouty sense. 'Cause, ya know. HIS QUEEN. WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT HER AND THEIR KINGDOM. (Also, I know it's dorky, but I so dig how that suggests that Dominic wasn't secretly rolling his eyes & hating on Adelle even if he was a spy who did not approve of what the Dollhouse was up to. Fanon interpretation, validated!)

Did Reed say anything about what he thought Dominic's fate might have been, or anything about why he kind of just disappeared & we never got to hear more about him, or WHY HE WAS NOT IN THE DANG FINALE? (Not that this continues to haunt me or anything.) Did Olivia say anything about what she thought Adelle thought of Dominic? So many questions in my brain now!

Reed was asked about what he think happened to his character. He said since he was in Epitaph 1 he knows he lived and would like to think that he continued being a badass. He commented loads on what a fun character he was to play and how it's any boys dream to run around playing with guns and beating people up.

I don't think Olivia said anything about what she thought.

I have been trying to find if anyone took notes from the talks so I can give you actual quotes but I'm not having any luck so far :/

DO YOU KNOW THAT IN MY PART OF THE WORLD, TODAY IS THE COMM'S BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, [livejournal.com profile] dewitt_dominic!

GUH, I remember your analysis of ASitHoL. PERFECTION. And fanon interpretation! haha! Omg, what if they have discovered this comm and aren't saying anything about it because they're embarrassed/feel like they'll embarrass us? omg. the comm, the comm! (I'm absolutely terrified of this happening, jfc)

Lol, why not ask [livejournal.com profile] penikitty? haha. I'm thinking Reed was probably already too expensive for the finale since they also have Alan Tudyk and a cameo from Summer. I also want to know about what Adelle thought about Dominic. DEAR GOD. WHY DIDN'T YOU MAKE ME WIN THE LOTTERY. I COULD HAVE ASKED THESE QUESTIONS.

AWWWW, COMM BIRTHDAY, HURRAH! ♥ We should have a party. 'Cause that wouldn't be silly or anything!

If they have discovered it, then I, er, hope they are just charmed by how enthusiastic we are and how compelled we were by their work! Fangirling is an inherently crazy activity, but I like to think ours at this comm is a very nice, benign kind of crazy. :D (p.s. HI OLIVIA.)

I keep reading ASitHoL as "AShitHole," which, you know ... maybe not the worst interpretation from Dom's POV. xD

WORST DAY OF BOTH THEIR LIVES. ALL THEIR LIVES. Except for Echo's... and maybe Boyd's because he ~orchestrated all of this.
