lirazel: An outdoor scene from the film Picnic at Hanging Rock ([btvs] bored now)

I am bored at work.

And also, I am writing dark future-fic Spuffy! Heh. We'll see if anything comes of it.

For now, distract me:

Gakked from [livejournal.com profile] redsilverchains:

Give me a character from any fandom I know at least fairly well, and I will tell you:

A) My OTP
B) The runner up
C) The anti-ship
D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character
E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why


I feel like I've done this before long ago, but who cares? I have loads more fandoms now. Go wild!

I'm not thrilled with the actual execution of the Priya/Tony relationship.

You're not the only one, actually. I've found myself completely apathetic to them since they put them together, and I know why too. The concept of two dolls falling in love was FASCINATING, but now there's zero ambiguity or complexity in the dynamic because it's taken for granted that they're the OTP, you know? I understand that there are serious time limitations, which explains why other dynamics on the show (*cough*Topher/Whiskey*cough*) have also fallen to the wayside; but it's like what we were talking about in that other thread - I wanted to see more of how Tony/Priya work *as a couple*, besides their fact that their connection conquers everything. Ah well.

/ramble.

Exactly. I wanted to see them get to know each other--really. Like, yeah, we love each other--but do they not even question that? That would pretty much blow my mind, that I'm in love with this person I can't remember. I think they should be struggling a bit. I mean, I guess Joss thinks so, too, since they aren't "together" in Epitaph One, but I need more showing, less telling.

I guess I'll just have to write loads of fic....

This. It's all a bit too neat for a show like Dollhouse, in which all the relationships are interestingly contorted and intrinsically doomed. I guess that Tony/Priya are supposed to be the beacons of hope though... And, yeah, their dynamic in E1 has definitely been the most interesting for me.

I just found this comment that I never responded to, and now I'm glad I waited! Because they got loads more interesting in E2, didn't they? SOME ACTUAL CONFLICT! YAY!

Oh yeah, I was considerably happy about that. Their relationship at the end was a lot more real to me at the end there.

Yes. And it added loads more layers for me to explore! I am pleased.
