y'all. y'all. y'all.

LJ has changed things. Again. So bad. I want to throw a temper tantrum. A straight-up conniption fit. Laying on the floor like a two-year-old, kicking my heels and wailing and screaming and crying.

But I'm not going to do that. I'm going to keep it inside. And do a meme instead.

Give me a fandom and I'll answer the following:
Favorite character:
Least Favorite character:
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):
Character I find most attractive:
Character I would marry:
Character I would be best friends with:
a random thought:

Fandoms? LOL. How about two 'verses?

Buffy

Angel

Dollhouse!

Also - crossposting? y/n?

I know! And my drop-down icon menu still works too.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay!

BtVS:

Favorite character: BUFFY! With Spike in a very close second.
Least Favorite character: Hmmmm. Xander in his worse moments. Though I don't always dislike him. It's just that when I do, I dislike him SO MUCH.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Buffy/Spike, Giles/Jenny, Dawn/Connor, Xander/Anya during their good moments, Spike/Dru
Character I find most attractive: Spike, probably. I have a thing for cheekbones. Also, speaking from a purely aesthetic pov, I find Principal Wood pretty hot.
Character I would marry: NO. All of these people are too messed up for that. I guess if I weren't straight I could make it work with Dawn.
Character I would be best friends with: Probably Dawn. Smart, pretty goofy, totally non-judgmental about my geekiness.
a random thought: Every time I think I'm not as caught up in this show as I once was, someone posts a beautiful graphic or a great fic and I turn into a wibbly mass of feelings.
An unpopular opinion: S6 is excellent. And I love S7 madly for all its faults.
my canon OTP: Buffy/Spike. Obvs.
Non-canon OTP: Dawn/Connor. WHAT.
most badass character: Buffy. Duh.
pairing I am not a fan of: Buffy/Angel played straight. I can appreciate them being way more subversive than most people think and I love the Angelus plotline in S2, but I don't actually like watching their scenes.
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Well, there wasn't enough Dawn in S7. AT ALL. But other than that--Giles, probably. I just can't figure out what they're trying to do with him in S7.
favourite friendship: Spike and Dawn
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Dawn. I would love to give her a secure home life. Although Buffy is my woobie, and if "adopt" means I can ensure that she's happy and gets to rest, then we'll go with her.


AtS:

Favorite character: Goodness. Lilah or Gunn, probably
Least Favorite character: Holland Manners? I don't really know.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Angel/Cordy, Angel/Darla, Fred/Gunn, Wes/Lilah, Dawn/Connor though I'm not really passionate about any of those except the last one.
Character I find most attractive: Gunn.
Character I would marry: Probably Gunn. Everyone else is way too messed up.
Character I would be best friends with: LORNE
a random thought: I don't think I'll ever watch this show all the way through again. I just don't think it'll happen.
An unpopular opinion: Connor is my boy
my canon OTP: Probably Angel/Cordy
Non-canon OTP: Dawn/Connor
most badass character: Gunn is the epitome of Badass Normal. But Lilah and Cordy could probably go head-to-head for this title.
pairing I am not a fan of: Wes/Fred. And that's all I'm going to say.
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): CORDELIA
favourite friendship: Gunn and Wes at the beginning. *sob*
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: LORNE

[identity profile] pocochina.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
grr, yes. Though I was most worried about the comment stuff, which maybe LJ has come to its senses on?

YOUR TURN FOR WW. I want to KNOOOOOW.

there are still some on some S2 layouts

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm coming around to the idea of crossposting, yeah. The reason I haven't done it so far is that all of my icons are over here, so I'd have to post over there, then come over here and edit to get the appropriate icon. I guess I'm really lazy?


Favorite character:
Priya!
Least Favorite character: Paul Ballard
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Priya/Tony, Victor/Sierra, Dominic/DeWitt, Topher/Bennett, Alpha/Whiskey
Character I find most attractive: ENVER GJOKAJ IS MY FUTURE HUSBAND
Character I would marry: ENVER GJOKAJ IS MY FUTURE HUSBAND
Character I would be best friends with: Priya or Mellie, poor girl
a random thought: When I rewatch this show, I mostly just rewatch the Victor/Sierra stuff. BECAUSE I AM A SAPPY SHIPPER
An unpopular opinion: I don't even know what's unpopular with this show. I don't even know. Maybe that I wish we'd gotten more seasons? I think it could of grown into something really great.
my canon OTP: Priya/Tony
Non-canon OTP: DeWitt/Dominic
most badass character: DeWitt, actually
pairing I am not a fan of: Echo/Paul
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Boyd. I absolutely love the idea of him being the Big Bad in theory, but the acting/direction for him after the reveal was so over-the-top that I couldn't take it seriously. And that makes me mad.
favourite friendship: Echo, Victor, and Sierra
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Mellie, poor girl

Re: I thought there were no subject lines anymore?

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's because of my layout since I have a paid account. There are other places I've commented so far today where the drop-down doesn't work. But supposedly this is supposed to change, too.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The comment stuff is staying the same if you have a S2 comment page like ours. But it's pretty ugly on the basic comment pages. UGLY.

Favorite character: OH GEE. HARD. Probably either Toby or CJ. Probably.
Least Favorite character: Hoynes?
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): BARTLETS, Sam/Ainsley, Josh/Amy, Josh/Donna in the moments when the power unbalance thing isn't freaking me out, Leo/Being Awesome. (I want to ship CJ/Toby because I love them so very much, but somehow I don't?)
Character I find most attractive: Charlie. The size of my crush on Dule Hill, I cannot even tell you. You should watch me watch Holes and freak out.
Character I would marry: Charlie!
Character I would be best friends with: I could see me being friends with Ainsley, all things considered. Also Charlie. Or Donna.
a random thought: NEED TO FINISH THIS SHOW.
An unpopular opinion: I don't really know what's unpopular here?
my canon OTP: BARTLETS
Non-canon OTP: Sam/Ainsley
most badass character: I think Leo is a total badass. LEO! ♥
pairing I am not a fan of: Oh, gee. Josh/Mandy, I guess.
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I don't know that I can speak to this until I finish the show, honestly.
favourite friendship: Toby and Sam!
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: The Bartlets after they're out of office.

Ah. Well, that's very interesting. Perhaps that's their angle--to make unpaid accounts as inconvenient as possible to use, persuading folks to get paid accounts. That's uncool.

[identity profile] pocochina.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. I look at everything in my own layout, so. LALALA YOU CAN'T HURT ME, LJ.

Re: I thought there were no subject lines anymore?

Maybe so. Except they say that it isn't going to stay that way? That eventually they'll change it in S2, too? I DON'T KNOW.

OMG YOUR ICON.

ENVER GJOKAJ IS MY FUTURE HUSBAND

Yes. He stole the show for me as well. And yes, DeWitt is a complete badass, start to finish.

*don't read further than this if you haven't seen Dollhouse because being spoiled for this one would kind of suck*

Your thoughts about Boyd are interesting. I was stunned by the reveal, and felt like maybe they'd thrown it in just to be interesting or something, but on rewatch, I realized it had been in place from the very first episode, which kind of redeemed it all for me.

Re: I thought there were no subject lines anymore?

OMG YOUR ICON.

She has stupid hair, no?

Also, can I say, that occasionally, when I'm on your journal I get confused because we have the same layout, and I'll click your friends list and I'm like, "Whoa. Who are all these people? They weren't on my flist yesterday." This happens at least once a week.

Oooh, how so? EXPLAIN IT TO MEEEEEEE

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
The details of the Boyd stuff are all so perfect. It infuriates me that this guy who had been so calm and stuff all of a sudden reveals that he's the mastermind behind the whole thing--and his personality completely changes. He starts acting like he's completely unhinged, which just does not work for me because he's been so competent all along. If he'd been sort of coolly evil instead of BWAHAHAHAHA! I would loooooove the reveal. I'm so frustrated that the acting or direction or something just did not work for me.

[identity profile] ahigheroctave.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, both the shows I was going to ask you are already there. Let's go with Community!

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Favorite character: Veronica, probably. But I'm fond of lots of people!
Least Favorite character: Aaron Echolls in a love-to-hate kind of way
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Veronica/Logan, Mac/Cassidy (before he's evil--CURSES!), Mac/Weevil, possibly Veronica/Weevil, and...that's it. Sorry!
Character I find most attractive: Oh, whatever. Logan. Though I distinctly remember thinking he was kind of funny-looking when I first started the show.
Character I would marry: Wallace. Or Keith, actually.
Character I would be best friends with: Wallace. GREATEST BFF EVER. Also: Mac.
a random thought: There should be loads more high school noir. It works for this show, it works for Brick
An unpopular opinion: I would watch an entire show about Cassidy and Kendall plotting world domination. One of my favorite fics I ever wrote was about that topic.
my canon OTP: Logan/Veronica. Haters gonna hate.
Non-canon OTP: Kelly has made me interested in the idea of Keith/Kendall
most badass character: Veronica. With Keith and Weevil in second place.
pairing I am not a fan of: Veronica/Duncan. No chemistry. Sorry.
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): CASSIDY. WHYYYYY?
favourite friendship: Veronica and Wallace. Also Veronica and Mac. But really: VERONICA AND KEITH
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Keith. Which makes my answer to the "who would you marry" question kind of creepy I guess?

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
OOOOH! I'm gonna answer with my EU feelings in here, too, okay? They probably won't mean anything to you, but they'll make [livejournal.com profile] redsilverchains happy when she shows up.

Favorite character: Movies: Han. Definitely. EU: Kyp Durron or Jacen Solo, because I am just that weird. MY BOYS.
Least Favorite character: Movies: Christensen!Anakin, I guess. EU: Corran Horn. Most obvious self-insert in the pre-Twilight world.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Han/Leia, Kyp/Jaina (OH MIDDLE-SCHOOL ME!), Luke/Mara, Jacen/Tahiri (OH HIGH SCHOOL ME!), Han/Bria (but only before he met Leia)
Character I find most attractive: Movies: Han. EU: Jacen or Kyp. I AM WHO I AM.
Character I would marry: Movies: Han. Do we see a pattern developing? EU: Jacen pre-the-end-of-the-NJO because I refuse to acknowledge anything that happens after that point.
Character I would be best friends with: Movies: Leia. EU: The entirety of Wraith Squadron because BEST
a random thought: All of a sudden all these feelings from my youth are FLOODING BACK. OMG.
An unpopular opinion: My mad, passionate shipping of Kyp and Jaina?

Non-canon OTP: Movies: I don't think I have one? EU: Kyp and Jaina always.
most badass character: Movies: Leia. Books: Jaina's pretty badass
pairing I am not a fan of: Movies: the execution of Anakin and Padme. Sucked. EU: Corran/Mirax. She deserved better.
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Movies: Anakin and Padme who could have been awesome and really weren't. EU: DO NOT SPEAK TO ME OF WHAT HAPPENED TO JACEN POST-NJO. IT DID NOT HAPPEN.
favourite friendship: Movies: Han and Lando. EU: Janson and Hobbie. Or Wedge and Tycho. Basically Wraith Squadron as a whole because they were the best.
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Movies: Qui-Gon, I think, would be a great dad. EU: SOLOS ADOPT ME. I WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR FAMILY!

Ooooh!

Favorite character: You know what? I think it's Emily Gilmore.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Richard/Emily, Lorelei/Luke, Rory/Jess, Lane/Dave, Sookie/Jackson
Character I find most attractive: Dave. Adam Brody is adorable. I am a twelve-year-old girl, clearly.
Character I would marry: grown-up!Jess. Writing books! Having his own publishing company! AH!
Character I would be best friends with: Rory at the beginning. And Lane.
a random thought: This show will always make me think of my sister. It's the one we watch together.

my canon OTP: Richard and Emily or Rory and Jess
Non-canon OTP: Do I even have one? Nothing's coming to mind.
most badass character: Emily. Obviously.
pairing I am not a fan of: Rory/Dean. They were cute enough at the beginning but the show RUINED them for me.

favourite friendship: Rory and Paris. HA.

Character I would marry: NO ONE. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE.

pairing I am not a fan of: Any pairing that will disrupt the group dynamic

Barrayar!

I have spent all the emotions I was ever meant to have re: LJ. A migration might be fun, or it might be obnoxious, either way I'm happy. I'm v glad my anon memes have sorted out the thread titling thing, but it's going to be SUCH A PAIN to do that on ficathons. I dunno.
