The ol' Shag, Marry, Cliff meme : life is hard choices... *g*
Judging from the response, it seems I should do silly memes like this more often! *g*
Okay, here goes. I'm not sure how this is supposed to be played, but I'm assuming the main motivation should be attraction (or lack of it), and arguments like "I really don't want to shag character X, but he's suffered enough during the course of show Y that throwing him off a cliff would be cruel, so I'll shag him anyway and chuck down sexy evil character Z instead, even though what I reaaally want is to... etc." should not apply here. :)
vjs2259 gave me John Sheridan, Vir Cotto, and G'Kar (B5)
Oh, testing my John Sheridan love, aren't you? Well, one choice is pretty easy: marry Vir - on the condition that there will not be other wives, because I don't care how many appendages he has, I'm far too jealous a person to share. Share in that particular way, I mean; sharing food or living space I think I could manage. *g* He's the person in B5 to whom I can best relate, and in RL I tend to - hm, I was almost going to say "tend to marry", but that sounds as if I've had seven spouses myself :) - be attracted to those kinds of people. And because he's shy and enthusiastic and scared and brave and the thing he wants the most is a good job and a loving wife... *melts*
That either leaves G'Kar or Sheridan to shag, and while I think Sheridan is absolutely shag-worthy (and marriable) from a rational point of view, the "vibe" just isn't there for me, for no reason I can pinpoint. So I'd go for G'Kar - post-season 3 G'Kar, that is - at least, if I'm in an adventurous enough mood to overlook the fact of alien sex being, um, scary. Seriously, I think he's a creative lover - and the fact he has all those Centauri women swooning over him must have a reason, no? Also, he doesn't seem like the "woo-hoo" type to me. *veg*
mithen came up with Obi-Wan Kenobi (SW), Severius Snape (HP), and Faramir (LOTR)
Oh, hard. Especially Faramir, because I'll have to choose between the book and the movie version. Movie!Faramir I wasn't overly fond of, as he was a far bitterer and less reasonable person than I remembered from the novels, and frankly the character irritated me a bit. Alas, I don't know the novels well enough to recall if that version of Faramir would have rung my bell, so movie!Faramir it will be, and movie!Faramir will go off the cliff.
The rest you can probably guess: I'm not marrying Snape for the world, but a shag with someone who looks like Alan Rickman is not something I would pass up, oh no. Especially with that voice whispering sweet trifles (or dry insults ;) ) into my ear. He would have to wash his hair, though. And take off the cape. *g*
That leaves the Jedi Master to marry, which is perfectly fine to me - as long as that implies I get to shag him, too. ;)
thebunnybag asked about Dukhat (B5), Sirius Black (HP), and Leonard McCoy (ST:TOS)
I'm sure I'd come to regret it eventually, given his disastrous history with women, but I want to marry Bones so bad that Dukhat and Sirius are really no competition. *snuggles Bones, for his sweet dimpled cheeks and shiny blue eyes and his gruffness and dry jokes and how there is so much love in him that he's just keeping a lid on*
The choice between Dukhat and Sirius - aw, do I have to? I'm so very fond of Sirius, and I really don't want someone who spent half his adult life in Azkaban to get chucked off a cliff, but according to the rules I set myself, that's not a valid argument. And while I'd be happy to give Sirius a big cuddly hug, he doesn't quite appeal to me on the shagging front. So cliff for Sirius (Sorry, Sirius!), even though it breaks my heart to do it, and shag Dukhat.
selenak was curious about Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Severus Snape (HP)
Gah, am I seriously gonna have to cliff Sirius twice? You are cruel, lady! But I'm afraid that's what it'll have to be, for the same reason as above: I think he's a sweet guy - albeit with some issues, though who wouldn't, with a family like that - but he doesn't appeal to me in that way. Nor do I think he'd make a suitable marriage candidate, given that he's impulsive as hell and I'm a bit of a control freak; we'd be throwing hexes at each other (well, he'd be throwing the hexes and I'd just throw dishes and furniture) in two week's time, guaranteed. So down with Sirius. *crack* (That was not Sirius hitting bottom, but my freshly superglued heart splintering into teensy splinters again. Ow.)
Marrying Remus is probably not an ideal arrangement - because I'm sadly allergic to furry pets, and also because I'm forgetful as hell, which is pretty impractical for someone who can't miss that nightly dose of Wolfsbane potion - but I'd do it anyway, because I fell hopelessly in love with book!Remus back when I read "Prisoner of Azkaban". And shagging Snape doesn't sound bad at all; be it movie!Snape, not book!Snape, because the latter never pushed any of my buttons.
maspalio went for the Ninth Doctor (New Who), Luke Skywalker (SW), and Gimli (LOTR)
Only one answer to that, really. Luke was my childhood sweetheart (well, early teenage sweetheart), so I couldn't not marry him! *goes all mellow and melancholy about Luke* He also doesn't seem like the one-night-stand type to me; at least, not the Luke of the later movies, which is what I'd be going for...
And while I'm sure dwarves have extraordinary stamina, it's just, um... No. Sorry. Dwarf sex sounds even more daunting than Narn sex - I mean, would he even take off the armour during the act? So it'll have to be the cliff for Gimli - but no worries, I'm sure he'll bounce right back, sturdy fellow that he is - and give me Nine to shag anytime. If only Rose isn't around to come waltzing in on us, because that would be one unhappy ending. :)
