Am I ever going to pass up an opportunity to babble extensively about AWESOME LADIES? The answer is: no, I most certainly am not!

Therefore, stolen from in_the_blue and a few other people by now: name a canon you know I know, and I'll tell you (in no particular order) my three favorite females and why. And then I'll name a canon for you, because I'm just ( Read more... )

(And once had an ADVENTURE of her own! And I hope if there are movie sequels that we will get to see Mary being clever and active and full of agency. It is my dearest wish!)

Mrs. Hudson: She puts up with SO MUCH from her tenants. You have to sympathize. D: How she has not yet kicked them out is an EXCELLENT question. And yet nonetheless (in book-canon at least) she is unfailingly polite and very sweet! I am awfully fond of her.

Hmmmm, give me . . . Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals!
