Please - pimp my poll? (the angst-queen run-off)
So, in honor of liviapenn's post requesting Really epic hurt-comfort-- recs?, a totally subjective poll asking the eternal question, "In [fill-in-blank fandom] fanfic, who *suffers* better?!" Possible fandoms are limited to my biggest fandoms because I don't know who the angst!queens are in other fandoms; possible responses are kinda skewed because I'm a

Actually, if you want to nominate a different fandom/character, please do so. I'm very multi-fandom, but I still barely scratched the surface of all the different fandoms where angst rules.
As far as Jim and Blair, I think Blair gets hurt/kidnapped more often, but Jim *suffers* more. He's a total drama queen/angst queen, while Blair is actually pretty sane and well-balanced. Blair worries when Jim gets hurt, and hurts when he himself gets hurt. But Jim? Jim *suffers*.
Jim *suffers* when he himself gets hurt, he *suffers* when Blair gets hurt, he *suffers* when he does Blair an injustice, he *suffers* when he gets confronted by his past, he *suffers* when when old friends show up (and usually get killed), he practically *suffers* when the mail gets delivered late. (I love Jim, but he's a total angst!queen.) Mostly, he suffers *silently* until Blair forces him to talk about it, then he suffers more while he's talking about it because he has to talk about it as well as because of whatever "it" is. He's a big muscular ball of repression and angst with a lovely sprinkling of humor and compassion on top (hidden under the anger issues). Bless him!
Since I don't have a Sentinel icon or a panther icon, I'm using my angry baby tiger icon. Jim's a little more dangerous than that, though....
