My own personal canon.

[flaming_muse]

I'm not one for memes, but this one looks fun. If you give me a character or a pairing, I'll tell you five-ish things that are a part of my own personal canon about him/her/them*. BtVS, AtS, Firefly, SGA, SG-1, due South, Sports Night are all up for grabs. Did I forget a fandom I've written (if not posted) in? Try me

You've mentioned him in passing, but Jayne.

[flaming_muse]

The man they call Jayne!

1. Jayne knows he's a uncouth, uncultured lout. That doesn't mean he can't appreciate pretty and refined when he sees it; even a blind man can tell the different between cake and wholemeal bread. He'd be happy to watch Simon (or Mal or even Kaylee, who sure is pretty even if she ain't refined) all day. He's entranced by them.

2. After Kaylee went to her ball in her big fluffy dress, Jayne tried dancing with air in his quarters. He tripped on his feet and fell flat on his bunk.

3. Jayne would die for Mal. He'd rather not, all things considered, but Mal's the first captain he's had who has treated him as part of the crew instead of just as muscle. He's inspired Jayne's loyalty... at least to a point.

4. He does not understand what Zoe sees in Wash. It's obvious what Wash sees in her, but since she gave him a black eye the one time he tried to make a move on her he's not going to go into details about her assets

Wonderful! I must confess a warm and fuzzy spot in my heart for Jayne in the "no you nitwit" *thwap* kind of way.

Rather like Andrew and early Wes on Buffy, actually. They have that thing where they're like the puppy with the too-big feet that trip them and you know they're going to fall and land on their noses and yet, still funny. (Only usually in an emotional/abstract sense, if that makes sense.)

Oh, thwapping with love - I understand it well. :) I squish them all... and then thwap them and give them another hug to make it better. :)

[katestamps]

Exactly!

Similarly, would you do Xander?

[flaming_muse]

It'd be my pleasure

ALL so true. And I'm gonna be giggling over the "it's all Willow's fault" thing for a week. If she hadn't interrupted, that one time with Jesse, then Xander and Willow might never have gotten together at all and then she'd have never gotten so fed up with boys and so it is ALL HER FAULT. (I love her, but in Xander-world it has to all be all her fault because they're just five with each other, except when they're hot for each other. And even then, we're not solidly into first-grader maturity, you know?)

Again with the awwwww *thwap* thing. Is it possible to have your favorite pairing be "thwapable"?

[katestamps]

Also the icon! With the car and the glasses and the....

*splodes from the cute*

[flaming_muse]

He's such a cutie! :)

[flaming_muse]

Xander is many things, and I love him to pieces, but he's so not mature about some things. :)

Thwapable seems perfectly normal to me!
