OH MY GOD I AM BORED. I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR AN HOUR AND THE PHONE HASN'T RUNG ONCE. What. The hell. It's a normal day!! It's eerily quiet everywhere. And I'm all on my own because almost everyone is still off. I am so bringing Brock tomorrow. I need to occupy myself, dude.
Also, we must be ~economising~ or something, because it is freezing in here. Why is it that human beings are an apparently intelligent race and yet we do not hibernate? I find this ridiculous.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY. So I stole a meme from
fuyu_ginga. I'm pretty sure I've done this but I have no fucking clue what the questions were, so;
List 10 different fictional characters from any fandom/s you like, and don't peek at the questions until you're done.
01. Lisa Cuddy
02. Dwight Schrute
03. Sookie Stackhouse
04. Hank Moody
05. Olive Snook
06. Gregory House
07. Andy Bernard
08. David Fisher
09. Liz Lemon
10. Niles Crane
01. Would 4 (Hank Moody) make a good mom/dad?
HA, interesting question, since he is a dad. I think in some areas he excels, I think in others he's something of a disaster. But Becca adores him unconditionally and he tries. I think it's a realistic relationship and it's one of my favourite dymanics on television.
02. If 2 (Dwight Schrute) and 6 (Gregory House) are marooned on an island together, do they kiss or kill one another?
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD, I LOL'D. I would pay good money to see this. Like seriously, can you even imagine how big of a moron House would see Dwight as? MY GOD. SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE A CROSS OVER DRABBLE IN WHICH DWIGHT IS A CLINIC PATIENT. I WOULD DIE. I don't care if the Schrute immune system is so strong that this would be an impossiblity. TAKE ARTISTIC LICENSE.
03. Describe 5 (Olive Snook) and 1's (Lisa Cuddy) first kiss.
WTH, why is this meme turning out so slashy?!! Now, see, if this was the sort of thing that floats my boat, I'd say it would be hot. I am struggling to even think of a reason this would ever, ever happen. Olive would have to be undercover or something. I have no idea.
04. How does 8 (David Fisher) convince 7 (Andy Bernard) to go with him/her on a date?
SDHFGASDJKHF SO SLASHY, LMAO. AND THIS KILLS ME ANYWAY. You know, he could probably flat out ask him (David being gay, this is weirdly appropriate) and Andy would go along with it without even realising he was on a date, his Gaydar BLOWS. As does his general sense of human relationships. He'd just think he made a new friend. It would be kind of amazing.
05. 10 (Liz Lemon) is moving in with 9 (Niles Crane). What do they fight about the most?
*SCREAMS* THIS IS THE BEST MEME EVER. I'd like a fic about this too, please. Though I'm not sure anyone would be up for writing that, lol. Oh, food. It would have to be a food issue. I am sure Niles would have issues with Liz spilling. She's a klutz. And he would no doubt have problems with the presence of boxes of penis pasta and bags of Sabor de Soledad in his kitchen.
06. 2 (Dwight Schrute) and 7 (Andy Bernard) are together. Who is more protective of the other??
OH SWEET BABY JESUS, THIS MEME. To think I almost put Angela for 2 or 7. Think of the fun imagery that would have deprived you all of :(
It would have to be Andy, wouldn't it? Alternatively, Dwight could be more protective so as to lull Andy into a false sense of security. And then he would DESTROY HIM. Poor bb.
07. Who is first going to say "I love you", 1 (Lisa Cuddy) or 9 (Liz Lemon)?
Seriously, I put a mix of men and women on this thing. WHY ALL THE SLASH? I AM SO ENTERTAINED RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU, MEME. Liz, it would have to be Liz. I mean, they're both emotionally fucked up but Cuddy has hxc issues with opening up whereas Liz probably has hxc issues with NOT opening up. Liz isn't quiet or subtle about her emotions, lol. I can totally see a girlcrush and "I LOVE YOU" spilling out in a totally Lemonesque manner. But then I am of the impression that everyone crushes on Cuddy, so.
08. What would 8 (David Fisher) like to change about 10 (Niles Crane)? Does 10 approve?
HEE, I'm not sure he'd want to make changes, really. He'd maybe want him to be a little less uptight, but I think David can be kind of uptight anyway.
09. Who suffers from pre-wedding jitters, 5 (Olive Snook) or 8 (David Fisher)? How does bridesmaid/best man 10 (Niles Crane) soothe them?
Well since David is gay, I'm thinking he's the one with the jitters. I'm pretty sure Niles would have issues with soothing any jitters; and the one time he was supposed to was for Daphne and look how that turned out. Burn. I very much doubt anyone could or should soothe these jitters, though. Lol
10. Your team is 3 (Sookie Stackhouse), 6 (Gregory House) and 10 (Niles Crane). The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?
OH, OH FUN!! Also, fucking easy. Sookie is a little BAMF, so she would absolutely have to do the physical challenge. Niles moves (with mixed success, admittedly) in ~sophisticated~ circles and is horrendous at most sports and such - so he'd have to do the social challenge. House is a genius and dire in social situations. And he has a bum leg. he clearly gets the mental one. SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A NO BRAINER.
11. 4 (Hank Moody) becomes 1's (Lisa Cuddy's) boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?
FRAUGHT WITH SEXUAL TENSION. SJKGHSKJDHGSDFJ I CANNOT EVEN I CANNOT EVEN, YOU SHOULD SEE MY FACE. No meme should make a person this happy. MOAR FIC REQUESTING. MOOOAAAARRRR!!1!
12. 2 (Dwight Schrute) finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's (Gregory House's) continuity. As far as anyone other than 2 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?
I cannot even begin to imagine how they could EVER connect/co-exist. Dwight would have to be a patient. Like, a recurring clinic patient with hypochondria.
13. 3 (Sookie Stackhouse) and 8 (David Fisher) are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?
I kinda think they'd get along really well. And they're both pretty smart and she's very resourceful. I swear she's practically a superhero in my head. Such is the level of my adoration. I think they could totally do it, dude.
14. 9 (Liz Lemon) and 5 (Olive Snook) get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?
Oh, for cute! I bet they'd both wish for fairly ridiculous things, though Olive may have some more sentimental ideas. I have no doubt that she'd want to wish for Ned to fall in love with her. I kinda feel like Liz would agree on that in exchange for the other 2 wishes. Compromise, let me show you it. Honestly I don't think I know Liz well enough to make a call for her. I do not possess the comic genius of Ms Fey.
15. 1 (Lisa Cuddy) and 2 (Dwight Schrute) are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4 (Hank Moody). They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any code vs. killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?
Well considering Dwight's low level of competence in such matters, I doubt he'd be a match for Hank. And Hank could probably seduce Cuddy. The woman hasn't gotten laid in years and it's Hank Moody. Though I imagine this would end up working in her favour, you prolly don't want to go fucking someone who's trying to kill you. So Hank would probably have no chance. Win-win for Cuddy.
THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN :D
OK, IT HAS NOW BEEN 2 AND A HALF HOURS. STILL. NOT. A SINGLE. PHONE CALL. We did just get a fax. Thrilling. Let's have ANOTHER MEME, THEN;
Six ships you're into right now.
1. House/Cuddy, duh
2. Ned/Olive
3. Chase/Cameron
4. Michael/Holly
5. Bill/Sookie
6. Elphaba/Fiyero
Three ships you liked, but don't like anymore.
7. House/Cameron - BEAR WITH ME ON THIS.
8. Jan/Michael
9. Ned/Chuck
Four ships you never liked.
10. Roz/Frasier
11. Sam/Sookie
12. Andy/Angela
13. Wilson/Cuddy
Two ships you're curious about, but don't actually ship.
14. Hank/Karen
15. ~Fourteen~
Why do you dislike 11 (Sam/Sookie) so much?
Ugh, he kind of creeps me out? The whole (mostly) unrequited love thing is just in whole new and scary territory with Sam. He's so pushy and sjdfsjdfh DNW DNW. Also, I love Bill/Sookie, so...
Who is someone you know that ships 14 (Hank/Karen)?
I think most people do, actually. I think Liss & Allie do?
What would be your ideal scenario for couple 3?
I'm not actually all that bothered. I enjoy them when we see them interact (though I didn't last season, I would have put them in the second category back then) but that's about it. THINKING OF SIX SHIPS I AM CURRENTLY INTO WAS ODDLY DIFFICULT. I'd be down with a quiet, happy existence. Marriage and babies, white picket fences, the golden retriever. They're peripheral now, they can be happy. Let them be happy.
Which is your favorite moment for couple 1 (House/Cuddy)?
OH MY GOD SHUT UP. This would have been easier to answer a year ago. Before she gave him CPR, before she stripped in his head, before she held his hand and slept in a ball by his bedside, before they kissed and before all of the fallout. I have like 847534 new #1 moments from this season alone. If pushed to choose a favourite moment ever - sprinkles included, the kiss, and him putting her med school desk in her refurbished office (even though he wasn't in that scene, lol). I think. I CANNOT narrow it down from there.
How long have you been following couple 6 (Elphaba/Fiyero)?
Well it's not on-going, but I read the book almost a year ago. IT FEELS LIKE SO MUCH LONGER. But yeah, I'm just really into them and Wicked in general right now.
What's the story with 8 (Jan/Michael)? What made you stop liking them/caring?
Holly was a big part of it, I think. She was just so amazing and perfect. And Astrid, what the fuck. I was so sure there would be a point to that storyline and there hasn't been, yet. Jan just isn't the Jan she used to be, it's sad. I watched The Coup this morning. I miss old Jan. Though I'm not missing her being in the episodes this season in the slightest, tbh. I never think "OH NOES, JAN WASN'T IN IT FOR THE 247834TH WEEK IN A ROW!!"
You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from 10 (Roz/Frasier) or 12 (Andy/Angela).
Andy/Angela, without question. Roz and Frasier were wonderful as friends and there is nothing about them that I would change. I just never supported the idea of them being together romantically and I'm glad they didn't ultimately go with it. Andy/Angela on the other hand I will never, ever understand and feel that it has decimated one of my favourite characters and they've made Dwight/Angela into... something they're not.
Which ship do you prefer 2 (Ned/Olive) or 4 (Michael/Holly)?
That's really fucking difficult sdfhgsjdf!! Umm, at this current moment in time I'm really loving Ned/Olive. Comfort Food ("HEY! CLEAN THOUGHTS, PAL", "partner", hobbits with jet packs, ETERNAL FLAME!! ♥) and The Norwegians (THE ENTRY TITLE/CUT, I FUCKING DIED. DIED) were especially brilliant for them. And earlier on, Bad Habits. I melted when he apologised to her for the way he's treated her.
... I know it will never really happen (I mean... it kind of can't now, fail) but I think it could have worked and I love Olive and djfsdg. The recent episodes have been wonderful for them. I just find them really interesting and heartbreaking and tragic. And I love everythign Cheno has said about them lately, too.
What interests you about 15 (Foreman/Thirteen)?
Lol, this was a jooooke. Nothing, I find absolutely nothing interesting about this ship. Quite the opposite. But on a personal in-jokey level, I love the shit out of them and I couldn't think of anything else to go in this slot, lol.
Why did you stop liking 7 (House/Cameron)?
LOLOL. This was brief. I picked up House when 1x10 aired here. I was done with this ship by 1x19, and I watched them all in a short period of time because I bought the DVDs pretty much right off the bat. I liked House/Cameron AND House/Cuddy. Then Cameron lost all of my respect when she quit because she could only deal if he liked her back. He didn't, so she quit. SERIOUSLY? Then she bribed him into taking her on a date because him citing her being good at her job, him needing her in a professional capacity - wasn't enough of a reason to go back. She pushed him on the date, she was smug about it all with Chase and Foreman, she was just... Out of her depth, stupid, weak... And I just do not see how they could ever be compatible. GOD I could go on about this forever. Then while all this shit was happening, we got the beautifully un-romanticised and complicated House/Cuddy in Babies & Bathwater. Heart was won.
Did your waning interest in 9 (Ned/Chuck) kill your interest in the show?
Brifely, yes. I think that given too much attention they drag the show down and make it too saccharine or excessively angsty in a suuuuper annoying way. I don't think there's much middle ground. This show excels when they use the ensemble to their full potential. Or like, focus on Olive. Because if you don't think she's the best thing about this show, you are lying to yourself.
What's a song that reminds you of 5 (Bill/Sookie)?
Yeaaah, I can't say I have a song for them :/
If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?
House/Cuddy and Hank/Karen. Just... think about it.
Have 2 kissed yet?
Yes! *Points at icon*
Did 4 (Michael/Holly) have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
*CRIES* BRING HER BAAAAAACK :( :( :(
What would make you start shipping 14 (Hank/Karen)?
Nothing, honestly. I am fascinated by them, but it's so complicated and beyond my understanding that I don't know that I could ever actively ship them. I just love them for exactly what they are.
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, 2 (Ned/Olive) or 6 (Elphaba/Fiyero)?
Elphaba/Fiyero. That level of destiny and love and tragedy... it just doesn't apply to Olive and Ned. Plus, Ned loves Chuck. So.
You have the power to decide the fate of 10 (Roz/Frasier). What happens to them?
Exactly what actually happened. I would not change a thing.
Which do you dislike the most?
Andy/Angela, no contest.
Which of these ships do you love the most?
Like I should even need to answer this. Even taking into consideration all of the epic ships not on this list that I love and have loved - nothing so much as matches House/Cuddy.
I have miraculously now wasted 4 hours. No, the phone still has not rung. There was someone here from 8am, and it hasn't rung since then, either. I am genuinely concerned that it's broken. We are looking into it...
