NOES you must worship at the altar of River how dare you defile her name I'm gonna get all my friends to flame you!!!!111

lol. You have to poke me about something I actually am high-strung about before I take your head off on account of a fictional character. At least, I hope your multiple disclaimers were not targeted at me.

[jheti]

Ah, no. It's just that Everyone But Me (TM) worships at River's altar, and I've had people I don't know pop up at least twice now, and I'm on a Firefly 'list, and IT IS MAKING ME TEH PARANOID.

Ever since that one chick like, LJSeeked me several weeks after the fact because she thought I was trying to flame her, I've been a lot more patronizingly obvious with my fic!post's disclaimers and general flame-repellant.

I think some friends of friends of hers have come back and poked the journal, too, though I'm not positive on that one.

Although if you really want to get in a fight about River, it's not like I can stop you. *Shrug.*

[nyohah]

We can fight for fun, if you want, but I don't think I would enjoy it much.

[jheti]

Oh, there you go, refusing to battle wits with the unarmed!

/sly legpull. ^_~

No, no, no. If you wouldn't like to, let's don't, since I sometimes get carried away and etc. and no let's be shiny friends. Besides, River's my third-favorite anyway (she was edged out by Wash...they duel for third regularly...) ^_^

Maybe we could bicker about Inara? Because edibility aside I still don't like her? It'd be tough to do mock-battle over a character I do in fact like.

(Personal pecking-order goes Jayne, Kaylee, Wash, River, Mal, Simon, Zoe, Book, Reavers, Everyone Else, The Random Whores, Inara, That Poor Boy In Jaynestown Who Gets Shot. Give or take the bit players whose names I can't remember that have bad British-hoodlum accents. XD)

[nyohah]

Hmm, I can't really rank mine, but here they are in no definite order within their hierarchical groups:
Favorite: River.
Yay!: Mal, Jayne, Wash.
Eh: Kaylee, Zoe, Inara, Simon, Book.
No!: ...

So they all end up in the ambivalent group, actually, which isn't to say that I don't like them and they don't amuse me greatly from time to time, but they don't hold any particular amount of fondness, either. I was considering an intermediate category to put Simon in, but I couldn't think of anything to call it.

[nyohah]

That just reminded me that my history teacher said "hierarchical" one day, and it made me happy 'cause I'd never heard anyone actually say it, and the person sitting next to me couldn't spell it at all.

[jheti]

I meant to ask several bajillion days ago but school derailed me.

How exactly is it pronounced? I'm very curious; I've never heard it before and have tried to say it but can't. XD

(It comes out "Herairikical? Herarikal? Herikikik *gets stuck on noise* DAMN IT!" , if you were wondering.)

[nyohah]

I believe it is "hear-arc-i-cal". It is hard to say, which is why it's so great when someone actually says it.
