The IC What's In A Name? Meme
A rose by any other name might smell just as sweet, but you might not want to find out if its name were 'stinkflower'. Names have meanings and evoke certain thoughts and reactions through each individual's experience ( Read more... )

This one, for starters. daredtodo. James T. Kirk, Captain. When I stumbled upon it as an idea for a Kirk journal, I was immediately impressed with my brain. Because there's something about it, to me, that just screams Kirk, especially this rebooted version. It's a play off of Pike's infamous dare to do better, of course. But it represents more than that, to me, at least. A dare is something childish, taken up because you refuse to let anyone get away with calling you chicken. And Jim? Half the time, he's just a kid in over his head. Certainly mine acts that way, destressing most often in silly, immature ways. Nothing to cause harm, just working a little on that screwed up childhood of his, fifteen years later. The other side of having been dared to do something is that, hell yeah, he done done it. Dare him to boldly go where no one has gone before? He'll do it without batting an eye.
Some of my other favourites in my personal arsenal of journals/muses:
atanadvantage, my Spock. You think he's going to be upset that you've insulted his mother and called his human ancestry a disadvantage? Well, excuse you, being a child of both worlds it the hugest advantage he knows. And he will so show you up with this half-breed body and mind of his.
mostofteninred, my Star Trek, might-as-well-be-OC redshirt, Lieutenant Leslie. In Original Series canon, he's see performing a number of jobs, from Engineer to Navigator to Medical Technician to Security. He's a bit departmentally challenged. In one episode, he appears to die. And, yet, he's still around until the actor has to quit. Longest-living redshirt without a constant place in plot or first name. So, yeah, the poor guy may be wearing that ill-fated colour most days, but, haha, in your face, fate, he's not dying anytime soon.
very1967ofyou, my Rodney McKay, of Stargate: Atlantis fame. He's a dork. He's a huge dork. And aside from sharing my headspace with a crapton of Star Trek characters, making this LOL-arious on that level, there's something about him that knows his flaws, knows he's not the suavest guy ever and once, just once, might like to be Prince Charming, rather than always letting the team's Kirk do it.
ETA: If I missed any you want me to talk about, give a poke!
