A whole long lifetime could have been the end
Wow, I managed not to do a meme for over a month! Not that I was really trying not to- quite the opposite, actually, but still! Sometimes I get annoyed with myself, like I don't have anything to talk about, all I want to do is play silly lj games. But can I help it when they're so fun and interesting so often? No.
Anyway! From, most recently, visiblemarket:
1.) Comment to this and I will give you 3 fictional characters.
2.) Decide of the 3 whom you would marry, do, and dump cliff.
3.) Post this meme to your journal with your answers.
Marry: Rober Fischer, Inception
Umm, 'cuz he's super rich, and looks like Cillian Murphy? Admittedly, he's a little on the bland side, but I doubt we'd see all that much of each other while he does his business stuff.
Shag: Ruby Rhod, Fifth Element
Hear me out! If you watched the movie, you know he's pretty talented in that particular department- remember the flight attendant? So, yeah. Though I might tape his mouth shut first, if I think there's a chance for any high-pitched shrieking. And that ridiculous blond pompadour is a dealbreaker too.
Cliff: Future!Peter, Heroes
Like he wouldn't be perfectly fine! Anyway, look at him- is that a guy you want to spend any time with, whether for the course of a one-night stand or for the rest of your life? No. Sorry, Future!Peter, but you look like one big ball of bitter manpain. Color me uninterested.
Two for the price of one! I did this whole meme once a while ago, but it accidentally got deleted, so I half-way did it again later, but, well, it's really one of those memes that demand... I dunno, immediacy. It gets stale if you leave it alone and then you have to start all over. Anyway, for the third and final time, here's this, stolen aaages ago from hermione_vader:
1. Write down 20 of your favorite OTPs
2. Put your media player on shuffle. The number of the song corresponds to the number of the OTPs.
3. Quote a part of the song that you think has any similarity with the story of the couple.
4. Comment.
1. Peter/Claude- “Don’t Stop” by The Rolling Stones
I.. guess this is in a trough of their rocky relationship. Aw, boys.
Well the only thing I ask of you
is to hand me back some pride
Don't you dump me on some dusty street
and hang me out to dry
2. Zoe/Wash- “Settle Down” by Zwan
Heh, I like this. That tension you saw sometimes between them of wanting to start a family, but not feeling like they could given the whole space pirates thing.
Settle down, don't settle down without me, no, no
Settle down, I'll settle down for good, yeah
Settle down, I'll settle down around you, yeah, yeah
Settle down, I'll settle down for sure, yeah
3. Sherlock/John- “Hold On” by Jet
Umm, I guess when Sherlock's feeling self-conscious about his freakiness and hides in cases and whatnot?
When it’s hard to be yourself it’s not to be someone else
Still everything’s so far away that you forget where you are, you are
4. Amy/Rory/Doctor- “Bleed American” by Jimmy Eat World
Uhhh, they all get mind-wiped and dumped in a Metropolis-like dystopia?
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt
Our hearts littering the topsoil
Tune in and we can get the last call
Our lives, our coal
5. Ned/Chuck- “Doginabag” by The Fratellis
Aww, I'd say here's Ned at his most cynical and depressed, where even Chuck's sunniness is just abnormal to him.
I guess you could say it's a sick little show,
a bottle of troubles and a bed full of woe
It's easy to see without looking too far,
you’d have to be a saint to be as sick as you are
6. Shawn/Lassiter- “Crazy in Love” by Snow Patrol
*snort* PERFECT. Especially that last line. "Nobody else to impress" indeed.
When I talk to my friends so quietly,
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me,
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress,
If you ain't there ain't nobody else to impress
7. Victor/Sierra- “One of these Things First” by Nike Drake
This is a scary perfect one, considering. Actually, I think this fits better with "Epitaph Two" than during their active days.
I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend
A whole long lifetime could have been the end
8. Alice/Hatter- “Sunshine” by Keane
Obviously, Hatter feeling all protective of Alice, during and probably after everything.
I hold you in cupped hands
and shield you from a storm
where only some dumb idiot
would let you go
9. Matt/Mohinder- “Sleeping Citizens” by Paloalto
Eh, I think this is more about their separate feelings of confusion and inadequacy, more than them as a couple. But ain't that always the way? *wistful sigh*
Safe, I'm walking out the door
My head's doing somersaults
I don't know if I'm clean
Run, I'm jumping off the fence
I'm halfway to pay the rent
I can't make it out here
10. Margaret/Thornton- “Sh-Boop” by Brendan Hines
Thornton traveling to Helstone, clearly.
I won’t need any baggage, I left it all behind
I prefer to travel unencumbered
This fact’ll cost me too by the time I get to you, it’s been weeks since the last time I slumbered
No nightmares, no dreams, only visions of that stoop
Aw to hell with all these big words- sh-boop, sh-boop
11. Wendy/Tyler- “The Canada Song” by Mike and the Bots
Wendy and Tyler being culture snobs, mostly.
Oh, I wish I was in the land that gave us Peter Jennings,
Alanis Morissette, Mike Myers, too
No, I take that back, I wouldn't go there even if you paid me,
Oh, Canada, you are a place I must eschew
12. Peter/Neal/El- “Amber” by 311
Peter and El trying to convince Neal that it's okay to have a home with them. Aww.
You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence,
unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily,
sometimes you've got to fight
13. Lacey/MM- “Rainbows in the Dark” by Tilly and the Wall
Hmm, more just Lacey than Lacey/MM, but oh well.
So I thank the city, the lights that it's spinning
The friends that I have and the shoes we’re not shining
The drunk horns so violent, all spitting out sounds
But the colors so vibrant, the colors so loud
14. Sam/Sybil- “Witchcraft” by Frank Sinatra
Heh, I bet Sam marvels sometimes that he's managed to fall into a happy marriage with a woman like Sybil. Probably seems a bit like magic to him.
It's such an ancient pitch,
but one I wouldn't switch,
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
15. Ted/Veronica- “Winter Calls” by The Rifles
I think this might be from Veronica's POV, trying to deal with having more feelings for Ted than she wants.
And yes it hurts to know that I am not your obligation,
but I don't want to spend a lifetime waiting
And if I'm happy 'cause you say you are, I'd be lying
And every time I close my eyes I'm hearing warning sirens
The thought of you in someone else's arms and I feel violent
And if I said I was a man, then maybe I was a fool
16. Aziraphale/Crowley- “Can’t Get Enough” by Bad Company
Umm, sex, mostly. Oh that Crowley.
Well, I take whatever I want
and, baby, I want you
You give me something I need
Now tell me I got something for you
17. Dan/Laurie- “The Fabulist” by Nathan Johnson & the Cinematic Underground
I guess their various identity issues.
If the world is a stage
and we’re all of us actors in some cosmic play
then I am the man at the masquerade
who was fake
18. Mirror Wendy/West- “Solsbury Hill” by Peter Gabriel
Oh jeez, so, maybe like a super mega happy ending where they give up this life of megalomania and run away together? Yeah, maybe not.
So I went from day to day
Thought my life was in a rut
‘til I thought of what I'd say
which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
19. Noah/Sandra- “Ice King” by Res
Ouch. Hurts because it's true.
I've given until I break
The ground beneath us quakes
How can we grow when we've only begun?
Forsaken beneath the sun
20. Arthur/Eames- “I Want You to Want Me” by Cheap Trick
Heh, I dunno, I like them more snarky, less.. desperate. But I guess the references to clothes and altered appearances is Arthur/Eames-ish.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me
