life is not a song

Name: Rachel
Location: UK
If You could describe yourself in five words, what would they be?: camera-toting, dessert-eating medievalist.

What other fandoms are you currently squeeing about?: The Walking Dead, Community, Ringer, Homeland are my current shows of choice! Various other fandoms past and present: Buffy, Firefly, Sherlock, Glee (so many issues with it atm though), Mad Men (yeaaah nearly back!!), The Wire, Carnivale, The Dark Tower, Labyrinth, 19th century literature, all things medieval...
What are you interested in? (hobbies, things you like and spend a lot of time doing, etc.)?: Travel, cooking, reading, writing, running estdeus_innobis, cinema, theatre, tv-geeking...
What is your journal primarily full of?: day to day life of a young academic.
What kind of friends are you looking for?: Positive, intelligent people with a wide range of interests.
Are you active in other places such as Twitter/Tumblr/Dreamwidth?: Yep! And if we become friends I can give you those details. ;)

you win or you die

The books, the show, or both? How spoiled are you?: Only read the first couple of books but I'm fairly heavily spoiled. I'm a show fan, though, much more than a book fan. I feel like the show brings depth to it that sometimes GRRM's clunky writing doesn't. (*awaits rotten vegetables being thrown*)
What house would you put yourself in, and why?: STARK. Because having lived for 9 years in Yorkshire I sympathise with their northern ways. And they have the most integrity. The cold would bother me, I admit. Robb (show!Robb, not book!Robb) can keep me warm... ;)
Favorite Characters: Tyrion, the Starks generally, Bronn, Varys, Littlefinger...
Favorite Ships: Robb/Jon, Ned/Catelyn, Robert/Ned (unrequited!), Varys/Littlefinger (not that I've ever seen anyone write this), Tyrion/Bronn (likewise)
Least Favorite Characters and Ships: Daenerys/Drogo, Sansa/men who are too old for her, rapey pairings in general :S
Which character you think deserves a POV, but didn't get one?: Robb!
Who would you like to see on the Iron Throne in the end?: By that point probably everyone I love in the series will be dead, so eh.
Who would you bet on surviving the series?: I have a feeling maybe Jon, since GRRM does seem to love him especially... IDK. All bets are off with our evil overlord.
What is your ideal ending for the series?:

QUICK! Post some of your favorite gifs:

It's fucking Baltimore man. dulcedeusex March 23 2012, 14:08:36 UTC
So you know Baltimore would bring the Medievality (I know that's not a word)... You know those guys would totally adjust to Westeros faster than you could say, "Where's Wallace!?"

Like Omar... I'd have my money on him sitting on that throne. Marlow and Stringer Bell and LESTER could give all them little bitches on the chessboard a good run for their money too.

Ugh, I totally want to write this now. Hmmmm... Plot bunnies. And Omar... My feelings for Omar are complex and immense.



Now imagining that shopped into the Iron Throne.

As are mine! What happened to Omar makes sense from a story-telling point of view but since I decided he was gonna make it to the end, you can understand why I was gutted. As for the GoT/The Wire fic... Does this mean you're writing it? *wink wink, hint hint*

Sansa/men who are too old for her

Pretty sums up my entire feelings for the Sansa pairings I've seen!

We have a ton of shows in common and I would love another Rob/Jon shipper on my flist, so friends? :D

Feel free! :) Though I will warn you that my journal is mostly life stuff - I do blog tv things but not extensively.
