book stuff, day five of fabulous fictional females, links to previous picspams
So I'm maybe a third of the way into Eldest, the second book in the Eragon series, and I'm finding that I'm utterly charmed by the idea of Eragon and Arya as a romantic pair... in spite of the HUGE age difference. He's sixteen, she's one hundred. Also, she's basically immortal. He's going to have a much longer life span than most humans, barring anything unusual, but still.
Anyway, I wanted to mention this because it's all Doctor Who's fault! Or maybe it's River Song's fault--whatever it was that made me like the idea of River/Doctor. I blame that. Heh.
By the way, it's just pining (from Eragon) so far. Arya is fairly inscrutable. I'm actually pretty pleased with pining. It's a great stage! (Er, for characters in books and movies. Real life? Not so much.)
Day five of my favorite fictional female characters is in a different location. The new livejournal comm awesome_women was doing a "Who would you want on your side in a fight" theme, so I took advantage of that and wrote about why I would want Kara Thrace on my side in a fight. (Short answer: because she's awesome.)
And since Kara is always my favorite, I'll take this moment to mention two other Kara posts I've made: My love for Kara Thrace, with pictorial evidence and Kara Thrace's ponytail: an ode in picspam form.
If you're very observant, you'll notice a certain amount of picture borrowing between these three posts. I was way too busy and tired to look for lots of new caps last night.
