I want to write about Civil War, but seeing Tony smash Cap's face in pleased me too much to let me rant at all.
Have a meme instead.
Write down twelve of your favorite characters. Number the list. Then click the cut for cracktastic questions. (Don't look at the questions before you've come up with the list or else you'll spoil it.)
1. Teddy Altman (Hulkling; Young Avengers)
2. Billy Kaplan (Wiccan; Young Avangers)
3. Gert Yorkes (Runaways)
4. Piotr Rasputin (Colossus; Ultimate X-Men)
5. Victor Mancha (Runaways)
6. Remy LeBeau (Gambit; X-Men)
7. Bobby Drake (Iceman; X-Men)
8. Dirk Anger (Nextwave)
9. Lobo (a number of DC titles)
10. Kon El (Superboy; Teen Titans)
11. Tim Drake (Robin; Teen Titans)
12. Sunako Nakahara (Wallflower)
1. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
I haven't. That would be an odd crossover, and I'm not sure how that would work unless Tim was, I don't know, Bobby's cousin or something. It could be amusing, if done right, or at least amusingly GAFFy.
2. Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Yes, but since I put him down thinking of the Ultimate version, he's also queer as a three dollar bill. Gosh, big gay Peter is cute beyond all belief, though.
3. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
I would laugh. Or cry. Dirk's in a Warren Ellis comic, it could happen. I doubt they'd get along well, but they both have a penchant for violence, and Dirk certainly isn't pretty enough to make Sunako freak out about a "creature of light." I think they might make a frighteningly stable couple. Their kid would be screwed up for life-- that its mom was male and its dad was female would be the LEAST of the kid's problems.
4. Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?
"Last Sons", by Alan Grant. It's an official novel, which means that it's fanfiction someone got paid for writing.
5. Would Two and Six make a good couple?
Uhm, the geeky gay boy from New York and the slick, Cajun street rat? Completely leaving aside the fact that Billy's already got a boyfriend, Remy's way too old for him. And, well, Billy's more of the law-abiding type. Remy might be a tempting piece, with the whole bad boy look, but it would never work out.
6. Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
HOLY CRAP, NEITHER. Victor's a flipping geek. Lobo would probably make him twitch, and-- well, it's Superboy. If the walking pop culture encyclopedia didn't flip out over meeting Superboy, I don't know who would. Besides, all three are straight as arrows.
7. What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
He'd probably laugh and walk out again. Bobby's cool with the facts of life. The real question is why a flaming queer like Billy would ever have sex with a chick-- and a chick like Sunako, no less. And why Sunako would EVER have sex, much less with a prettyboy like Billy.
8. Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
Holy crap.
Victor asked Gert if he could play around with her folks' old time machine, and Gert, bored decided to hang out and snark at him. Unfortunately for all involved,the machine was boobytrapped. The droid got himself out of the way in time, but Gert and Old Lace didn't-- and, by the power of Deus ex Machina, found themselves sprawled on a couch in Titans Tower. Robin was naturally supicious, but Raven vouched for her. Gert found the angsty nature of the Titans to be completely anathema and decided to do something about it, mostly so that she wouldn't go completely insane before Robin found a way to get her home, and snarked at Kon, stopping him dead in his tracks with the force of her annoyance and snarky wit. Trading stories back and forth, they learn how much they have in common-- Gert pulled Kon out of his funk, and Kon helped her acclimate to the Titans. Eventually, though, Gert returns for her own dimension, a little wiser, and Kon decides to take her advice and go for the person he's really in love with.
It's more of a gen/friendship fic, but still. XD
9. Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?
HELL NAW. I don't think there's Dirk fluff ANYWHERE, and I'd be frightened to find out it did exist.
There's plenty of Teddy fluff, because Teddy and Billy are the fluffiest couple in the Marvel universe.
10. Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
"Frozen Sort of Love: A Magnum Opus in Five Bloody Parts"
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?
(Right, my two muscle bottoms...)
Teddy goes to Xavier's, because he thinks he's a mutant. It's his fanboyish nature that gets him in the end, as his crush on Colossus springs into full-bloom. Colossus finds Teddy's candor and gentle nature refreshing, and they boink like bunnies.
12. Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
Uh. Yeah. Liek whoa.
13. Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
Uh. Yeah. Liek whoa. (I honestly think Gert-slash would be heresy.)
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
In skirts, with penii, sucking on tentacles... Well, yeah.
15. Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?
Well, Billy and Vic are meeting in next month's crossover, but I'm not sure how Piotr would fit into it. So, as of this moment I'll say no.
Now someone's going to write it, just to spite me, right?
16. What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
Probably the name of whomever he's having sex with. Or just "oh fuck!" Kon's not the most articulate of men in the best of circumstances.
17. If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?
"Let's Get Fucked Up and Die" (L.G.FUAD), from the Motion City Soundtrack
In an entirely ironic way, of course.
Either that or anything emo-rock.
18. If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?
Het, Slash, Threesomes, Bloodplay, Bondage, Dickgirl
19. What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?
"Are you Super everywhere?"
20. When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
Never have. Runaways doesn't have enough of a fan following to have much in the way of fanfic, as far I've been able to see.
21. What is Six's super-sekrit kink?
He likes ice cubes.
22. Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Only when
koala_motchi and I are playing with crack pairings. In which case the answer is yes, and sober. Not sure about drunk, though. And Lobo tops. Period.
23. If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
Gert. Bobby might be older, and he might be angstier, but Gert pwns.
24. "One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
Let's see if I get this straight:
Teddy and Lobo are in a happy relationship until Lobo runs off (as he is wont to do) with Peter. Teddy and Tim have a one night stand, and Teddy has a brief, but unhappy affair with Sunako, until he talks to Vic, and finds true love with Gert.
The title is "We Never Had To Deal With This Stuff in the Young Avengers".
spyridona,
zapf, and
shala might read it out of horrified curiousity.
koala_motchi is the only one who'd be able to do it justice in prose, though. Or art, either way.
25. How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?
I would laugh and laugh and laugh and cry, because Dirk is not in continuity. And if Bobby was out of continuity, he would be close to the funniest thing in the world, next to Aaron and Dirk. And if Dirk was in continuity, the world would explode. End of story.
