Is 7.30 too late for a cup of tea?
I'm back in Cardiff! And all it took was a fiendishly hot and slow 4 hour coach journey. I swear, if I never see the interior of a National Express coach it will be too soon. Anyway, thought it'd update you all because when I got back I saw THESE
So rest assured, futuresoon , the t-shirt arrived safely and uncontaminated by fondant! I haven't done the taste comparison yet partly because my brain has melted and partly because I have bigger plans for it than just scoffing the thing and telling you all what it tasted like.
And now, a meme from oz_the_bobble :

12. My five favourite characters:
13. My five least favourite characters:
14. Which character I am most like:
15. My deep, dark, fandom secret:
Hetalia
01. The first character I fell in love with: Oooh, I'll give you three guesses XD. I can't help it, I am patriotic that way I guess.
02. The character I never expected to love as much I do now: Before Hetalia I knew nothing at all about Lithuania, and now he's in my top 5 faves.
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Britannia bloody Angel can die in a fire.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: These are hard because there aren't really any *hated* characters in Hetalia. It's cool like that!
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer: I go through phases, so I'll come around to characters I'm not interested in later on. I was on a hardcore Korea drawing kick for a while but I've been too busy to draw lately. Does that count?
06. The character I would shag anytime: England, doy
07. The character I want to be like: Canada?
08. The character I'd slap: Liet, LEAVE BELARUS ALONE. Seriously even though I like Liet a LOT that aspect of his character kinda creeps me out.
09. A pairing that I love: Lithuania/Poland, platonic England/America
10. A pairing that I hate: See my answer re: hated characters, although Prussia/Canada does baffle me a bit.
11. Favourite character: England, England, ENGLAND
12. My five favourite characters: England, America, Canada, Lithuania, Rome
13. My five least favourite characters: urgh, I don't have as many as five but probably North Italy, and do Ukraine's boobs count as a character in their own right? Maybe two *shot*
14. Which character I am most like: No idea. According to the quiz I took I'm Poland, though.
15. My deep, dark, fandom secret: I really am here for the history.
Doctor Who
01. The first character I fell in love with: Nine
02. The character I never expected to love as much I do now: Donna, for sure
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't: I really don't like Rose. She was fine until they really started pushing her relationship with Ten hard and then he moped about her leaving so much that I started to resent her on Martha's behalf.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: Martha? Opinions are pretty divided over her, I think.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer: I thought River Song was cool until about fifteen seconds into her bit and then I wanted her to be eaten by the Vashta-Nerada
06. The character I would shag anytime: Does this even need answering? TEN
07. The character I want to be like: I would go a long way to be as brave, smart and funny as Donna or Martha
08. The character I'd slap: The Doctor. He needs it sometimes!
09. A pairing that I love: Don't have one. Doctor/TARDIS maybe?
10. A pairing that I hate: I kind of don't think that the Doctor should be paired with anyone, or not as OTP anyway. I think all of his partners are special to him.
11. Favourite character: The Doctor
12. My five favourite characters: Ten, Eleven, Donna, Martha, Ross (we hardly knew ye).
13. My five least favourite characters: Rose, River Song, can't think of any others.
14. Which character I am most like: I am probably the Tin Dog of whatever group I'm in
15. My deep, dark, fandom secret: I have never watched a single episode of the old series and I've never wanted to oh man I feel so bad for saying that
Merlin
01. The first character I fell in love with: The big M-dog himself
02. The character I never expected to love as much I do now: Uther!
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Morgana. I have no idea why.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: I actually kind of adore Uther. He's so nuts that he can't see he's ruining everything, but he still wants to do right by Arthur in his own weird way. Not that I think he's a good dad (he blatantly isn't).
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer: John Hurt Dragon, I guess?
06. The character I would shag anytime: Sir Sexyfine Lancelot
07. The character I want to be like: Gwen. She's such an obviously good person.
08. The character I'd slap: I'd like to beat Arthur with a Clue Stick, please
09. A pairing that I love: Gwen/Arthur. What can I say, I'm an old-school romantic.
10. A pairing that I hate: None
11. Favourite character: Merlin, probably, although I kind of like them all to a greater or lesser degree
12. My five favourite characters: Merlin, Uther, Arthur, John Hurt Dragon, Gwen
13. My five least favourite characters: Morgana, Morgause, and that's about it.
14. Which character I am most like: I don't think I'm very much like any of them. When I'm old I'd like to be like Gaius only, you know, not a man. And with better hair.
15. My deep, dark, fandom secret: I like both Morte D'Arthur and this. The inaccuracies don't bother me at all. I would like to see the bit where Lancelot punches a dude so hard his head explodes, though.
