WHOO!
Guess what? I just drank an entire pot of coffee at IHOP. YAY!
So, yeah. Wired. Whoo! Meme!
1. Post a list of fandoms.
2. Have your friends guess your favorite character from each fandom.
3. When guessed, add to the list your favourite characters and a sentence explaining why you like them.
1. Harry Potter Series: I actually cycle between several favoites, including Luna, Lockhart, Snape, and Remus. Right now, It's Neville's turn. I'll admit, part of it is because of Matthew Lewis. But Neville is down-to-earth, loyal, and strong. I still think he and Luna would make an excellent couple; they balance each other out perfectly.
2. Tudor England
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: "Jack Sparrow is completely self-serving, megalomaniacal, insane, independent and self-reliant. Deep down I wish I could be more like him. Plus, he's sexy.
4. Hamlet: Seriously, I could write an essay about Ophelia. The part of me that loves drama is drawn to Ophelia. Another part of me sees some of myself in her madness, and still another part of me is oddly repelled by the part that identifies with her. She's the ultimate symbol of a woman pushed too far by the constraints of her life and society. Whereas Gertrude is the symbol of feminine power through sexuality, Ophelia seeks power through love (only to wind up with tragedy).
5. The Last Five Years
6. Wicked
7. The Office (US): I know men who remind me, in some ways, of Jim. Admittedly, I have had (or still have) wild crushes on men who remind me in some ways of Jim. Like I said, I'm a sucker for morons in love. Especially adorable, thoughtful, gentlemanly morons who are with the wrong people. (but maybe I'm biased... I'm over it, I swear!!)
8. Discworld Series: Granny Weatherwax is a take-no-prisioners-or-nonsense kinda woman. I love her fanatically realistic approach to the world. She's awesomely (if unintentionally) funny.
9. The Daily Show/Colbert Report: Stephen Colbert... What can you say about Stephen? For one, he's incredibly sexy intelligent. Satire is an art, and he has perfected it.
10. Pride and Prejudice: What woman doesn't want her very own Mr. Darcy? Tall, dark, and brooding = love (I'm probably a trifle obsessed with the type; Heathcliff , among others, elicits the same reaction from me) Darcy does what he thinks is best, damn the consequences, but he is still not afraid to admit he was wrong. There is a facsinating depth to his character, even though it is constrained within the parameters of society and the plot.
ETA: I keep re-thinking my caffeine fueled answers, so prepare for edits (darn perfectionism).
