(no subject)
You know, I've never really held my childhood sacred. So when people do things like Rule 34 Pokémon or whatever, that doesn't bother me. But finding out that Abraham Lincoln thought blacks were inferior to whites? That's really depressing. D:
Also, I know I'm really late to the party with this like with everything else, but new fandom: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Go, watch. It's short - only three acts - and really awesome. Great music, great acting, heck, it's Joss Whedon. You really don't need any other reason to see it.
And now I'll do a meme.
(Stolen from athousandwinds, who I found... man, I don't even remember.)
List 12 characters from different fandoms first. (No cheating!) Then answer the questions under the cut.
1. Szayel Aporro Granz (Bleach)
2. The Joker (The Dark Knight)
3. Darth Maul (Star Wars)
4. Mello (Death Note)
5. Rock Lee (Naruto)
6. Lloyd Asplund (Code Geass)
7. Rick Murray (Degrassi)
8. Kirby (Kirby)
9. Desmond Hume (Lost)
10. Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)
11. Phoenix Wright (Phoenix Wright)
12. Hal "Otacon" Emmerich (Metal Gear Solid)
1) Who would make a better college professor, 6 [Lloyd Asplund] or 11 [Phoenix Wright]?
They'd both be pretty weird college professors. I assume Phoenix teaches law and Lloyd teaches giant robots, right? Phoenix would get nervous about teaching and whenever a student gets an answer wrong, he'd go "OBJECTION!" Lloyd, on the other hand, would be the wacky but totally brilliant professor who people all go like "What the heck?" at, but his methods work. And all the girls have secret crushes on him. So, uh, Lloyd.
2) Do you think 4 [Mello] is hot?
Yes. Yes I do. With the scar, anyway.
3) 12 [Hal "Otacon" Emmerich] sends 8 [Kirby] on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
He's recruited him to get information on his colleagues in Brawl. Kirby makes a great spy due to his copy ability Completely Innocuous Shrub, but the effort ultimately fails because Kirby can't talk to tell Otacon what he's learned.
4) What is or would be 9's [Desmond Hume's] favourite book?
Our Mutual Friend. Next?
5) Would it make more sense for 2 [The Joker] to swear fealty to 6 [Lloyd], or the other way around?
The Joker would not swear fealty to anyone, ever. But I do think Lloyd might, if it suited his needs. So, Lloyd swears fealty to the Joker. The Joker doesn't really care.
6) For some reason, 5 [Rock Lee] is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 [Desmond] or with 10 [Luna Lovegood]?
Luna! They're both complete Cloudcuckoolanders. I think Luna might overwhelm him a little at first, but ultimately they would get along so well it wouldn't even be funny. Actually, it would. Lee/Luna OTP?
7) 2 [The Joker], 7 [Rick Murray] and 12 [Otacon] have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
They go to the Dot, courtesy of Rick. Rick and Otacon bond pretty quickly and spend their time talking about various geekish exploits and casting wary glances at the Joker, who's simultaneously leering at the other two and figuring out exactly how to blow up the place as soon as they leave.
8) 3 [Darth Maul] challenges 10 [Luna] to a duel. What happens?
Maul would be dead serious, but Luna would ignore the request in favor of remarking on how interesting Maul is, with the horns and the tattoos and the challenging random people to duels and all. If they did end up fighting, Maul would come at her, lightsaber whirling, and Luna'd use Expelliarmus. Game.
9) If 1 [Szayel Aporro Granz] stole 8's [Kirby's] most precious possession, how would s/he get it back?
Szayel needs the Star Rod for experiments on how to induce nightmares. Kirby sucks him up, copies his Pregnant-Making ability, gives Szayel a taste of his own medicine and happily floats away. Geez, Kirby, you're ruthless, aren't you?
10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 [Rick] and 12 [Otacon] both attain what they most desire.
"Some Action". What, I can't do titles.
11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 [Mello] and 1 [Szayel] to work together?
Szayel hires taste testers for his new breed of chocolate-flavored Fracción. Mello is the only one to sign up.
12) If 7 [Rick] visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Let's just say we'd be very busy. ;)
13) If you could command 3 [Darth Maul] to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Wait, what? All the hot guys it could pick from and I get Darth Maul? *grump* Well, I'd probably, y'know, get him to kill someone. Or train me in double-ended lightsabering. That would be totally cool, actually.
14) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 [Phoenix]?
Huh. I don't have any PW comms friended. Maybe I should do something about that.
15) If 2 [The Joker] had to choose sides between 4 [Mello] and 5 [Lee], which would it be?
The Joker's on his own side, fools. But if he had to choose, definitely Mello. He's got the crazy going for him. And then they would, like, nuke Lee out of existence. Sorry, Lee.
16) What might 10 [Luna] shout while charging into battle?
"FOR THE CRUMPLE-HORNED SNORKACKS!"
17) If you chose a song to represent 8 [Kirby], which song would you choose?
Is using a Kirby song cheating? Gourmet Race is always a good one. If it has to be a non-Kirby song, then probably "E Eats Everything" by TMBG. Just replace "E" with "Kirby" and you're set.
18) 1 [Szayel], 6 [Lloyd] and 12 [Otacon] are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant.
Ooh, all the be-glassesed sciencey geeks! <3 They're all down with the food, although for Szayel nothing tastes as good as Fracción. Otacon geeks out over eating dinner with two honest-to-goodness anime characters. They all talk about various sciencey-related exploits. Szayel hits on Lloyd, who isn't averse. Otacon is lonely.
19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 [The Joker] to use on 10 [Luna]?
"You wanna know how I got these scars?" Come on, that was too easy. (Luna's quite interested to know, by the way.)
20) What would 5 [Lee] most likely be arrested for?
FOUI (Flipping Out Under the Influence).
21) What is 6's [Lloyd's] secret?
He likes to dress up like a maid in his spare time. Or dress up Suzaku like a maid. Either/or.
22) If 11 [Phoenix] and 9 [Desmond] were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Desmond. He was in the army, he's in good shape. Phoenix just sits around at a desk all day.
23) 3 [Darth Maul] and 7 [Rick] tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable?
If it's something important enough that you actually got Maul to speak, then he's definitely got something to say. And Rick's been known to skew stuff in his favor. I say Maul.
24) "1 [Szayel] and 9 [Desmond] reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's [Mello]'s sinister secret organisation. 11 [Phoenix] volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 [Phoenix] is actually a spy for 4 [Mello]. Meanwhile, 4 [Mello] has kidnapped 12 [Otacon], in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 [Lee], they seek out 3 [Darth Maul], who gives them what they need to complete their quest." 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.
Okay, let's look at this one logically. I really don't know why Szayel and Desmond would team up, and I'm not sure how "Believe in the power of YOUTH!" would lead them to Maul, but whatever. Mello actually kind of does have a sinister secret organization, so that one's easy. He's obviously kidnapped Otacon for his knowledge, but I'm not sure if he didn't also have another reason in mind. >:) (OH GOD MY BRAIN STOP IT) Title... didn't I already say I can't do titles? Let's go with "Hot Guys With Hot Hair Have Hot Guy Fights (Also, Phoenix, Lee and Maul)". O.A., Usa-chan, and HG would probably read it, if only out of morbid curiosity. O.A. or Usa-chan could probably both write it.
25) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 [Rick] or 8 [Kirby]?
Sorry, Rick, but I choose Kirby. He is not only adorable enough that he'd distract me from the scariness of the situation, but if anyone tried to attack us, he'd clobber them good.
ohh i have no characterization skillz
Be warned: I've found a community (fandom_memes) full of these things, so don't be surprised if you get spammed by them over the next while.
