I am totally squandering away my day off. I have done nothing today. Nothing! My attention span is too short today to watch k-dramas and/or movies, apparently, so, MEME IT IS.

Btw, are you still watching Camelot? I'm dragging my feet on that miniseries.

You knew I was gonna suggest the Office, though. xD

There is a serious shortage of Erin fic in this fandom in general. I'm surprised my crush on her has latest this long, lol.

I've always been sad nobody on my twitter timeline likes the show. :(

Meme 1 firthgal March 28 2011, 22:00:07 UTC

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.
She is awesome. She is badass and vulnerable and ruthless and loving and scared and fearless and STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. She's full of contradictions, which is very human, and I tend to like that in a character.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
I've always thought so, but, you know, the creators of the show seem to think differently. But now she's the villain in all sense of the term, so, kind of hard to deny her importance now.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
I can relate to her insecurities, I think. That feeling of not knowing what lies in your future, the fear of never being truly loved, her feelings of isolation. But, I am neither stunningly beautiful nor badass, and I am in no way confrontational, so, that's pretty much where the similarities end. But I wish that I was like Morgana in many ways, so that helps with the relatability, I guess.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this ( ... )

- 3 favorite relationships

LESLIE/RON!!! Ann/Leslie, April/Andy

- 3 favorite characters

Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson, Andy Dwyer

- 3 favorite moments

1)Ron explaining to Leslie why she didn't like her perfect lawyer boyfriend. It was AMAZING and beautiful and left me giddy for ages.
2)Ron throwing out his back and April having to wheel him to the hospital in his office chair. I AM RON FUCKING SWANSON!
3) Leslie sitting on Ron's car until the alcohol had passed through his system. Her caring about his health pleased me to no end, and they seemed so married in that episode, especially with him angrily calling her "WOMAN!"

Basically any and all Ron/Leslie moments ever.

- 3 reasons I like/love that fandom
Because it barely exists? Which means there aren't any fights, which means there is no butterness. I hate that the fandom has gone all crazy over Leslie/Ben though and the tiny following that Ron/Leslie had has basically died out. NOT COOL.

ETA: Ahahahaha, I typed "butterness" instead of bitterness. *sigh*

1)Ron explaining to Leslie why she didn't like her perfect lawyer boyfriend. It was AMAZING and beautiful and left me giddy for ages.

THIS MOMENT, YES! My soul still goes quietly swoony when I think about it.

3) Leslie sitting on Ron's car until the alcohol had passed through his system. Her caring about his health pleased me to no end, and they seemed so married in that episode, especially with him angrily calling her "WOMAN!"

They were SO GREAT in that episode, oh man! And I love when he shows up for work the next day with the small harp he made in order to prove to her that he can hold his liquor. Oh, JOY! Iiii wish this season had more Leslie/Ron scenes. Or maybe I just wish all the scenes were Leslie/Ron scenes.

1. I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU TALK ABOUT PIERCE, WOMAN. Yes.

2. Might as well stay on theme. Community.

Pierce!!!!! I talked so much about him that I have to split this in two firthgal March 29 2011, 01:13:20 UTC

1) What is your opinion of this character?
He is kind of a major jerk, but I love him anyway. It's probably partly because I've grown up watching and loving Chevy Chase (had a crush on him when I was younger), but it's also because he's such an offensive, flawed character who tries SO HARD to be someone else. He is in desperate need of acceptance and love and he rarely gets it, but he still keeps on going. He still tries no matter how many times he fails, because he truly believes that he is worthy of love and acceptance.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Yes! He is often what motivates Jeff to be better. Jeff sees Pierce's life and how alone and pathetic he is, and Jeff realizes that his own life could be on that same path, so it wakes him up and makes him take a sharp turn onto a different path. Pierce is definitely used as a mirror for Jeff, what he'll look like in the future, and that scares him. YEAH, I JUST VALIDATED PIERCE'S EXISTENCE, FANDOM. HA!

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you ( ... )

Pierce pt 2 firthgal March 29 2011, 01:13:53 UTC

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Not really? I love that he is so terribly flawed. I might tone him down a little here and there, though. I miss the lovable goon from season 1 who occasionally had a bit of sage advice. He's quite vindictive this season, but I totally understand why. He feels like the group is ignoring and mistreating him, which they kind of are. I mean, it's understandable, but still. Pierce needs love just like the rest of them!

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how would you see yourself interacting with him/her?
You know, I would probably have a very familial affection for him and treat him like a father (or grandfather, because certain characteristics of his remind me so much of my grandfather). Would he like me? I have no idea. I just think that we'd probably get along well if we were in the study group together.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites?Hmm... I'm not sure! I really, really love him ( ... )

I LOVED READING ALL OF THIS PIERCE LOVE tinted_glass March 29 2011, 01:44:41 UTC

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Yes! He is often what motivates Jeff to be better. Jeff sees Pierce's life and how alone and pathetic he is, and Jeff realizes that his own life could be on that same path, so it wakes him up and makes him take a sharp turn onto a different path. Pierce is definitely used as a mirror for Jeff, what he'll look like in the future, and that scares him. YEAH, I JUST VALIDATED PIERCE'S EXISTENCE, FANDOM. HA!

YES!! Hahah, I love that you point this out, because it is really entirely true. And the fact that fandom doesn't seem to grasp this concept... at all, baffles me. TOO BLINDED BY RAGE, ARE THEY?

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship with any other character(s)?
Ahahahaha, I do, I do. PIERCE/BRITTA 4EVR!!!1!11

I like this confession. I CAN SEE IT. I also agree with you on the whole Pierce/Annie thing. A good couple of their scenes have made me go "aww". "She really is just my favorite." <3
