Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 13: Share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favourite interview, a book) and explain why you love it so much.

Ohhhh, canon. I love canon. Even the parts that I don't love - the ridiculous things like Magic Reversible Aging Drugs in Oz or the hurtful things like Justin Leaving Brian For A ( Read more... )

OH, those are terrific moments! I totally agree with you on QaF - I actually stopped and went back on the DVD to make sure I'd heard Brian say it.

Walking Dead - Daryl is such a terrific character, and you pinpointed the perfect moment to showcase that.

SPN - French Mistake - I am chuckling just remembering that scene, so thank you!

That QaF moment -- I have never been so happy to be unspoiled in my life. My flist was/is the absolute best at making sure the spoiler virgins remained that way. It was a great moment.

Wheee DARYL. I love him. LOVE. And that scene is so minor, but it makes me happy.

Strangely, SPN was the one show that I had a hard time picking a "moment" for. Aside from the two I mentioned, I love almost anything with the Trickster; Cas *standing at the side of the highway for four hours* OMG; so many Team Free Will moments. But Sam's "acting" always wins for Most Hilarious. :)

Oh, for me it was easy - Mystery Spot hits pretty much ALL of my SPN buttons (except Cas). I wrote and wrote aout it in my post today.

Brian's ILY will always be the highlight of season 5 to me! ♥

Re: Walking Dead. Daryl and Glenn? Seriously? I dunno if I see that, even though I do like both characters very much. And I totally, completely, absolutely agree with your POV about Daryl. That redneck is actually turning out to be a pretty decent guy. Probably my fave character there.

And... someone seriously needs to cut Shane. Into teeny tiny pieces!

Nothing beats the I Love You. NOTHING.

Daryl/Glenn, baybee! It jumped out in and hit me in the forehead in Season One. (There's a few moments where Daryl -- who back then is pretty much a hothead who doesn't listen to anyone -- listens to Glenn. Does what he wants. Is upset when Glenn gets captured by the vatos, to the point of giving up his search for *how own brother* to get him back.)

Having said that... Season Two, not so much. Maybe they'll give us somethin' in the second half.

SO GLAD YOU'RE WATCHING THIS SHOW. ZOMBIES FOR THE WIN!!!!

*twirls you*

Heee nice moments, if not very surprising ;)

I gotta agree with the LFDH one and woah that vid is pretty much the entire movie in 4 minutes! I never would have thought of pairing DH with Adam Lambert but...heh, gonna admit I never noticed how just quite how Brokeback-y that alleyway scene is without the dialogue. Oh the dramatic gazing at each other! And heh...it did a good job of pointing out just how much John likes to manhandle and grab all up on this kid he's picked up heheheh.

What can I say? I am a big giant schmoophead who schmoops. Can't hide it. Won't even try. ;)

I KNOW. I agree with everything (movie in four minutes, giant slashitude factor, goopy gazing) and the ending makes me melt, not gonna lie. Also. Goddamnyou Adam Lambert. Whyyyy you make me like you whyyyyy.

Regarding QaF, I couldn't believe Brian had said it. I was in shock.

Regarding Oz, how the hell did Toby and Keller end up in the same cell? Did McManus do it for them? I can't remember. I watched the clip twice - love how Toby pulls him in tight and Chris responds.

Yup, it's right after Vern attacks Toby in the gym and Chris jumps to his defense. Afterward, Toby asks McManus to move Chris back to his cell. Then there's a nice two-week lockdown so they can get reacquainted. :D

A two week lock down. Did you write fic for this lockdown?

severina2001 January 25 2012, 12:35:22 UTC
*ponders* I... don't think I did. There is SO much lockdown fic out there (esp. from the early days of the fandom) plus ya know lockdown fic would be alllll about the sex, and that's not really me. Heh.

That B/J ILU will forever be one of my most cherished memories from the show. Also, we rock for being spoiler virgins for eet. WE RULE. *high-fives*

There is also a tiny little moment near the beginning of the film where John talks about "not giving a shit" about Matt, and Matt's face quirks into this awful resigned/vulnerable little expression that makes my heart break for him.

THAT PART KILLS ME. :( The way he shrugs and looks down to the side and murmurs "Hey..." like, story of my life and just omg. ALL MY EMOTIONS. Just the fact that you're even thinking about writing fic related to that moment is giving me super-duper joy. ♥

Well, hey, I appear to be spamming you tonight lol. Sorry 'bout that! ;D

WE DO RULE, WE DO. *high fives back, then shakes stinging hand*

RIGHT??? OMG. I just want to hug him and reassure him that he's LOVED and ugggggggggghhh matt why you kill me with that look whyyyyyyyy. I have, like, partially written 'moments' that aren't even exactly scenes but nothing concrete. It's just such a sad thing to deal with, it's much more fun to write goofiness like pretend boyfriends and first time kisses, heh.

I LOVE WHEN YOU SPAM ME, BABY. SPAM ME HARD AND SPAM ME GOOD.

... :D
