15 Characters Meme

[lunabee34]

I forgot the actual wording of this meme, but I've made a list of 15 characters. Comment with a scenario (3 and 7 want a dog; what kind do they buy?), and I'll elaborate.

SOOOOOOO BORED!!!! I can't watch BSG until Josh gets back from Daxton's, and I am on the edge of my seat. The edge! The frakking edge! Don't spoil me, please, but I am dying to know if Jamie Bamber really gained all that weight or if it's costuming. I am also dying to know what could possibly have prompted that life change for his character, but I'm guessing we'll find out tonight.

[Also, I am totally going to just answer these in comments, so don't read the comments if you don't want to know who the characters are. LOL]

15 just rear-ended 1! What happens now?

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Draco Malfoy has just rear-ended Adria. Ahahahahhahahahahahah. First let me take a moment to bask in that sentence. *ahem*

Draco is driving a sweet little Aston_Martin. It's black like his soul and faster than any Firebolt, and Draco is in love with this car. With all the subtlety of the Ori, Adria is driving a Hummer. It's fire engine red, naturally, and she doesn't even notice when Draco's sports car folds like an accordion into her back bumper. She just drives on, mowing down a pedestrian or two as she deems necessary, while Draco consoles himself with the petty thought that Harry Potter will never go for a drive in an Aston Martin, much less sit in the smouldering wreckage of one in the middle of a roundabout.

Choking with laughter. Wonderful!

This was fun.

5 has to choose between 8 and 1. What happens?

Where would 10 take 3 on a date?

What's 7's favourite drink?

Who would win in a fight between 11 and 15?

*dies*

John McClane has to choose between Deanna Troi and Adria. Ahahahahahahahah. First of all, Adria doesn't stand a chance because McClane is too busy trying to figure out a way to defeat her to worry about dating her. He's got issues with pretty, dark-haired women who want to kick his ass six ways to Sunday while trying to destroy the world, so he gets a kind unholy glee in watching her flame out for good. But Deanna? She'd be good for him. She's nurturing and kind and could help him through the emotional fallout of, well, being himself without turning into a mother figure or making their relationship codependent.

Anne of Green Gables takes Apollo (Lee Adama) on a date to the apple orchard. It's been so long since Apollo's been dirtside that he's forgotten what real sun feels like on his skin, what growing things smell like. He's lived for too long in the black, in the last gasp before his air runs out, in the moments between gunfire and the falling of fists, but the simple crunch of an apple and the beautiful smile on the redhead beside him are almost enough to make him believe that the Lords of Kobol have been watching over him after all.

Frasier Crane's favorite drink is a surprising one--hot chocolate. It reminds him of being safe and loved and cared for as a boy, tucked warm between his mom and his dad and his baby brother.

Between General Hammond and Draco Malfoy, Hammond totally kicks Malfoy's ass, not least because he's got the nuclear warheads to back his play.

Re: *dies*

[ariadne83]

Bwahahaha oh McClane, never change.

Aww that Anne of Green Gables one is crazy-awesome. And the Hammond one made me all teary-eyed.

Re: *dies*

I miss Hammond so much. *sniffle*

Not my question but

I have such mad Frasier love. As sophisticated and urbane as the Crane brothers are, I could see Frasier harboring a secret love for something much more mundane.

2, 4 and 6 end up at the same bar. By the end of the night, all three are bodily evicted and told never to return.

Why did they get thrown out?

Would they ultimately leave, or would the UST and general level of inebriation result in a menage et trois that everyone will regret in the morning?

Jo Harvelle, Moya (the spaceship), and Laura Roslin end up in the same intergalactic space port. There's a bar in the hangar where Moya's docked, and while Moya herself is not drinking, the fumes are kinda getting to her. Laura thanks the gods that the fleet found a rift in space and time to slip through, and even if this reality is chock full of its own problems, Cylons aren't one of them. Her thanking mostly takes the shape of rotgut whiskey that Crichton's been distilling in Moya's hold. Jo is pissed. She's glad she's not dead, but she really wishes Cas hadn't just flung her atoms willy nilly through the multiverse the second before she died. Jo's been here for months, and she doesn't think she'll ever find her way back. President Roslin is much older than Jo, but she's funny and irreverent and she can hold her liquor like a Winchester. Before long, they're linking arms and stumbling back to their guest quarters on Moya. Jo tries not to think about all the ways that President Roslin, that Laura, reminds her of her mother; that's a one way ticket to a crying jag she can't afford. But she lets Laura remind her to drink a glass of water before falling asleep, and she lets Laura brush her hair back and kiss her forehead, and she falls asleep with the quiet thrum of Moya singing running through her veins.

Moar questions!

[ariadne83]

4 stole something from 12 and they want it back. What is it and what does 12 do?

9 and 13 are on a road trip when they see 2 hitchhiking. Do they stop to pick 2 up? Why/why not?

What is your OTP for 14?

What is your *least* favourite thing about 6?

Re: Moar questions!

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Moya, or rather her crew, steals a pasture full of sheep from Tiffany Aching. Tiffany's not an Aching for nothing. She puts on her hat, considers the judicious application of a wart or two ala Boffo, but ultimately decides against it. She marches right up to the man and woman herding the sheep across the chalk, puts her hands on her hips and tries to channel Granny Weatherwax. "Have you found our sheep?" she says sweetly, sugar over steel. The woman starts and points some sort of metal weapon at Tiffany. "Go away, little girl. This doesn't concern you," she says. "Those sheep don't belong to you," Tiffany says. "They belong to us. And you can't take them." Tiffany feels the kind of anger that gets thing done welling up inside her, the kind of rage that a witch needs to keep her people alive. And suddenly, the man and woman aren't standing there anymore. Tiffany doesn't know where they went, but every sheep is accounted for. She calls them all by name as they walk back to the village.

Pamela Barnes and Brian Kinney are on a road trip when they see Jo Harvelle hitchhiking. And you'd think that Pamela and Brian would hate each other's guts, but you'd be wrong. They're distant cousins, but they spent enough summers together at the lake to figure out they've got the same sense of humor and the same desire to wring what they can out of the world before they're gone. Brian's grown jaded, lost and bitter in a way Pamela thought she'd never see, but around her he's the same punk ass kid she grew up with. They find Jo hitching just outside of Memphis and Pamela makes Brian pull the car over. "You can't even see a damn thing, Pam," Brian says, cutting the wheel and pulling over onto the shoulder. "You'd be surprised," Pam says, as Jo opens the door and slides into the backseat.

My OTP for Kathryn Janeway. Josh and I are starting a re-watch of Voyager. I only saw the first season when it aired and a handful of episodes after that, all out of order and random-like. We're still in the first season, so I don't know enough yet to tell. I know for sure it's not B'Elanna Torres. Oh, man. The way the actor plays that character gets on my every last nerve. I think she graduated from the Klingon school of Shakespearean acting. LOL So far, there's some sexual tension between her and Chakotay that I could stand to see some more of.

My least favorite thing about Laura Roslin--dude! This is hard. I love her. I love her so much. She is so wise and so strong and when she screws up, she admits that and she asks forgiveness. She and Adama are the glue holding what's left of the human race together. They're the mother and father figures of humanity. And they screw up. They're flawed. But they love. And oh, do they love. *chokes up*

Re: Moar questions!

[ariadne83]

Hahaha oh man, Brian and Pamela? That would be an epically awesome road trip. Jo doesn't know what she's gotten herself in for!

Oh man, Roslin and Adama! How awesome were they? About the only criticism I could think of is that they're both so hard-nosed. But I guess they have to be.

Re: Moar questions!

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Dude, I know! Those two would have FUN, the kind that is awesome right up until you get arrested. LOL

I adore Roslin and Adama. I am on pins and needles waiting to see what happens next. This show is killing me, Ariadne. I can't read fic; I can't even go look for icons for fear of spoiling myself, but I can't wait to jump headlong into this fandom. Headlong.

Re: Moar questions!

[ariadne83]

I never made it past the first season because the angst/nihilism was too much for me(although I know generally what happens in the rest of the show, mainly via fanvids and reaction posts). I'm sure you're reveling in it.

Oh! I almost forgot you haven't finished watching yet. I will keep my mouth shut except to say: Roslin and Adama FTW!

Re: Moar questions!

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

I am. I am wallowing knee deep in it. But it's not unremitting angst. I don't think I could watch it if it were. There are some beautiful moments of joy and pure love between the characters that make it worth my while.

I have already told Josh that if everybody's dead and they all hate each other at the end that our marriage is over. He just smirks at me, the little shit.

Re: Moar questions!

[ariadne83]

It was Starbuck that did me in. I just cannot watch women self-destruct; it's too painful.

I guess that's why I'm drawn to manpain LOL

Re: Moar questions!

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I know what you mean.

Josh and I have just been arguing about this very subject. We're two discs into season 3, and I just don't see Starbuck as much of a frakup as the men on the show want me to believe she is. Half the time when Lee is riding her ass and telling her she's screwing up, I'm not so sure she is. Like he belittles her six ways to Sunday for sleeping with Baltar after the presidential elections. At that point, nobody knows he's a collaborator. I'm sure they all think he's nuts because he keeps talking to himself, but they don't know what he's done. So a grown woman sleeping with a grown man under consenting conditions that hurt no one becomes Starbuck is a fuckup in Lee's mind because he's in love with her and it pisses him off. (Which as much as that scene made me mad, I also love the way Lee loves Starbuck, so six of one half dozen of the other). Or when she's made CAG on Pegasus and the new Commander calls Lee over to "deal with her" and makes out like she's fucking up, which Lee totally buys, but what's really going on is that the commander's ordered her soldiers to screw around with her and not give her vital info. It's like she's spitting into the wind and getting blamed for the weather.

That being said, she's impulsive and cocky and she uses booze to fix everything and she just *sob* gave up on her marriage, I think, but I can't hardly blame her because she has PTSD and is so angry.

LOL I am too invested in this show.

Re: Moar questions!

[ariadne83]

It's not that I think she's a frakup, it's more like... I know that other people see her as a frakup, so whenever she does something that I *know* is going to be taken the wrong way I just yell "Noooooooo!" and look away from the screen. Because... oh Starbuck, no!

Sleeping with Baltar was so dumb, not because Lee wanted her first but because she *obviously* wanted him too, but she went home with the wrong guy. As someone who's done that, it really made me cringe, because I know how horrible it makes you feel.

And the self-medicating with booze, along with the constant self-flagellation is just... I love Starbuck but I CANNOT STAND TO WATCH HER OMG. Too painful, too close to home. And she keeps digging *herself* in deeper when other people are only too happy to do it for her.

STARBUCK, STOP BEING SO MEAN TO MY BB STARBUCK!

Re: Moar questions!

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

*nods nods nods*

I get it. I do.

I want her to be happy and have kittens and fingerpaint, godfrak it. LOL

How do I love like every single character on this show?

*jazz hands*
