The way we were right then
Meme-ish things, part two! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
iladora asked for five fictional characters I wish were my IRL friends:
Ashleigh Howard, Greek. We would borrow each other's clothes and plan fun college parties and watch 80's rom-coms together, it would be awesome. If I could be friends with any fictional character in the universe, it would be Ashleigh.
Kelly Kapoor, The Office. Okay, honestly, I'm not sure I could stand full-time Kelly, but - Ryan does it? And he's only gone a little bit insane? Plus, she is super fantastic, we could go shopping and paint our nails and watch crappy girly movies and be super excited about BASICALLY ANYTHING THAT IS AWESOME, and she's essentially Mindy Kaling on crack through a sitcom filter, so what's not to love about that?
Ted Mosby, How I Met Your Mother. Oh, Ted! I love him, and I don't even care if he pronounces encyclopedia like a tool. I would let him show me architecture and be pretentious and I would listen super patiently to all his many and varied romantic woes and I would fix him up with all my cool single girlfriends even though it would inevitably end in disaster because one day he might just make it work, and we would dress up and go to really boring parties AND THEN WE WOULD WATCH SOME FIGHTING ROBOTS, COME ON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH TED MOSBY TOO.
Eli Wallace, Stargate Universe. I blame this entirely on a dream I once had where we were friends and bad stuff was happening and then he cuddled me and I felt better, but whatever, he looks like he'd be awesome at cuddling. And that's my entire reasoning. Sometimes you just need a friend who gives good hugs.
Cara Mason, Legend Of The Seeker. I'm - not really sure how this one would work? At least the others live in what is more or less the real world, but whatever - regular Cara, or modern AU!Cara, or whatever, I think she would be an awesome friend, fierce and snarky and loyaland excellent in bed. If you earned it. And nobody can eye roll like Cara, don't even true to argue.
corleones asked for my top five literary OTPs, and ... honestly, I'm not sure I have a lot of literary OTPs. Which, considering how much I love shipping, honestly surprised me. Um, I really love Knightley/Emma? But other than that, IDK, I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question!
jengrrrl gave me these icons to talk about:
BSG + CRACK = AWESOME. Sparkle Motion is originally from Donnie Darko, but I'm pretty sure it's taken on a life of its own at this point, and - would you want Gaius Baltar doubting your commitment to sparkle motion? Would you really? (Also, for more Baltar-flavoured crack, I highly recommendsdwolfpup and laurashapiro's vid Let's Go Crazy, which is what this icon always reminds me of.)
"My name is Liz Parker, and five days ago, I died." I still remember when I first heard of Roswell - I was in the U.S., and I'd been seeing magazine ads for it everywhere, alongside Buffy and Dawson's Creek, and I was fifteen and I feel completely in love with the WB in the month or so I was over there. And I still love Roswell, cheese and high school drama and OMG TRUE LOVE and all (though, from what I've heard, I'm very glad I wasn't in fandom at the time).
I'm not sure I ever really shipped Joe/Demi, but - they were always cute as friends, and when they got together, I thought they could be genuinely awesome. But I guess I forgot about how Joe Jonas is a stupid twenty-one year old boy, so. I still feel for Demi :( SEE, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR CHOOSING BOYS.
OKAY, SO. THIS ICON, WHICH I LOVE, IS FROMbartzina13's SUPER SUPER AWESOME GOSSIP GAYS, WHICH IS ONLY VERY SLIGHTLY GAYER THAN THE ACTUAL SHOW. AND - I KNOW IT'S NOT EXACTLY A POPULAR OPINION, BUT I LIKE RUFUS, WHEN HE'S NOT BEING A TOOL, WHICH IS FREQUENTLY. HE IS A LAME 90'S DAD AND HE HAS INAPPROPRIATE CHEMISTRY WITH TEENAGE GIRLS AND I STILL THINK HE AND BLAIR SHOULD HAVE HOT HATE SEX. AND THIS ICON ALSO DOUBLES AS MY BAND OF BROTHERS ICON, WHICH MATTHEW SETTLE WAS IN AND HE WAS MY VERY FAVOURITE AND I ♥ SPEIRS, THE END.
Effy was my favourite character in Skins gen one, and she's still my favourite character in what I've seen of gen two (which is only about half a season, I should really catch up and watch the rest even though I'm spoiled for, like, everything). And I'm honestly a little baffled by the whole Cook/Effie vs Freddie/Effy thing, clearly Tony/Effy are OTP, but whatever. (I also really like Katie/Effy. But the whole love triangle with boys bores me.)
(The keyword for this icon is "do you want to fuck your sister," which is an actual quote from the show, spoken by a girl who is probably a figment of Tony's imagination, and who looks a lot like Effy, and who he sleeps with. This is probably the second most heavily Tony/Effy shippy episode of the series. And - that's probably all I have to say about that.)
Aphrodite! I've been slowly rewatching Xena, and I really, really love this show. (Um. Obviously?) I love the gay and the crack and the really loose interpretation of Greek myths and the tenuous relationship with stuff like ~history AND THE AUs OMG, and I also love Aphrodite, so. This is my not-really-serious disappointed icon.
ALSO, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING MAKE IT OR BREAK IT ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ YOU CAN PROBABLY EXPECT A POST ABOUT THAT SOMETIME SOON. (I know I promised a proper update, but - it's possible I lied?)
