rocknload: (♫ on top of things ♫)
[personal profile] rocknload
So I paid off one of my credit cards entirely, and then I put like eighty bucks in my savings account—and I can still afford to keep myself fed and even go out and do stuff for the next couple of weeks. Things are totally looking up.

Now, to either finish these prompts for the hell of it, because [livejournal.com profile] pushpushlady surrendered; or, return the DVDs I rented last night.

Or go buy some pizza.

I do that even more often, now.

Post a list of 15 fandoms.
Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
Anyone who's ever RPed with me will probably be able to figure most of these out pretty easily...
___________________

01. Devil May Cry Dante. He's everyone's favorite, pretty much, because he's fucking Dante. Not only that, but he's pretty damn heroic, even if he's mostly a whiny bitch about it—he always does the right thing, no matter what! No, seriously, he does.

02. Transformers Sam. Because I adore dorky, well meaning kids and Sam also does some pretty incredible stuff demonstrating what an awesome person he is. Also, he's really funny. And the way he totally accepts the robots as people so quickly is really amazing. And he gets beaten up by scary government dudes in his futile attempt to help Bumblebee. YOU ARE COOL, SAM.

03. Tales of Symphonia Lloyd. For the same reasons I love Sam; Lloyd also has the thing where he's acquired some fantastic powers and wouldn't even think of using them for self-serving reasons. Maybe it's because he's dumb--okay, it probably is--but I think it's also because he's a really, really scarily good person. He cares about everyone, he always does the right thing... I seriously wish I could be more like this kid, no joke.

04. Newsies Jack. He's neither the selfless heroic guy I usually favor, nor is he the dorky well-meaning kid—that's David. But he tries his best and whatever stupid mistakes he makes, he really, really obviously adores his friends, a lot, which makes me go AWWWWW. Also, a lot of his personality is expressed in his very frequent gestures and grabbing people and stuff, which isn't so much an endearing character trait, but it's fun to watch.

05. Supernatural Dean. He is Dean fucking Winchester, an amazing combination of a badass, smooth talking cool guy, and a complete, dorktastic loser. He's also remarkably sincere even when he's lying. His music rocks. He has a long, long list of endearing traits. The fact that he's so damn gorgeous doesn't hurt, but, honestly? I've spent so much time analyzing the character and watching the show and stuff that—I swear to God—I hardly even notice that, anymore.

06. Dexter Doakes. Doakes was freaking badass, and his instincts about Dexter were right on the money. He was a good cop, he wanted to put the bad guys behind bars! Even Dexter said he was a good man.

07. Battlestar Galactica

08. Saiyuki Gokuu. Dorky, sweet, well-meaning kid again. Even if he's not technically a kid, but... what is he? Earth spirit? God of destruction? I DON'T KNOW. He's probably the strongest living thing in his universe, but he's so ... so ... Gokuu. Bubbly and quirky and friendly and neat.

09. Chronicles of Amber

10. Red vs. Blue

11. The Lost Boys Sam. Because he's basically got the personality of Sam Witwicky, not to mention an older brother he trusts and relies on a whole lot, rather like Sam Winchester. And Michael calls him Sammy. This creepy combination of Sams makes him quite likable, and he manages to kill a vampire by himself, even! Awesome.

12. Psych Shawn. Shawn is a manipulating self-serving jerk who's never finished a thing in his life, has absolutely no reservations lying to even his closet friends, gets by on his charisma and manipulates people just to see if he can get away with it. You'd have to watch the show to get why everyone likes him anyway, because they do. He's not just my favorite character on the show, he's one of my favorite characters ever, I find him completely fascinating.

13. ... Yu-Gi-Oh Kaiba

14. Star Trek: TOS Spock. Because I've always liked Spock best, from when I was a kid. Spock has lots of cool traits, but I dunno what actually elevates him above the also very cool Kirk and McCoy in my mind. I think it's because he can be such a sarcastic bitch without even realizing he's doing it.

15. Firefly Jayne

Nope! I do think they're pretty awesome, though--they're making a straight to video movie about Edgar sometime this year.

Nope! I can give you a hint! My favorite character in this shares a name and basically the same personality as another character in this list.

Oh yeah.

.....that guy you were telling me about who died. The snarky cop who was on to Dexter. I'll think of his name in a minute. He's your favorite.

And thinking back to the little I know about Saiyuki, I suspect your favorite is Goyjo.

You don't know the name, it doesn't count! And nope. He's my second favorite, for being so damn ... I don't know, he's like Zelos minus every trait that makes Zelos an asshole. And he's the hottest.

DOAKES. Because that one icon you had that said "Doakes is watching you" before you changed your icons was from Dexter. Ha.

Ah, well. I'll concede that one!

Also, you're right, we've never really talked Firefly! Who is your favorite from the crew?

The grammar is strong with me, today.

If you don't want me to get your memes right don't spend hours TELLING ME WHY YOU LIKE PEOPLE. Whore.

You clearly tricked me into revealing this information. Somehow. Because getting me to talk about things I like is really really hard and requires ... deviousness. Right.

It is hard! Zoe and Wash and Mal and Simon are also pretty fantastic...

From: [personal profile] unicorn
Well. We all know about how subtle I am. Like that.

Wash and Jayne would probably be my next tier. THEN EVERYONE ELSE. About equally! THEY ARE ALL COOL IN THEIR OWN WAYS.

Oh, I know. You are.

I can't imagine disliking any of the crew, honestly. I mean, I probably like River least, and for being in ninth place I still like her a hell of a lot.

Date: 2008-04-17 09:03 pm (UTC)

I like her because she is ADORABLE and asskicking when she's not being crazy. And crazy has never deterred me from liking characters!

Oh my god. The manga about rollerblades has progressed to encompassing the fate of the world.

From: [identity profile] rocknload.livejournal.com
She is! And she has her CRAZY YET ACCURATE OBSERVATIONS, which are usually presented too weirdly to actually be of any use to Simon or anyone else, but are still useful for the viewers!

..... What? HOW.

I like them! It was cool how they never became OVERDONE.

SOMETHING ABOUT GENETIC ENGINEERING WAS MENTIONED. GENETICIALLY ENGINEERED ROLLERBLADERS.

They didn't! Possibly because they were rarely actually plot relevant, but that was OKAY.

WHAT THE HELL FOR??

It would have been easy for them to MAKE them plot relevant.

I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE.

That'd have been cheap!

DOES THE WRITER EVEN REALIZE THAT ROLLERBLADE IS NOT A LIFESTYLE, IT'S A FREAKING MODE OF TRANSPORTATION? SOMETIMES IT'S EXERCISE?

... This meme is demonstrating that I don't have much variety in the kind of characters I like...

Oh, gosh, I remember The Chronicles of Amber. Unfortunately, everyone's an asshole so I'm not sure who I'd guess to be your favorite. Uhh. I dunno, Brand?
