Oooh thinky

[tzikeh]

I haven't taken part in a meme-round in a long time, and I particularly like this one, so here goes. Ganked from everyone, most recently fan_eunice and sdwolfpup.

Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I'll give you (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

Below the cut is a list of shows I've been fannish about which I can still remember enough of to answer one of these questions for most of the characters. I had to exclude a *lot* of fandoms, because I haven't seen them in so long that I wouldn't be able to do the characters justice. I'm sure I'm forgetting some that I could include, as well, but such is life.

Bobby Hobbes!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Letter (a):

Bobbyhobbes has an offshore bank account.
Bobbyhobbes cried at the end of An Affair to Remember. You'll never get him to admit it, so don't try.
We know Bobbyhobbes would die for Darien. Bobbyhobbes knows he would kill for Darien; in cold blood, if necessary.

The man who called himself "Remington Steele."

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

brb haircut. Remington later!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Remington Steele is awesomecakes because he gave up changing externally, and took the hard road to changing internally, when the other way was so much easier for him.

[ratcreature]

John Crichton!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

John Crichton never egged houses on Mischief Night. He did tp trees, though.
John Crichton never told his son the truth about all he had suffered due to Scorpius.
John Crichton never ran out of stupid nicknames for Rygel.
John Crichton never refused anyone a lift on Moya, to Aeryn's occasional dismay.
John Crichton never got back to Earth again.

[ratcreature]

Heh, now I'm nostalgic for FS.

[thecomfychair.livejournal.com]

Trevor Hale?

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Trevor Hale is awesomecakes because he never gives up on anyone. (And because he pulls out the Dave Matthews gag whenever he feels like it.)

[cleversimon.livejournal.com]

Dexter Morgan, because IT IS NOT SUNDAY YET. WHY.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

WHY IS IT NOT SUNDAY.

Dexter is a hard one. Ummmm....

Dexter is relieved that Rita already has children, because if they stay together maybe probably hopefully she won't want any more and he does *not* want to contribute to the gene pool.

Dexter does not like white noise or background music.

Dexter maintains a ridiculous level of dental hygiene because he cannot shift the irrational-yet-stubborn fear that anyone who can pry his mouth open and look at his teeth and tongue will see the truth.

[cleversimon.livejournal.com]

Haha, fantastic.

[slb44.livejournal.com]

House.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oh, man.

House has memorized all four choral lines in "Moonlight Serenade" and will sing a random one aloud while imagining another one, thus harmonizing with himself.

House has had his lawyer change his will sixteen times so far.

House is still looking for Wilson's brother.

[slb44.livejournal.com]

Very cool!

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

House is still looking for Wilson's brother.

*wibbles* Yes. Yes he is. Because how do you manage to disappear from Wilson's life so quickly and mysteriously that he doesn't even tell House?

Also? ICON LOVE. Good God, if Neil ever wanted to get that movie version of Good Omens off the ground and Johnny Depp/Robin Williams (his original choices) were unavailable? Hugh and RSL would be perfect.

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

But... but... How can I choose between Lancelot and Robin when neither one of them made the cut?! Waaaah! Poor Lance. He's so abused.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

BWAH!

Hm.

Sir Robin is AWESOMECAKES because, while he is cowardly, he has no shame.

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

YAY ROBIN!!!!

And he can sing & dance, too!!!!

[delle.livejournal.com]

Lee Adama! (have recently fallen very very VERY hard for BSG)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Lee wishes they had the luxury to let him take a Viper out for a joyride once in a while.
Lee thought Kara wasn't good enough for Zak.
Lee really, really misses televised pyramid.

[nigeltde]

Lee thought Kara wasn't good enough for Zak.
Oh my god, I love this character note.

[sanj.livejournal.com]

Illya Kuryakin, please.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, old school!

Illya is awesomecakes because he can translate from one foreign language to another without having to make a stop at his native language; because his sense of humor is drier than a very very dry Martini; because he's never smug, only self-assured--which is why he lets Napoleon beat him at chess occasionally.

[greywingnut.livejournal.com]

William Thomas Riker ;)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

He was sent to the principal's office for deliberately hitting the kid who sat in front of him in band practice with his trombone slide. Twice.

At rare but random moments, it takes everything he has not to burst out laughing at Picard when he does or says something which reminds Riker of Picard-as-child.

No matter how many times or how many ways he re-examines it, he can never come up with any other option than ordering Worf to fire.

[kimberlyfdr.livejournal.com]

Benton Fraser

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Benton Fraser is AWESOMECAKES because he treats friendship as an irrevocable contract, and because being broken makes him stronger.

[thefannishwaldo.livejournal.com]

Jack Harkness

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Jack Harkness is AWESOMECAKES because he KNOWS he is awesomecakes, and he *expects that you know that he knows that he is awesomcakes*, and it works for him.

[thefannishwaldo.livejournal.com]

And so very few people get away with that the way he does, you know? :)

[carla-scribbles.livejournal.com]

Trixie from Deadwood, plzkthnx? *lacks appropriate icon*

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Trixie is AWESOMECAKES because she is the only person in Deadwood who has the ability to make Jane Canary sound like the coherent one in the conversation.

wanna play

[akaspeedo.livejournal.com]

James West, WWW (before it meant the internet, snort).

Re: wanna play

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Jim writes far more eloquently than he can be bothered to speak.
Jim has never cried.
Jim does not expect to survive to an age at which he would no longer be physically able to do his job.

[amilyn.livejournal.com]

Can't...choose...

Can I cheat and ask for more than one? (If not, you can just go with the first one.)

1. C.J. Cregg

2. Aeryn Sun

3. Agnes Dipesto

4. Leia Organa

5. Laura Holt

6. Sam Tyler

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

C.J. Cregg is AWESOMECAKES because, even though she wields absolutely no power in the White House chain of command, she will SMACK YOU THE FUCK DOWN if necessary. Even if you are the President.

[amilyn.livejournal.com]

I lovelovelove this description. *hugs*

[terrie01.livejournal.com]

Grace from Joan of Arcadia.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Grace wishes she could go home at night with Luke--not to have sex with him (though she wouldn't say no), but because she wants to feel like she has a family.

Grace knew Joan and Adam weren't right for each other.

Grace still writes poetry.

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

Rube.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Rube SUCKS because he hasn't taken Georgia to bed....

No, sorry....

Okay.

Rube hates air travel.

Rube spent too many Saturdays at the pictures in 1943 so he could keep looking at Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca.

Rube knows why he's still a reaper, and he has consciously chosen not to do what is necessary to move on.

[carbonel]

Aeryn Sun

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Aeryn Sun is AWESOMECAKES because she was brave enough to risk becoming vulnerable, yet never became ineffectual.

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

Iris Crowe. Because I feel the need for some Carnivale love.
