THE SECRET LOVERS MEME

If I actually GET any responses, I'll be stunned.

ETA: Fixed link. OTL

ARG ARG ARG. I'm trying to get some giftfic written and it keeps coming out bad and OOC and I can't figure out how to fix it. ;_;

Meme, stolen from everybody and their mom. Most of these will be REAL EASY for anyone who's ever seen my purse.

a.) Post a list of 20 fandoms.
b.) Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
c.) When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence/paragraph about why you like that character.

1. One Piece (one Strawhat, one non-Strawhat)--Usopp and Zeff, as guessed by scribe_protra: Usopp is my favorite Strawhat because he's the normal guy. He's not super strong or super smart, he runs away from things that are really quite frightening, he's a turbo-nerd, and he's delightfully ugly. In short, I'd date his ass in a heartbeat. Zeff's my favorite non-Strawhat because he's a grouchy old bastard with difficulty expressing his feelings, but he somehow manages to orchestrate a few of the most emotionally moving moments in the series (I wibbled when Sanji burst into tears while leaving the Baratie). Also: Moustache, capital M. XD
2. Star Trek (this one is a tie)--Spock and McCoy, as guessed by scribe_protra: Spock and McCoy's relationship is a thing of beauty, and I don't think the like has ever been entirely replicated in a Star Trek series since. McCoy is the ORIGINAL snarky doctor, and you can feel how badly he wants to fix people, mentally, emotionally, and physically. He can be pig-headed, slightly chauvinistic, overly emotional, hot-tempered, and occasionally bigoted, but all of that is vastly outweighed by the depths of his caring for others, whether those others are members of his crew or senient rocks. Spock, on the other hand, is one of the most beautifully conflicted characters ever seen in a Star Trek series. He's eminently logical and sometimes downright cold, but he still feels on the inside--sometimes too much, as his foray into Kohlinar showed. He's got a lot of depth to him, and it sometimes disappoints me to see other Vulcans in the various Star Trek series played so shallowly. Also: pointy ears.
3. Star Trek: TNG--Data, as guessed by dethorats: Who doesn't love Data? His ongoing struggles to be more human make him hilariously funny and oddly poignant at the same time. His friendship with Geordi is one of the most honest, sweet things I've seen on TV. Oh, and he's got a song about his nether bits sung by Voltaire. XD
4. Star Trek: DS9--Dr. Bashir, as guessed by scribe_protra: Bashir is my favorite almost despite himself, because he can spend ten episodes being a prat and then do something utterly charming that shows that he's considerably deeper than the Gary Stu he keeps pretending to be. Close runner-up: Jadzia Dax.
5. Star Trek: Voyager
6. Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei--Itoshiki-sensei, as guessed by dethorats: DESPAIR! The state of the world has me in DESPAIR! Itoshiki-sensei makes me lol hard while at the same time making some pretty valid points. He's overly dramatic, not very good at teaching, and easily bullied by his own students, but I love him anyway--suicide attempts and all.
7. Rozen Maiden--Souseiseki, as guessed by plotbunny_tiff: Souseiseki is SRS BSNS. That's why I love her crossdressing butt so much. She's the sensible one and also the one who's willing to make hard choices. She was willing to engage in the Alice Game for keeps when most of the other dolls wouldn't, and she was willing to damage herself to make her master happy. She's also way less obnoxious than Suiseiseki.
8. Tin Man--Glitch, aka Ambrose, as guessed by mettathron: I love Glitch for his mildly daft charm, his somewhat scattered wits, and his willingness to do anything for his friends. Oh, and I continue to firmly believe that he's Azkadelia's father.
9. Discworld--Vimes, as guessed by maldoror_gw: I love the entire Anhk-Morpork Night Watch (even Nobby), but I love their commander especially. He's the kind of competent person that can arrange incompetent people in such a way as to make them productive, and that is a rare and useful skill in any world.
10. Bleach (this one is also a tie)--Ishida, as guessed by blodhemn: Ishida's a neurotic, twitchy, nigh-obsessive-compulsive fifteen-year-old. He's also a white knight by his reckoning, and has the guts to stand up and say "I don't care if I'm the last! I'll fight anyway!" Oh, you button-hating little twit. ♥
11. Bakuretsu Hunters--Marron Glace, as guessed by dethorats: Marron was actually my first bishonen, and he holds a special place in my heart because of it (even if he does rather frequently give off creepy incest vibes towards his older brother). His somewhat self-sacrificing nature and mad magic skillz make him super-awesome, and he beats out the girls mostly because I can't choose between Tira and Chocolat which one is my most favorite. Also: did I mention he's pretty?
12. Bastard!--Ninja Master Gaara, as guessed by plotbunny_tiff: My favorite wisecracking, hard-drinking, dragon-owning, fourth-wall-breaking ninja EVER. Fuck you Naruto, you're not hardcore enough to use a sword that sucks out your lifeforce and then drag yourself up the tentacle-spike that impaled you just so you can get a hit in with it. Also, he has the Magic Hentai Slime of Awesome. :D
13. Invader Zim--Dib, as guessed by scribe_protra: Dib, I love you, you crazy little paranoid freak. Your life is an episode of the X-Files and nobody sees it but you. I gotta root for the poor guy--even his dad thinks he's nuts.
14. X-Men--Nightcrawler, as guessed by blodhemn: I've loved Nightcrawler for a long, long time. I have both of his miniseries (the cracked-out '80s one and the retarded '00s one) and used to have a crush on his animated version. I love his swashbuckling nature, his inner conflicts about his appearance, and his intense, unshakable faith. It's a bit unusual, actually--normally, characters who are strongly identified as Christian put me off. But Nightcrawler reminds me that the batshit Christians don't speak for all of them.
15. Harry Potter--Neville Longbottom, as guessed by kakairupowns: I've loved Neville since the end of the first book, when his ten points were what gave Gryffindor the House Cup. I love him because he's determined and loyal and sweet and even though he's not very good at much, he tries so so so hard until he is. And his parents (I cried, I admit it) and his grandma and everything--he could have been the Boy Who Lived. During the last two books, I was wishing he had been.
16. Slayers--Xellos, as guessed by maldoror_gw: Xellos is an unrepentant bastard--the best kind there is. He's snarky and secretive and takes joy in other people's pain, and he makes a smashing girl. His interactions with Filia were the best part of Slayers Try, IMHO.
17. Getbackers
18. Shaman King
19. Star Wars
20. Heroes--Hiro, as guessed by maldoror_gw: I love Hiro to bits. I want to stick him in my pocket and feed him cookies. He's an otaku and a nerd and is absolutely overjoyed to have superpowers--in a way, he's the most "pure" of the Heroes characters. Also, his gay love for Ando is the sweetest thing ever.

Excellent news! Tiff got her job back, and her job is thinking about compensating her for the week and a half she spent out of work! YATTA! Also, SHANKS IN P.O.P. FORMAT.

To celebrate, have a meme. My tastes in music are somewhat eclectic, though I'm a little disappointed that none of my industrial music popped up on random. Actually, my Zen seemed to be determined to remind me of one of my exes, since it kept popping up music that I stole from him. Also, I'll be duly impressed if anyone comes up with #2 and #6, since they're from the same obscure local punk band.

Step 1: Put your itunes Zen on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 22 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game, post your own.

Ask me to take pictures of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about - it can be anything from my favorite shirt to my cellphone. Leave your requests as a comment to this entry. It's like a glimpse into my world!

No "SHOW US YOUR BOOBS" plz. You ask for boobs, I'll take pictures of that lactating!Zoro doujinshi I picked up at Anime USA.

At least this one's sort of writing-related.

1. Pick one of my characters, any one.
2. I will tell you the origin of his/her/its name.
3. I will tell you some random facts surrounding his/her/its creation.
4. I will give you a brief summary of his/her/its backstory, if you desire. Indicate yes or no.
5. You may ask me up to ten questions about the character.

Here's the list:
~Trillian Presca
~Sarah Berel
~Ethan Asheim
~Nicodemus Road
~Neisseria, 'Nema, Lassa, and Marburg (they're kind of a unit, but I can babble about them individually too)
~Aere
~The Mirrorshade Pirates (the random background pirate crew from Acquired Taste)

There's nothing quite like prying your cat off of your ball-jointed doll because she's decided that said doll's mohair wig smells like mommy.

In OP news, my favorite crack figure dealer on eBay contacted me about preordering a Franky P.o.P. Obviously, I went for it. I have also determined that I will not be writing a Jyabura backstory fic inspired by Patrick Wolf's Lycanthropy album, because...well, because. Just no. It goes over there in the "NO" pile with the serious Bon Clay backstory fic and the occasional urge to write the continuing adventures of Piefucker!Sanji.

In random memetardery, check out my pimp painting, yo.

Because I haven't done one in like a year and I need to stop being freaking lazy and stretch my writer-muscles: Drabble request meme. Anything you want, preferably from the OP fandom since I'm rather rusty with most of my other fandoms except for Harvey Birdman and Metalocalypse but you don't need to know that. Gimme character/pairing and prompt and I will sincerely attempt to write you something.

( I rather want to see this movie now. )

I saw 300. It was thewtiful.

( In other news, a meme that was surprisingly accurate, right down to my flaws. )
