Meme!

Comment to this post, and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

My questions, from ever_neutral, under the cut.

1) FAVOURITE MORALLY DEPRAVED PSYCHOS.








Basically, all the vampires. And Logan Echolls, but I don't seem to have a gif of him that's not making out with Veronica? lol


2) Is shipping Damon/Elena the ultimate act of masochism, or is it the ultimate act of masochism.
FUCK MY LIFE, BASICALLY.


3) Favourite thing/s to cook?
Hmmmm, I think the most fun for me is trying new things, even though half the time it ends in tears and recriminations. I also quite enjoy baking.

4) Things that turn you off in ships?
Functionality? LOL. Dysfunction that is not acknowledged or gets presented as ~romance. Artificial roadblocks purely for the sake of angst. Long, drawn-out will they/won't they nonsense. Other characters telling me who to ship. Soul mates/destiny. Love triangles. Schmoop. Female characters who are there only to support the man's narrative.

5) Fandoms (books/movies/shows) that surprised you?
Hmmmm. Surprised me as in I didn't expect to like them? ALL THE VAMPIRE SHOWS, basically. I was firmly anti-vampire for the first twenty-one years of my life, and then along came BtVS. And then AtS. And then The Dresden Files. And then TVD. And now I'm watching Being Human. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?

6) This bowler hat. Yay or nay? (Costume spoiler for TVD 3.16 btw.)
YAY! If only because it covers The Hair. Ian, I will COME AFTER YOU WITH SCISSORS DON'T THINK I WON'T.

7) Favourite Skins season?
Two, because it has the deconstruction of Tony/Sid/Michelle, and Tony-Maxxie friendship, and Chris/Jal, and Chris-Cassie friendship (even though I think I prefer Cassie's S1 arc?), and Effy and Pandora. Granted, I hated Anwar/Sketch, but I can deal.

Hmmmmm. Okay:

1. Three of your favorite icons (that you've made).
2. First fandom experience?
3. TV show/book/movie you wish had a bigger fandom?
4. What characteristic do all your OTPs have in common?

7. Your dream job.

1) {insert a bajillion ripped-out hearts and black flowers decorated with arterial spray here}

2) CORRECT ANSWER

Functionality? LOL.

TROLOLOLOLOL +1

And yes to all your other turn-offs. Except sometimes I like well-done love triangles.

5) EMBRACE IT.

6) IAN HAS CUT HIS HAIR (finally), DID YOU KNOW :O

7) I can never choose between S1 and S2.

Except sometimes I like well-done love triangles.

Fair enough. I do, too... although I usually wish they'd stop being triangles and JUST BE OT3 ALREADY.

IAN HAS CUT HIS HAIR (finally), DID YOU KNOW :O

I DID NOT. OH GOD OH GOD. HOLD ME.

[(Anonymous)]

Do me! (I already asked ceciliaj but she hasn't gotten back to me so I'll probably be doing a list of fourteen eventually). And yes to all the vampires!

[next_to_normal]

I would, but I don't know who you are, mysterious anon!

ooooh, fun pls?

Surprised me as in I didn't expect to like them? ALL THE VAMPIRE SHOWS, basically. I was firmly anti-vampire for the first twenty-one years of my life, and then along came BtVS. And then AtS.

DUDE ME TOO. Buffy is the GATEWAY DRUG to genre, I swear. But yeah, I watched the show because it went up on hulu when I was in one of my Episodes in the summer of 2008 and now SF/F is my FAAAAAVORITE.

[next_to_normal]

Hahaha, Buffy is totally a gateway drug. I've always been a big SF fan, but fantasy generally didn't do it for me. (I had this misconception that all vampire stories were basically Twilight, except this was before I'd actually heard of Twilight. Which is a weird way of describing it, but you get me, right? lol)

1. Epic fight to the death. Who would win, Laura Roslin or Wesley Wyndham-Price?
2. Character NOT on a vampire show whom you would most like to see as a vampire?
3. Character you would most like to see as a vampire slayer?
4. Most infuriating character arc?
5. What is your Damon crossover OTP?
6. Favorite kind of pie?
7. TV show no one is watching but everyone should.
