Back from Lake George!

[makeste]

It was awesome, even though it rained on the last day (we just packed up and headed to an indoor arcade to ride bumper cars and play laser tag instead). BUT ANYWAY, I AM BACK NOW, and in a post-ish mood. So have a post! With some memes and stuff.


1. Late as usual with this (though only a day late, which actually isn't that bad for me XD), but Happy Birthday, windgoddess688!


2. Why oh whyyyy did I decide to finally catch up with the One Piece manga (I had stopped a few years ago shortly before the end of Thriller Bark, so I had a blast reading through the Impel Down and Marineford arcs) right when Oda is about to take a one-month break to prep for a timeskip? SOB SOB CRY. At least the timeskip in question sounds fucking awesome.


3. Meme! From smilypie:

Reply and I'll give you four fandoms. You then have to make an entry writing about your favorite character from each fandom, and why.

She gave me Avatar: The Last Airbender, Death Note, Durarara!!, and Fullmetal Alchemist.


Avatar: The Last Airbender

ZUKO. Oh, Zuko. Where to start with this kid? Well, first of all, he is an idiot; let us establish that here and now. He is, however, a very endearing idiot, as well as a very determined, caring, well-meaning, and astonishingly brave idiot. And he spent so much time throughout the first two-and-a-half seasons teeter-tottering between making the right and wrong decisions, and even though he KEPT MAKING THE WRONG ONES!!, I couldn't help but keep on rooting for him. It was clear that eventually he was going to realize whose side he was really meant to be on, and that once he did, there was an extremely high probability that he was going to be INCREDIBLY FUCKING AWESOME. And he was! BY GOSH, HE WAS.

Death Note

Yeah, Light is my favorite. In fact, I don't mind admitting that despite the fact that he was not only misguided but clearly insane, I was rooting for him the whole while. (Sorry, L. XD) The thing is, he's fascinating. He's so brilliant and yet so profoundly arrogant! He screws himself over right from the start with his need to prove to L that he's superior to him, and yet he's so fucking smart that despite his numerous screw-ups, he manages to pull out save after save in the tensest situations imaginable. And the plan he eventually concocts to take out L once and for all is one of the most elaborate and ingenious schemes I've ever read. Basically, he's my favorite because it's so much fun to read about him; there's so much suspense and it's never boring. At least for the first half of the series.

Durarara!!

I think this is actually the first time I've posted about DRRR!! in this journal, lol. But anyway, my favorite character is Kida, no contest. I LOVE THE DRRR!! CAST, especially the main trio and Celty (and Shinra! SHINRA WHY SO ADORABLE), but Kida won me over right from the start. He's kind of like Yamamoto on steroids; he's so charming and extroverted and EVERYONE IS MY FRIEND!!... except that unlike Yamamoto, he also has a hidden dark side not too far from the surface, where he's secretly burying all this trauma and guilt and insecurity. And he does an admirable job of trying to deal with it all himself, and doing his best to protect his friends from all of that as well (and I love him all the more for that), but at the end of the day he's still just a kid, and needless to say I spent a lot of time during the last third of the series battling the need to just REACH THROUGH THE SCREEN and take him home with me and feed him cookies and cuddle him. T_T

Fullmetal Alchemist

I love the entire FMA cast as well, but Edward is far and away my favorite. (HAHA AND SPEAKING OF CHARACTERS WHO HAVE PILES OF ANGST THAT THEY ATTEMPT TO STRUGGLE WITH ALL ON THEIR OWN...) Anyway, this probably isn't too much of a surprise, as he's very similar to Gokudera--tsundere, genius, glutton-for-punishment, etc. They have even been known to look alike! And you know, it's impossible not to like Ed. For all of his angry bitchery, he's a great kid. The kind you want to give headpats and noogies to. Maybe I should just kidnap him along with Kida.


4. And since the previous meme put me in a character ranting mood, have one more, from aroundight:

Give me a character from any fandom I know at least fairly well, and I will tell you:

A) My OTP
B) The runner up
C) The anti-ship
D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character
E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why

I love this kind of meme. Possibly too much. XD


5. I swear I didn't forget about the other meme I was also in the progress of doing! I'll resume that tomorrow, promise. I JUST COULDN'T RESIST THESE. I'M SORRY.

I love Edward as well!!! *_* But Alphonse for me is the big hero. I can't even think about not sleeping. I felt so terrible for Alphonse all the time... ;__; (and eating??? God, I would die for sure)

For the meme I'll ask you a different fandom (that I saw that you like)
James-Sawyer from Lost for you. (he, Jack and Desmond are mine my favorites! along with Locke)

[makeste.livejournal.com]

I love Al too. He's sort of the Yamamoto to Ed's Gokudera (why yes, I do use KHR characters to make analogies in all of my other fandoms); it must have been so hard for him, but he's so strong throughout everything. It boggles the mind, really. I would have literally gone insane. But he not only kept it together himself, he kept it together for his brother. AL YOU ARE A SAINT.

AND YAY, SAWYER. I LOVE YOU. SO MUCH. (He is hands down my favorite in LOST.)

A) My OTP Sawyer/Juliet. I still don't understand how they managed to sell it so thoroughly in so little time. But man did I buy it. And then of course the finale of season 5 had to come along and devastate me to my very core. Thankfully, the series finale a year later more than made up for it... although if anything, I was crying even more. XD

B) The runner up Sawyer/Kate. I did eventually convert to Jate by the end, but I very much enjoyed Sawyer and Kate's flirty phase, and was rooting for them for a good long while. Kate tended to bring out the best in him, even though the reverse was unfortunately not true.

C) The anti-ship Sayid. Yeah, he and Sawyer did manage to get past the whole hating each other thing by the end of the series, but that's pretty much all I can say for that pairing. It's one of those pairings where I have no clue why it has a fandom (but it does, sure enough). Or did, anyway. Idk.

D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character Everyone loves Sawyer now, but I will have you know that I loved him from the start! I even loved him even when he was being a complete dick. Even during that one episode where he and Charlie teamed up to maim Sun and steal the guns and everything. I was just like, "Oh, Sawyer, you dick," and that was it. So I don't know if that counts as an unpopular fannish opinion or not, but it's all I can come up with. XD

E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why Jack. I did love their rivalbromance (and there's a Brokeback Mountain parody floating around somewhere on the Internet that I love with all my heart and soul), but there's no denying that Sawyer loves the ladies.

[morgrix.livejournal.com]

For me it's hard to say which one is my favorite in Lost. I love so many plp in that show that I can can go all day long talking about it.

My OTP is Sawyer/Juliet as well!!!!! *___* When she died I couldn't stop crying. And the last episode I can't say, because I was crying from the start.

Well, I'm a Kate hater, so I don't ship her with anyone. I don't like her, she is very selfish, and there are some rare moments when I wasn't annoyed by her. Like this one:


I could never EVER ship Sawyer with Sayid!!! hahaha, but it's funny!

I also LOVE Sawyer first season! (I loved him till the end!!!) I was watching the first season with a friend some weeks ago, and I didn't remember how sexy he was!!! OMG, I loved him even more.

I'll confess to you that my "never-gonna-happen-but-I-wish-it-would" ship is Sawyer x Jack. I love it when they are acting together, and last season, when they really worked together, was beautiful! *_*
