Meme Time!

[falafel_musings]

I'm heavily into my novel writing but a little distraction keeps me ticking over sooooo...meme!

Stolen from waltzmatildahGive me a character and I will tell you

Comments

[waltzmatildah]

Stolen from waltzmatildah You're the second person to steal this and I LOVE IT SO. I feel like I'm contributing to the maintenance of LJ as a Cool Place to hang out. YAY!

Characters, characters...!

Alison Hendrix and, um, Jane Margolis

♥

[falafel_musings]

Jane Margolis * How I feel about this character = I feel very sad over Jane. I think she had great intelligence, talent and potential (more so than Jesse even) and it was all destroyed by her addition

Brenda Chenowith!

[falafel_musings]

Brenda Chenowith * How I feel about this character = I think Brenda is incredibly cool. I want to BE Brenda at this point in my life but I'm just not cool and outgoing enough

Yay Smekday!! Tip ♥ ♥ ♥

That was just an outpouring of love for Tip, for the meme I pick: Marie Schrader.

[falafel_musings]

Smekday has cheered me up so much. I'll trust in all your reading recs!

Marie Schrader * How I feel about this character = I love Marie. I do think she is bitchy, snooty and erratic and all the things other fans hate her for. But I love Marie for all her cute little flaws

[bessiemaemucho]

Yay! I love doing readers advisory so I'll happily suggest books any time you're in the market for reading material :)

Also, I figured someone else would ask for Jesse, but maybe everyone is thinking that.

[falafel_musings]

What are your very favorite YA books in the SF/fantasy genre then?

Do you want me to answer for Jesse too? Okay then.

Jesse Pinkman * How I feel about this character = I have many many Jesse FEELS. I swear I've lost sleep over Jesse Pinkman. I've caught myself worrying about him when I'm at work. I often have to remind myself that he doesn't really EXIST

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett.

Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett
* How I feel about this character = I don't like or agree with anything she says or does. That said she's a great antagonist and I'm pleased she's been made a regular.
* All the people I ship romantically with this character = Nobody?
* My non-romantic OTP for this character = Again nobody. Tucky is very much a loner.
* My unpopular opinion about this character = I guess just that I think Taryn Manning is giving a great performance. I've heard a lot of negative comments on her acting but I think she's great.
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. = I would have loved to see more of Tucky's court case and exactly how her lawyers got her into a low security prison for the unprovoked murder of an innocent woman.
* Something about them I consider true, even though it's only my head canon/fanon = I think Tucky, like Alex, was probably bullied at school. If Tucky wasn't a raving homophobe maybe they could even have been friends.

[daybreak777]

Aww, the last sentence makes me feel bad for her. She might have been abused as a kid too. She takes offense so easily. Something didn't go right for her as a child.

Thanks for writing about her. And calling her Tucky. :-)

[falafel_musings]

Actually when Alex's flashback first started I thought it was a Tucky flashback at first. I really can't imagine that she had a great childhood.

Jaime Lannister :)

[falafel_musings]

Jaime Lannister * How I feel about this character = To be honest, I'm not a huge Jaime fan. I only started to like his character when he was paired up with Brienne. The Jaime redemption story still hasn't won me over. I guess I can't ever forgive what he did to Bran

[ever_neutral]

Sarah Manning? And Cosima Niehaus, while we're at it.

[falafel_musings]

Is it okay if I just do Sarah? It's a year since I watched OB so my memory is fuzzy and I can hardly remember Cosima's story.

Sarah Manning * How I feel about this character = I like Sarah a lot. I like that she's a petty crook and con-artist, rather than a good girl hero. And I especially love seeing English characters on US shows who aren't posh upper class stereotypes

[ever_neutral]

Pretty much agreed all round. Is it actually unpopular to think Sarah's not cut out to raise Kira? Sarah being a Bad Mother is actually one of my favourite things about her, insofar as she has the best intentions but just does not have her shit together.
