(no subject)
Two weeks ago I posted the 'ask me my five favourite fandom things' meme... first up was crackpig who wanted to know about fandom hairdos. Okey dokey. Who am I to argue?
1. Professor Severus Snape.
"Maybe he's ill!" said Ron hopefully.
"Maybe he's left," said Harry, 'because he missed out on the Defense Against the Dark Arts job again!"
"Or he might have been sacked!" said Ron enthusiastically. "I mean, everyone hates him --"
"Or maybe," said a very cold voice right behind them, "he's waiting to hear why you two didn't arrive on the school train."
Harry spun around. There, his black robes rippling in a cold breeze, stood Severus Snape. He was a thin man with sallow skin, a hooked nose and greasy, shoulder-length black hair, and at this moment, he was smiling in a way that told Harry he and Ron were in very deep trouble.
Greasy, stringy, lank, I don't care. Snape's hair makes my top five because it is attached to Alanrus Snapeman, and he's worth it, dammit.
2. Kathryn Janeway
In season 5, Janeway's Power Bob replaced the slightly suspect and gravity defying Captain's Bun, which in its turn had replaced the She Can Wear This Weave While Her Own Grows In Bun. The Power Bob endowed badassery and derring-do to by-the-book Janeway, seeing her through the darkest and most depressing stretches of the Delta Quadrant, an alter-future in an icy alien grave, and an encounter with the Borg Queen, to name but a few highlights. Eventually it saw her find earth, in what might possibly be the biggest "fuck you!" ending of any show ever.
3. Delenn
Recently hatched from a space cocoon and newly sporting human hair and, uh, other female accoutrements that are the subject of another blog entirely, Delenn has been blithely going about her typical Minbari hygiene routine for a good half dozen episodes or so. Lately though, her hair has been refusing to cooperate. It might have something to do with the caustic skin strippers she's been using all over as opposed to the traditional human water rituals.
4. Karl "Helo" Agathon
As you can see from this screencap from Battlestar, Helo sported the most outrageous mullet this side of the Milky Way. While many men would have been demoralized by the sniggers and muffled giggles that followed him any time he took a stroll through the old Bucket, he held his coiffured head high and remained true to himself and his hairstyle of choice. He firmly believes that his business in front and party in back is what makes him the man he is today.
5. Roxula
It might have been the shittest movie of the year, but Roxula had me in a tizz for many months. Whether he was walking upside down on the ceiling, stroking Gypsy McStereotype's boobage or just clomping around his castle looking pissed, I just wanted to grab onto that ponytail and make him do bad, bad things. How many men do you know who can rock a barrette? Just this one, am I right?
