No update for you

As evidenced by my deep love for McCoy, I have a thing for characters who are difficult on the outside but full of strength and caring.

Have you read Carol Kendall's The Gammage Cup (1959)?

[muchabstracted]

I haven't. I will put The Gammage Cup on my to read list.

I will put The Gammage Cup on my to read list.

It's a children's novel; it has problems, but it does some unusual things and you might like my favorite character. He has awesome powers of cranky.

[muchabstracted]

I think I have heard the name before. You know, I can see cranky being a pattern of yours, too, what with Snape and Boober.

And, four fandoms for you, should you choose to meme about them! Slings & Arrows, Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Iliad, and The Lady's Not For Burning.

Unrelatedly, you know Theatre@First is doing The Lady's Not for Burning in February?

I will not kill you! I will ask you for fandoms. (But for the sake of producing interesting answers... try not to give me questions whose answers are Bran, Fakir or Lyra.)

[muchabstracted]

Yay fandoms! I can handle that restriction.

Hmmm. Naomi Novik's Temeraire series, Mabinogion, Orphan's Tales, Avatar: The Last Airbender

That was difficult, given the number of additional fandoms I have rejected by dint of already knowing enough of your answer for them.

[rymenhild]

Well played. I think the only one I actually can pin down to a clear favorite off the top of my head is Orphan's Tales, and even there I have a close second choice. I shall ponder.

[muchabstracted]

I assumed Orphan's Tales would be Sigrid or Dunarzad -- that was the only reason it made it on the list.

I love Amanda's stuff! I have a Jolly Roger soap dispenser in the kitchen. I really need to get a mustache mug, as well.

[muchabstracted]

...A Jolly Roger in the kitchen is pretty intimidating. I'm picturing the Pirate Booty pirates, saying to each other, "THAR BE POISON."

I am so grateful to Magpie for introducing me to her work.

[gilana]

Hey, it's soap! You don't want to eat it!

I first saw her stuff at ArtBeat, back when she was still in the area. I couldn't the little robots, bought a votive holder with one.

[muchabstracted]

Oh, I love the robots. Something about the multi-sized eyes.

...Unrelatedly, did you know that Lush is selling little bath bombs in the shape of robots?
