meme

[sharpeslass]

I got me a meme from lovely and wonderful Sarene. If you’d like to play, just comment, and I'll give you four fandoms, then you tell me who your favorite character is in each fandom and why. Pics are ♥ but optional. You can do this here or in your journal or both

Given how you feel about Garak (about whom I knew nothing before this despite having watched some DS9 episodes my husband, faithful scifi fan that he is, had taped) and Kyouya, I'm surprised you don't like Sanzo better than I think you do. :)

I like Komui a lot as well, although he'd be tied with Lenalee, Allan, and Lavi for my favorite D. Gray-man character, keeping in mind I'm not up to date on the manga. I don't generally watch anime; I don't enjoy watching on the computer and have plenty already to watch on the TV.

So smart, fucked up, suffering, and/or repressed, and with dark hair? I guess you have a type. :D

Feel free to ask me, although I've already answered this question for Saiyuki, Gravitation, Loveless, Buffy, Fruits Basket, and Uraboku. PM or e-mail me if you can't figure out four more fandoms I like. Trying TV shows I watch instead of manga/anime will probably be more fruitful.

Ah, but Garak and Kyouya are both erudite and socially adept. They are willing and able to pull off the perfect toast on any given social occasion. Sanzo, on the other hand, would grunt, swear, turn red and leave the party. Social smoothness impresses me (likely because it is not something I possess!)

Let me think of some shows for you..

[lawless523]

Hakkai and Komui are socially adept as well. I hadn't picked up on that similarity from your descriptions, though.

I tend to project a certain level of social adeptness onto Sanzo beause I'm so much like him in some ways (though more like Hakkai in others). I'm not (usually) smooth either, and I hate small talk. But I think you're exaggerating a bit when it comes to a toast. It would depend on whether he knew about it in advance and what the occasion was. If it was a ceremonial occasion, he'd probably do fine; if it was a roast, or something requiring a lighter touch, like Goku's wedding, he'd probably be tongue-tied.

My profile and posts may be of some help. I use tags, so "television" will bring up everything where I talk about TV shows. I can think of two you should be able to come up with easily; one I fangirl a lot these days and the other is related to a show I already covered and features another megane you like. *hint hint*

[sharpeslass]

Can you tell me which ones you've already done for other people?

[caeseria]

I love your succinct and short take on Hakkai! ♥ I knew you'd be picking Kyouya as soon as I saw Ouran pop up there.

I'm not familiar with D-Gray Man other than you mentioning it in passing... and your guy there looks a lot less freaky than other pictures I think I must have seen.

Can't place Garak at all. Apart from the fact that DS9 killed me ded of apathy, I don't remember him as a character. And you say he was in the thing the whole way through? This vexes me greatly that I can't remember...

[sharpeslass]

He was a "recurring guest star". He started out coming on every now and then but by the last three seasons was playing a pivotal role in the Dominion War arc. DS9 is one you have to stick with - the payoff is there, but it isn't in the first few seasons and later, if you miss one episode, you're kinda screwed.

[caeseria]

Ohhhh okay that makes sense then. Was this all part of that founder's stuffs that went on? I seem to remember catching part of the last season of DS9 with some of that stuff going on. It was actually dare I say... interesting. *sucks*

You can gimme four if you like! :)

[sharpeslass]

I feel like I know most of your favorites, but I guess it's always nice to find out why... and to see photos. I'm not going to list WK because I'm afraid I'll have to look at a picture of that half-dressed man-whore Yohji. I will give you saiyuki though, because I don't mind looking at that foolishly-dressed man-whore, Gojyo. (Do your RL men have as appalling dress sense as your fictional ones? Just curious... you are British; one never knows what you people are going to have on from day to day). I digress:

Saiyuki
Harry Potter
Naruto *eye rolls*
Dr. Who (all seasons)

Go to it. (let me know if you've already done any of these for anyone else; I know I'm late in getting to this).

[seshats_prodigy]

Totally agree with you on the whole men in glasses thing! **has a drooling fangirl moment** Hakkai is ♥♥ and I'd totally kidnap him if I saw him on the street and hold him captive in my basement for all eternity. I also adore Kyouya and think your description of him as 'Hakkai-lite' is very fitting, I think! (And like you, I also love the idea of Kyouya and Tamaki...curse you, Haruhi!! **lol**)

Brilliant dark haired men in glasses is ultra win... **happy sigh**

Don't know D. Gray Man at all, but the character you described sounds like he'd be my cup of tea, too!

As for poor Garak...well, maybe he secretly wears glasses when he's off doing some tailoring - or chalk it up to the fact that he probably would, but it doesn't look like anyone in the ST-verse wears glasses because they all just get their vision lasik-ed. ~_^ Hey, that's my theory and I'm going with it!!!!

Ok, rambling now... Eh heh... ^_^;;

[sharpeslass]

Actually, you are totally right on the glasses thing. In wrath of khan, McCoy gives Kirk some antique glasses because Kirk is allergic to the chemical they usually use to correct vision problems. No glasses in the future. Woe to we Megane lovers !! (and go you for being the first to actually know Garak).

[seshats_prodigy]

Hee, go me! (How lame am I? I've seen all the ST movies because the hubs has them all, but I can't remember all the details from them. LOL)

I actually don't mind Garak at all. He amuses me greatly because he's just so damned evasive all the time. ~_^

[suanz]

Me too. OTP - Kyouya X Tamaki!!

[theskywasblue]

I love your takes on all these characters - though I've never seen/read D-Gray Man...

And that picture of Kyoya is....rawr!

[theskywasblue]

I should mention that I will happily do this meme as well, if you're so inclined...

[sharpeslass]

Sorry for the delay on this one. Let me know if I give you any you've already done for anyone else. I know you're supernatural obsessed, but I'm not going to include it because I haven't watched it yet (except that one episode my co-workers son was in) and don't know who anyone is.
Hmmmm...

Firefly
Saiyuki
star trek (any incarnation)
Wild Adapter

[theskywasblue]

Sorry...I've already done Saiyuki and Wild Adapter (Also Supernatural and InuYasha) any other ones you'd like to hear about?

[sharpeslass]

I think he could fight us off... of course, he wouldn't want to hurt us. It would be like when all of the resurrected humans went after him and he didn't want to fight them; he'd have to jump out a window and hope for Jeep to catch him.... Fangirls are determined though - we might jump out after him (I would).
Megane's rule the anime world. They are sadly scarce in real life. Curses to contact lenses and all they stand for. *shakes fist*
