Favourite Characters Meme
I should really be studying right now... *cough*
I've see this meme floating around for awhile, and have been meaning to do it...
I) I'll post ten things I'm a fan of.
II) You will attempt to guess my favourite character from each.
III)
Upon your success, I'll put that line in bold, append the correct
answer, and write a sentence or so about my affection for that
character. (well, may or may not do the sentence...)
1. Angel Wesley, guessed by
garran. And this comes as a surprise to who? XD I don't even know where to start in explaining why I love him so much; I suppose it comes down in part to my fascination with seeing how he changed and developed over the years, compounded by Alexis's brilliant acting. I loved him when he was bumbling around and falling over things in season 1, and when he was dark and broody and scruffy in season 4, and I love that his character development between those 2 points (and beyond) was completely organic.
2. Lost Sawyer, guessed by
garran. Sex appeal aside (*ahem*), I find him a fascinating and multi-faceted character, and I'm looking forward to see where they go with his character development, especially in terms of his relationship with Jack (and Kate, I suppose). And he's one of those characters who can make you go from laughing to angsting in a moment...
3. Harry Potter Severus Snape, guessed by
bk635. I find him one of the most intriquing, 3-dimensional characters in the books, possibly even the most. I love the ambiguous morality about him, and the idea that he can be a nasty son-of-a-bitch but still be on the side of good. And I remain optimistic even after HBP. :)
4. Firefly Mal, half guessed by
garran, because his guess made me realize that I really have 2 favourites... so, there's still one more to guess. :)
5. Buffy (not sure that I really have a favourite, actually, but I'll choose the closest answer. ^^) Spike, guessed by
garran. He's the closest I have to a favourite, anyway. As least until s6/7.
6. Lord of the Rings (it's actually a tie for this one, so either answer will count) One of them's Faramir (book!Faramir, that is), guessed by
bk635 after a not-so-subtle clue. ;) Copy-pasting my explanation about why I liked him from my comment below: I'm not sure how to explain what I liked about him... in part it's because I admire his strength of character in not being tempted by the ring, which is why the changes to his character in the movies (TTT, anyway) irritated me. I liked the contrast between him and his brother; both how Boromir was tempted by the ring while Faramir wasn't, and the contrasts in their personalities (Boromir as the strong, proud, ambitious warrior, and Faramir as the quieter, gentler, and more peaceful man who was constantly being overshadowed by his brother). Also his relationship with Eowyn. Although admittedly it's been quite awhile since I've read the books, so I'm a bit iffy on that assessment...
7. Naruto Gaara, guessed by
bronzejarith.
8. House House, guessed by
bk635. Yeah, pretty typical answer, but he really does steal the show... and kudos to BK for also guessing my second favourite, Wilson. ^_^
9. Smallville Lex, guessed by
garran. What can I say, I like morally ambiguous characters...
10. Full Metal Alchemist Roy, guessed by
bk635.
Babylon 5 is notably missing from the list because there is no way that I can choose between them... I love pretty much everyone on it equally. ^_^

A few guesses semi-at-random:
1. Wesley
2. Sawyer
4. Mal
5. Tara
9. Lex Luthor
-Andy H.
no subject
Not bad. :) Wes is indeed my favourite Angel character, by far. Favourite overall Buffyverse character, really. Sawyer's right, too, and so is Lex. And I've suddenly realized that I in fact have 2 favourite Firefly characters, so I'll give you that one, too. ^_^ And were those completely random guesses or have you been reading my past entries? I've never exactly been subtle about my love for Wes, trust me...
no subject
I hadn't seen Firefly yet when I did this meme, but I think that if I tried to think of a favourite character I'd just end up listing all of them (except maybe Inara).
4. River?
5. I may as well guess Spike.
-Andy
no subject
I realized that when you guessed Mal. ^^ They're all so awesome... And no, it's not River.
Among others, yeah, I guess it'd be Spike. I honestly don't really have a Buffy favourite, but he's probably closest.
no subject
3. Harry Potter - Snape? Or that other guy (What's his name? Draco?)
6. Lord of the Rings - Aragorn, and um.. The elf, played by Orlando Bloom. I forget what his name is.
7. Naruto - I really dunno. Kakashi? I thought you weren't into Naruto anymore..
8. House - House, and um.. That other guy in your icon who House is often paired with?
10. Full Metal Alchemist - Roy?
I'm so terrible at names..
no subject
LotR - nope, sorry. I like Aragorn a lot, though, and he's prob my 3rd or so favourite. And while I like Legolas well enough, I've never found hiim a particularly interesting character... He never really gets to do much. ^^;
Naruto - nope. And I am, I just haven't gotten around to catching up to the latest manga chapers.
House, yeah. And yeah on Wilson as my 2nd fav, too. :)
FMA - yup.
3/5, pretty good! ^_^
no subject
I haven't heard you talk much about Naruto, so Kakashi was just a shot in the dark, basically.
no subject
Kakashi's close, prob 2nd or 3rd fav...
no subject
It's Gimli, right? I knew you were into that midget stuff. :o
Having only read part of the series, and not being able to remember the movies well enough, I'm running out of ideas. So you can just go ahead and spill it. :p
Guessing at the Naruto one is futile; there's so many characters...
no subject
Nuh uh. There are other people on my f-list, I'll wait to see if they weigh in. :) And you were close with Boromir, if that gives you a clue...
no subject

I'll give up on the Naruto one. I'm thinking it's someone like Neji, Sasuke, or Itachi, but I'm really not sure.
Can we do that thing we spoke about over e-mail sometime this weekend? Or will you be out at UBC the whole time?
no subject
Lol, nope, still wrong on the Naruto one. ;)
I'm not sure... I have my exam on Saturday at 3:30, then we're going up to the island until Tuesday. I'll ask my parents if we can wait until Sunday morning, then we could do it Saturday night (though it would be late-ish; prob around 9). Barring that, Tuesday early-ish afternoon would work, I think. I'll let you know once I've talked to them. Also, I'm here for at least part of tomorrow, possibly all day, so we can do it then.
no subject
I'm a fucking genius.
Now. . .Which female Naruto character is likable?
....
Maybe I should rethink my theory.
Saturday evening would be cool. Do you have Christmas lights up?
no subject
no subject
Female characters, like that woman on Angel.. The one whose posters you have up all over your room. Seriously, I can't remember her name. :-/ I guess this is what happens when they pretty much take Angel off the air.
no subject
I miss having Angel on at a time when I could watch it... :(
