what am i doing, posting at work?

[essbeejay]

and without fic to upload? jen, you suck D:<

deeply encrusted in the bowels of work. figured i'd fill in the blank spaces with something fun and useless.

Tell me of a fandom you know I know of and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character I would shag anytime
7. The character I'd want to be like
8. The character I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

and as far as fandoms go? let's see... besides the obvious, there's also teen titans, digimon, avatar, south park, some... other... stuff... why don't you just ask me if i watch something and see how i respond? we'll work out the details later ;)

still writing.

In light of the new movie and last book... Harry Potter?

1. The first character I first fell in love with
ron! though i can't remember why. possibly because he was such a snarky bastard and got all the best lines :D
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
mcgonagall. huzzah for female authority figures that kick ass!
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
another case where i'm not sure how many people love ginny. and i don't think it's so much a character issue as it is an issue i have with how jkr handled her. i didn't have a problem with her until book 5, when she suddenly developed a backbone O_o yeah, i know the book says early on "oh, we usually can't get her to shut up, she's totally different when harry's not around," but i was not sold on it in the least. jkr would've done well to show us how ginny decided to quit on the harry infatuation, rather than just tell us :\ no points for that one, jkr.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
well, it depends on what aspect of fandom you're in ^^; but i adore draco, and not for any particular reason other than i instantly saw a character who was being prepped for redemption from the moment his name first appeared on the page. and until book 6 jkr makes him such a bully, someone you cannot help but viciously hate, so you know when his redemption finally comes, it's going to be freaking epic.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
hm... i suppose it might be dumbledore. probably happened around book 5, when he served up that excuse of loving harry too much that he had to detach himself from him... what? you're the one of the oldest, wisest wizards in the world, and somehow you believe that's the right thing to do? albus, you need a new counselor.
6. The character I would shag anytime
aw, ron, he just needs some loving ♥
7. The character I'd want to be like
mcgonagall much?
8. The character I'd slap
blargh, ginny
9. A pairing that I love
AHAHAHAHA. harry/draco, and looking back on it i can't really explain why, other than harry's such a messed up kid that healthy, normal romantic relationships really aren't for him. and i'm not implying that gay relationships aren't normal or healthy (because they totally are), but that as such a messed up kid he would find some sort of bizarre comfort in someone who's so abusive to him. and draco's mostly an idiot. (well, they both are.) i'm not sure what made me fall in love with this pairing, actually, but a large part of it may have to do with the absolutely fabulous quality of the h/d fanfic out there. it's criminal, how beautiful it is.
10. A pairing that I despise
harry/ginny. before book 5 it would've blind infatuation coupled with disinterest, and now it's i'm-way-too-good-for-harry-effing-potter-seriously-you-have-no-idea coupled with lonely horny boy hormones. harry is destined to go out like han solo: alone (merely in the romantic sense) and celibate. a cruel fate, but that's how i've felt from book 1. (this probably is what allows me to have my h/d fantasy pairing :B)
