I'll charm the chicks! - Hey, are those things real? Ha!

You can always tell when sbj's rl is less crazy because then I'm here, wasting not only my time, but everyone else's.

Hey there was a meme I totally forgot to mention yesterday! But whatevs, I'm doing it now and I totally stole it from somebody awesome (juxtaposie).

Comment with the name of a female character and I'll tell you why I love her.

Since this lj is pretty much exclusively PpG and that isn't fair, here is a list off the very tip top of my head of female characters I love/have loved unfailingly in my fannish lifetime. (Besides the obvious, of course.)

Toph (Avatar - not that shit movie, mind you)
Mizuno Ami/Sailor Mercury (DUH)
Tiffany Aching (from The Wee Free Men series/Pratchett's Discworld universe)
Granny Weatherwax (Discworld universe)
Zoe (FIREFLYYYYY)
Daria Morgendorffer (MTV's Daria)
Hiiragi Kagami (Lucky Star - I fucking LOVE this girl)
Kanzaki Hitomi (Vision of Escaflowne)
Lola Bunny (Space Jam YEAH I'M FUCKING SERIOUS)
Liz Lemon (30 Rock)
Susan (Death's Granddaughter from the Discworld universe)
Midori (Murakami's novel Norwegian Wood)
Sawachika Eri (School Rumble)
Takano Akira (School Rumble)
Nagato Yuki (Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)

What the fuck, why is there so much anime/manga on this list D: I keep going through things I love in my head, but then I'm all Oh wait, my favorite character in that one is male, so damn... which, interestingly enough, most of my favorite characters in western animation are male characters. Maybe there is an interesting reason behind this...

There are probably about 8 bajillion more that I cannot remember for the fucking life of me, so if someone occurs to you that I might like try asking and I'll see what I have to say :B

Toph!

...and OMG Lola Bunny! XD I loved her too. As silly as this is she was one of my idols when I was little; she had attitude, she kicked ass in sports and she was pretty. I waited forever after that movie for them to introduce her in the show (cause that would have been cool).

I swear all of these will start sounding the same after awhile! Toph will not stand for your shenanigans. She does not exist to take your shit! She will kick your ass! And then you will have to contend with the fact that your ass was kicked by a BLIND TWELVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL. SUCK IT.

Toph is just like a giant walking middle finger to the rest of the world, and yet she still knows how to love people and give them second chances (when she reached out to Zuko and got her feet burned for her trouble my little heart just went OH TOPH YOU ROCK (no pun intended)), and sometimes she just wants to be a pretty little girl too (even though I'm sure if she could see, she would've been all KATARA WTH DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK THIS IS ATTRACTIVE MAKEUP?!).

I was so happy when Toph showed up; aside from the splendid animation she was practically the sole saving grace of the series for me. I tend to really dislike female characters whose apparent sole purpose is to nag the boys and be "the sensible one," which Katara quite frankly was, particularly in S1, so having Toph show up not only pressed all my female-characters-that-sbj-loves buttons, she made the team very well-rounded and feel like a real team, period.

ALSO, WUT. TOPH IS THE GREATEST EARTHBENDER THAT EVER LIVED. SHE BENT FUCKING METAL. SHE BENT METAL. I CHEERED DURING THAT SCENE. I CELEBRATED WITH AWESOME!CAKE. TOPH IS ONE GIANT SLICE OF AVATAR AWESOME!CAKE, AND I LOVE HER.

As for Lola Bunny (squee!) she's going to be in the newest Looney Tunes show they have coming out! (Which looks to be way more awesome than her previous incarnations in those stupid Loonatics and Baby Looney Tunes shows, urgh.) I really hope WB doesn't screw this one up.
