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 ([livejournal.com profile] 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

I THINK THE EASIER QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT DON'T YOU LOVE ABOUT ZOE, TO WHICH THE ANSWER IS WHAT CRAZINESS ARE YOU SPEAKING ZOE IS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE.

I dig no-nonsense warrior women who absolutely will not stand for taking other people's shit, which Zoe is! I also dig the straight man in any comedic duo (I guess here she would be a comic foil), and Zoe is totally Mal's straight man. I also dig women with conviction, who may not be sure of absolutely everything but are absolutely sure of the things that matter, and when she looks Niska in the eye and chooses her husband before he even finishes his God damn sentence she won my heart for the millionth time over. Zoe is everything I want to be when I grow up, I love her I love her I LOVE HER. ♥!
