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

SO LATE TO REPLYING ON THIS, SORRY. Um, quick points! Ty Lee/Sokka = AWESOME. WANT. I don't mind Suki at all, though; mostly I like Ty Lee/Sokka because it's lol-fucking-tastic awesome.

For the longest time I was dead convinced the only way to end the HP series was for Harry to die. When it was pointed out to me that for all the dark stuff JKR put in the series, it was still ultimately directed at a younger audience, I (grudgingly) changed my tone and hoped Harry wouldn't get with anyone. (Though Luna would've been acceptable, IMO.) Ugh, was I ever wrong. (And irritated.)

As for Aang's Chakra, I felt the same way as you (WTF pointy rock fixed him?!) until my s.o., who knows more about my culture than I do (embarrassing...), brought up that Azula technically blocked his qi, and getting knocked into a rock unblocked its flow, etc., etc.. I had less of a problem with it after that.

HOWEVER, yes, there is a plot hole, and that is that Guru Pahtik and ALL THE OTHER PREVIOUS AVATARS told that motherfucker he needed to man up and lay the smackdown on Ozai! Not only that, but he's a freaking monk! He can't be chasing girls! GP told him he needed to let go of Katara in order to go into the Avatar State at will. Just, ARGH. ARGH. I feel like they favored the "You can do it your way!" message for the kid audience, when IMO, the better message for the sake of the narrative was Dude. Sometimes, when it counts, we gotta make hard decisions, and yeah, they're gonna hurt, and they're gonna suck - hard - but we gotta do what we gotta do. And then we move on, somehow. (Something tells me Aang would be a really, really clingy ex-boyfriend. Man, that would end badly.)

But yeah, essentially: Zuko! > Aang.

Brick and Mai having a "conversation?" LAWL.

Yeah, Ty Lokka is hilarious. I read stories like that when I'm in a bad mood and need a good laugh.

Someone else told me the same thing about Aang's ki being blocked and what-have-you, but, for some reason, it still bothered me. But, whatever. I guess it worked out for Aang in the end. BUT THE FREAKIN' PLOT HOLES BOTHERED ME!!

Poor Blossom - should she be in the middle of that conversation between Brick and Mai - would be driven nuts with all the silence and sarcastic barbs. Haha. Seriously, I think I may want to draw it now.
