And such a pretty banner. I'll never get over how cute they looked in those matching aviators.
Perusing the results page led to me spending a couple hours re-living my fannish love for this show at the following places: the epic Luke/Noah picspam and the epic Jake/Van picspam. Ugh, THEY ARE SUCH GOOFBALLS I CAN'T TAKE IT, and also: this, so very married. And this .gif posted by
oktoberskies reminded me that I never really got over my crush on that dude, because, hoshit, his smile.*
I got podficced!
rhea314 recorded "Jesus Complex," which can be found over here. rhea314 did such a great Jaye voice; it was so cool to hear my fic read out loud for the first time.*
Heroes.
01. The first character I fell in love with: Mohinder.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Claire. I have a hard time with cheerleader characters in general, but she really grew on me.
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't: I wasn't really that into Sylar. Well, okay, I liked him at first, but in my opinion he should have died at the end of S1.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: Haaa, I feel like there were a lot. I really liked Simone, Maya and Niki. Niki, in particular, I really liked -- she was trying so hard to keep her family together and make sense of a world that was almost impossible to make sense of.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Can't think of anyone.
06. The character I would shag anytime: MOHINDER.
07. The character I want to be like: None of them, really.
08. The character I'd slap: West, when he was first introduced. He did improve in the last few eps I saw, though, although his relationship with Claire was thoroughly enraging.
09. A pairing that I love: Simone/Niki. ♥
10. A pairing that I hate: I don't really care enough to hate any pairings.
11. Favorite character: Can I say Mohinder again?
12. My five favorite characters: Monica, Niki, Maya, Molly, Micah.
13. My five least favorite characters: I don't knooooow.
14. Which character I am most like: I related to S1 Peter a lot with the whole savior complex/inadequacy thing he had going on.
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: I can't think of one.
Noah's Arc.
01. The first character I fell in love with: Ricky.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Curtis really grew on me over time. He was this weird combination of ridiculously annoying and also semi-endearing.
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Hmm, nope, not coming up with anything.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: No one, really, but I don't dislike Wade as much as some people. He just strikes me as incredibly confused and the process of development he's going through with his queer identity is something that I think is a lot more understandable when it's a young character going through it, because he does a lot of immature things that hearken back to teenage behavior. Although the whole not-coming-out-to-his-parents and thinking he could get MARRIED without mentioning that little fact was really, just, no.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer: None.
06. The character I would shag anytime: Junito's pretty awesome.
07. The character I want to be like: Again, Junito's pretty awesome; he struck me as the healthiest and most balanced character on show (which I realize they overplayed as a way of contrasting him against Ricky, but still).
08. The character I'd slap: That guy who was trying to steal Trey.
09. A pairing that I love: RICKY/NOAH BABY.
10. A pairing that I hate: Eh.
11. Favorite character: Ricky.
12. My five favorite characters: I like most of them!
13. My five least favorite characters: Eh.
14. Which character I am most like: I don't think any of them.
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: I feel like a fandom would have to exist for this show for me to have a deep, dark secret.
Psych.
01. The first character I fell in love with: I think I actually fell in love with Gus/Shawn more than a specific character.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Lassiter, because he's just really not my type of character but now I find him adorable.
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Henry, I guess? I mean, I can appreciate him, but I have a hard time enjoying him unreservedly because his parenting methods deeply disturb me.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates: I don't know that fandom really hates any characters. I do fucking adore Goochberg, though, and wish they could have kept her on as a regular.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer: None.
06. The character I would shag anytime: Juliet is the only one I'd date, because as cute as Gus and Shawn are, they're way too dysfunctional/codependent with each other for me.
07. The character I want to be like: Juliet!
08. The character I'd slap: None of them, n'awww.
09. A pairing that I love: Hahahaha, like I need to answer this. Gus/Shawn, natch.
I also enjoy: Abigail/Juliet, Juliet/Gus, Juliet/Lassiter (my not-really-secret guilty ship), Juliet/Karen, Juliet/April (OTP!), Gus/Lassiter, Buzz/most people, Juliet/Gus/Shawn, Ruby/Gus/Shawn, Mira/Gus/Shawn.
And I'm quite into the idea of: Juliet/Ruby or Ruby/Mira, although I highly doubt I'll ever find fic about them.
10. A pairing that I hate: None.
11. Favorite character: Too hard to pick one!
12. My five favorite characters: Gus, Juliet, Shawn, Karen, Buzz.
13. My five least favorite characters: None, really.
14. Which character I am most like: Gus. Well, sometimes. Sometimes I'm weird like Shawn, but I think I'm more Gus-like overall.
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: Errrr. I kind of fail at this meme, don't I?

Completely against my will, I seem to have become fannish about Legend of the Seeker. D:

Other privatized posts I need to clean up and get out of my hair: that long-simmering why-is-Gus-ever-joked-about-as-a-sidekic

I suppose I'll end this with another meme, for the heck of it: Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 700 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic (fic series, fic universe),
