Hmm, i don't really know your fandoms but how about js&mn?

[darchildre]

It's been a while since I read it, but I will do my best!

Favorite Male Character: I mean. Childermass.

Favorite Female Character: Arabella, I think.

Least Favorite Character: The trouble is that my least favorite characters are usually characters I'm bored by and when it's been a while since I was involved with a thing, I forget the boring people. I will therefore say the Duke of Wellington.

Favorite Ship: Norrell/Childermass

Favorite Friendship: Lordy. Messrs Segundus and Honeyfoot, probably.

Favorite Quote: I really enjoy all the prophecy bits. They have a poetry to them that I find very appealing.

Worst Character Death (if any): I cannot at this juncture think of any that particularly bothered me.

Saddest Moment: Oh, the Strange/Norell breakup scene, obvs.

Favorite Location: Norrell's library in Hurtfew Abbey

This is rare for me but I think I agree with you on all counts (except maybe the saddest moment, but still)! I know a lot of people were bothered by Drawlight's death but honestly I think it was just so nicely done (and I didn't like the guy, anyone who throws a cat out of a window deserves what's coming to them tbh) that it fit perfectly.

I totally agree with you about the prophecy parts. I think that was when I decided I really loved the book, I think.

For the meme: Star Trek!

[darchildre]

While (nearly) all Star Trek is good Star Trek, my favorite iteration is DS9, so my answers are mostly going to be about that one.

Favorite Male Character: Main cast, definitely Odo. (Hi, I too am asexual, grumpy, and in love with Kira Nerys.) If we're including supporting guest characters, it's Weyoun. (Prooobably Weyoun 5, for preference.)

Favorite Female Character: See above re: Kira Nerys.

Least Favorite Character: There are a lot of people on DS9 that I dislike because they are horrible but also they are so interesting that I can't pick any of them. I will instead say Shakaar, because he is so goddamned boring.

Favorite Ship: Canon ships, Kira/Odo. Non-canon ships, Garak/Bashir.

Favorite Friendship: Every time Quark and Dax get to hang out, it is the best thing.

Favorite Quote: This is hella goofy but DS9 is the reason that I'm still tempted to yell "Death to the opposition!" every time I watch a baseball game.

Worst Character Death (if any): Jadzia Dax's death is bullshit on so many levels.

This made me so happy you have no idea Moment: Goofy again but sometimes, when I am sad, I rewatch In the Cards just because I know the little mad scientist guy who thinks that people die because their cells get bored is going to cheer me up.

Saddest Moment: Benny's breakdown in Far Beyond the Stars

Favorite Location: Quark's bar? Man, I don't know.


My mom and I have been stalled on our DS9 rewatch and now I really want to get it started up again.

[roadmagician]

Man, SAME. So many good villains in DS9 - they're just so entertaining to watch but also so, so awful.

Dax's death was BS. I remember going "what?!" and yelling at the screen. Also the one (1) time I attended a baseball match, I *just* managed to bite my tongue and not yell out that line lol.

This post is making me want to rewatch the series from the start again. Definitely favourite Star Trek series for me.

[darchildre]

My mom and I are in the middle of season 6 (we are watching very slowly because we only do it when my dad is out of town). This is her first time through and I am dreading getting to the end of the season, as she is a huge Worf/Dax shipper and I know she's going to be super upset.

I definitely encourage rewatching. Even given the above, DS9 is always good times.

[seraphflight]

True Blood.

[darchildre]

Alas, I have never seen even a single episode of True Blood! Would you like to pick something else?

[seraphflight]

Supernatural?

[darchildre]

Okay, so, Supernatural has indeed been one of my fandoms but in a very stupid way. See, I started with season four because I was told there were angels and I liked some of the Dean/Cas fic I'd read, watched through the end of season 5, then started at the beginning with my Mom, watched through the end of season 5 again, and then stopped. So I can speak to nothing after those five seasons.


Favorite Male Character: Caaaas.

Favorite Female Character: Does...does Supernatural have female characters? I kid, but seriously. I liked Jo and Ellen a lot. And Anna.

Least Favorite Character: I do not like John Winchester, you guys.

Favorite Ship: I watched the show at all because of Dean/Cas fic, I mean.

Favorite Friendship: Hmm. Dean&Sam&Bobby, maybe?

Worst Character Death (if any): Jo and Ellen's death is still some bullshit.

This made me so happy you have no idea Moment: As a person who really enjoys stories about the War in Heaven and the fall of Lucifer, especially when Lucifer gets to be an actual character, his appearances in season 5 were very pleasing to me.

Favorite Location: Does the Impala count? I feel like the Impala should count

[seraphflight]

I like Supernatural too, despite its corny themes and the predictable mid-season filler episode.

The Impala should definitely count as a location. What I want to know is where do the brothers store their clothes, as the car boot is full of weapons and the back seat is empty.

Castiel is my favourite character too. (Interestingly, the auto spellcheck wants to turn "Castiel" into "elastic".)
