Brief character thoughts...
Feb. 27th, 2009 06:01 amSo, I have completely filled up 197 icon spaces. Wow. That's a lot of tiny pictures, yo.
I've been caught up in school recently, so I haven't been able to do as much as I'd like online.
I've spent some time thinking about characters and the ways that I fall for characters -- case in point, I was never all that fond of Faith (Buffy). In fact, there were times when I actively and strongly disliked her. I love Caroline/Echo (Dollhouse). A lot. Just about from the very beginning.
I'm mostly fond of heroes... except then there's always Draco Malfoy, who remains my favorite Harry Potter character. I feel intense sympathy for characters that the universe kicks around (like Boomer, my favorite on BSG) and if they survive their trials, I feel a great attachment to them.
I like it when characters are affected by the events that take place around them. Character growth is possibly what I'm most drawn to (Rose Tyler grows up an extraordinary amount -- when we meet her, she's a curious and bright girl, but mostly just a normal girl. When we see her in "Journey's End" ( spoilers ))
I'm not sure if I can find any one common thread to connect all my favorite characters together -- it would end up more like one of those spider web diagrams, with all sorts of things connecting all over the place (though, now that I bring that up, it sounds like fun).
( Read more... )
I'm going to take this moment in my ramble to rec a John/Rodney fic: Straight as a Circle. This fic always, without exception, makes me cry. ( spoilers for the fic -- it's good, so read it first if you have any interest in the pairing )
Anyway, those are my mostly random, somewhat insomnia-based thoughts of the day. I'm very much looking forward to tonight's television and was thrilled to learn that Being Human and Smallville were renewed.
