Your Chance to "Make Shit Up"

[tigerlilyaj.livejournal.com]

Twilight!
(Srsly, life is short. Don't do it if you don't want to. I just could not resist the temptation of your "pick anything" lure.)

Re: Your Chance to "Make Shit Up"

[vivien]

Hey, I read all the books but the last one! I can totally handle this!

A character(s) I like: Carlisle, Alice, Charlie, Jacob
A character(s) I dislike: Well, Bella does make me want to throttle sense into her.
Character I love that other people don't: Charlie!
Character everyone else loves that I don't: Hee, hee, Edward. I just can't swoon over him, although RPatz is adorabamle.
Character with the best hair: Rosalie has some nice hair
Character with the best eyes: *snickers* Edward's topaz-tastic eyes win
Character with the best smile: Alice
Character I'd kiss: Charlie
A pairing(s) I like: I have not read any Twilight fic, but I imagine I'd like Carlisle/Esme. Or *cough* Carlisle/Edward. DO NOT JUDGE ME!
A pairing I dislike: I would like Bella/Edward a whole lot more if she was a) not dependent on him for all self-esteem, b) a college graduate before marrying him, and c) not obsessed with getting married. :-P

Re: Your Chance to "Make Shit Up"

[tigerlilyaj.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I did not know you had read that much.
Charlie: As a Cappy Moon who loves classic Goats like William Adama, I did not even get that others (esp younger others) would not like Charlie until they started a thread about how the (exceptional, perfect, awesome) Billy Burke movie!Charlie brought them around from their hate for book!Charlie. I always got him.
Carlisle/Edward: It's the most common m/m slash and, of all the types of slash, the only one that makes any damn canonical sense, meaning I actually see true seeds there for people to spin off.
Bella: She is not obsessed with getting married. She is obsessed with NOT getting married, which I think needs as much head-shrinking (even though the character is pretty aware as to where her antipathy and ambivalence spring from). And never forget "Forever Dawn," the original sequel to "Twilight" that publishers nixed because neophyte SMeyer wrote what pleased herself, not knowing that she was supposed to be in an industry YA box with a bunch of rules and conventions. Originally, Bella did go to school and stay human before all those commitments.

Re: Your Chance to "Make Shit Up"

[vivien]

She is not obsessed with getting married.

Oh, right, right. I meant obsessed with being with Edward OMG forever. I forgot the not getting married side of that. I have never even heard of Forever Dawn! I am intrigued.

I did not even get that others (esp younger others) would not like Charlie until they started a thread about how the (exceptional, perfect, awesome) Billy Burke movie!Charlie brought them around from their hate for book!Charlie. I always got him.

Heh. Yeah. I think it's also because we're closer to his age. Hell, I think I am older than he is. You know you're grown up when you side with the parents in the teen movies. :-P

Re: Your Chance to "Make Shit Up"

[tigerlilyaj.livejournal.com]

You know you're grown up when you side with the parents in the teen movies.
Yes, I am afraid so. I guess that means the younger readers, unlike most Twi Moms, do not realize that Bella's rel with mama Renee is effed up and how all that too-early, inappropriate caretaking and parenting a parent is part of why a rel with Edward, who so wholly takes care of her in ways both appropriate and inappropriate (while she is human--I hate "Breaking Dawn," but I hate it more for the fact that I have to positively reference it as evidence about how much Bella's humanity colored Edward and their rel, because you see the diff when she is vamped) so attractive. They probably think Renee is way cooler than their moms.

SMeyer's official site is full of fun anecdotes about her foray into publishing, things that got cut/changed, things out of her control, etc. She did not know it was verboten for a "YA author" (not a label she sought or embraces) to, say, gloss over the senior year of h.s. in flashback so she could speed ahead to true aduthood.

Re: Your Chance to "Make Shit Up"

[tigerlilyaj.livejournal.com]

Oh, and thanks to you creating this post, I asked myself how to answer these questions, and, while I do not "love" her, I find myself more sympathetic to big bad Victoria, who did lose the love of an eternity and was reacting in relatively normal vamp fashion. ;-)

Re: Your Chance to "Make Shit Up"

[vivien]

I generally do not complain about the monstrous qualities of, you know, monsters. Which is why I don't have problems with the bad and horrible behavior of Buffy vampires and the like. They're kind of supposed to be evil and do awful things! Except when they try hard not to.

I need a vampire icon...

[chanter1944]

Well, here goes. I don't remember if you know Star Trek: the Next Generation or not. If you don't... er, well. Call it one in the 'make shit up' category? :)

[vivien]

Oh, baby, I know some ST:TNG!

A character(s) I like: Picard, Data, Guinan, Q, Geordie, Worf
A character(s) I dislike: I disliked the acting of the actress who played Tasha Yar. Tasha herself was just fine.
Character I love that other people don't: I bet people didn't like Guinan. I, on the other hand, ADORED her.
Character everyone else loves that I don't: Um, I have no idea who was loved in that fandom.
Character with the best hair: Troi
Character with the best eyes: Picard - oh, that devilish twinkle!
Character with the best smile: Geordie
Character I'd kiss: Data, even though he'd be running six zillion programs at the same time.
A pairing(s) I like: I don't think I ever read any ST:TNG fic. I like the idea of Ryker/Troi or Data/Tasha or Geordie/OFC.
A pairing I dislike: I am sure there is plenty of Data/Picard out there. I will read none of it!

I need a Star Trek icon!

[chanter1944]

I... thought you might know TNG, for some reason or other, I just couldn't remember clearly enough to be sure of the fact. Whee! I'm on the hunt for a couple Star Trek icons myself, actually. Hmm.

*ponders answers* Geordi seems like the sort who'd have a wonderful smile. then again, I've had a Geordi-muse (not to mention a Leah Brahms-muse) in my head fairly consistently for a while now, so... :) *biased* As for Picard/Data fic? I honestly haven't seen much out there. that, and eww.

[vivien]

(Now with correct journal)

Leah! I forgot about her. Geordie/Leah - totally an OTP.

Yeah, TNG was my first serious grown up fandom. I still love it lots.

[chanter1944]

Pardon the moment of incoherence, but oh oh oh squee! Geordi/Leah is my Next Gen OTP, seriously! I've got a great huge lapful of fics about them in my journal, and I... really need to write a few more. Time, it elapses on me! Mew. Anyhow. Apparently theirs is quite the rare pairing, although it's not particularly easy to find Geordi/anyone fic, with the possible exception of Geordi/Data... and I just don't see the appeal there.

As for TNG, I got into it when I was... maybe twelve? Maybe eleven? I don't quite remember. It was in syndication by then, whatever the year was. Twelve odd years (and I do mean *odd* years, snirk) later, and I'm still happily in the fandom.

[the-glass-onion.livejournal.com]

Lord of the Rings :)

[vivien]

A character(s) I like: (all book canon) Merry, Pippin, Eowyn, Aragorn, Faramir, Galadriel, Treebeard, Frodo, Bilbo, Gollum, Gandalf, Elrond, Tom Bombadil!
A character(s) I dislike: Sigh. I wish I liked Sam better.
Character I love that other people don't: People are often unprepared for my serious, canon-based crush on Meriadoc Brandybuck who is the awesomest hobbit that ever awesomed (okay, Frodo and Bilbo are pretty awesome, too. I also like Tom Bombadil. A lot.
Character everyone else loves that I don't: Boromir
Character with the best hair: Arwen, baby
Character with the best eyes: Treebeard
Character with the best smile: Pippin, since he's such a cutie pie.
Character I'd kiss: *fesses up* Merry
A pairing(s) I like: Eowyn/Faramir
A pairing I dislike: I dislike most of them, unless they're canonical. I have frothing at the mouth issues with slashing the elves. It is illogical of me, I know, but there you have it.
