Is it wrong that I kind of want to say 'Mark Strong' as though the man is a fandom of himself. (But he is, riiight? And the questions do all, basically, apply.)

Failing that, um, The Walking Dead? (Because I know someone else will ask ASOIAF.)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I half expected you to ask SPN, but I'm cool with this as well. ;D

Mark is definitely a fandom:
Favourite character: so difficult oO Harry Starks because he's the most complex one.
Least Favorite character: Can't think of any.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Blackwood/Coward, Hani/Roger, Mark Strong/Hans Matheson (I have no shame, I love RPS :P), the two BFFs from Fever Pitch, Harry Starks/all of his canon boytoys ...
Character I find most attractive: WHAAAAAAAAT YOU'RE KIDDING ME RIGHT? Hani. Or Septimus.
Character I would marry: Archie seems like a great guy, but he's kind of married ... Hani is too conservative for my taste ... Harry is gay ... Blackwood is most likely gay ... Norfolk is too Catholic ... Septimus maybe? Can I just marry Mark? He seems like an amazing guy.
Character I would be best friends with: the guy from Fever Pitch whose name I should really look up. We could watch footie together all the time.
A random thought: Mark Strong has gorgeous legs.
An unpopular opinion: All my opinions about Mark Strong are pure facts and should not be unpopular. ;)
Canon OTP: Septimus/his clothes
Non-canon OTP: Blackwood/Coward
Most badass character: All of them. Seriously, all of them. Archy may win, or Hani, or ... anyone really.
Pairing I am not a fan of: All those useless, badly written love interests, I suppose.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Blackwood could have used with some more depth other than "I wanna rule the world."
Favourite friendship: The two BFFS from Fever Pitch. I need to look up those names ...
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: erm ... none? Adopting someone twice my age would be weird, and getting adopted by someone I want to jump is a bit awkward, too.

Now, Walking Dead ...
Favourite character: Daryl. <3
Least Favourite character: Shane. I can't deal with pathetic "look at me I'm so tough" losers.
5 Favourite ships (canon or non-canon): Five? No way. oO I can barely think of one. I don't really ship anything on this show.
Character I find most attractive: Daryyyyyyl. ;)
Character I would marry: None of them, they're all messed up? Rick maybe.
Character I would be best friends with: see above, they're all messed up, no thanks.
A random thought: Daryyyyyl. what, that's a thought.
An unpopular opinion: I really can't stand Andrea. Apparently she's supposed to be cool.
Canon OTP: Rick/Shane. ;P
Non-canon OTP: Daryl/Carol, but I think that's more friendship than anything else.
Most badass character: DARYYYYYYYL.
Pairing I am not a fan of: I heard that people ship Daryl/Andrea? Just, no?
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Shane. Turning him into a dick is one thing, turning him into a psycho is another.
Favourite friendship: Daryl/crossbow. :P
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: See above, they're all messed up. Though I kind of want to talk Daryl home, give him a shower, some cookies ... and then do things that don't belong in the adopting category, damn.

[outboxed.livejournal.com]

Oh dude, you could totally do SPN if you felt like it! I didn't even think of it (despite the fact that I've managed to rewatch up to 5x09 in about a month an a half).

Mark Strong's legs are so LONG. I watched The Guard with my housemate a couple of days ago and could not stop noticing them. I think we're going to have to have an in-house marathon soon, as I've discovered that she's also a Mark Strong fan. :D Also, re: character I would marry: I think marrying Mark is a totally acceptable answer in this category. XD

I love how just looking at your TWD answers, without reading them, I can see Daryl, Daryyyyl, DARYYYYYL over and over. XD Rick/Shane is totally canon though. I am with you 100% on the taking Daryl home thing - that boy needs to be loved & cared for. Do people actually like Andrea though? \: I feel I ought to like her for being an interesting female character but I just can't. She's so frustrating to watch because she makes all the wrong decisions.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I think if I did SPN, it would look just like my Walking Dead meme, only with JOOOOOOOOHN instead of DARYYYYYYYYYL.

I know, his legs are incredible. He's in one episode of Sharpe ... riding around in uniform and high black riding boots, and his legs are just endless. Gunf. The Guard is hilarious, I loved that movie. ^^ And you should definitely do a Mark marathon, that's always a good thing. ;)
I'm glad it's an acceptable answer. Because Mark really seems to be the sweetest guy ever.

Daryl is the best thing about TWD, what do you expect? ^^ Daryl really needs some love, he probably never had anyone taking care of him.
Apparently comic!Andrea is cool and the comic fans expect show!Andrea to become cool too now? I don't know, I find her annoying, she's turning into a female Shane, trying to prove everyone how very tough she is. They deserve each other.

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

Asoiaf because I HAVE to. :/

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I considered doing a troll version to this, because my real answers are so obvious ... but I'm too tired for trolling.

Favourite character: STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNIS. King of my everything. I've rarely loved a character as much as I love him. I love him as much as Toreth, and that's pretty impressive because Toreth is basically me and gets therefore all my love.
Least Favourite character: As of ADWD, Daenerys. Because of reasons I've repeated far too often. Before she turned into a total horror, Littlefinger (whom I still despise). Also Brienne because she's the most boring character ever. I can't even dislike her.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Stannis/Davos, Stannis/Jon, Stannis/Sansa ... and then many others, Roose/Walda, Ramsay/Reek, Asha/Qarl, Victarion/Euron, Tywin/Kevan, Tywin/Roose, and I'm kinda intrigued by Balon/Victarion, somebody write that please? ;)
Character I find most attractive: Hard to pick one Victarion because I imagine him to be utterly hot in that piraty, bamfy, serious way. Tywin because of his EYES and his charisma. Roose for his eyes and his voice and because I have a thing for sociopaths. Stannis for his personality. So, yes, you see my type - at lot older than me, bamfy, made of steel, utterly in control of themselves, emotionally stunted and damaged (or just psychopathic in Roose's case), gorgeous eyes, and hardass personalities. ;)
Character I would marry: Davos? In peace time when he's actually at home. Or Ned maybe, if he doesn't get himself killed. Or Tywin, if he loved me as much as he loved Joanna (Lannister looks, I've got them, I'm sure he'd grow to like me ;)).
Character I would be best friends with: Depends on my mood. On my good days days, Asha or Victarion so we could be obnoxious BAMFs together. Asha is more like me, but I'd have waaaay more fun with Victarion, friends with benefits and all. On my darker days, Stannis, so we could brood together, hate the world, be judgemental assholes and hate everyone.
A random thought: I really wish I were more like Stannis? Which is just ... sad. I want to be like a man who made himself miserable because all I can do is admire him.
An unpopular opinion: I never cared much about Robb nor about the RW. I think Tyrion should have died at the end of ASOS. I think LF is overrated.
Canon OTP: Stannis/Davos. What?
Non-canon OTP: Stannis/Jon then. Although that's approaching canon as well. ;)
Most badass character: Tywin Lannister. Or Stannis Baratheon, who is as bamfy as Tywin, only without tons of money and a huge army to back him up.
Pairing I am not a fan of: Rhaegar/Lyanna. I despise it. Passionately. And I kinda side-eye people who ship it (as romance and true love, not as creepy non-con), not because I ~judge~ them, but because I think they have crappy taste.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Erm, Euron maybe? He's supposed to be intimidating and mysterious, but I just find him ridiculous. But I seem to be alone in that opinion, so it's probably me rather than the writers. So, Tyrion. If you let a character live who should have died, he'd better have the most fascinating storyline ever afterwards to convince me that he survived for a reason other than being the author's favourite.
Favourite friendship: Stannis&Davos.
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I think both Davos and Ned are great fathers, although Davos isn't around much. I wouldn't want any of those mothers ASOIAF offers us. Cersei is a horrible mother, and Catelyn is too protective and nosy for my taste, I can't deal with that. Adopt ... can I have Proudwing? Or Shaggydog? Or Ghost?

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

I don't know. When I did my Euron reread, I was disappointed at how much of his supposed creepy badass deeds were all related secondhand or done offstage, in a Darkstar kind of way. There's no real demonstration. Yes, people are afraid of him, but they're afraid of Roose too, and he DOES freaky stuff in public. I still like the character, but he needs to do something horrible in the next book.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I found Darkstar way less pathetic than Euron. Maybe because Euron is seriously the biggest poser in the entire series. He's worse than Tywin "look at my huge golden cloak" Lannister when it comes to showing off. He gives nice speeches occasionally, but so far he has shown no special skills, he has done nothing impressive, nothing anybody else couldn't have done as well. Mostly he takes drugs, talks and fucks girls. He's like a creepy pirate Robert. ;)

I actually think it would be awesome if Euron wasn't as epic as everybody seems to think.

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

One day I want to write some Euron/Roose fic where Euron gets all creeped out by something relatively minor and Roose is basically like, "What a loser."

A creepy pirate Robert. Love it. He's basically that goth guy at the bar who stands around, making a big show of drinking absinthe, hitting on women, and getting nowhere.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. But I generally think that Euron/Roose fic would be all kinds of awesome. And Roose judging people is funny anyway.

That's the best description ever. Seriously, he goes to the kind of goth bar where normal goths laugh and have fun and enjoy themselves, and he stands in a corner, looking sad, with waaaay too much make-up, and the girls think he's pretty, but the guys find him somewhat ridiculous because he's trying to hard.

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

I have always loved the idea of Roose being ridiculously judgmental about, say Lannister incest, while he's doing...well, what he does. "My wife may be 15, but at least she's not my sister!"

I still have to write Euron/Roose. One day.

And everything that he wears is the Hot Topic type clothing and he has a black rose or some equally ridiculous prop. Seems like the rest of the Greyjoys would go to biker bars.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Haha, this is hilarious. I find judgemental people generally funny. Sitting on their high horse, looking down on everybody and feeling so SUPERIOR. Also, 15? That's okay, it's not like she's 11.
"Have you ever seen that man cut out a tongue? What a butcher, it's all messy and sloppy."

The many, many things we all need to write. So many pairings, so little time.

Yessss and he ... damn, his hair is already black, he can't dye it. But he has some really ridiculous hairstyle and a white or red strand in it or something like that.
Biker!Greyjoys sound perfect. I'm all for Victarion in leather. ;)

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

"Now when I flay someone, I'm always so precise, but those Greyjoys..." He always goes off about this in front of Walda to impress her.

He could have anime guy hair and dye it bright red or something. WHY CAN'T I DRAW? There would be so much ridiculous fanart.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Roose has weird ideas about what impresses 15-year-old girls. Then again, this is ASOIAF, I suppose flaying works at least as well as blue hair. "Those Greyjoys have no style, no finesse. *sigh*"

Sometimes I think it's better that people like you and me can't draw. We'd just spam the internet with all those crack ideas we constantly come up with. ;)

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

Well, he's a socially stunted weirdo. And this is Walda, after all. I have a feeling that she'd gush over anything that he did. ;)

True, true. Maybe tumblr and the like are better off.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

True, she's easily impressed, especially by her so very kind husband. ;)

[ars-belli.livejournal.com]

Ooh, procrastination!

I wanted to ask for the SD (or Heydrich, since his hands should be a fandom by themselves) but then I noticed "Character I feel the writers screwed up," which doesn't really apply. (Even if it did produce amusing metal images of spectral Heydrich complaining to Schellenberg that he didn't like his portrayal in Walther's memoirs.)

How about Les Bienveillantes instead? I'm just going to ignore the lack of a fandom for it. And that I've been misspelling it for MONTHS. (I have the English copy but "The Kindly Ones" just sounds odd as a title.)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Most people writing about Heydrich later screwed up, so it would probably work. Ghost!Heydrich, nice. "Nobody understands meeeeeeeee."

Bienveillantes is going to be hard. I read it when it came out, what, now five years ago? And I've forgotten many of the details, i really need to reread it. But I can try.

Favourite character: Max just because he's the one we get to know best.
Least Favourite character: I found, what was her name, Helen? rather annoying.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Not too focused on shipping when I read this, but I like Max/Thomas.
Character I find most attractive: Heydrich. What, he was mentioned? ;)
Character I would marry: None of them.
Character I would be best friends with: Again, none of them really.
A random thought: I definitely need to reread this book. Maybe during my next semester break.
An unpopular opinion: I don't get why people complain about the disgusting sex scenes when it's obvious that they're supposed to be disgusting.
Canon OTP: Max/his high opinion on himself
Non-canon OTP: Max/Thomas
Most badass character: They're all not very badass, just screwed up.
Pairing I am not a fan of: Tbh, I found the incest plot the weakest part of the book.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): -
Favourite friendship: Max and that soldier he seduced while he was injured? ;) Doesn't count as friendship, though. Max&Thomas would probably work better.
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I'm not insane. oO

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm giving you Boardwalk Empire. So there! ;-)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I'm not really up to date ... nor very involved in the fandom, but let's see.

Favourite character: Probably Nucky?
Least Favorite character: No one really, they're all at least interesting.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Other than Nucky/Jimmy I don't really ship anything on that show.
Character I find most attractive: It's a show full of surprisingly unattractive men, despite the clothes they're wearing. ;)
Character I would marry: No thanks.
Character I would be best friends with: I think Nucky is a useful friend to have, no?
A random thought: I should probably watch the rest of season 2, but I don't really want to.
An unpopular opinion: I have no idea what the popular opinions are in this fandom.
Canon OTP: -
Non-canon OTP: -
Most badass character: ... I feel dumb for not coming up with answers.
Pairing I am not a fan of: Erm ... the whole story between the uptight cop and the annoying prostitute was just a pain.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): no opinion on this, really.
Favourite friendship: Is anyone actually friends on this show?
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: -

My answers for stuff I have forgotten all about just suck. ;)

[assassin-nariel.livejournal.com]

The Administration ^^
Not that I don't know the answers. Just for pimpin' and TOOOOOOOOOOOOOORETH

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Yay Toreth!

Favourite character: TOREEEEEETH. My braintwin. The only time I ever felt represented anywhere, lol. I love Toreth even more than I love myself, and that's pretty rare. ;)
Least Favourite character: The Cunt! I mean Carnac.
5 Favourite ships (canon or non-canon): I don't think I ship anything other than Toreth/Warrick anyway ...
Character I find most attractive: TOREEEEEEETH. The man is canon porn.
Character I would marry: Yeah, no. I'd probably be okay with both Toreth and Warrick, but they'd just be miserable and pine for each other.
Character I would be best friends with: Toreth. We could be sociopathic dicks together. ^^
A random thought: I really think the Administration is awesome ... as a political system ... fuck. ;)
An unpopular opinion: see the random thought.
Canon OTP: Toreth/Warrick
Non-canon OTP: don't really ship anything else.
Most badass character: Belkin. Because in my head canon he looks like Bruce Willis. ;) No, really Toreth.
Pairing I am not a fan of: Toreth/Carnac. Like ... anyone who has read these books.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): not characters, but the whole Greece storyline was fairly poorly written in the end, imo.
Favourite friendship: Toreth and Sara.
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I think I'd rather shoot myself.

I WANT A TORETH ICON. :(
