Given that this is my week of glorious vacation, and I am fed and comfortable and waiting for the workday to be over for people who are not as gainfully unemployed as I am so that we can all run free in the cold and the rain together --
Have a meme.
A. Has my portrayal of a character(s) changed the way you think of him/her?
B. Pick one of my characters and I'll answer the following questions about him or her.
1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for?
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
3. What do they dream about?
4. What’s their biggest fear?
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
6. What is their fondest memory?
7. What is their worst memory?
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life?
10. What makes them laugh?
11. What are their religious views?
12. What is their greatest strength?
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?
C. Pick a fandom, any fandom I'm in. I will tell you some stuff that may involve canon ships, fanon ships, fanon trends, and whether or not I think things jumped the shark or went absolutely nuts, or where I myself stopped watching and why!
You can choose any or all of these options.
My fandoms include Milliways characters and fandoms (including broad DC and Marvel, but I am not an encyclopedia, so that will be a factor), most popular sci-fi/fantasy books/movies/tv, but anything that premiered in the last two years that is not sci-fi/fantasy, Life, or Dexter, I have probably not seen enough of to wax epic about it.
(We interrupt this news bulletin to say 'hey, cat, stop sitting on my hands! Ow. Claws.')

The Inda series. What to say about this one. I like it quite a lot, the world-building, the politics, the way everybody is just a little bit wrong (if not more) or short-sighted or misguided in their positions and the actions they take. I am not generally fond of polyamory in my fiction, not least because it usually feels clumsily-handled and occasionally way too focused on the porny stuff, or it's focused on the more negative aspects with regard to jealousy and a failure of long-term stability among the various relationships. Inda does that really well, and I am fond of all if not most of the various pairings, so that's a nice change.
I did spend a lot of the first two-to- two and a half books shipping Inda/Evard something fierce. I think I got the BFF/prince's name right. I love Inda/Tdor, too, but one of the things that gets me in stories is unrequited affection. I wanted some requiting, dammit! But I ended up being okay with how they ended up, so that is what counts.
Anything that I did not comment on that you would like to ask me about?
From:
no subject
I have not read the fourth book yet so there may be a limit on what I can ask! But I agree with all of your thoughts generally. :D (I felt the same way you did about Inda/Evred, except about Evred/Hadand. Which has pretty much exactly the same issues. *amused* While at the same time not actually wanting it to happen because I really like the way she handles Evred's sexuality, but poor Hadand!) It is one of the few where I am wildly amused by love polygons of doooooom instead of irritated by them, too.
Favorite characters? I am curious because there are so many!

I like Hadand a lot. I like Jeje and her boyfriend whose name I never remember offhand because it is long.
I miss Tanrid a lot. I like the Fox.

She would (and has) kill to protect vast swathes of humanity, and (to a point) if required to by her gods. She would not kill to protect herself, or if there were, in her view, any other options available. She'd die to keep others safe, too, but there -- she's able to do more good for people if she stays alive, so pointless melodramatic self-sacrifice isn't really her way.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
Diana wouldn't kill an innocent, and I doubt anyone could make her. It would be wrong, and she couldn't lie to herself effectively enough to get past knowing it's wrong. (And she would not even try.) I think willfully telling a malicious lie is not something she's capable of, either, both because it would be cruel and because she would start losing her own self-respect.
3. What do they dream about?
She dreams about a world in which her message and mission have been heard and accepted, when people work together collectively instead of against each other in small factions. She dreams about a world in which the Jusice League and Justice Society aren't necessary.
4. What’s their biggest fear?
One of them is having an innocent bystander killed because of her -- her enemies, her gods, her battles -- that has always been very hard. She also fears being alone, without home or friends or gods. So much of her self-identity is tied up in those bonds that without them -- without them she feels adrift, and that undercuts her own ability to keep going.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
The Lasso of Truth, because of what it means when other people use it. She trusts her own sense of discretion, her own judgment on when to stop and how to handle it responsibly, not least because of the gifts she has received from her own gods and goddesses. I think she really fears it being mishandled, and it's happened enough in the past (and will in the future), that after Genocide exists it will be -- yeah. It's not good when she loses it.
6. What is their fondest memory?
Her fondest memory is probably from her youth, training with her sisters before she left for Patriarch's world and before Amazons started dying in earnest. Maybe it was the day she won the right to be Wonder Woman, though I am more inclined to think it was learning diplomacy at her mother's knee, and training with the older Amazons -- a simple day, full of simple pleasures. She doesn't get many of those days anymore.
7. What is their worst memory?
Her worst memory is a toss-up between the day her mother died saving the universe by taking Diana's place because she had already been wounded, and the day of the OMAC attack that killed so many of her sisters, shredded her own reputation more than it had been by the killing of Maxwell Lord, and resulted in the Amazons and their gods leaving the plane of reality Diana chose to exist on. Yeah, that was a pretty shitty day.
8. What or who was were their most significant influence?
Expound. Her most significant influence is her mother, who gave her such an example to follow of what a woman and a leader should be, and yet who also gave her examples of how all the things that count as virtues can turn to weaknesses with the right pressure, in the right set of circumstances. It made her aware that there are things that must be guarded against in order to prevent great damage in the long run. She's also been hugely influenced by Kal and Bruce, both in how to balance (or not balance) a real life with the superheroing, and how to balance her great compassion with her warrior's instinct and ruler's pragmatism. They, too, are great examples of both good and bad consequences for inherent personality traits and virtues.
From:
And now for part II!
For Diana a successful life is having worthwhile work to devote your days to, that evokes passion and interest and makes you exert yourself to the utmost to fulfill a purpose, having friends to laugh with and to share that work with, and not forgetting to look at the world around you and see all the good things that are there, and let it motivate you to work against all the hard and painful things that go hand-in-hand (for the moment) with being alive. I think for Diana the big things to keep are hope and a belief in action. Resignation is about as big an enemy for her as despair, on that score.
10. What makes them laugh?
People, really. The little quirks of her friends, the endearing ones that can be annoying at one and the same time. Puns, especially when they are accidental. Funny stories about human nature and the inherent ridiculousness of the universe. But especially puns. They are so silly.
11. What are their religious views?
Diana believes in, has met, and worships the Greek gods. She also knows that all the other gods exist and have their own sets of believers/worshipers, and she thinks that is awesome. Unless she has to fight any of them because they are trying to destroy Earth and/or the universe. Then she gets cranky.
12. What is their greatest strength?
Diana's greatest strength is her ability to hope in the face of all the odds, to keep going forward in her chosen course of action -- in any action -- in the face of overwhelming opposition or the face of a vast and uncaring universe. She can do it alone, too, but her example often convinces other people to come along with her, and then to strike out on their own, for their own beliefs. That's a powerful thing.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
It's a tossup here between her compassion, which will result in her giving people multiple chances to hurt her, to cause her pain, and also to really mess up the world at large. But there's also her warrior's spirit, which can trip over into pride and competitiveness and make compromise or cooperation very difficult.
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
The most important person, singly and all alone? This one is difficult because Diana has so many relationships and friendships that are sort of fundamental to who she is -- that have become so over time. There's Kal and Bruce, there's Dinah, there's Vanessa and her mother, Cassie and Helena, her former staff at the Themysciran Embassy, Tom Tresser, her mother, her sisters, Donna Troy -- I don't know that she could pick one that is the most important, full stop. I don't think she's built that way.
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?
She did die in canon, put into a coma by Neron and later dying in the hospital. Then she got to be a goddess for a while, but they kicked her out because she sucked at the non-interference thing. Shocking. But if she died again it would be protecting others from the things they cannot quite fight themselves. I think the world would miss her -- they usually do, she tends to be very inspirational. Her friends, her family -- all the people she loves and whose lives she has touched. It's a big list. See: Canon.

I'll go ahead and say X-23 for B, though.
From:
no subject
1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for?
X would kill to protect people, or to keep from needing to protect people in the future, especially from those who have already proven to be dangerous/careless/insane. She'd die in order to protect people, too. X and ideals do not mix well, but the concrete reality of people is something she has no trouble seeing as good to preserve. Most of the time.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
X will refuse to deal with people that treat her as a thing, now. She won't be used. Not by anyone. She's had too much of that in the past, and it rarely leads to anything good. Her decisions are hers now, for better or worse. It's not as hard as it used to be.
3. What do they dream about?
In her heart of hearts she dreams about seeing Megan and her mother again. Maybe they could come home. But she knows that is not something that can happen. She does know that.
4. What’s their biggest fear?
Her greatest fear is people in Milliways finding out about her trigger scent. And then using it. She is a very good and thorough weapon, you see.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
She'd have a hard time ditching both her fish and her locket. The fish have inadvertently become sort of a symbol of her own independence and her ability to take care of herself and other people, and the locket has the only pictures of her mother and her cousin that X has. So.
6. What is their fondest memory?
I think one of her fondest and yet most surprising memories is her birthday party. So many people showed up, and I don't think before that she realized how many people like her or think that she's valuable as more than just a weapon. Not in terms that stuck.
7. What is their worst memory?
Kimura. The day she killed her mother. The day she killed her sensei. 'Nough said.
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.
Pre-Milliways her most significant influence was The Facility. They built her into what she was. Post-Milliways -- Elle and Stitch gave her a way to bridge the gaps between the weapon and other people -- because they straddle the gap, too, and they do okay. Meg and Parker have really connected X to normal teenage/young adult stuff in a choose your own adventure kind of way. Bela helped X be independent. Liz and Hellboy have shown X that she can take care of things without hurting them, and that it is okay to love the place you're from, or the place you call home.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life?
Being useful. Having friends to help, who can also help you. Not dying.
10. What makes them laugh?
Thus far? Jack Sparrow. *wry* Just the one time.
11. What are their religious views?
X does not believe that gods and goddesses are anything more than really powerful people. *shrugs* They just have a different name.
12. What is their greatest strength?
Her greatest strength is her own sense of integrity and purpose. She knows what she thinks is right, she knows what she thinks is wrong, and she is not afraid to put that knowledge into practice.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
I can't say it's fatal but her communication skills are and always will be terrible. She has very little connection to her own emotions, all the passion of them is locked up with the trigger scent and violence, so while she can love people, or like them, or be happy or sad -- there's no fire to it. *wry* So.
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
Logan. He understands, both what she is capable of and what she is at sea about. There are so many things she doesn't have to tell him because he already knows. It's a relief.
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?
I suspect Elle would miss X the most, comparatively. I think a lot of other people would also be really unhappy, but all of them have more than just one or two people to care about. So. Yeah. X would die messily, and she would not go easy, but she could get vaporized in a massive conflict with aliens or giant robots, or get annihilated by the fist of an angry god. Depending.

I actually like Emma/Scott better than Scott/Jean. I am not really a fan of X/Julian Keller. I don't really like the larger Marvel-verse, I've never gotten into any of the characters or super-groups. DC is a different story, I really love the broader DC-verse, except for the cosmic Lantern stuff. that bores me. I don't know why, I usually love space opera, but not the way comics does it. Even Annihilation over in Marvel didn't sell me on it, and it was very good epic space opera.
As for Neverwhere, I like the book much more than the miniseries -- I think because I get to imagine things a little bit more. I kind of hate the comic like burning. It's ugly.

I am a hardcore K/S shipper from way back, but in the new movie I am like YAY SPOCK/UHURA. They make me happy. I also like Kirk/McCoy, friendship or, you know. Extra stuff. I just kind of like the group vibe, and I like the sharper edges on everyone because of the AU circumstances. Old Skool Trek is awesome and comfortable and I love it, but the new movie pushes a whole lot more of my fictional and characterization buttons, so it is kind of my new favorite.
I'm not sure how I feel about the reboot Romulans -- I really liked what Diane Duane did with them in the Star Trek books, and they were hella irrational in this one (understandably given the story, but), so that was kind of a downer. I think this version of Pike had better luck than TOS pike, too, though where was Number One and Philip Boyce? Inquiring minds WANT TO KNOW.
Um.
Fandomwise I get tired of woobie!Kirk and broken McCoy and bitchy!Uhura and ragefully weepy Spock. Also melodramatically abusive Winona and/or McCoy's ex-wife. They are just such tired tropes and I want them to go far away. And don't slam the door.

Dean'll kill a whole lot of uncanny sons-of-bitches at the drop of a hat and/or the sight of violence against humans. Killing humans, he just does that for John and Sam (and maybe Bobby). He'd die for -- well. He'd die for Sam and John at the drop of a hat, and he'd die for regular people with just a little more thought than that -- maybe five or six seconds. He does it like it's his job.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
He's not gonna have sex with a girl who's saying no, or flirt hardcore with a girl who's also saying no. That's just nasty as hell. His mama would have raised him better than that, and even without her -- it's not like he doesn't know women are people too. He's just not sure how to relate to them outside sex. Because girls are hot and he's never had time to really develop any longer-term relationships with anyone but Cassie, and everyone saw how that one ended.
3. What do they dream about?
He dreams about a life where Mary never died, and Sam didn't have to move around so much that he started hating them and this life, and John took 'em to baseball games and there was more to them than this. I think he also dreams sometimes -- and maybe these are more like nightmares, but -- about having a family of his own. Those get ugly really fast. Blame prior experience.
4. What’s their biggest fear?
Dean's biggest fear is being left alone, the only one to make it out alive. His worst nightmare is the one where Sam tries to kill him and Dean has to decide if he's gonna die and let Sam kill other people, or he's gonna take out his own brother.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
It's kind of a toss-up between the Impala and his necklace. One's a gift from Dad, and one's a gift from Sam. Being without one makes Dean homeless, being without the other makes him naked. You think you'd find it easy to choose?
6. What is their fondest memory?
Target practice with Dad the first time he hit everything square on. Either that or the time he made his first sawed-off shotgun.
7. What is their worst memory?
Currently? That time his Dad died in the hospital. In the future? It ain't stepping off the rack, that's for sure. He liked that. But the memory of Sam walking away to go with Ruby is probably gonna win it for a long time coming. (He doesn't believe Sam's ever gonna say yes to the big guy downstairs, not really.)
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.
John. Hands down. There was no one Dean wanted to please more, wanted to live up to more, wanted to be like more. He's the one who put Dean in charge of taking care of Sam in the first place, and he'd be someone completely different without that, too. Don't think he doesn't know it. And he doesn't give a shit if you think his Dad handled that wrong. Who the hell are you?
9. What do they believe makes a successful life?
Saving people. Hunting things. Keeping the bad shit from happening to people who can't take care of themselves. Sticking with family.
10. What makes them laugh?
Innuendo, lame jokes, pop culture references where people do not expect them. Sam's taste in music.
11. What are their religious views?
God's a bastard and if the fucker isn't dead Dean's gonna take him on himself. Just watch.
12. What is their greatest strength?
His love for his family.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
Dean is convinced he is the least worthwhile person and the most easily sacrificed that he knows. It makes him do stupid shit. Good lord.
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
Sam. Without Sam there isn't a reason for Dean. At all.
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?
Sam's miss Dean like hell. See the issue where Dean feels like he's so easily disposed of that Sam won't. Dean is dumb. I think in Milliways Kim and Angela would miss him, and maybe a couple other people. But there's no guarantee they would ever find out if he died, so. You know. Mostly just Sam. And Bobby.

B. Michael.
C. May I ask about Leverage?
From:
no subject
And now for B:
1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for?
Michael would kill at God's command, but at no one else's. She's got a sword that annihilates whatever it touches, and that's a heavy responsibility to bear. I think she's not in the habit of killing if it is at all avoidable (when God has not commanded it so). As for what she'd die for, nothing and no one save God. Her own best service is attained by being present to thwart the Devils in all their forms.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
Michael would neither break her own word nor break any of God's commands. Subvert a little, sure, but not break outright. And she doesn't talk about that last bit.
3. What do they dream about?
Michael never sleeps and thus has no need of dreams.
4. What’s their biggest fear?
Being swayed or subverted by her brother and taking his path.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
Her sword. Who else is prepared to carry that responsibility?
6. What is their fondest memory?
When Lucifer came home. (She will never admit it.)
7. What is their worst memory?
The War in Heaven, particularly that moment when her brother first raised his hand against her.
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.
Her brother has been the most significant influence, because most if not all of her existence has been devoted to opposing him, so everything that he is she cannot be. Except that that has started changing, which has made it easier for her to loosen up. The world will probably appreciate this a lot. Milliways might, too.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life?
Love, and trust in that love. The latter is often much harder than the former.
10. What makes them laugh?
Not a great deal when she's not playing a human role, but she will occasionally laugh when people are being unwittingly cute (or overprotective of her).
11. What are their religious views?
God is love, and his love is all that is necessary for people to be happy. Or it should be. But even God himself is shaped by stories, so perhaps that causes more problems than it might, otherwise.
12. What is their greatest strength?
Her purity of purpose. It lets her see a way through most if not all circumstances, where others might give up or freak out.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
Her stiff-necked pride. Hey, it runs in the family.
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
God. (And Lucifer).
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?
She's a story and not a person. Those are far more difficult to kill than most people thing.

It is my favorite happy-times show, I love the heists and the team interactions like crazy. I'm not very good at shipping, though I will read a wide variety of pairings. I think the one that makes the least sense to me is Parker/Nate, and thankfully I have not seen many fics dealing with that. I kind of quietly root for Parker/Hardison in canon because they are kind of hilariously confusing and sweet together.
I miss Sophie already, given the last episode, much as I also enjoy watching Jeri Ryan on my TV. I think sometimes the earnestness of the message in some episodes is a little overdone, but seriously, the heists and team dynamics and funny throwaway linse completely distract me from that.
It is a happy, shiny show.

From:

Nynaeve would kill any creatures of the shadow that she encountered and that tried to hurt her and hers. She'd kill to defend and she would kill in battle (and she has). It's not easy for her, she's a Healer through and through, but circumstances have not really allowed her to not have to make those kinds of choices. She'd die for -- well. Now that Lan is her Warder it would be difficult to make her die for anything unless he went first. She saw him after Moiraine 'died', and I don't think it's something she could handle doing to him. SO.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
She -- um. She would not Heal someone badly or really use her healing ability as a method of getting people to do what she wants. Probably. Mostly. Unless Forsaken were involved.
3. What do they dream about?
Children. A life where she stayed Wisdom of Emond's Field and nothing else in canon happened. In the better versions of these dreams Lan ends up finding her anyway.
4. What’s their biggest fear?
Losing her sense of self and her ability to make her own choices. It's one of the reasons she still hates the Aes Sedai. Rules are not Nynaeve's favorite thing.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
Lan's ring. One guess why. Her ter'angreal and angreal are also very nice, but now that The End Times are over -- the ring is once again in the top spot.
6. What is their fondest memory?
Her wedding.
7. What is their worst memory?
Five minutes before her wedding, or thereabouts. She thought she was dying. Augh.
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.
Her father was definitely her most significant influence. He trained her in tracking, let her do things the girls of the village didn't get to, and I think her independence and determination stemmed both from that and then from the after-affects of his death. Being alone will either make or break someone, sometimes. So.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life?
Good, hard work, good friends, and the ability to have just a little fun sometimes, though she will never admit to that last one.
10. What makes them laugh?
Dancing.
11. What are their religious views?
She's not very religious, but she'll swear by the Light and knows the Creator and the Dark One exist.
12. What is their greatest strength?
Her fierce determination, that lets her do all that is necessary in pursuit of her goals.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
It's a toss-up between her incredible temper and her utter disdain for most people. *wry* So.
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
Lan.
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?
I think by this point she is more likely to die of old age than anything else, especially if Lan predeceases her. It'll be hard but she'll keep on trucking. And at that point I think only her children and stuff will miss her. (They will also be kind of relieved that she's gone. Nynaeve will make for a scary matriarch.)
From:

1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for?
This one is hard for Raven, because they are not the terms in which he thinks. He will kill when it is necessary, or because he wants to, or because someone has transgressed into matters in which Raven takes an interest, or just as a consequence of other actions. He -- is not good at dying, so while his body can be destroyed, he can't. I don't think he'd die for anything. That journey is what happens to other people.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
He will not willingly step into a cage of any sort. That is not what he is for.
3. What do they dream about?
Raven remembers when he sleeps. He does not dream.
4. What’s their biggest fear?
Cages. Being alone.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
His coat. It is a reminder and a repository of a whole lot of useful and useless crap.
6. What is their fondest memory?
Hanging out and humming lullabies while Ace and Moiraine sleep. Sitting with Coyote shortly after she gave him a useful body. Every day he lived among his people.
7. What is their worst memory?
The inability to remember is the worst memory in the world, each and every time.
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.
His people gave him a framework to build himself around, which led to everything that came after. Coyote is another big one, because they have played off each other for so long that -- yeah. Other half of himself, yo, to one degree or another.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life?
Living. That's all.
10. What makes them laugh?
Everything. Even pain or doom or despair. He is a sicko, I know.
11. What are their religious views?
Gods suck and are useless. Full stop.
12. What is their greatest strength?
Creation. Laughter. Behold the power of glitter.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
Madness and overconfidence, which are heavily interrelated. (Also his deathwish, which is mostly on the back burner now YAY.)
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
Variously and at different times Ace, Moiraine, and Coyote. They are the current tripod upon which his sanity rests. *wry*
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?
He'd die by taking Death's hand (or Ace's) and stepping through into whatever comes next. Everyone else will predecease him, so that's all right. He will not be missed.

b) I'm afraid of Ace being part of a tripod for anyone's sanity, let alone Raven's. :D
