Few thoughts and two memes
Jan. 30th, 2010 09:56 amThings I've learned this week:
- Man, I sound like a robot. Seriously, I've been looking at the comments I've been dropping around and Kraftwerk starts playing in my head.
- If you feel paranoid about something, there's usually a reason for it. Not listening to your paranoia may lead to some academic fail. >_<
- FF7-specific: If you like both Tifa and Aerith, you will always and forever be in a minority. It's the law of nature.
- Kristin Kreuk-specific: Apparently if you play an unpopular female character on TV once, you will be a pariah forever. I mean some Smallville-fans are actually shocked that she wasn't Lana on that Chuck-episode. Way to be supportive of other women there, people.
- Female characters need more loving. True story.
And then the memes. Meme the First:
The first FIVE people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble/ficlet of any pairing/character of their choosing. (If I don't know the fandom, I'll give you chance to change, or I can make something up.)In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.
DW version here so you can keep count.
Meme the Second:
Comment with the name of a female character (in any show, movie, book, comic, etc that you think I'm familiar with) and I'll tell you one thing I love about her. In return, you can do the same in your journal (if you like!).
You are also free to combine these two memes: Ask me about a female character, then make me write about her. Everything is a go this weekend!
