Few thoughts and two memes
Things 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!

I could capslock, but this will get long so I'll spare your eyes: I love that she's the spunky independent girl who also embraces the typical girly things (pink! flowers! being the healer of the team!). I love that she gets regularly away from the supposedly elite trained assassins and yet has no problems bantering and flirting with supposedly tough soldier guys who think a little too much of themselves. I love that she has special powers and an ancient legacy hanging over her head and is nevertheless an absolutely relatable and normal person who has dreams and expectations like everyone else, and that she sometimes comes on a little too strong and is therefore a little insensitive at times, but never actively so. I loved how I was totally spoiled about her death and yet cried like a baby because I was so sad to see her go. In short, she rocks.

B-but I'm a mainstream person! D: Oh. well...
For the second meme: Tifa. I wanted to choose Yuffie, but. :| And for the first meme: Tifa, Cloud; "childhood enemies"
I think every time I comment I request a drabble. Why is that. D8no subject
What I love about Tifa: I love that she's the tough physical ass-kicker who happens to be all soft and sensitive inside. I love that she has a little trouble with expressing emotions and a little trouble with speaking up and yet is kind and supportive to others and stands by who and what she believes in. I love that she was the girl with the easy life who went through a horrible trauma and had to rebuild everything from the scratch and succeeded and kept herself together thorough it all. I love that she's hard to warm up to and hard to understand but when you do you find all these complex layers and depth, and it's just so damn awesome.
I can do Yuffie too if you want to? Also, drabble requests are just fine, don't worry about it. I wouldn't offer if I had a problem with them.

I think you just listed everything I love about Tifa and more and in a more coherent way than I could. ♥ Especially the being troubled with expressing emotions and speaking up. I love all those bits that make her not-perfect and human and the description of her as a "tough physical ass-kicker who happens to be all soft and sensitive inside" makes me smile. :)
Ohh, then I'd like to see your opinion on Yuffie too. :D

I just love all the FF7 girls. They all have something unique going on for them and that's terrific.

2. Ruby (what? I like her, esp s3 Ruby)

2. I liked her too, and I liked her the very best when she was Katie Cassidy. What I love about Ruby that she always had an agenda and that agenda was All About Ruby, and how that remained consistent through all her changes. I loved that she was never ashamed of what she was and didn't bow to the Winchesters or let them push her around. I loved that she knew which strings to pull and how to slip through the right cracks and how relentlessly she went after what she wanted and got it in the end. She took manipulating the Winchesters to an entirely new level and that was pretty damn cool.

Well, maybe from the beginning. I loved how she started out as this tough badass soldier and never stopped being one, and yet she stood up to her superiors for stranger's sake already in the first damn episode and overcame her empathy-discouraging upbringing in record time. I loved how she bonded with Crichton and Pilot first despite the two of them having the least in common with Peacekeepers, and how she was the one to really get what was going with Chiana when Chiana's brother supposedly died, and I loved how she was so determined to make up for killing Moya's first Pilot that she was willing to die for it. I loved it when she put Crais in the Aurora Chair and had no issues about it at all and how guilty she felt about Zhaan's sacrifice in contrast. I loved how she tried and eventually did connect with her mother, and how she wanted to do that in the first place given the Peacekeeper "family values". I loved how she loved Crichton so much and was so hurt when the other Crichton died, and still helped the living one to go against Scorpius and eventually opened up to him again (though Crichton was an asshole by then). I loved how she fought off Scarrans's attempts to mindfuck her. I love how she is this perfect balance compassion and badass and that she grew so fucking much because she wanted to grow. And now I think I need to rewatch Farscape PLEASE EXCUSE ME.
