Who's your favorite Hunger Games character?

[identity profile] far-to-nowhere.livejournal.com 2012-05-12 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU ANSWERED CORRECTLY because my character question was a mask for what I REALLY wanted to ask you, "Gale or Peeta?"

My favorite character is Katniss. And between Gale or Peeta--I liked Gale better. Though I'm not really "Team" anyone.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-12 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I legit wish I had the energy/time/attention span to write up a Gale character manifesto because my love of his character has very little to do with the love triangle, although, obviously, as a result of the love triangle I reside firmly in "camp Gale." But I would be very OK with Gale hooking up with half the characters. One day I would like to try Finnick/Gale. I think that's a pairing that probably doesn't get written a lot! And no doubt it would be hot.

How did this turn into me being gross and inappropriate?

[identity profile] far-to-nowhere.livejournal.com 2012-05-12 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yea there were many moments in the book where I was like, "Fuck you Gale for making me like you so much. You selfless bastard!" Him bringing Prim and mom down to the shelter when Katniss had forgotten, and then him volunteering to get Peeta. Selfless perfect man is perfect.

Dude Hunger Games is wide open for many many gross interpretations. Too many hot kickass characters in that book.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-12 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes I agree. With all of this.

Username: far_to_nowhere
Name/Nickname: Far
Tumblr/Twitter/Etc.?: far_to_nowhere on tumblr.
Favorite Characters/Pairings: LINDEN 4 EVAAAAAA. Linden/Holden but more as friends, they should just live across the hall from each other for the rest of their lives but don't have to get romantic because I'd just be content with them as bros4life.
Favorite Episode? 1x11: The Sarah and Holder epic episode of togetherness. "You want the hamburger without the meat?" And Sarah's emotional journey through the episode. Flawless.
Do you make art/write fic for this or any other fandom? No :( Maybe some icons on occasion.
Other Fandoms: Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Suits, Justified, TSCC, FNL, The Hunger Games, Stargate, etc (see my profile)
What else is on your journal?: Just fandom stuff. Reactions to episodes/fandom in general. I'm pretty casual.
What should someone who friends you know about you? I comment when I see something interesting and expect nothing more from my friends. I don't see who's commenting the most or expect everyone to comment everytime I make an entry. I don't talk a whole lot about my personal life and probably don't get into my f-list's lives that much either. Meep. Yes, I can only talk about fandom sometimes :D

UNF. Gendry <3

He is the love of my life right now NGEL.



ME GUSTA.

1X11 was one of my favorites too.

Anyhoo. I love Breaking Bad and Suits too. Friends?

[identity profile] far-to-nowhere.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
I have so few Breaking Bad friends. And so few Suits friends. And probably not BB/Suits fans.

So I'm guessing when BB season comes around it'll be us just yelling profanities in our journals much to the effect of, "HOLYYY SHIT!!! WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!!!!???? NOOOO WAAAYYYY!!!"

I'm very excited for the new season. Ugh.

AND SUITS TOO WEEEEE.

Hardcore awesome. Adding you now!

[identity profile] twilightthief.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I cant wait for all my summer shows to come back like Suits and BB!!! <3

We def WILL be yelling at our TVs and keyboard mashing when BB starts up again!

Yeah-us BB and Suits fans are hard to come by AND you like The Killing too which is super cool.

Umm Im retarded and cant find your tumblr. Do you have a link by chance? :)

Yea, I'm surprised half my f-list hasn't abandoned me after all my BB keyboard smashing.

That's true BB/Suits/The Killing is like a triple threat of shows alot of LJ people don't watch. THEIR LOSS.

http://far-to-nowhere.tumblr.com/

Your link to your tumblr didn't work in your app below.

[identity profile] twilightthief.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
LOL at that macro!

It is their loss!

Well, we're not doing too good as far as finding each other's tumblr's are we? ;)

Maybe this will work? http://haabloodyhaa.tumblr.com/

UNF Gabriel Macht. My bed! Now!

[identity profile] waltzmatildah.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Breaking Bad is my actual most favourite show ever! On the back of pretty much this alone, we should totally be friends!!!

Name/Nickname: I go by my middle name, Jade, around the internets.
Tumblr/Twitter/Etc.?: I never use my Tumblr anymore.
Favorite Characters/Pairings: Linden! Holder! I also have a soft spot for Terry and Mitch. As for pairings: Linden/Holder and Darren/Jamie because I'm pretty sure Jamie is totally in love with his boss.
Favorite Episode? "Missing." The character building in that episode blew my mind.
Do you make art/write fic for this or any other fandom? I write fic for The Killing and lots of other fandoms when I have time.
Other Fandoms: Oh gosh, so many. Game of Thrones, Parks & Rec, New Girl, Mad Men, Community, Sherlock, Supernatural, The Avengers, Being Human UK, Doctor Who, Shameless, Justified, Once Upon a Time, Lost (forever obsessed)...the list is kind of endless.
What else is on your journal?: Real life rambling, reaction posts, memes and sometimes recs and meta.

I just realized I forgot to save the right question about fandoms and I answered differently than everyone else. Hahah. OH WELL.

Listen, girlfriend, if we were not already friends, I would so FRIEND THE SHIT OUT OF YOU RIGHT NOW.

[identity profile] ozmissage.livejournal.com 2012-05-13 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. I saw that yours was different, but I figured you added that line in for yourself or something. ;)

DITTO. Although, I'm always afraid I come off sounding vaguely scary in these things, but I live my life by the Murtaugh principle, just like Ted Mosby.

(Also, YAY, FOR THIS MEME! Maybe we can lure a few more fans our way. My dream is that we one day have a fandom large enough to do a fic exchange. How many would we need? Eight? Five? I'm setting the bar low because that is thing that needs to happen.)

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-13 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well I did but I wrote out my answers + the coding for the post in a notepad document ahead of time and just forgot to change the copy-paste-ah code when I altered my own. Pay attention, KC! I guess I could always change it now, amiright?

We have to be able to lure 1 or 2 people. I would settle for me and you just doing fic exchanges for eternity. ALSO: Joel Kinnaman.

(No, I don't know what that means. I just zoned out and then forgot what I was going to say after ALSO, so I improvised?)

[identity profile] ozmissage.livejournal.com 2012-05-13 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You can totally still add it in. :D

Are there any comms at all? Maybe we should pm [livejournal.com profile] waltzmatildah, I know she's as fannish about it as we are, but she's not on my flist yet. I would say advertise on Tumblr, but I haven't been over there outside of gif gathering expeditions in roughly a billion years.

I would settle for me and you just doing fic exchanges for eternity.

Works for me! We don't have to worry about anyone defaulting and we get Holder/Linden goodness. <333

Joel Kinnaman is a perfectly legitimate follow-up to also. Did you see his pic in EW this week? He's in some romcom where he dumps a girl (who was a famous actress, but understandably I was too distracted by Joel to notice who she was) and then she goes and does some stuff. It sounds like he'll be in it for roughly five minutes, but those five minutes willl be amazing, I'm sure. I'm concerned that he's going to make me watch Robocop next year though. That's just not a respectable movie title at all.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-13 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god it is called Lola Versus (her name is Greta Gerwig) and it looks adorable and HE looks adorable in it and OMG GIF TIME:

Image

And I think this (http://krickets.tumblr.com/post/22858201784/joel-kinnaman-greta-gerwig-on-the-set-of-lola) must be the picture you're talking about? If not I need to go look at my EW rightnow! Cause I didn't actually read it yet this week.

Yes, Robocop is a lame title. But if you think about it, so is batman! Maybe they'll spin it and it'll be like "Robocop: The dark side of the donut." Or whatever? LOL And then you won't feel half as bad for watching it.

By the way I'm potentially watching the Girls pilot tonight.

Oh my gosh, talk about ADD. No I wasn't able to find any other comms. Except the teeny one here at LJ. I posted at Tumblr but I have like a follower and a half and so that's not very productive on my end, lol. I would PM her but I wouldn't know what to say: Hey, FYI. This exists?

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ack! *hides* You weren't supposed to see us talking about you. Shield your eyes!

Here, I have made fanfic happen. (http://crickets.livejournal.com/tag/fanfic%3Athe.killing)

I need some Killing GIFs for more stealthy misdirection. Clearly.

[identity profile] waltzmatildah.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Fanfic is the best misdirection ever!! (though gifs work too!). Thank you for the link!!

And for not saying horrible things about me! Hahahaha!!

Greta Gerwig and Joel together in one movie. I CANNOT WAIT. UNF. That gif is killing me too btw.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. The purple shirt, the bike, the grin. It's all very good.

[identity profile] waltzmatildah.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Friends?!!

Game of Thrones is almost as flaw-free as The Killing! And Once Upon A Time is about to start here in Australia and the promos are intriguing me...

Plus, you write the actual best fic ever. There is also that :)

[identity profile] ozmissage.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! I've been wanting to friend you for ages, but I'm always chicken about that sort of thing. I feel like we need to round up all The Killing fans so we can actually have folks to squee with. It's just so freaking good.

Game of Thrones too. :D

[identity profile] timidwildone.livejournal.com 2012-05-15 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
I like this "rounding up" idea. Most excellent.

[identity profile] twilightthief.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Darren/Jamie because I'm pretty sure Jamie is totally in love with his boss. UNF yes. I thought I was the only perv that liked Jamie/Darren. I think it's just Jamie's face when he looks at Darren-it cinched it for me.

I love SPN and GOT too! Frenz?

I just saw that you used an Adam Scott gif below which OMG, so much love for that man. And Alaric! <333

[identity profile] twilightthief.livejournal.com 2012-05-15 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
LOL. I have that exact icon saved! I love it!

Adam Scott is so great.

UNF. Alaric is my homeboy. I love him too. *internally crying over TVD*

Favorite Characters/Pairings: Stephen Holder is my favourite character. But, to be honest, I basically love everyone in this bar. The whole show is phenomenal. Season two has seen my investment in Mayor Richmond's and Jamie's characters also.
Favorite Episode? As much as I loved last week's episode, I don't think I could ever go past the season one premiere double episode for my favourite. It did EVERYTHING that a great premiere should do, imo. And despite the fact that I was yet to have an investment in ANY of the characters, by the time they found Rosie's body in the boot of that car and Stan arrived and broke down... I WAS UGLY CRYING. Not gonna lie. And also completely sucked in by, well, everything. I have not looked back since!
Do you make art/write fic for this or any other fandom? I've written fic for Grey's Anatomy, The Vampire Diaries, Rookie Blue, Game of Thrones, Glee (which I don't watch anymore), and Breaking Bad (which is my favourite show of all time, ever, amen).
Other current fandoms: The Good Wife, Revenge and Homeland. But I'm too scared to write fic for these shows yet!! Ditto for The Killing, actually.
Any non-current, older fandoms worth mentioning? BtVS and AtS. That's probably about it.
What else is on your journal?: Epsiode re-caps, gratuitous music recs, random travel related shenanigans, references to the actual cutest dog in the whole entire world and the universe, university stuff.
What should someone who friends you know about you? I am way too verbose for my own good. And I think this stems from being perpetually unable to explain myself properly!!! See: Every attempt at TVD meta I have ever written...!! Also, I am in Forever!Denial about the departure of Izzie Stevens from Grey's Anatomy and her break up with Alex. In my head canon, they are busy living happily ever after, amen.

I added you on twitter. I am so excited to have like, actual people to talk to about this show. If I could formulate thoughts bigger than inwardly screaming I would probably write a reaction post for tonight's epi! I'm gonna have to work on that before I go to bed.

I have added you back! I am a twitter loser most of the time, but every now and then I poke my head up over there. Mostly I'm here... skulking about being creepy!

Now I'm gonna go try and find a stream of the newest episode. Will be back with thoughts!!

Completely apropos of basically nothing (but I have no where else to put this because no one else CARES!), I have had the ACTUAL WORST luck to find a decent stream of this new freaking episode.
