what's that say about me?

[krickets]

ozmissage gave me this meme after lengthy discussions about "what our shipping and character preference say about us." This one's just about characters, maybe I'll alter it and do a "pairings" one later.

List fifteen (or however many) of your favorite characters from different fandoms and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, if they're so inclined.

Not a comprehensive list, more of a sampling.
Duke Crocker, Haven
Gale Hawthorne, The Hunger Games (books)
Stephen Holder, The Killing
Chon McAlister, Savages & Kings of Cool (books)
Sawyer Ford, Lost (pre-season 5, sorry guys)
Kenzi, Lost Girl (picking only one from this fandom was hard... because Tamsin!)
Pacey Witter, Dawson's Creek
Felix, Orphan Black
Topher Brink, Dollhouse
Hanna Marin, Pretty Little Liars
Fiona Gallagher, Shameless US (also a hard choice! because Karen! And Lip! But mostly Karen.)
Clayton "Jonesy" Jones, Carnivale
Brad Colbert, Generation Kill
Buffy Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars
Kara Thrace, Battlestar Galactica
Katherine Pierce, The Vampire Diaries
Cristina Yang, Grey's Anatomy
Brian Kinney, Queer as Folk US
Malcolm Reynolds, Firefly

For the record, there were certain fandoms *cough*FridayNightLights*cough* that I just couldn't pick one favorite character. It was just too cruel.

Ooh, oh! I like this! And I wanna do it tooooo! Though, 1am, probably not the best time for analysing teeeeveeeeeeeee (or maybe it's the BEST time?!)

Hm. Can I just do an "I APPROVE OF YOUR CHOICES" type reaction instead :)

[Also, the fact that these are broken up into groups of five, is that part of the meme? Have I missed something? Sorry, like I said, 1am and all that...! But I'll need to know for when I COPY IT SHAMELESSLY!]

eta: I only know eight of the characters you've mentioned above! CLEARLY I DO NOT WATCH ENOUGH TELEVISION! AND LUCKILY, 1AM IS KINDA THE PERFECT TIME TO RECTIFY THAT TOOOO!

You're definitely allowed to say that. Definitely. Definitely.

Oh man I'm a dork. I split them like that so I could count easily by fives without numbering them. There's no other reason they're split. Let me fix that right now! Hahaha.

Wait 8? ONLY 8? That seems so unlikely to me! Haha. I wanna know which 8!

You do need to do this meme! I think 1AM is absolutely the best time. But anytime is the best time to analyze TV (or movies, or books, or whatever.)

Okay, so, here are the eight.

Cristina Yang
Buffy Summers
Stephen Holder
Katherine Pierce
Felix Dawkins
Pacey Witter
Gale Hawthorne
Chon McAlister

(I've never watched any of those other shows, with the exception of one or two episodes of Dollhouse and Firefly because Joss, but I really couldn't get into either show and the episodes that I did watch were yeaaaarrrrssss ago).

Do I fail at television watching? I probably do!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Haha, well... only kinda!

[waltzmatildah.livejournal.com]

Given that two of those eight that I know don't even come from television shows, I say it's definitely a fail on my part! Oh well!!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yeah but you know Chon! And Stephen! and Buffy!, and Cristina! and PACEY! and Gale! You got all the important ones!
