A heart that hurts is a heart that works

Another meme... would you look at that? IS ANYONE SURPRISED?
Pick a character from a fandom (preferably one I know, that would be helpful...) and comment, and I'll answer these questions:
a. My favorite thing about that character.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
f. Their ship from hell.
g. Their song.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
i. The last bad dream they had.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
And in the more serious and depressing world of real life, it seems twitter is facilitating a real wave of support and empathy for Iranian protesters. That's... good. Really good. It's nice to when things are more than a shallow fad, y'know?
But I'm not sure I could cope with following the tweets of people knowing that if they didn't update for 24 hours they could well be dead.
...
Sorry to end on such a downer. Is anger better? FUCK YOU AHMADINEJAD.

on 2009-06-17 09:02 am (UTC)I guess that means, I PICK JON STEWART!
no subject
on 2009-06-17 09:11 am (UTC)I just watched Stephen Colbert paint himself on an egg kicking the bastard.
:)
Jon Stewart to start? Good choice! (I'll get to it as soon as the Report finishes...*runs back to tv*)
no subject
on 2009-06-17 09:58 am (UTC)a. The way he hides his intelligence behind doe eyes and a love of silly jokes.
b. Slight self-centeredness?
c. STEPHEN COLBERT. FOOL.
d. Boston Legal. Because. Just. Alan. Denny. Jon. YES.
e. Good Omens! That would rock so hard. He and Stephen and Corwley and Aziraphale arguing about religion.
f. Jon Stewart/Rush Limbaugh
g. Turn You Inside Out - REM
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
It’s what you do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
h. I'm Just A Goddamn Comedian!
i. It's a thousand years in the future, the world is ruled by George W. Bush's mummified zombie head, Glenn Beck wrote the 342 Commandments and Stephen Colbert is about to be executed for commiting the illegal act of satire. JON WAKES UP SCREAMING.
j. What? That's just a little bit sick. I don't know... something suburban. He smoked, right? Lung cancer, or hit by a car.
no subject
on 2009-06-27 01:37 am (UTC)Anyways, I love your choices for Jon! Spot on! :-)
no subject
on 2009-06-27 02:32 am (UTC)Thanks :)
Re: b) To be honest I was clutching at straws to find something negative to say about Jon...I guess sometimes the daily show is slightly self-indulgent, with Jon going off on tangents about what he likes and what he thinks is funny and what pisses him off... but thats why we love it. TCR does the same, but it's supposed to.

on 2009-06-17 09:40 am (UTC)Stephen, or "Stephen"?
no subject
on 2009-06-17 09:43 am (UTC)no subject
on 2009-06-17 01:12 pm (UTC)a. His sweet-touchy-feely-shiny-funny-sparkly-flirty charm with a giant heart to match.
b. A tad of an attention seeker, it must be said.
c. JONNY STEW.
d. Stephen Colbert/Spock. because I find that nerdily amusing.
e. I think Stephen would thank me for sending him to Middle Earth. He could confuse everyone, mock the dark lord and get away with it (because flaming eyes don't understand irony) and chat up Legolas in Elvish...
f. Stephen Colbert/Bill O'Reilly. I CAN'T COPE. NOT EVEN AS CRACK.
g. I'm Your Man - Leonard Cohen
h. I'm Still Afraid Of Bears.
i. That he went to Iraq for a week and had all his hair shaved off because Obama told him to. OH. WAIT...
j. Like a pharoah, with thousands of faithful fans killing themselves to be buried alongside...um, no, seriously, I hope from old old age.
no subject
on 2009-06-17 01:21 pm (UTC)And I would've been so disappointed if you didn't say O'Reilly for (f).
with thousands of faithful fans killing themselves to be buried alongside lol irl.
no subject
on 2009-06-17 01:43 pm (UTC)It was so hard to come up with a song! What would you say is a good song for him?
no subject
on 2009-06-17 02:08 pm (UTC)you can bow and pretend
that you don't, don't know you're a legend.
no subject
on 2009-06-17 02:16 pm (UTC)that's a damn good snippet for him!
I did I'm Your Man just cos I like to think Stephen would be really head-over-heels devoted.

on 2009-06-17 01:29 pm (UTC)DEADPOOL
a. HE IS BATSHIT INSANE
b. Occasionally the bloodlust is predictable :)
c. Movieverse or comicverse? I'll go with movieverse, it's easier, less characters. Um... either Wade/Bradley (I know, I know, weird) or Wade/Remy (though that much prettiness and fuck-me eyes in one room might make the world explode)
d. Deadpool/Adrian Veidt from Watchmen
e. Something like High School Musical. He can go in there and just go nuts with machine guns. But first point out the problems: "why the fuck do you sing everything?! You do realise that people can hear you, right? And YOU NEED TO LOOK AT PEOPLE WHEN YOU TALK TO THEM! How are you staring at the camera if you don't know it's there?! Ohhh...nice hat, it's sparkly...now DIE DIE DIE!"
f. Deadpool/Hannah Montana
g. Shut Me Up - Mindless Self Indulgence
I can't wait for you to knock me up
In a minute, minute
In a fucking minute
I can't wait for you to shut me up
SHUT ME UP!
h. astfglILOVETHECAPSKEY
i. It involved My Little Ponies, fluffy white clouds and candy.
j. The combined forces of every single motherfucking suerhero ever are required to take him down when he is convinced they no longer make gobstoppers and attempts to destroy the world.
no subject
on 2009-06-18 07:47 pm (UTC)Ah that so belongs in a comic.
no subject
on 2009-06-18 11:40 pm (UTC)*is flattered* why thank you.
In fact, I think deadpool should be dumped in every crappy film/tv series/whatever.
He makes things so fun

on 2009-06-17 01:39 pm (UTC)THE HITCHER
a. His polo-for-a-monacle
b. His frequent raping of innocent dolphins and other assorted animals.
c. The Crack Fox. EPICLY MESSED UP PAIRING, YES?
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
e. Boston Legal. He runs around urinating on people, upset that his smoke machine doesn't work here, and they're just all "What is...going on? What THE FUCK? Denny, put that gun down!"
f. The Hitcher/either of my precious boys.
g. Using his actual song would be cheating, wouldn't it? Evil and a Heathen - Franz Ferdinand
Well I'm evil and a heathen
I'm evil and a heathen
I'm a heathen and evil like you
And there's not a lot I can do
h. I'M A COCKNEY!
i. He dreamed he was surrounded by perky mockney pop stars like lily allen.
j. Choking on an eel pie.
no subject
on 2009-06-17 01:41 pm (UTC)Ah! I forgot d.
Um... The Hitcher/Mr Burns
heheh.
That's really weird.
no subject
on 2009-06-17 01:45 pm (UTC)(Same goes for crack fox, but somehow less scary/unthinkable.)
no subject
on 2009-06-17 01:52 pm (UTC)Serves you right for giving me The Hitcher! I mean, he's a creepy rapist knife-slashing crazy guy!
Oh, you know who I should pair him with? Deadpool. That would be epic. Until Deadpool killed him.

on 2009-06-17 02:13 pm (UTC)An insane comic book character from xmen. And when I say insane, I mean certifiable. Voices in his head, split personality. Also, he breaks the fourth wall all the time and knows he's in a comic book, but the other characters just ignore it because he's crazy anyway.
no subject
on 2009-06-17 02:18 pm (UTC)I really should watch/read xmen. Saw the Wolverine movie, but nothing beyond that. I do like me a bit of Hugh Jackman.
no subject
on 2009-06-17 02:20 pm (UTC)Oh, well then you know Deadpool! Or, at least, movie version. Ryan Reynolds playing Wade Wilson=Deadpool.
Though wtf they did to him at the end I got no idea.
no subject
on 2009-06-18 03:07 am (UTC)no subject
on 2009-06-18 04:59 am (UTC)a. His endless, childlike and oddly vulnerable good intentions.
b. His immediate aggressive reaction to things that confuse, surprise, anger, challenge, irritate or contradict him. Or breathe too loudly.
c. JON.
d. "Stephen"/Alan Shore
e. Oh, I think "Stephen" should be dropped into everything...um, y'know I world giggle at him being dropped into the Mighty Boosh or something. For once he'd be the least ridiculous person.
f. "Stephen"/Bill O'Reilly BECAUSE HE'D DO ANYTHING THAT BASTARD ASKED AND I CAN'T COPE WITH WHAT THAT ENTAILS
g. Black Eyed - Placebo
I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts
I was never grateful
That's why I spend my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
Black-eyed
h. Stephen Colbert: The Once and Future America
i. Was a memory he doesn't want to discuss. And it definitely doesn't involve his father, or that little scar above his eyebrow, or being 11 years old and not understanding why his teacher wants him to come to the classroom alone, or...Jon, why are you crying?
j. Depends if Jon gets to him in time. Maybe suicide, or OD, or STD, or...lets just say self-destruction.

on 2009-06-19 12:33 am (UTC)ADRIAN VEIDT (and his fabulous purple fierceness)
a. Don't make me pick just one! His kick-ass ninja fighting skills. His sexy sexy pout. His style. His intelligence. His emotional messed-uppedness. Oh! I know! HIS FIERCENESS.
b. His arrogance (well founded as it may be)
c. Dan. Definitely Dan. Or, possibly, Dr Manhattan (post blue glow Jon)
d. It's not crossover, exactly, but...Adrian/David Bowie. You know it's gonna be fabulous.
e. I'm thinking Adrian needs to bring his own brand of morally ambiguous kick-ass to everything. Just to be weird, I'll say Boston Legal. Alan Shore needs a challenge - going up against THE Adrian Veidt over a certain diary written by a certain insane vigilante? Challenging.
f. The Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie
h. King of Kings
i. Lists of names. Thousands of them. He's trying to learn them all. He's up to 'E'. But then he begins to forget, and has to start again.
j. The only person I can see successfully killing Adrian is...Adrian.
no subject
on 2009-06-19 03:52 am (UTC)I really like i and j. And they go together way, way too well. *shiver*
no subject
on 2009-06-19 09:13 am (UTC)*blushes furiously* the only awesomeness is Adrians :)
And re: i and j... I KNOW. He's a heartbreaker, the way he makes you love him and them goes and destroys himself *whimper*
no subject
on 2009-06-19 05:18 pm (UTC)Re: i, there have been some great fics about it, but check out this (http://community.livejournal.com/fandom_poetry/3052.html) in that context. (And you should come play with us in that comm!)
no subject
on 2009-06-20 01:53 am (UTC)I'll come play in your comm any day *smirks*
Ok. Sorry. That wasn't funny. But I couldn't resist :) Seriously, though, that was really good. I'd love to come play, though I have never ever tried writing poetry. I've barely tried writing fic.
*is scared and insecure*
no subject
on 2009-06-20 03:03 am (UTC)That comm is actually for existing poetry that meshes nicely with fandom themes, not for original stuff. So no need to be scared! We'd love some other fandoms, too, so feel free to join/post if you find anything appropriate.
no subject
on 2009-06-20 04:41 am (UTC)Oooh, sounds great :)
no subject
on 2009-06-27 01:34 am (UTC)I hope I'm not too late to play! I LOVE MEMES!!! XD
Um...since you've done, Jon, Stephen, and "Stephen", I suppose the only other person that falls into my favorites would be the ONE and ONLY: JOHN OLIVER! <3
please?
no subject
on 2009-06-27 02:55 am (UTC)JOHN OLIVER! (as appears in TDS, so a weird amalgamation of him and his character)
a. His obsessive protective love of the English language
b. He is way to good at a straight face.
c. BIG RIG!
d. John Oliver/Helen Mirren as The Queen (he'd wear her clothes! You know he would!)
e. Life on Mars. (the English version, which I staunchly believe is the only one worth watching. Sorry.)
f. John Oliver/Richard Quest
g. Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend (Ironic, yes. I know he went to Cambridge, and plays up the pompousness, but I just see him hating real snobbery...and encountering it a lot...)
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
I've seen those English dramas too, they're cruel
So if there's any othe way to spell the word
It's fine with me, with me
h. Tea, Soccer and Crossdressing: What Americans Need To Know About England
i. A flashback to being tormented by the oh-so-evil John King, intertwined with the realisation as he wakes that Rob is gone, and a lengthy period of time trying to work out which is worse.
j. Um...stress? A highly strung Brit with visa problems stuck in a land of insane Americans...it's possible.
