They've Given You A Number

[redbrunja]

I got six and a half hours of miserable, nightmare-filled sleep last night, so instead of answering these two memes, I'm going to throw them at my flist, because I want to hear your answers.

fannish5 : List 5 works (where work could be a series, movie, book, episode, or even a character) that you feel are misunderstood, and why.

What series, movie, book, episode, or character do you think is misunderstood by the fandom? Tell tell.

Personally, Dollhouse (neither as good or as bad as people say) and Snape (for obvious reasons) are on my list.

And the current writer's block:

Tell me flist, what do you think my code name should be?

Edward Cullen/Bella Swan, check.

Do you mean by the people who think it's the greatest romance ever or by the people who are like 'THIS RELATIONSHIP KILLS MY SOUL'?

[natural-blue-26.livejournal.com]

For sure the "greatest romance EVAH" people- because stalking/controling.etc is the healthiest way to start a relationship.

To add to list (because I can apparently only come up with characters and was in a Naruto comm earlier) Sasuke as seen by fangirls as anything other then the traitor/f-d up bastard he is. Um, hello, abandoning your home to train with pedo guy and trying to stab the people who care about you when you run into them again =/= to sexy. Subcategory of this fandom fail, the section of fandom that has to take Sakure/Hinata etc and throw them under the bus because they get in the way of the SasuNaru action they want to see happened here- because this type of yaoi fangirls warp almost any female character that get in the way of their otp.

This could be partially ship bias, but I tend to see some amounts of Bella/Edward in Buffy/Angel. I always felt like Angel (tall, dark, broody, over preptective, at least minus the sparkles) held Buffy back from standing on her own as kickass individual slayer/etc so people that OTP the two of them.... No. (Not that Buffy's great shakes at working out the whole 'healthy relationship' thing with anyone to start, but she doesn't fall all over herself for any other guy the same way.)

...that was a longer response then I intended ;)

Honestly, I have a little sympathy for this, because I am am so down with roaring rampages of revenge. What makes Sasuke's story unsatisfying is that I know he will escape all consequences of abandoning his home to train with a pedo.

Draco, for that.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Ah, the original Character In Leather Pants.

Bootsnake~!

and for no reason, I just like that name. Give me a pointlessly cool code name back? XD

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I like the call sign Booksnake. It combines two awesome things (boots and snakes) and has a sneaky vibe that fits with a covert cover name.

And for you... Sky Chat.

(It's more adorable than cool, I apologize.)

[fonsetorigo.livejournal.com]

You are the snake that hides in boots. Waiting for some moron to not check properly. >:3

N'awww I like Sky Chat~

[fonsetorigo.livejournal.com]

makes me sound like a pilot~

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

And then I sink my fangs into his heel!

It does! You'd fit right in with Starbuck, Boomer, Racetrack and Apollo!

[fonsetorigo.livejournal.com]

Yesss~

Bahaha. I would oh man oAo I wanted to be a pilot so bad when I was a kid.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Pilots are just epically cool.

There is something about defying the laws of Physics with Physics (and chemistry) itself. <3

Oh, there are so many things that frustrate me about NCIS.

One of them is that while I like Abby out-of-context, as it were, I know that the reason she is allowed to be so special and genius-y is that she's doing so in an area that ISN'T on-site investigating like DiNozzo and Gibbs. The women who DARE to think they can do that are belittled so often it drives me crazy.
