answers to this meme:
Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.
edmund for Lizzen
1. when the first cold wind blows down from the north, and he tastes the coming winter on his tongue, he shivers.
2. peter travels into battle once, twice, three times because he's the high king, but each time peter rides into battle, each time he is injured, fear stabs at edmund. he does not want to lose his brother. he has no wish to be high king in his brother's place.
3. when tumnus looks at lucy; when she grows, and the suitors who visit caer paravel are there for lucy, and not just for susan; when she rides into battle, her hair falling to her waist, and their enemies make comment inappropriate for a lady's ears; his hand falls on his sword and he draws, for his sister's honour.
duncan for Lizzen
1. as a child, he wanted to be a warrior. he never had any doubts.
2. he owes his life to the atreides.
3. he wishes he was dead. living and living and reliving is shit.
miss piggy still for Lizzen
1. she loved kermit from first sight.
2. every time she karate chops; every curse she yells and every career she shoots down: she does it for the women who aren't strong enough.
3. she donates ten percent of her earnings to women's organisations. she knows it's not enough, but a woman has to buy clothes and jewellery. she can't always have a frog around to do it for her.
sydney for kirbyfest
1. he loves all of his children, every single one. but jarod most of all, more than his own blood-son. he will never tell michelle, but she knows it anyway.
2. he's sorry for every lie he ever told miss parker, but he doesn't regret any of them.
3. he wishes it had been him, and not jacob.
4. he knows how to cure angelo. he just doesn't think it's a good idea.
5. he fears for his life.
miss parker for cgb
1. she longs for a cigarette, every single fucking day.
2. she speaks five languages fluently.
3. she misses thomas.
4. she spent a number of her college years drinking and shagging, but she doesn't care for that sort of thing now, not really. she just pretends because she can.
5. she's in love with jarod, and she knows it. and she hates it. (her brother knows it, too)
irulan for
flaifire
1. she could have loved feyd.
2. when she watches the twins, she feels love for them: she wants to protect them, to shelter them and to teach them, but she does not pretend, even for a minute, that they need anything from her. they are self-sufficient, and they do not need her, though she wishes they did.
3. when duncan idaho wakes for the third time, he opens his eyes and she is there to greet him with a smile. this is not a coincidence.
ghanima for flaifire
1. she would have killed farad'n.
2. she knows it's wrong, but she loves the feel of her brother's skin.
3. she is more than just a spoil of any man's war.
billy keikeya, for
familyarchives
1. when he was a kid, he wanted to save the world.
2. even though it was the end of the world, even though they were thrown together by fate and circumstance and a lack of anyone else even remotely attractive in the vicinity (starbuck aside, for obvious apollo reasons), when billy looked at dee he saw someone beautiful, someone worthwhile, someone he could really love. it really cut him when, at the end, she was just as flawed as everyone else.
3. he's a cylon, and he's coming back just for you, aj.
stabler, for
cathiexx
1. fuck, but he used to be an awesome wrestler in high school.
2. when they find a little girl, beaten to a pulp or abused until she's dead, olivia opens the door of her apartment and can't even look up at him, and his heart breaks.
3. he didn't leave his wife for olivia.
4. he's done time.
5. he wishes he could own a dog, but he's really shit at looking after things.
birkoff, for
rawles
1. fuck but he's clever.
2. his favourite snack food of all time is strawberry pocky. michael brought it back for him once, years ago before it was available in america, a ridiculous, dangerous gift when birkoff was still young and michael still had a heart, and it bound birkoff to both michael and the japanese snack.
3. he didn't have a twin. he's a cylon, created by section (in conjunction with the centre).
still accepting, if you want them, either in this post or in the original

Date: 2007-05-18 02:23 pm (UTC)Also: Max, Isabel, Michael, and/or Maria.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-05-21 12:23 pm (UTC)1. he knows that he'd have made the best damn king ever, and sometimes he hates his sister for the opportunities that she took away from both of them.
2. he doesn't regret saving liz.
3. on the run, in the van, he yells at michael for driving recklessly and holds liz's hand. later, in dingy motel rooms and even later still, renting apartments and setting down roots again, the last thing he does before he closes his eyes is wonder where his sister is, wonder if tonight she will visit him.
4. it's a good day, the sun bright and no trace of pursuit for weeks. they've settled in, things are going well, and michael's got work as a security guard so they've no need to resort to federal offences. he smiles at liz and rests his hand on her thigh; glances at the magazine shrouding her face and from the back cover, his sister's semi-clad body smiles back at him, a smile he thought she'd never show anyone but him. on liz's thigh, his hand tightens; "ow, max!" she slaps him away with a playful glare, but he doesn't see. he leaves that afternoon.
5. he loves his sister so much, but sometimes he just wants to fucking kill her.
isabel
1. wishes she was human.
2. misses alex more than she can describe, more than words can ever say.
3. she misses her brother.
4. she loves seattle grace.
5. when she poses for tiffani, she knows it's only a matter of time, and when max clambers in through her window, she says, "right on cue," snide teen princess, and she finds that she means it.
michael
1. he loves maria.
2. sometimes, when he thinks about it, he pities tess.
3. he used to wake from dreams, sometimes, images of isabel lingering in his mind, and he'd drop a hand to his boxers. if they were damp, he'd be reassured - just sex dreams, and maybe, just maybe, they meant he was human.
4. he ate a rat once, on a dare. yeah, he's just that classy.
5. when maria starts speaking, starts rabbiting on like secretly she's amy, obsessed with the bullshit that roswell makes you think, he wraps her scarf around her mouth and kisses her breasts and she shuts up so damn fast.
maria
1. she always knew there were fucking aliens in roswell.
2. she sends postcards to her mum, having a great time and wish you were here, because no matter how angry amy will be to receive them, at least she'll know that maria is alive.
3. every morning, as they pile into the van, she thinks about staying behind, letting max and liz go on without them. she never thinks about letting michael go on without her, though.
4. she hangs bells on their doors in the motels, just in case.
5. she loves marshmallows.

Date: 2007-05-18 02:29 pm (UTC)Billy would make the best cylon ever.
How about Lucy and/or Jill from Narnia, if you're feeling it?
(no subject)
Date: 2007-05-21 12:31 pm (UTC)1. lucy loves being queen. she loves riding her horse, her hair flying free behind her. she loves taking tea with tumnus, listening to his pipes and laughing at his stories. she loves dancing with susan's suitors, even when they call her dear girl and step on her toes. most of all, though, she loves walking through caer paravel and being beloved of a nation.
2. when the winds turn cold, she always watches edmund, and is careful not to leave his side. she watches for the flinch, the shiver, and throws her arms around him with unseemly haste; laughs into his shoulder and tickles his sides until he smiles, and she knows he will survive another winter.
3. she longs for aslan to return to them, but scolds herself when she catches herself thinking such thoughts. aslan is not a tame lion, she knows, and he will return in time.
4. she paints her toenails on cold nights when she is bored, cheerful reds and yellows. she paints edmund's, too.
5. she likes to sleep with five duvets piled above her in the winter, the fire roaring, and she thinks it only just warm enough.
jill
1. feels lost surrounded by the old kings and queens of narnia.
2. misses her parents.
3. does not understand aslan.
4. worries aslan will hear her thoughts and discard her from narnia.
5. finds she doesn't care, even if he should.
6. she knows she would miss eustace, though, for what is an adventure through foreign lands without your best friend by your side?

Date: 2007-05-18 03:09 pm (UTC)(no subject)
Date: 2007-05-21 12:43 pm (UTC)1. gurney can never atone for the wrongs he has done, abandoning paul and threatening jessica, but he continues to try every day that he lives.
2. he loves the lady jessica, loves her voice and her deeds, and feels shame.
3. he was a great teacher to paul; knows that duncan taught him more.
jessica atreides
1. jessica misses her husband, misses her son, misses her daughter.
2. she hates that she was never strong enough to be what was needed for her son, for her daughter. she was only ever strong enough for leto, and all she ever did was give him a son.
3. she is afraid of her grandchildren.
4. when she first meets ghanima's children, first hears that ghanima has given birth, she fears what she will see until the moment she sees them.
5. years later, she knows that her great-grandchildren are innocent, not abomination. she wishes she could say the same for her grandchildren, and turns her face away when ghanima nuzzles her brother's cheek.
st alia of the knife
1. she worships her brother in every way that she can.
2. she loved her brother, loves her brother, his hand on her cheek and his skin beneath her fingers, and she hated chani because she knew he would always love his wife more than he would love his sister.
3. she was preborn so that her brother and their mother could live, and she will never forgive them.
4. she loved duncan.
5. she hates that she was abandoned by every person she ever loved. in the end, she was alone, just as she had known she would be.

Loved your Miss Parker and Stabler. Awesome.
See? I'm here in your journal! :)

Date: 2007-05-21 12:56 pm (UTC)1. mcqueen is his hero.
2. he thinks about shane when he's in his bunk, when he's in the showers, when he's alone in his hammerhead (which, inconvenient, but you can't stop your cock), but he knows that in her eyes he's six, and the best he can settle for is a kiss on the forehead and the love of a sister, so he settles for that. he knows that if he gives it time, he can be more than a six year old tank to her.
3. he can't lie, he can't hold his booze, he can't dance, but fuck if he doesn't learn how to play a mean game of hockey.
4. he loves apples.
5. he and west are reassigned to the sixty-third. he doesn't know how mcqueen does it, but the 58's belongings don't get redistributed, they get packed up and moved in with west and cooper, and he's grateful. he sticks their photos on the wall and their patches next to them, and it's not a shrine, it's not, but sometimes he cries and he knows west does too. months later, they're being briefed with their squadron when the door opens and ross comes in, and when ross says just to nathan and cooper, no preamble, 5-8, i have some news, cooper knows what it is, and west starts weeping, and ross leads them to the infirmary and cooper's so proud of himself, because he doesn't start crying until they're standing there, watching shane being prepped for surgery, and paul bleeding, and vanessa hooked up to about a million machines. he cries then, and for the first time in his life it's because he's happy, and it's because his family came back to him.
devon adair
1. will make every sacrifice necessary for her son.
2. doesn't like danziger for a very long time.
3. knows she will die on this planet.
john crichton
1. there's a piece of him that wants to go home, most travelled astronaut, greet his father greet his friends, show off his beautiful alien wife.
2. he hates that he'll never go home.
3. misses d'argo something ridiculous.
4. misses watching jag. he loved that show.
5. wonders what his dad thinks, wonders if his dad thinks about where he's gone.
I'm very proud of you!

Date: 2007-05-18 05:51 pm (UTC)(no subject)
Date: 2007-05-21 01:01 pm (UTC)1. before he was one, he used to think vampires were cool. fuck was he wrong.
2. he knows that danica had creepy, incestuous vampire sex with asher, and that's already pretty gross so he doesn't want to think about if the pomeranians were involved, because, ew.
3. he likes to think he has a crush on abigail. (he's wrong - he's in love with her, but he won't realise that until it's too late)
4. he feels lost for about thirty seconds after blade dies, until he stops being a moron and remembers that there's still plenty of work to be done.
5. loves the feel of the sun on his skin, but he burns ridiculously easily. he never used to, so he blames the ex-vampire thing.

Date: 2007-05-19 04:05 am (UTC)I would like to request Kitty Pryde or Poitr Nikolaievitch Rasputin.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-05-21 01:13 pm (UTC)kitty pryde
1. she's been crushing on piotr for years.
2. she loves flowers falling to the ground, but try as she might, she's never able to watch them fall.
3. her go-to guy, the person she can always trust, is logan. some people think she's crazy, but she knows that logan will never let her down.
4. the first time she kisses piotr, the autumn sun is setting and the attic is sun-drenched, a beautiful, picturesque orangey-yellow, and she kisses him for a good five seconds before he pushes her away. "no, katya" he says, "this is not what you want." "i'll be the judge of that," she snaps back, and he may be strong but he is no match for kitty, who knows what she wants.
5. she hates breakfast in bed.
6. she freefalls through the floor, and it always takes her breath away.
piotr rasputin
1. he draws on everything, on the assignments he hands in and the whiteboard on the fridge, and when he erases them his heart hurts, briefly, for the inconstancy of his skills.
2. when someone hits him, they shake their hand in pain, and he shakes his head for the ringing in his ears.
3. he worries about getting heavier, about falling through the floor and breaking the furniture.
4. sometimes he feels out of place in all these battles.
5. he wishes he was a better musician.
