sit on top of the world

I stole this from [livejournal.com profile] daygloparker here

Top 5 Meme (Fandom Edition):

1. Ask me for a top five list, but it has to be fandom-related. Like, top 5 favorite Jim/Pam moments (don't ask me that, because I don't have any and would have to steal them from Sloane). Top 5... okay, so, I suck at picking examples! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. IT MUST BE FANDOM-RELATED.
2. I will answer you.
3. That's pretty much it. Share this meme!

imma keep it simple: top five pairings. any fandom. ever.

[identity profile] bantha-fodder.livejournal.com 2006-06-26 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Are you talking actors or characters here?

[identity profile] bantha-fodder.livejournal.com 2006-06-26 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

1. Mr Parker decided that not only would his angel become a lean, mean, ruthless bitch, but so should Jarod (except not the bitch bit. For he is a boy). So Jarod too got trained to be mean, and pretend mean stuff, and Sydney disapproved so he secretly tried to teach Jarod to have a conscience and Mr Raines found out and Sydney disappeared! Which sent Jarod over the edge, so he ran away anyway in order to find Sydney, and Miss Parker came back to the Centre to find their precious pretender. CUE THEME MUSIC.

2. The Centre stole their DNA to make awesome intelligent babies! And Jarod finds out and tells Miss P and they steal them away! (most overused Pretender trope ever) (BUT STILL AWESOME)

3. THEY KISS IN ISLAND OF THE HAUNTED. WHICH I HAVE ON MY COMPUTER ADLSKJALSDFDASF I SHOULD SCREENCAP.

4. Lyle is hiding out in Wisteria Lane, undercover because he's a red file too, let's not forget, waiting for Jarod to show himself ala mysterious deaths etc.

5. The world ends just as Parker catches up with Jarod, but she's on her own just this once and they both find it difficult to believe that the world has ended BUT IT HAS and they go on an apocalyptic road trip.

(6. THEY ARE SPIES)

4. Chloe and Lex (they will take over the world) (Smallville)

5. CJ/Toby (The West Wing)

Okay. Top five romantic leads, which is totally different from top five pairings, because it places primacy on the pairing within the context of the show, not within my fevered imaginings (in no particular order):

1. Michael and Nikita (La Femme Nikita)

2. Kara and Lee (BSG) (they are TOTALLY romantic leads. TOTALLY)

3. Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett (Pride and Prejudice)

4. Kermit and Miss Piggy (The Muppets)

5. Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle (DCU/Batman)

1. OMG THEY TOTALLY FIGHT LIKE NINJAS IN AN ALLEY AT SOME POINT, RIGHT?

2. I resisted using this one, too, but. Um. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

3. ZOMG YES I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD

4. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CROSSOVER

5. Um. UM. I have a fic that's half started that sort of sounds a whole lot like this. Except Parker's also... well, she's basically insane.

2. Also, as I have already mentioned earlier, having rewatched "Island of the Haunted" we are once again confronted with the fact that since Mr. Parker, err, isn't a very likely father candidate genetically-speaking, the idea that he and Brigette had a kid? UM. UM. I THINK YOU MIGHT KNOW WHERE MY HEAD IS.

Five times (on the show) that either Lee should've slammed Kara up against something (or vice versa) and kissed/frakked/whatever the crap out of her.

OH MY GOD WHY AREN'T WE WRITING PRETENDER FIC RIGHT NOW?

top five ways lucy saved edmund

[identity profile] bantha-fodder.livejournal.com 2006-06-27 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
1. when he was brought to the camp he was cold, so cold; the endless winter might have been fading, but the witch's chill had penetrated to his bones, and not even aslan's breath could warm him. he wrapped his arms around himself and trudged down the hill, and peter looked at him with such a peter face, and he flinched away from susan but lucy wouldn't be deterred: she wrapped her arms around him and tucked her head under his chin, and when he kissed the top of her hair he felt warm inside.

2. she held the bottle over his lips and allowed a drop to fall. she watched and watched and watched until aslan scolded her, but she saw him blink before she turned away and she knew he would be okay.

3. he thought perhaps he was going mad, king of narnia stuck in a little boy's body. he wore paint on his face because kings of narnia did that, and he wore perfumes on his body because kings of narnia did that, too, and no one ever knew he was only fifteen when he went out because he wasn't, not really, and when he came home she looked at him and her face fell. "oh, edmund," she said, and the next time he took her with him.

4. she held his hand and they jumped through into the painting.

5. he heard a cough in the darkness. "lu?" he asked. "oh, ed," she replied, her voice breathless. "do you know what's going on?" "i have no idea," he replied, "and it's awfully dark." lucy laughed. "i do hope you're not afraid, ed," she said, and he felt her warm hand curl around his. "i just worried about you," he said, and she laughed again.

OH UHM.

1. When she's watching Angelo in Dragon House, and the cure is wearing off and he's playing the piano and it goes from beautiful, amazing music to him barely being able to play twinkle twinkle, and it's so sad and she's so beautiful.

2. jarod and miss parker in the car in island of the haunted, and mr parker looks in at her and parker's look as she looks out the window is so adorable.

3. any moment when she's got a glass of gin in her hand and jarod's on the phone to her.

4. every scene she's in in Gigilo Jarod.

5. When she picks up the origami angel in the pilot.

1. Mr Lyle (they're not really siblings, I'm telling you!)

2. Kara Thrace (it's a one night thing)

3. Michael (from La Femme Nikita)

4. Lex Luthor (TOTALLY HOT)

5. Tommy Tanaka


BUT SHE GETS PAIRED WITH JAROD WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

1. that one time just after college, when she was dating someone else and he was toying with alcoholism.

2. after he resigns (and the president fires him), and she nearly cries when she's saying his name she goes home and he's there and they have sex.

3.my back pages by delightfully eccentric

4. when huck and molly are in high school, it's a week where they're staying with toby and they get home from school and auntie cj's visiting! and they're so very, very excited that it takes almost an hour before they realise that something is wrong, and auntie cj cries because she's left danny and she's so damn upset and later, she stays the night, curled up on the couch with huck and molly and her own little baby (who is not such a baby any more). and toby and cj don't get together then, but it helps, and then they're together into their dotage (which has been this whole time, anyway, because they're practically dotty already)

5. one day cj is president, and as soon as her terms are over, the first day that she's not the president any longer, he turns up on her doorstep. he says, "i'm sorry," and she's like, "that's sixteen years too late, tobius," and kisses him anyway.

this is the fangirl speaking, because i actually think all the scenes in the series worked fine without the kissing the frak out of her. there are other things i'd change about the series, first.

1. KOBOL'S LAST GLEAMING

2. COLONIAL DAY

3. home part two

4. whenever it is that they show kara deciding to marry anders and actually marrying him

5. this is not so much kissing the frak out of her, but when she makes it home in the raider, and she's covered in goop and laid up with her broken leg, he should visit her and smile at her and be like, glad you're home

did you ever read my Pretender AU? Of course, it might have been just that you thought it was TERRIBLE, but I thought the question beared asking.

I thought I hadn't - but I just checked it again, and yes, I did. I must have just gotten way-laid before commenting. It certainly wasn't terrible. It was quite likeable - and you know, it's always a pleasure to read your Miss Parker. But I think the scenario just seemed to go over my head. I mean - I get that they were spies, but why? I felt like there was something I was supposed to get, but didn't. As an AU for the Pretender gang, I guess it just didn't appeal to me. I like them better in the fleet. *g*

Which brings us back to "what makes a great crossover," I think. A crossover takes the characters we know and puts them in a new situation, but an AU changes important things about them - their background or their decisions or something that's central to who they are, and so they can never be those exact characters that we love. I suppose that's why I like AUs, but I LOVE crossovers.

You could be right... SGA is rife with AUs. Some of them work, a lot of them don't. And all too often I think, this is a good story but these aren't the characters I fell in love with.

I think your Miss P worked in that scenario - but Jarod loses something of his wide-eyed innocence when he's working for the government. I don't know... Curious.

And are we on for Wednesday? *g*

We are, yes! You must tell me what time is good - I usually finish training at five, so anytime after that.
