5: Top 3 romantic relationships between characters
Alright, asking the big questions. Let’s go.
Jack and Kate from Lost are forever my favorite ship. Their development is so amazing and the way we got to watch them go on this journey from complete strangers to epic love was amazing. They were complete soulmates and made for each other.
Jake and Amy from Brooklyn Nine Nine is probably my favorite ship on TV right now. I love how they’ve been written, no bullshit jealousy from either side. They’re best friends falling in love, and that’s my favorite thing about them.
Roslin and Adama from Battlestar Galactica. The president and the admiral. It doesn’t get much better than these two. They went from disliking each other, to not trusting each other, to uneasy trust, to complete and total trust, to extraordinary love. Now that’s amazing.
10: Top 3 child characters
Now child characters are tough. This is hard.
Aang from Avatar the Last Airbender. I guess it’s a show about kids, but he’s so amazing. The weight of the world was put on his shoulders when he was twelve years old. He didn’t want it. He ran because he was scared. But he ended up accepting his destiny and saving the world.
Alexis Castle from Castle. I suppose she’s not really a child anymore, but she was at the beginning. She was the biggest sweetheart ever. For real, she made me want to have kids, because if I could have a daughter as perfect as her, it would be worth it. She brilliant, kind, and loving.
Arya Stark from Game of Thrones. Wow it’s been tough to watch her innocence get destroyed, but also amazing. She’s this little girl put in the most cruel situations possible, and yet it hasn’t broken her. She keeps going through all of it.
I feel like I do this a lot, but I’m gonna pick on the second chapter of Of Monkeys and Margaritas again. I really like the first part, but I kinda wish I hadn’t bothered with the second chapter at all.
8. Favorite plot point/chapter/moment?
ugh. blarg. um. ok, do I want to choose something romantic or humorous? oh, you know what, I’m gonna go with neither. I think one of my favorite scenes I’ve written is the very end of chapter four of Drive Me Crazy - when Jemma kisses Fitz because she wants to.
Jemma curled over on herself, leaning on the door, and covered her face with her hands. What is wrong with me? She stood up sharply, took a deep, shaky breath, and then strode over to her desk to retrieve a large, ratty book from the bottom drawer.
Still in her dress, Jemma sat on the floor cross-legged, hitching the hem up around her knees, and opened her first chemistry textbook to chapter six, her favorite. It described the first law of thermodynamics, how no energy in the universe is created and none is destroyed, and she’d read it so many times by this point that she had it memorized. Her father had let her buy the textbook when she was seven and quite uninterested in any of the other children’s books, and she always re-read it when she’d reached a problem to which she could see no solution.
Jemma repeated the words to herself, over and over again, until she fell asleep on the floor in her cocktail dress and dreamed about the impending gala and the engineer she wasn’t supposed to love. (x)
not sure why, but I’m still really fond of that moment. I don’t think the writing is particularly good or one of my better written scenes, but - I still get this sad sort of flutter in my stomach when I think of it. :-)
9. Favorite character to write?
you know what, I really love writing Skye. obviously I seriously enjoy writing both of FitzSimmons, considering they make up the majority of the POVs in my fic, but she’s just so much fun to write! she has this sharp sort of irreverence that I find really interesting, and the darker edge of her humor post-season 1 really appeals to me.
10. Favorite line or lines of dialogue that you’ve written
*whines indistinctly* uhhhhhhhhhhhh ok, I’m gonna cop out and give two answers, because I can’t decide between emotional/humorous.
the first one from Wait Out the Sun, chapter 8, popped into my head since things like this are sort of being talked about in the fandom this week
I’m very angry with you right now, Fitz, so I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t talk.”
Her words felt like a slap in the face, and he eased off the gas a little in dismay. “What?”
“You jumped in front of me,” Jemma snapped, her voice brittle as she continued to stare out the windshield. “To take that shot. You jumped in front of me.”
Fitz let his mouth drop open, completely incredulous that this was why she was angry. “Excuse me for trying – and succeeding, might I add – to protect you!”
She turned to him, finally, shifting all the way around so that she could lean one hand against the dashboard. “You don’t get to decide that for me, Fitz! You don’t get to just try to sacrifice yourself and then pretend like it was nothing!” When he nearly let the car drift into another lane because he was staring at her, he made the decision to pull over to the shoulder of the road. The second that the car was stopped, she started pummeling his right arm, not as hard as he knew she could but also not especially gently, either. “You could have died! You could have died and I couldn’t have done anything about it!”
He grabbed her hands before she could continue to hit him and forced her wrists together, effectively getting her to cease although she struggled indignantly against his hold. “Hey, hey – I’m not dead, though, look, I’m right here,” he said, voice low and as soothing as he could make it, angling his head to try to make eye contact. As he gazed back at her, her breathing gradually slowed, coming back from the brink of hysteria. After a few moments, he loosened his grip on her wrists, hoping that he hadn’t hurt her. “And, Jemma, if you really want to talk about sacrificing yourself for someone else, I have a few examples I could bring up…”
At that, she yanked her arms away and folded herself fully onto the passenger seat as far from him as she could get, pressing her back against the door and clutching her knees to her chest. “That’s different. I was saving multiple people – yours was just saving me. It isn’t worth it.”
The sound that escaped Fitz’s mouth then was dark and flat, unable to keep himself from laughing at the very idea that he wouldn’t give everything up for her alone. As if he would even have to think about it. “For who?” (x)
this second one is an example of why I like writing Skye (and Trip, for that matter), from Matchmaking Misadventures: Skye’s the Limit:
Mentally reminding herself that this was really for Simmons’ own good, Skye forced a boisterous laugh. “Guess I didn’t care that much about control mechanisms after all!” She lightly punched Fitz in the arm, and then grimaced at herself. What was she, eight years old? “I’m, uh, gonna go tell Trip about that… with the receiver, thing.” Then she clicked her tongue and made snap-finger-guns before she turned around and headed towards Trip. Smooth, she thought to herself. She should definitely not be allowed to do any kind of matchmaking while drinking, because then things like snap-finger-guns happened and all she wanted to do was go bang her head against the glass surface of the bar.
Luckily May had disappeared, so Skye at least didn’t have to worry about having that conversation. She dug her nails into Trip’s forearm and spoke through gritted teeth. “Was that as painful to watch as it was to experience?”
“The finger guns were a nice touch.”
“Okay, you’re gonna have to do me a solid and strap me into a parachute so that I can jump out of the plane and pretend like this never happened.” (x)
For the character thing: Captain Ray Holt (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
Why I like them: His humor is some of my favorite on the show, as dry as can be. I think he's arguably the funniest character. It's also great how he worked up the ranks. He's a gay, black police officer. It doesn't get more difficult than that. But he worked hard, became the best, and got his position as captain. I love him for that.
Why I don’t: His flaws were highlighted in the episode when he was in a bad mood. He's very proud, he didn't tell his husband he was STABBED. That's not good.
Favorite episode (scene if movie): I think Boyle-Linetti Wedding. He was so sweet writing his speech, and then looking at Kevin during the wedding. I died.
Favorite season/movie: I'm really loving him in season 2. I feel like he's opened up a lot more.
Favorite line: "You're gonna have to try a little harder if you're trying to scare me. I've been an openly gay cop since 1987 so you're not the first superior officer to threaten me. Do you know how I'm still standing here? It's because I do my job, and I do it right." as Jake said, DAMN, SON. I love that scene.
Favorite outfit: He looks boss in his captain's uniform.
OTP: Kevin! They're so adorable.
Brotp: I think Terry. I love their scenes. But also Jake.
Head Canon: don't really have one.
Unpopular opinion: doesn't everyone love Holt?
A wish: I'm REALLY hoping he and Kevin renew their vows, they seemed to be hinting at that.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: For him and Kevin to get divorced! That would break my heart!
5 words to best describe them: Smart, hard-working, strong, determined, loyal.
I've been thinking about this for a while and I cannot think of the best dream I've ever had, although I occasionally dream that I'm dating Tom Hiddleston and those dreams are pretty awesome. I will, however, talk about the most vivid dream I can remember right now. Once, I dreamed that I was wrongfully accused of a crime in China in the 1960s and I was sentenced to years in a Chinese labor camp. While there, I made a friend and he and I made a plan to escape. We collected food we could keep on our pockets (I had a few potatoes) and make makeshift weapons, then one night we climbed the fence and we're making our way down an embankment to our freedom. However, we got caught and right before they were about to shoot us, I woke up.
31: Talk about what you think death is like.
I really want to believe there is a heaven that everyone who is a decent person, no matter what God or lack of God they believe in goes to. I think death is peaceful. I imagine being like falling asleep for a long needed rest. I like to think that in the moment between being alive and dying, everything becomes clear. You know why we are here, you can see how everything in the universe works together and depends on each other
What was the last movie you saw in theaters and what did you think of it?
Annie:’) I didn’t mind it, the actors and singers were amazing, but it didn’t seem like a musical too me all of the time? Some parts were well done but some just seemed like they were shooting a music video and not a musical, but I’ve never been much of an Annie fan tbh :’)
Five things: Last movie you saw in theaters? First movie you saw in theaters? Worst movie you've ever seen? Movie you wish would get a sequel? Movie you wish would get a remake?
1) Last movie I saw in theaters was Jupiter Ascending!
2) I actually have no idea what the first movie I saw in theater was :/ I will have to ask my parents some time.
3) The worst movie I've ever seen? Ummmm. This is hard. I don't know why I'm blanking on this. I'm sorry :(
4) I tend to not like sequels, but I just watched Jupiter Ascending and I would love a sequel that deals with all the unresolved plot from it (and kind of fixes the plot from it too :/)
5) I will probably get a lot of hate for it, but I really wish the Harry Potter series got a remake. I would like to keep the actors and such, but follow a lot of the things from the books closer. (One of my biggest frustrations was how Ron was done and Ginny and I would like that fixed so much.)
Inbox me 5 things you want to know about me!
(Sorry I didn't mean to answer these so poorly - I just honestly wasn't sure what to say for a lot of them.)
