killabeezDay 8, for resonant: Some characters you love as characters and couldn't bear to spend five minutes with if they were real people?
This was surprisingly difficult for me. I kind of distinguish between villains that I love as villains (Kronos, Thrawn, [12 Monkeys character redacted], Lilah Morgan), villains I find genuinely lovable and possibly redeemable (Crowley, Catra), and characters I genuinely love, but wouldn't want to be around even for five minutes.
In the last category...
Boyd Crowder (Justified)
I genuinely love him, and can see the tragic aspect of the man he became, but wouldn't want to be around him for even five minutes, because a) likelihood of getting shot, high, and b) welll...everything else. Outside of those particular stories I read guiltily, I don't actually believe he's redeemable.
Deacon (12 Monkeys)
I'm already starting to see a pattern, here. The level of violence and cynicism these guys bring to the party is just too much for lil ol me. Too stressful. But I love him! In the right circumstances, I would be cool with hanging out with Deacon, but the likelihood of those circumstances seems low.
Sonny Steelgrave (Wiseguy)
See above! But I wouldn't mind being in the same room as him as an unnoticed observer. :) Would be good for the entertainment value. (I thought Al Swearengen would fit in this category, too...although, actually, I would probably enjoy meeting him.)
Charles Vane (Black Sails)
Yup, a definite pattern. Although...hm. Okay, I can think of one way I would like to spend five minutes with him.
Angel (Angel)
What would we talk about? We would both be SUPER awkward.
Most of my fandoms, I love them all too much for this list! Would I be embarrassingly tongue-tied around most of them? Absolutely. Would I be nervous around Hannibal Lecter? Yes. But it would be worth it.
If you haven't already, please pick a day and ask me anything you like. ♥

Date: 2022-12-09 02:44 am (UTC)This was a great question, because if I were to show my work, I had an AMAZING time imagining spending 5 minutes (or more) with many of my favorite characters. Markus was one of those on my, "is he more socially awkward than me?" lists, but I quickly decided we are more alike than not, and we would have a fantastic time talking WAY too much about nerdy theoretical/philosophical things no one else cares about. And also, I would love to just give him a hug for 5 minutes.
I love Angel, but omg, that five minutes would be PAINFUL.
