snowflake_challenge before.
o1. Name one of your favourite characters:
You know what, I'm going back to Cain Fury from FMA.
o2. Name one of your favourite villains:
At the moment? Rizel from LastMan.
3 and 4 One actor/actress that you look up to and why:
I, uh, don't look up to celebs much, sorry.
o5. Favourite episode from any show you watch? (Or just an episode you love):
Hey remember that squeeing liveblogging I did last year forsnowflake_challenge about LastMan ep. 8?
o6. Favourite show and why?
Am I going to say LastMan again? Yes I am. You're asking for my personal favourite, not for objectively-the-best and this one hits so many of my buttons... (Ask me for the best show I've watched and the answer will be different.)
o7. If you could live in any fictional universe which one would you live in?
I guess Amestris wouldn't be that bad. I wonder about Star Trek.
o8. Name 3 OTPs:
I don't really do OTPs, I'm more of a multishipper and I will occasionally break up even my favourite pairings just for the sake of angst. But. Seishirou/Subaru from Tokyo Babylon and X. Souma/Kendappa-O from Rg Veda. Touya/Yukito from CardCaptor Sakura. Only CLAMP does unbreakable True Love!and fucked up codependant but still unbreakable love.
o9. One character you have a crush on:
Erm. My love for Newt Scamander is pure platonic adult and totally justified. Same for Theseus Scamander. For Liv Ock it's... a bit less pure and all but. OK. Prince Krell Tarron from 3Below is a baby and I don't feel justified in crushing on him but he's just so cute and so dorky!!
10. One of your favourite fandoms to be in and why?
FullMetal Alchemist. The series is excellent. So many interesting characters, so many possible pairings. I never encountered negativityother than the one I created myself when some clod bashed one of my favourite pairing and demanded I wrote more of hers, that I highly disliked.
11. Describe (insert canon here) HAVE A GUESS in three words.
Muscles, Machine Guns and Monsters!
12. Favourite book:
I just can't choose only one Discworld book so I'd say Good Omens out of habit but maybe The Martian gets a go too.
13. One band that you love?
Uh. I don't listen to bands that much anymore but out of nostalgia I'll go with Les Cowboys Fringants.
14. Favourite cast:
Eddie Redmayne and Callum Turner as the Scamander Brothers won't make up for freaking Johnny Depp as Grindelwald but... almost, and they're perfect as they are.
15. If you were a fictional character in (insert universe here) what would you probably be doing and what life do you think you would have?
Whatever the universe I'd be a bystander, I just hope I won't turn into a victim when shit happens.
16. Who do you think is a misunderstood character?
Hi, I'm a Howard McKenzie stan first and a human being later. He accomplishes the feat of being misunderstood by his own creators who refuse to acknowledge that he's a damn sociopath, and by his haters who call his motivations stupid. He's delusional and they stem from a pathetic place but I refuse to consider them stupid. (Feel free to try and change my mind... or to quiety disengage from the kind of crazy I represent.)
17. Which character do you wish you were siblings/best friends/dating with?
Errr... oh I know, Themis/Yumi and Noumaïos/Numinor form Ulysse 31! because they've both successively covered all three aspects during my fannish years!
18. Which Hogwarts house are you in?
I wish I were in Ravenclaw. But since Newt Scamander came into our lives, maybe going to Hufflepuff would be great too?
19. What are three things you've learned from one of the shows you watch?
Aw shit, all three from one show?
- there are no bad powers, only people using them badly
- a good redemption arc is always possible and demands actual character growth
- being tired of tea is like being tired of breathing
20. If you could be a writer for any show you wish, how might you develop the plot/characters?
Can Catradora and Lapidot be canon, please? I'm sorry, I know that shipping is not the end-all and be-all of shows, and I trust the writers to develop their own characters and plots, so all I can think of is spicing things up a bit.
21. What's one of your favourite quotes from a show you watch?
Why from a show again, why not from a book? Oh right because quoting the entirety of Terry Pratchett's work would lean into the copyright infringment zone.
Percy and Pierre are the superior pair!!Peridork Is One Of Us.
22. Favourite type of AU?
Fork-in-the-Road/For Want of a Nail/Canon Divergence
23. Write a brief headcanon for one of your OTPs:
Yukito totally tops from the bottom. The size difference forces Touya to be the big spoon but he should be the little spoon.
24. What's one show you don't watch but you're still in the fandom?
I'll confess that I love seeing![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
andersandrews gush about Nygmobblepot from Gotham.
25. Why do you love the shows you watch/books you read/fandoms you're in?
Very different things actually, but it boils down to interesting worldbuilding and entrancing scenario for books, and to relatable characters for movies and shows.

Date: 2019-01-21 06:33 am (UTC)Also I feel like I should say, on behalf of my Hogwarts House, that we also have Tonks as an amazing ex-student of Hufflepuff :P
no subject
Date: 2019-01-21 05:43 pm (UTC)That's right! Tonks rocks.
no subject
Date: 2019-01-22 01:24 am (UTC)Also just to be clear, I wasn't saying this in a bad way--I like CLAMP (though CCS and TRC are the only two franchise I ever felt like I could have been part of a fandom for), it's just been ages since I read any or met a fan xD

Date: 2019-01-21 09:32 am (UTC)10. Id say that it's the clod that created the negativity!
16. Stupid, really? Obsessed yes, and over something that may or may not be worth it, but "stupid" is very weak a word, almost childish while all of his actions are (sometime deadly) serious.
22; What's For Want of a Nail??
no subject
Date: 2019-01-21 05:46 pm (UTC)At the time that's what I said too, yes, but they were young, immature, not very educated in netiquette and I could have been better in handling the kerfluffle. (OK I was young and immature too.)
Yep. Some people on Tumblr are... direct and a bit rude when talking about characters they hate. He's an asshole, he's done several unforgivable things, but it was not just For The Evulz.
"Let's change a small detail and see how different the outcome may be".

Date: 2019-01-21 10:38 am (UTC)I might also have a totally platonic double crush on the Scamander brothers. Maybe.
no subject
Date: 2019-01-21 05:50 pm (UTC)I want a Blue Shirt so bad.Buuut... staying safely on a planet not threatened by Klingons or Romulans would still be better, yes.The Scamander brothers are just so precious, I want to wrap both of them in a blanket, offer them tea and tell them everything will be alright. (Alternatively, they can wrap me in a blanket and offer me some tea.)
