F!S Anon Meme (the Tenth?)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it!

Re: Wank that never made it to F!S

[fingalsanteater]

he's definitely the sort of character you like from behind the safety of the screen

Exactly. People don't understand that you can like a charcater and not condone their actions. And, liking a character doesn't mean you trivialize real world issues like genocide, for example. (That was part of the wank; that liking Londo meant you were a bad person because you condoned real world genocide. Like we can't tell fiction from real life...)

I don't think G'Kar ever wanted to care for Londo, but past a certain point there was simply so much history and so many moments of stark understanding and so much common ground between them and no-one else that he couldn't quite help it.

I love that their relationship is the most emotionally intimate of any of the characters in the show, in all the ways you described. (At least, of what's shown on screen. I'm sure John and Delenn are as intimate by virtue of being married for 20 years.) Londo and G'Kar are bound together, as you've said, by their shared experiences, shared destines and commonalities gained through strife.

And, that quote is perfect, wow.
