Characters you have complicated feelings about

[(Anonymous)]

What are yours, and what are your feelings towards them?

Re: Characters you have complicated feelings about

Bucky Barnes

When I watch the films I LOVE him. He's not my favorite, but I enjoy his role and character.

In some fics, he's great too.

But in SO MANY FICS and MUCH of fandom, I just find him irritating. It's one of those things where I have to regularly re-watch the movie to remind myself of why I liked him in the first place.

Gandalf and Galadriel

For Gandalf, he's really manipulative at times. I mean, he's doing it for the right reasons but I dislike how he meddles in the affairs of Men, and he's always morally right. He's willing to sacrifice pretty much anything to achieve his ends. But his path does lead to the end of Sauron and he does seem upset a few times by endangering the Hobbits. I guess it's just not enough. It's hard to see if he really can see humans and hobbits (short-lived creatures) as anything but pawns or charming toys. I have this sense that he wants to end Sauron more so he can go back to Valinor than anything else.

For Galadriel, I feel like I should like her more than I actually do, and I have a hard time articulating why. I want to support a great female character but I guess I dislike the way that everyone who meets her in LOTR says you can't speak evil of her, she's so great, you don't know what you're saying Eomer, etc. And reading more of her back-history doesn't help; I still feel ambivalent about her. She just rubs me the wrong way but I wish I did like her.

Adam Parrish in the Raven Cycle. He's SO frustrating and I get that part of that is intentional, that we can't figure out Adam because he can't figure out himself (and from what MS has said, we're also supposed to think he can be an asshole, so that's good), but I like him so much in some moments and just cannot stand him in others, and I would really like to settle on an emotion.

Hermione Granger

She's a fascinating, complicated character with a lot of depth but all of the things I find interesting about her get erased by most of fandom to the point where I cringe whenever people start gushing about her and her wonderful role-model ways.

Like, yes she's super smart, and clever, and passionate, and she works damn hard for what she believes in. She's a very good friend, if she's not fighting with you. But she's also ruthless, controlling, overbearing, judgmental and unforgiving.

I enjoy her role in the books (I didn't like the movies), but the way fandom treats her just makes her so unpalatable to me.

Eye of the Tiger is (un)surprisingly effective for me.

What juggernaut pairings do you ship?

[(Anonymous)]

^^

MMORPGS

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone play? If so, what?

I'm just starting the free trial of Final Fantasy XIV. I'm kind of addicted, three days into it, and am trying to convince myself I shouldn't shell out the money for it but I think I will. I really hate the idea of subscription fees, but bleh. (Anyone else play?)

Fanvid recs!

[elaminator]

It's that time again: put the title of the fandom you're rec'ing and/or requesting in the subject.

Today I learned what Jancum is.

[(Anonymous)]

WHY?!?

Who thought to do that?

How do you move forward, FS?

[(Anonymous)]

...the first one what starts singing "Let it Go" help me G-d...

No, so, seriously, when you are majorly stuck and trying to get unstuck, what do you do?

New music?

[(Anonymous)]

What new music have you discovered?

Was/is it just me...

[(Anonymous)]

Or did fandom, or LJ fandom at least, go through a musical phase between, say, 2004 and 2007?

It just seems to me everyone on LJ loved musicals and Broadway. But that might also just be because RENT and Wicked were so huge. Or I had a different flist.

Are there any AO3 tags that will make you refuse to read a fic?

Intrusive thoughts?

[(Anonymous)]

Anybody have these?

Whenever I see a blender or food processor running I think about sticking my hand or face in there. It makes me cringe but I just can't stop doing it.

Sex Thread?

[(Anonymous)]

Its been a while since we have had a general sex talk thread, at least that I have seen? So lets talk sex F!S. Advice, stories, rants, bragging, whatever. Lets talk about sex, baby.

Favorite nonshippy dynamics

[(Anonymous)]

Because while trying to figure out a way to contribute to the ship threads of late, I realized that I don't really have strong feelings about any romantic ships, but I have lots of friendships and character dynamics that I love.

For instance: I love Scott and Stiles and the way Stilinski and Melissa are with both of them. (I do ship Stilinski/Melissa, though). I love Joe and Barry on The Flash and Bruce and Alfred on Gotham. Mac and Fitz, Skye and Trip, and Skye and Coulson on Agents of SHIELD (I kind of ship Meelinda/Coulson, but mostly love their friendship, too).

SO, most of MY immediate ones are clearly based on a familial -- usually parental -- dynamic. But what are some of y'alls nonromantic/sexual ships?
