So the first order of business is that Kingsman has taken over my brain a little bit.  I would have mentioned it earlier but I haven't been even this articulate about it previously.  Anyway, there's going to be fic.  So much fic.  Too much fic.

I've also just started watching Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.  It's a fun show, especially for someone as sick and tired of grimdark as I am at the moment.  I'm only two episodes in, but already all the women protecting other women is making me really happy.

Anyway, while that's happening to me, why don't I do another fandom meme?

I got this one from [livejournal.com profile] megan_moonlight:

(I haven't seen the most recent season yet, so bear that in mind)

1) Favorite character: Felicity
2) Least Favorite character: Laurel (I don't hate her or anything, but she's definitely my least favorite)
3) 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): I like Oliver/Felictiy and Oliver/Diggle and maybe Oliver/Felicity/Diggle. I like Oliver/Slade too. I don't think I can get to five, though, sorry.
4) Character I find most attractive: Slade
5) Character I like to read/write as an asexual: Hmm. I haven't read a lot of fic for this fandom, but I would love Shado or maybe Slade as asexual. Imagine how much better everything on island (and everything after) would have been if they were just all bros instead of that forced love triangle.
6) Character I would be best friends with: Felicity
7) A random thought: I love how every actor in this show pretty much is from some other sci-fi show. It's awesome to recognize so many people.
8) An unpopular opinion: I'm not too active in this fandom, so I don't know what is and isn't an unpopular opinion.
9) My canon OTP: Oliver/Felicity is canon, right? I don't know what's going on lately.
10) Non-canon OTP: Oliver/Diggle I guess.
11) Most badass character: Sara
12) Pairing I am not a fan of: Oliver/Laurel
13) Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Shado. She was awesome S1 and I don't get why in S2 she suddenly existed only to create tension and manpain (see remarks about forced love triangle).
14) Favourite friendship: It's not quite a friendship, but I love Diggle and Deadshot's dynamic.
15) Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: No one, really.

Thanks!

So agree on Felicity, Sara, and Shado. And I love Diggle-Deadshot's dynamic too.

So right on that misguided love triangle :( much wasted potential

Can I choose more than one? (I've read your list and I ended up wanting to ask about a half of them :P)
Discworld, Due South, OITNB, Star Trek: TNG (though if you prefer doing only one of them, that would be fine, too).

Discworld

1) Favorite character: Granny Weatherwax
2) Least Favorite character: I've really forgotten everyone I didn't like in this series
3) 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Vetinari/Vimes (but low key because I like Vimes and Sibyl a lot too and the fic isn't always good about that)
4) Character I find most attractive: I've always imagined Susan as very pretty, and she definitely is in the Hogfather movie
5) Character I like to read/write as an asexual: Granny. That's pretty much canon, though, isn't it?
6) Character I would be best friends with: I'm really not sure.
7) A random thought: I love it when characters who are typically from one set of novels (like the night watch characters) appear in the other ones (like the witches books).
8) An unpopular opinion: I really don't know.
9) My canon OTP: Vimes/Sibyl
10) Non-canon OTP: Vimes/Vetinari (again, it's low key)
11) Most badass character: Granny
12) Pairing I am not a fan of: I can't think of one.
13) Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Never. No screw-ups
14) Favourite friendship: Granny and Nanny Ogg
15) Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Somebody at the Unseen University, just because it would be cool to hang out there.

Due South

1) Favorite character: Fraser
2) Least Favorite character: Dewey?
3) 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Fraser/RayK, maybe Fraser/RayK/RayV, and that's about it
4) Character I find most attractive: Inspector Thatcher
5) Character I like to read/write as an asexual: Inspector Thatcher, I think. I've never seen it, but it would be cool.
6) Character I would be best friends with: Elaine
7) A random thought: I'm kind missing this show right now. I may watch some.
8) An unpopular opinion: I don't think I really have one.
9) My canon OTP: I don't really have one.
10) Non-canon OTP: Fraser/RayK
11) Most badass character: Hmm. I honestly don't know.
12) Pairing I am not a fan of: Fraser/Inspector Thatcher
13) Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I feel good about most of the characters. I would have liked Elaine to stay, but I enjoyed the plot line of Frannie taking her job.

15) Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Sometimes I want to take care of Turnbull and protect him from the world.

Yay for Fraser/RayK/RayV <3333
I do have some ships in this fandom, but I mostly stick to F/K/V.

I would love to read some fics about asexual Inspector Thatcher, too. I agree, it would be so cool!

I do re-watch random DS episodes a lot when I find myself missing the show.

And I agree about Fraser/Inspector Thatcher and protecting Turnbull.

DS is one of my pick-me-up shows.

OITNB

(I've only seen maybe half of the recent season. I heard a spoiler for what happens and I kind of don't want to see it happen, so I'm stalled)

1) Favorite character: Poussey
2) Least Favorite character: Healy
3) 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): I mainly ship Poussey and Sophia with happiness and that's about it.
4) Character I find most attractive: Sofia
5) Character I like to read/write as an asexual: I can't really think of anyone.
6) Character I would be best friends with: probably Poussey again.
7) A random thought: I really loved the Mother's Day episode.
8) An unpopular opinion: I don't care for Alex much, but everyone I know fannishly doesn't either, so it's probably not that rare of an opinion.
9) My canon OTP: Don't really have one.
10) Non-canon OTP: Same as above.
11) Most badass character: Maybe Red?
12) Pairing I am not a fan of: It's not a pairing as such, but I hate how Piper's relationships are handled. She's bi. They should buck up and say that.
13) Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): See my remarks about not wanting to go forward, and also about Piper's orientation.
14) Favourite friendship: Boo and Pennsatucky. They've actually developed a really interesting dynamic
15) Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Nobody really

Star Trek TNG

1) Favorite character: Guinan
2) Least Favorite character: Riker
3) 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): I don't ship much for this show. I can see Geordi/Data under some circumstances, and Picard/Q has it's attractions, but that's about it.
4) Character I find most attractive: Deanna
5) Character I like to read/write as an asexual: Maybe Barclay? I have a lot of feelings about Barclay in general, and that would be a cool element to add.
6) Character I would be best friends with: Maybe we wouldn't be best friends, but I'd like to hang out with Data.
7) A random thought: Uh... can't think of one.
8) An unpopular opinion: It's not one of my favorite Star Treks? I don't dislike it, I'd just rate it below Voyager and DS9, whereas I know some people think it's one of the best.
9) My canon OTP: Don't really have one.
10) Non-canon OTP: Same
11) Most badass character: Worf
12) Pairing I am not a fan of: I always kind of thought Deanna deserved better than Riker
13) Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Tasha. What happened to her passed me up when this was on air. Just... why? Also Barclay and Lwaxanna, if only that I thought both of them were treated better as characters on the other shows they appeared in (Voyager and DS9) than they were in TNG.
14) Favourite friendship: Ro and Guinan. It could have had more screentime, but I loved what we saw.
15) Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Guinan again. She's so cool.

I would have a difficult time picking favourite OITNB character. There are so many!
Poussey is definitely among them. She's so amazing! I also love Sophia and Suzanne. And Nicky, Boo, Red and Taystee.

Red is definitely badass :D And I like the friendship between Boo and Pennsatucky, too.

I also don't ship much in ST:TNG :)

Hanging out with Data would have been a part of my list as well. Well, with him and Geordi, really.

From: [identity profile] potentiality-26.livejournal.com
I have a hard time picking a favorite too, so I definitely agree- but Poussey just makes me really happy so I normally go with her. Agree on all the favs you listed, though.

Hanging out Geordi and Data would be great!

I love Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries! I discovered it a little while ago and immediately was drawn in. It's so fun and fascinating, and yes, all the women are amazing. Phryne in particular is phenomenal. And I want her entire wardrobe. I have a feeling that you're going to really enjoy the rest of the season/show.

As for the meme: Orphan Black and The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings.

Date: 2015-07-11 03:30 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] potentiality-26.livejournal.com
Yeah, Phryne is great. Again, I've only seen the two episodes, but she's already such a vibrant character.

Orphan Black

(I haven't seen the most recent season yet, so bear that in mind)

1) Favorite character: Alison
2) Least Favorite character: Paul probably, though he grew on me at one point
3) 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Cosima/Delphine, Art/Felix, otherwise I don't ship much in this fandom
4) Character I find most attractive: Sarah? (or all the clones, obviously, but I like Sarah's style the most)
5) Character I like to read/write as an asexual: No one really. I don't read much fic in this fandom. I'd be interested to know who people headcanon that way though.
6) Character I would be best friends with: Cosima maybe
7) A random thought: This show is like a lesson in how amazing costuming and makeup can be. Like obviously Tatiana Maslany is an amazing actress, but how different the clones look just in terms of a screenshot is mind-blowing.
8) An unpopular opinion: I really don't know what constitutes an unpopular opinion in this fandom.
9) My canon OTP: Cosima/Delphine
10) Non-canon OTP: Art/Felix
11) Most badass character: Helena
12) Pairing I am not a fan of: Sarah/Paul? The show did it's best to make it less creepy, but it was still kinda creepy.
13) Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I've been pretty happy with everything I've seen so far.
14) Favourite friendship: Alison and Felix. That's my favorite dynamic on the show.
15) Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Not so much.

The Hobbit/LOTR

1) Favorite character: Tauriel (although this is partially protectiveness because of the hate she gets), Faramir
2) Least Favorite character: Denathor? Ugh.
3) 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Thorin/Bilbo, Legolas/Gimli, Ewoyn/Faramir, Kili/Tauriel, Fili/Kili and/or Fili/Kili/Tauriel
4) Character I find most attractive: Arwen
5) Character I like to read/write as an asexual: Maybe Frodo? I've never been a huge fan and it would make his character more interesting to me.
6) Character I would be best friends with: Ori maybe
7) A random thought: It's been such a long time since I saw LOTR. I should retwatch but I haven't yet so this tends more toward the Hobbit. Sorry.
8) An unpopular opinion: The Tauriel love, probably
9) My canon OTP: Ewoyn/Framir
10) Non-canon OTP: Thorin/Bilbo
11) Most badass character: Galadriel
12) Pairing I am not a fan of: the Legolas/Tauriel that was added for unnecessary drama
13) Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I've heard that the aforementioned unnecessary love triangle got shoe-horned in after they'd promised Evangeline Lily it wouldn't happen? That's not cool. Tauriel would have been better off without it, but I love her anyway.
14) Favourite friendship: Thorin and Dwalin
15) Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Elrond

Doctor Who:

1) Favorite character: Rory maybe? I like a lot of DW characters.
2) Least Favorite character: There's so much DW that it's easy to forget characters I don't like completely, so I really don't know.
3) 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Doctor/Master (especially Eight/Jacobi!Master, although any version works for me), Amy/Rory, Eleven/River, Canton Delaware/his boyfriend, maybe Nine/Jack/Rose
4) Character I find most attractive: Eight, Amy
5) Character I like to read/write as an asexual: Really can't think of one, although I would be interested to know who people do headcanon that way.
6) Character I would be best friends with: maybe Martha?
7) A random thought: Haven't seen the new trailers yet. I have to get on that.
8) An unpopular opinion: Can't think of one
9) My canon OTP: Canton/his boyfriend forever
10) Non-canon OTP: Nine/Jack/Rose maybe, but I wouldn't call it on OTP (I'm just not an OTP person), I can just see it.
11) Most badass character: The Doctor
12) Pairing I am not a fan of: Rose/Mickey, although not because I dislike it necessarily, I just didn't like how the whole love triangle or whatever was handled.
13) Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I really didn't like the random Martha/Mickey just tacked on to the end of an episode like it was. I have no problem with them getting together, I just would have thought those characters deserved better than to get randomly thrown at each other when they'd hardly met before.
14) Favourite friendship: Ten and Donna
15) Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: River

Sherlock

1) Favorite character: Mycroft
2) Least Favorite character: I don't know. It would have been Anderson, but I kind of liked him in S3.
3) 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Mycroft/pretty much anyone, John/Sherlock
4) Character I find most attractive: Irene
5) Character I like to read/write as an asexual: I've seen some good fics with Mycroft, Sherlock, or both as asexual.
6) Character I would be best friends with: Molly, maybe? She just needs somebody to be nice to her. I'm nice.
7) A random thought: I'm still deciding how I feel about the Christmas special or whatever it is, but I'm often that way with new Sherlock. I have to see it to get pumped.
8) An unpopular opinion: I feel like people hate Mary? I don't. I like Mary.
9) My canon OTP: John/Mary, I guess.
10) Non-canon OTP: All the pairings I really like aren't canon, and I don't have a single OTP. I'm not an OTP person. Maybe my favorite is Mycroft/Lestrade?
11) Most badass character: Mycroft lol
12) Pairing I am not a fan of: Sherlock/Molly? It always makes me sad that she's set up to have feelings for someone she would clearly never be happy with.
13) Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I like Irene in the show, but she's nowhere near as cool as ACD Irene, which makes me sad.
14) Favourite friendship: Lestrade and Sally, sort of. It has more potential than screentime, but I've read some great fic.
15) Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Mrs. Hudson.
