Forever memes.

[balsamandash]

Today has been A Day. I thought I was gonna have actual stuff to say at one point, and then it was A Day, and I am just too drained. I am staring at a twitch stream and failing to make myself do things.

I am not tired enough to sleep, though, and I'm rambly lately, so have another meme? I don't know guys. Memes are all I got.

Give a fandom, I will tell you:
1. the character I least understand
2. interactions I enjoyed the most
3. the character who scares me the most
4. the character who is most like me
5. hottest looks character look I'm gonna come up empty on this one basically every time, so instead, how about a character I'd have liked to see more of
6. one thing I dislike about my fave character
7. one thing I like about my hated character
8. a quote or scene that haunts me
9. a character I wish died but didn’t
10. my ship that never sailed

1. the character I least understand
Dammit Edgar, why are you such an ass.
Also I kind of feel like I just don't... get Rachel, but I can't tell you why or even what I mean by that, really.

2. interactions I enjoyed the most
YOU'RE ALL I WANT AND YOU'RE ALL I NEED AND YOU'RE ALL I HOPE AND YOU'RE ALL I DREAM AND I LOVE YOU LOVE YOU SO FAR GONE
It is the best part of the trilogy honestly I just love it so much.

Okay but interactions specifically: Lloyd and anyone, and also Dolls' narrator watching sadly from the sidelines; Priscilla and Jasper; and John and Jackie talk so briefly but god I love them, as well as Jackie and Thomas talking not-quite-at each other.

3. the character who scares me the most
Honestly Edgar is kind of genuinely creepy, like, sure, let's fuck over a bunch of lives and afterlives to get back the girl who dumped me! I don't think anyone's really SCARY exactly, but.

4. the character who is most like me
I am, of course, whoever the story needs me to be. And any time a voice is narrating your life, it's me.
... No, I'm not really anything like Lloyd. Uh. Is it just weirdly self-affirming if I say Priscilla? Because the "super sheltered" thing kind of speaks to me. Actually, probably Connor? I feel like Connor is closer. Or maybe act three Lee.

5. a character I'd have liked to see more of
NARRATOR. LLOYD. I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM. IS THE NARRATOR SECRETLY ACTUALLY THERE? ANSWERS, SHAPERA. GIVE THEM TO ME.
Ahem.
Also Adrian. I understand why we get so little Adrian, so that the SURPRISE GAY is an actual reveal, but I really want to know more about Adrian. And on a purely character-favorite level, fuck, I love Byron, and I want to loudly announce-sing all his speeches, and I want him to have more of them. XD

6. one thing I dislike about my fave character
LLOYD WHY ARE YOU SUCH A CREEPER -- actually I love that you're such a creeper. *shrugs* It's also really hard to pick a favorite. Uh. I don't know man.

7. one thing I like about my hated character
MY FRIENDS STEP RIGHT UP, I HAVE BROUGHT YOU A THING, WHY IT'S A MIRACLE PROCESS YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE--
Basically Edgar's pitches are almost as fun to sing as Byron's political speeches.

8. a quote or scene that haunts me
God there are so many. If I had to pick one per show --

Dolls: Annabel's Lament, with circles never stop themselves a close second. (Also: Jasper wailing please, my angel in the background of The Day They Come.)

Radio Hour: For some reason, John and Jackie's reunion really gets to me. The echoed
you lost her/and i'm so sorry in particular. The Green Room Pale and the end of The Best of Times are both high up there too.

Atompunk: goddamn Postcards from Perdition's Trail, it's so fucking good. The end of Lee and the backwards message, too.

9. a character I wish died but didn’t
......I mean more than half the main characters are dead by the end of their respective plays each time so I don't even know.

10. my ship that never sailed
Does Annabel/Narrator count?
