Challenge #8:
In your own space, write a promo, manifesto or primer for a beloved character, relationship or fandom.

So my newest favorite character is Eddie Diaz from 9-1-1, the procedural about first responders that used to air on Fox and is now on ABC, currently in their eighth season. I only started watching early last year so I joined late and as much as I got attached to basically all the main cast, it didn't take me long to love Eddie, who showed up in season 2, episode 1. Then again, his introduction scene was him putting on his shirt in slow motion while "Whatta Man" by Salt n Peppa played in the background and how could you beat that?



I even made 50 icons of him for a lands_of_magic challenge, which you can find here.

scintilla10 asked: Ted Lasso, Keeley, any topic

I love Keeley - she was just such a bright spot right off the bat and I loved her dynamic with all the characters, and her relationship with Rebecca was delightful. She's so warm and positive and her journey to gain confidence in herself was great. I like that she stood up to Rebecca when she realized that she was behind the sabotage and how she put her foot down with both Jamie and Roy at various points too. She had a positive impact on the people around her - really encouraging and wanting to see the best in people.

I liked her growth and how she gained the confidence to do her own thing, which is why I was really disappointed with her s3 arc. ( Read more... )

bradygirl_12 asked: DC Comics/Wonder Woman/What does she offer Man's World?

I'm going to start off by saying that my Wonder Woman knowledge is limited to the DCEU. While I also watched the animated Justice League show as a kid, I don't remember anything and the few comic books I've read didn't involve her.

Asked by peaked: Smallville / Lois Lane / talk to me about how she's the hero of the story and Clark Kent/Superman is the damsel in distress.

NGL, I laughed when I read the way you worded this. Clark did canonically need to be saved now and then (and he's very pretty so he made a pretty damsel too! :D). Unsurprisingly, I have a lot of thoughts! On a semi related note, I find it interesting that, while I can't speak of all DC history, a lot of canons where Superman is evil or has an evil counterpart, especially recently, Lois is either dead or working against him, whether it is Smallville in the Luthor universe, Superman & Lois alternate universe, the Knightmare verse in the DCEU, or as recently as My Adventures with Superman. It would've been easy to have her enamored with him and using the press to help but instead, she's gone or fighting on the right side. As far as Smallville goes, they deviated from the norm immediately - instead of Lois meeting Superman when he rescues her, it's Clark who is in a more vulnerable position. He's naked in a field and has forgotten the human side of him, and it's Lois who takes him to the hospital, and her taking him there leads Martha to finding him too. I always remember how the script for Crusade in the graveyard scene says, "He smiles, never quite met anyone like her before". That really rings true to not only Lois's role in Clark's life, but in the show in general. Even Tom Welling has commented about how she brought out another side of Clark. She arguably has the most consistent characterization as well and the only thing that she was limited by was her screen time.

Lois being heroic is something that is shown from the start. Not only did she not hesitate to help Clark, the reason she comes to town in the first place is because she's seeking justice for Chloe's death. ( Read more... )

Asked by queenslayerbee: Gilmore Girls / Emily Gilmore / what do you think of her life going forward? (as in, past the revival)

Emily's storyline in the Revival was up and down, but that was true for the Revival in general. I thought her grief over losing her husband was handled well, for the most part, with her visibly struggling and trying to honor him in her own way, even if it was pretty awkward at moments.

This is for the lands_of_magic's character study challenge. I picked Lois Lane from Smallville. :D

( text and graphics this way )

Since I've come back to working on fics, I was going through all the challenge tables I signed up for on LJ and decided to start again on one called 15pairings. A few of the pairings I picked involved Lana (no, I haven't gone crazy in my time away, thank you very much; 15 different pairings is a LOT and I do have a few people I ship her with!).

I was trying to figure out what kind of job she would have and I couldn't think of something to suit her. That's when I decided to go to you, my flist. I'm looking for serious answers though.

So, what kind of career do you see Lana Lang in and why?
