FIRST OF ALL WELCOME EVERYONE FROM THE CRAZY merlin_land_ot FRIENDING MEME! I'm totally friending everyone I wasn't already friends with because it was the greatest thing ever.

And speaking of memes, since I was talking about this with Jen earlier:

1. Make a list of 15 characters.
2. SHOW THAT LIST TO SOMEONE AND YOU DIE.
3. Let the people of your FList comment one (1) number and one song they've chosen.
4. WITHOUT SHOWING YOUR LIST, write something about the character, using the song to inspire yourself.
5. You done? Good. Now you can go and show which character or couple it was.
6. It's a meme with a twist!!

Yeees, it's the one I've already posted before but since I only got one reply (#13) and I've friended like 12 new people since then I figured it might be worth a shot to try and get your interest again. The fandoms are Merlin, Doctor Who, Torchwood, SPN, The Big Bang Theory, Inception, ASOIAF, Temeraire, Locke Lamora. And also Castle which I totally forgot about.
HIZA I SWEAR YOUR FICLET IS COMING! Kinda sorta.

#14 is still open! Not that you probably know that character anyway. :|

ALSO EVERYONE SHOULD JOIN sherlockmas BECAUSE I SAY SO AND BECAUSE I'M ENTERING TOO MANY EXCHANGES AND I NEED SOME COMPANY IN MY DESCENT INTO MADNESS.

And no, I still haven't watched Merlin, though I did watch SPN but I keep forgetting to post about it because I find the vampire plot kinda boring. Also watched Children of Earth today. Russel T. Davies owes me three hours of my life back. And I'm just 4 episodes away from finishing Doctor Who S5, what am I going to do after? D:

Oh, I see it's midnight right now. Here, have a totally useless manip:

Totally random but - yay merlin_land_ot friending meme! :D

Can I ask for number 3, please? :D I'm not familiar with all your fandoms but I'm sure I'll enjoy reading anything :). And the song would be Give Us a Little Love by Fallulah (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9igRtZsUvU) :).

[amaranthine3.livejournal.com]

Number 6 then, please? ;D

Oh, and I also haven't watched Merlin yet - our RPG kept me too busy ^^

[renrenren3]

lol icon

Ouch I think you got the most obscure fandom of all. XD; Sorry about that! Maybe I can convert you to it? XD

And the RP definitely kept me up too many nights. I kept telling myself "just one more comment".

[amaranthine3.livejournal.com]

One of my only two SPN icons ^^ (Merlin ones take too much space xD).

Oh, now I'm too curious :D. I hope the song will fit somehow! You can always try - I'm already intrigued ;D

[renrenren3]

I'm for equal opportunities, 3 SPN icons and 3 Merlin ones!

It does fit, kinda sorta. Not scarily fit like #3 and #13, but somehow. Plus, if everything fit too perfectly it wouldn't be a challenge. XD

#6 - Jean Tannen (Gentleman Bastard) - Give Us A Little Love

[renrenren3]

You get commentboxed! I don't suppose you've read The Lies of Locke Lamora by any chance? I'm trying to convert my flist. XD

Where do we belong, where did we go wrong / If there's nothing here, why are we still here?

Sometimes Jean thought about running away. He thought about it while Chains droned on about the customs of Tal Verrar and he remembered his father talking about his journeys. He thought about it while he played in the streets behind the temple with Locke, Calo and Galdo and he remembered other games with other children.

But most of all he thought about it at night, staring up at the ceiling through the darkness, listening to the regular breath of everyone around him. This wasn't his world, he'd never really fit in, not like the others did. They'd never had a real family so they didn't know any different. They had no idea how it was to come home and find their mother waiting for them. Jean had never really been a mommy's boy, always clinging to her skirts, but he still missed her terribly.

He acted as if it didn't matter, pretending that he had forgotten about his family. The truth was that if he thought too much about them he could burst into tears. He didn't think he could ever really forget. He could never really get used to being fake acolyte of Perelandro and a thief and a false-facer, he could only become better and better at pretending that he was fine with it. And the only reason he hadn't ran away yet was that he didn't know where else to go.

Yay, fic! ^^ Nope, I haven't read it but I'll look for it since you rec it :D.

And I don't know the context without reading the books but this fic is beautiful ♥ I love the part of the lyrics you chose and what resulted from it - it's strange but I can even somehow relate to it. It's just gorgeous <3 Thank you so much for writing it.

Re: #6 - Jean Tannen (Gentleman Bastard) - Give Us A Little Love

[renrenren3]

Haha, I'm sorry about the obscure character... it's kind of an unusual side for Jean too since he's only a kid during flashbacks.

Still, I reeeeeally recommend that book, it's all kinds of awesome and funny and heartbreaking at times. It's just. ♥

I'll look for it in my library :)).
