If anyone's interested, snagged from svgurl. :)

Comment and I will comment back with a picture of the fictional character that most reminds me of you. Then post the same in your journal.

And another one...

Comment with any ship (romantic or platonic or maybe even non-existent!) from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about, and I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on your ship of choice.

Oh, I am ALL over this. (Snagging from you, so I expect to see you making requests of your own, buddy!)

I'll take a picture of who reminds you of me... and I want to hear your thoughts on Xena/Ares. Because, well. We need to explore this. WE DO.

Beka Valentine from Andromeda. Okay...I don't know if you've ever heard of the show so you may be going, 'who--what??' It's a sci-fi show that aired in early 2000. It's probably one of my favorite shows and she definitely is one of my favorite characters of all-time. I feel like you're a strong person--you deal with whatever comes at you. You're honest and just generally, so nice. And you care a lot about the people in your life that matter to you.

Xena/Ares! Yes! It does need to be explored :D. Just thinking about them makes me want to watch their scenes again. They were my first real ship. Ever. I discovered fanfiction through them. I discovered fandom, that there were other fans out there who talked about the show--not only that but my favorite pairing. And the fanfiction :D...I was in heaven.

The chemistry between them was Ah-mazing. I just love, love them. Together and separately. I guess I could start with the aspect of forbidden romance. She left her old world behind her and he embodied everything she wanted/needed to leave behind. And Ares...he was a god and he became obsessed with a mortal, fell in love with her and gave up everything he knew (his power and immortality) so that she could live.

I don't think anyone else could've matched her other than Ares on the show, at least for there was no one else for Xena. I know he did terrible things (like he said, he 'handled her all wrong'). But he was the God of War (for thousands of years)--a selfish and amoral being and he learned to love, to become human.

Yeah, I still love them just as much. :D

Classic Ares line: "Oh, the pain, the pain." *rolls eyes*

I can't tell you how hard I laughed at that. Oh good times.
