A herd of teal deer: Korra’s Firebending, Part 3: On Equalist Ground (2)
I’m always wishing Tumblr would let me reblog more than one post at a time (or combine replies, or something…), so I can’t pass up this opportunity. ^_^
Oh! I don’t know if you know - I had no idea until pulpofiction explained it to me - but when you reblog, there should be a drop down in the upper right corner. If you switch it to text (from ‘link’ probably), stuff should work properly, including the read more. Like so:
What: Tumblr Fic War
Who: Anyone who reblogs this post.
When: Until everyone is actualfax dead, because this is WAR suckers!
Why: FEELINGS
What: Everyone who reblogs this post is opening their ask box up to the most brutal, feelings-inducing prompts anyone who is playing can imagine. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take those prompts and DESTROY EVERYONE with them. Not just angsty stuff either, fluff can be just as bad, as many of you know!

Ooh, Emma’s another one I love, I’m really glad to see her there :)
Haha she used to be THE favorite actually but then Mary happened sooo. They’re still head and shoulders above anyone else but I feel for Mary more than Emma.
Oh and since I’ve never asked before, how would you rank all the heroines?
I get that, and hmm, I haven’t done it in years, but probably:
(1) Emma, (2) Elinor Dashwood, (3) Anne Elliot, (4) Fanny Price, (5) Elizabeth Bennet, (6) Catherine Morland, (7) Marianne Dashwood, (8) Frederica de Courcy
It’s fanon that Elizabeth and Emma would get on really well, but I’m with you there.
Heh. I have an inkling that Emma, Elizabeth and Mary would not get along. Not to indulge in any kind of stereotypical ‘pretty girls being catty towards one another’ nonsense (they have too high self-esteem for that), just… I think it’s canon that they appreciate a milder temperament (i.e. Emma and Harriet, Elizabeth and Jane, Mary and Fanny) and while their encounters would probably be really fun I can’t imagine them being friends.
Yeah. Pretty much all the people Elizabeth cares most about are much less … performative, I think, than all three of them are.
5 - I actually did give you my favourites, for the lols
Haha really? And no Elizabeth?
Elizabeth isn’t actually one of my favourites, as far as Austen characters go! I do like her, but I always have to battle a certain amount of residual irritation there!
fradine asked: 005: Mrs. Norris, Mrs. Bennet, Lady Catherine, Lady Bertram, Fanny Dashwood. And Mary Crawford, Elizabeth Bennet, Emma Woodhouse, Anne Elliot, Elinor Dashwood!
ooh, a challenge!
First set:
(1) Lady Catherine, I actually adore Lady Catherine and have ever since her “well I don’t see any reason for entailing property away from daughters” moment coupled with “daughters are never of much consequence to their fathers”
(2) Lady Bertram, not that bad
(3) Fanny Dashwood, at least entertaining
(4) Mrs Bennet, meh
(5) Mrs Norris, extremely well written, but horrible
Second set:
(1) Mary Crawford (surprise!)
(2) Emma Woodhouse
(3) Elinor Dashwood
(4) Anne Elliot (I think Anne is a more complex character than Elinor, but idk, I just like Elinor and Anne annoys me a little)
(5) Elizabeth Bennet (I like her a lot, but get overpowered by her stans and her sparkly witty charming delightfulness at times, especially since her mistakes and flaws are things I happen to find irritating)

I’m gonna do 001/004/005 first since 002/003 require some ~serious thinking~
001 | Austen
- Favorite character: as a person: Mary Crawford, as a character: Emma Woodhouse
- Least Favorite character: I… never thought about this actually :D. But probably Edward Ferrars. Or Frederick Wentworth but it’s an irrational hatred.
- 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Henry/Mary Crawford, John/Fanny Dashwood, Henry/Mary/Edmund/Fanny/Tom/Maria/Julia, Mrs. Norris/Dr. Grant, Darcy/Mary Crawford
- Character I find most attractive: Mary/Darcy/Knightley/Henry Tilney
- Character I would marry: Um no haha. There’s like one fictional character I could imagine (maybe) spending my life with but not an Austen character
- Character I would be best friends with: A more extrovert Anne Elliot, or Charlotte Lucas
- a random thought: I can’t imagine any of her characters having sex
- An unpopular opinion: Mansfield Park is the easiest to read out of all her novels
- my canon OTP: John/Fanny Dashwood
- Non-canon OTP: eh, Henry/Mary, but it’s not like I think about them in terms of ‘canon-ness’
- most badass character: um, ‘badass’ isn’t a word I associate with any Austen characters
- pairing I am not a fan of: Brandon/Marianne, Edward/Elinor, Henry/Fanny, Anne/Wentworth
- character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Emma. Not ‘screwed up’ per se, just.. all the missed opportunity :((
- favourite friendship: Henry/Mary ♥
- character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I want to be adopted by Darcy as his sister :D
004 | Emma/P&P
Emma/Elizabeth lololol but mostly because I’m pretty sure they’d hate each other
005 | You gave me most of my favorites already haha
- Mary Crawford
- Emma Woodhouse
- Henry Tilney
- Fitzwilliam Darcy
- Lady Susan Vernon (I’m only like halfway through the book though so this might change)
Ooh, Emma’s another one I love, I’m really glad to see her there :)
I’m not sure I hate Wentworth and Edward, but I also tend to dislike them. Also, I think you may be the only other person I know who also likes Darcy/Mary! (And heh, I used to scandalize the fandom by saying that I’d much much rather be Darcy’s sister than his love interest.)
It’s fanon that Elizabeth and Emma would get on really well, but I’m with you there.
5 - I actually did give you my favourites, for the lols
steampunk-honey asked: Star Wars, since apparently nobody has asked you this?
yay I get to do this awesome meme
heeeh, our fandom <3
Favourite character: Luke, always and forever, with Leia a very short distance behind.
Least favourite character: Palpatine, even though he was kind of the highlight of the PT for me. I don’t care about him and I like him best in ANH and ESB when he’s just this vague unseen/barely seen menace and I get immensely frustrated when he shows up in fic where he’s not part of the premise.
Five favourite ships: Han/Leia, Luke/Leia, Han/Luke, Han/Luke/Leia and, uh, Anakin/Padmé somehow
Character I find most attractive: LEIA
Character I would marry: nobody, lol, but if I had to, I think I could come to some kind of mutually beneficial agreement with Luke
Character I would be best friends with: Luke! (I kind of am. My best friend’s got plenty in common with him)
A random thought: I looooove this period of wank and rumours and bizarre theories, it’s the most fun I’ve had with it in years
My canon OTP: Han/Leia
My non-canon OTP: Luke/Leia, worst ship sinking ever
Most badass character: Vader, duh
Pairing I am not a fan of: THERE ARE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM. Obi-Wan/anyone probably takes the cake.
Character I feel the writers screwed up: Padmé, good Lord, her arc is such a mess and I liked her so much and then, just, why. She’s always at the very top of my list of ‘characters screwed over by canon.’ And NO, not because she had to die eventually.
Favourite friendship: Luke and Leia <3
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: uh. well hell, I couldn’t do worse by bb Anakin, perfect sweet space Jesus that he is, than the Jedi did
[video]
ugh yes that is the greatest feeling in the world
