Tell me the fictional character I remind you of, and tell me why you think that. A new and fun way to see how people view you!

I'm leaving off the latter part that says in return I'll tell you of whom you remind me, because I usually suck at that sort of thing. If I think of something, then I'll tell ya, promise.

No, I *demand* that you do me in return, in a non-lewd manner.

You remind me of the following:

1. The Joker.
2. Mayor Hundred from Ex Machina.

The Joker for your loopy, insane wit, devilish persona, and the fact that you thrive when you perform and thrive on attention in general.

Mayor Hundred...you just remind me of him. A man thrust into the public eye!

Joker, really? Even though I am a big softie? And Mayor Hundred, that's fascinating... I could see that, if only I had a thicker skin for politics.

For you? Well, it's tricky, as I only know you from LJ. But what comes to mind (don't laugh... ok, laugh a little) is Power Girl, for your attitude mingled with good nature.

Hey, you asked and I tried.

(Randomly: do you watch Futurama? And have you seen the Dating Robots episode, the one with Lucy Liu? I have a brilliant new animated icon idea and I need to run it by you)

Yes and yes and yes, my dearest, and I want to know what y our idea is!

Mayor Hundred I will elaborate on:

For some reason he just resonates with me for you. He's compassionate, he's sensitive, he gets frustrated, he's sensitive, he has a certain practicality that reminds me of you, and he's trying to find his way in the world. But the way he expresses all of the above, again, reminds me of you.

However, you wear your heart on your sleeve more than he does.

The Joker for the insane and funny side of your persona. You have a finely honed sense of the absurd that really, really screams "JOKER!" at me whenever we talk.

If I had to pick an X-Person for you, I'd pick Madrox. HAH!

POWER GIRL?! Do tell me more! That's fascinating.

Also, will work on that BALLS icon for us. <3

I'm thinking something along the lines of:

CAPTAIN AMERICA: Ordinary human dating. It's enjoyable and it serves an important purpose. But when a human dates an artificial mate, there is no purpose. Only enjoyment. And that leads to...tragedy.
WANDA: Neato! Vision!
VISION: Ooo, you're a real dreamboat (mechanically) Wanda Maximoff.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: Harmless fun? Let's see what happens next!
IRON MAN: Wanda, Dr. Doom has gained the Power Cosmic and is going to destroy New York! Want to help us?
WANDA: No thanks, Tony. I'd rather make out with Vision.
HAWKEYE: Heads up, Witchy Woman! Thanos has the Infinity Gauntlet again! We need your help!
WANDA: No thanks, Clint. I'd rather make out with Vision.
SIMON: Wanda, do you want to come over tonight? We can make out together.
WANDA: Gee Simon, your room is just down the hall. That's an awfully long way to go for making out.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: Did you notice what went wrong in that scene? Ordinarily, Wanda would work hard to fight evil before going back to Avengers Mansion for a dinner with Simon, thus earning him the slim chance of performing the reproductive act. But in a world where teens can date robots why should she bother? Why should anyone bother? Let's take a look at Wanda's team a year later. Where are all the Norse Gods? And where are the size-changing super-scientists? They are trapped - trapped in a soft, vise-like grip of robot lips. All civilization was just an effort to impress the opposite sex. And sometimes the same sex. Now, let's skip forward into the future. Where is Wanda?
WANDA: (Bugfuck Crazy) RARAGH, I'M BUGFUCK CRAZY CUZ I WANT BABE-EES!! NO MORE MUTANTS! (Incomprehensible Crazy Sounds)
CAPTAIN AMERICA: The next day, Wanda's team was destroyed. Have you guess the name of Wanda's team? ... It was the Avengers! DON'T DATE ROBOTS!

...we are so doing this! GENIUS!

But we are limited with text space on a 100x100 icon. We shall have to be clever and sly and pare down Cap's speech just a smidge, I'm thinking.

Why Power Girl?

I totally stole your meme for my own journal and then wrote about you just now.

im in ur journal, absconding with ur memes.

See below for PG.

Yeah, I dunno how we'd edit it so. We'd have to edit a ton too. Hey, if nothing else, I think we should re-enact it with scans and put it on scans_daily.

That's fascinating about Hundred. I love the character (partially because of how he looks, which lets me believe that Maxwell Lord is alive and well in another dimension under an assumed name). and will have to keep that in mind as I read him more.

Yeah, I think I could see that with Joker. Although you'd have to run that past Bloo. I'm more empathic than Mr. J is, certainly. And yes, I think I could definitely see Madrox.

Power Girl just comes to mind based on, from what I know from you in LJ and IM, that you are good-natured but also strongly opinionated (in a good way, of course), and are rather aggressive to folks who irk you, but you still seem to have that smirk even as you pull up your gloves.

You still want me to try to scan that BALLS image sometime?

Balls out, baby!

From: [identity profile] kali921.livejournal.com
Yes, scan that image! I am going to talk to the wondrous [livejournal.com profile] imtehsprightly, icon maker extraordinaire, and convince her to do this icon, because it's too good an idea to pass up. Never fear, it shall be done. This very same fine person will be ideal to help us execute the above planned icon as well.

...I'm trying to work on the aggression thing. I think it comes out in fandom far more than anywhere else, and also via Internet Sociopathy, where people will say ugly things online that they wouldn't dare to say to someone face-to-face. That irks me, and that's when I get aggressive, or when someone disturbs the serenity of someone I care about or screws with them, or cruelty to animals, or general bitchery and hypocrisy online. The catch? Is that by being aggressive in turn I fall into the very same trap.

I do try to retain my sense of humor. At heart, I'm a big ole softie.

I'm far too loyal for my own good. NOTHING pisses me off like someone attacking a friend of mine unjustly.

Awww. Power Girl. I'm still giggling over that, and you brought a HUGE smile to my face!

Much love to both you and Bloo.

Every character that Frank Nelson has ever played. (For those of you out there who don't spend all your time on wikipedia, he's the actor the "Yeeeeessssss" guy on the Simpsons is modeled after.

Also, Walking Dead 3 and 4 sooooooooooo good. Need 5 NOW.

The Great Gildersleeve? Really? C'mon, how much stuff have you actually seen/heard him in? You're just thinking the Simpsons version, aren't you? ;)

Yes. I personally dislike 4 because it drags (bear in mind, I read those issues over several long tedious months) and the whole monologue is like, "Well DUH, way to bash that into our heads."

But then 5 more than makes up for it. Woo boy.

Constantine/Treplev (depending on translation) from The Seagull. You're a young, eager writer with a particularly close relationship to your mother and you say yourself that you often do your best work when you're unhappy.

From: [identity profile] thehefner.livejournal.com
That's funny, Gary Sloan at Catholic U said that Constantine was a must role for me to play. I wonder how much of what you said is that influenced that thought on his part?

I almost auditioned for the Vpstart Crow production for that very role, but it was just too far.

That's fascinating.

Seconded!

That's been out of print (I think... haven't seen it for a long while) for so long, I barely remember the character. Really? How? Why?

That... is really rather flattering, that is.

(But you just got that from seeing the icon, didn't you? ;)

No, prove that I was inspired by the icon :D. But you can do both or either of the ones you talked about.

Ach, see, your use of paranthesis screwed me up!

Heh! I just find it a little *funny* that you should go right for another Kevin MacDonald character, s'all. ;)

You? Ach, like I said, I suck at these things, so let me ponder it for awhile.

First possibiltiy finally comes to mind-- Skeets.

You float by, closely observing things with a wry sense of humor, knowing you are more sensible than those you're watching but smart enough to not get directly involved too much of the time.

Thank Skeetles for putting that in mind as a possibility.

Skeetles in a teapot!

I would disagree to some extent in that Skeets is kind of a toady, but now that he is evil and also a murderer I'm for it.

No, I wouldn't think of him in a today aspect, as much as a Jeeves aspect. Ever seen/read Jeeves and Wooster? Yes, I think Jeeves is quite an apt comparison for Skeets and Booster. Oh man Skeets/Jeeves, Wooster/Booster? CONSPIRACY!

Kermit the Frog. But not in his angtsy moments. Not "It's Not Easy Being Green" Kermit. I mean middle-of-the-show Kermit, in full Master-of-Ceremonies mode with celebrity guests and an orchestra, semi-bewildered and semi-totally on top of it and kind of enjoying the madness, and who might at any moment break into a dance number. Or get beat up by a pig in a dress.

From: [identity profile] thehefner.livejournal.com
Wow, I'm amazed the angsty moments don't get included also! But still, that's also a fascinating choice. I think I can see that, definitely. Cool!

I'm also surprised you didn't mention "YAYYYYY!" because I've been known to do that on occasion.

Date: 2006-10-14 03:11 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] little-dinosaur.livejournal.com
Wow, I didn't even know that. You really are Kermit. I mean, the angsty moments are there, which is fine for Kermit-resembling, but it's more the MC stuff that really reminds me of him.
Can I have one?

Date: 2006-10-13 09:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] eliyes.livejournal.com
You know what? I think I have to agree with you. He's very Kermit-like.

Thirded.

I'd tell you, but I'm not sure if he's really fictional. He might be based on someone the band actually knew.

Would I know this person?

Possibly? I think I mentioned the song once. It's "BJ" from Moxy Fruvous' "BJ Don't Cry No More".

From: [identity profile] thehefner.livejournal.com
Hrmm, nope, no idea.

We'll stick with Kermit, then! :) YAYYYY!

From: [identity profile] eliyes.livejournal.com
Also the other day someone sent be a picture of a T-shirt, and the model looked like you in the pictures of you and Bloo, only with slightly darker hair.
(Not fictional.)

Kermit works, I feel. ;)
