#roland deschain will fuck you up forever

[wandringaesthetic]

Probably I am going to finish rereading The Dark Tower and I am going to read everything Stephen King has ever said about The Dark Tower and I am going to read some analysis of The Dark Tower and someone is going to ask me "So what is The Dark Tower?" And I am going to say: "I do not fucking know."

Rules: list ten of your favourite characters in ten different fandoms and then tag ten people. I was tagged by @mardymaid, thanks!

I found this kinda hard because I was angsting about what constituted a fandom, and had (have?) a tendency to obsess about random stand-alone things rather than whatever series everyone else is watching (stubbornness plus contrariness, not exactly my most appealing qualities). But here goes...

1a. Star Wars ...Jyn Erso. Yup. Yep. I’ve forgotten too much about the EU, and the OT is too bound up with the EU for me to disentangle it all right now. But Jyn and Rogue One brought me back. 1b. Star Wars X-Wing series Uh cheeky I know, but this is the one part of the EU I did stay a bit more in touch with, and even though the old generation only had a cameo in Mercy Kill I still read it for them. So Wes Janson. 2. The X-Files Dana Scully. No question. 3. Harry Potter Remus Lupin! For ever and ever and ever. *aggressively ignores TDH* 4. Lord of the Rings Uhhh Faramir. I think. No, Éowyn. I don’t know. Both. I was going to do a ‘4b’ as the wider Tolkien world but my answer is just ‘anyone but fucking Túrin Turambar.’ 5. MCU Peggy Carter! Finally got S2 of Agent Carter and I can’t wait to watch it. I mean, I love Steve and Thor too, buuut they’re not Peggy. 6. The Musketeers (BBC) Uh, kind of to my shame, Athos. I’d rather say Porthos, but they didn’t always do enough with him. 7. Ripper Street Deborah Goren also forever and ever. Maybe she should meet Lupin! There is totally an AU in that, holy shit. Of the main three it was Reid most of the time, but Jackson came close by the end, though always in tandem with Susan. 8. Moulin Rouge! Including this as a fandom because I did write fic for it once upon a time...going with John Leguizamo’s portrayal of Toulouse Lautrec. 9. The Dark Tower Probably Roland Deschain, though Susannah’s a close second. 10. The Thursday Next series Um ok, Thursday obviously.

Honorary mentions to: Seyah Kendry (Killjoys), Chidi (The Good Place), Suki (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Aeryn Sun (Farscape) and Abbie Mills (from that one season of Sleepy Hollow they made, yep just the one).

Tagging @jimtheviking and @dolorosa because I can always get away with tagging you two, plus anyone else who wants to do it, but no obligation obviously.
