Five top answers con't

Top Five Azula moments for rebbe

1. The Beach. The whole of it. Especially the volley ball game, the "you're so sharp" attempt at flirting, and of course "my mother thought I was a psycho! she was right of course, but that still hurt"
2. Crazy-zula with Ursa in the mirror. I love mirror scene.
3. Explaining to Zuko why she'd told Ozai he had killed the Avatar - and doing so all flirty.
4. Day of the Black Sun, fighting without fire bending, taunting and still winning.
5. Intimidating the Dai Li agents into submission. Scary and exhilariting indeed XD

Tope five too-shojo-to-be-good-for-your-health manga you'd recommend for ngblog

1. Please Save My Earth - I made a review recently after rereading it, definitly one of my favourite guilty pleasure shoujo. The melodrama, it still gets to me!
2. Basara - Melodrama AND epic, yay! too bad I hate the art style, but the storyline makes up for it.
3. Skip Beat - due to extremely awesome protagonist, and a story that's focussed on her being awesome first, and on romance second. Quite the mood lifter.
4. Lovely Complex - Best comedy romance currently on the market.
5. Mille et une Nuits - mostly because I really love the art style, soooo pretty. Rather fond of the stories, too, and the stories within stories gimmick.

Top five fictional characters for wingblossom
which is an evil, evil question because only five fictional characters? In the entire world? argh

1. Himemiya Anthy (Revolutionary Girl Utena) - fascinating character, very ambiguous one and at the heart of a fabulous story
2. Aeryn Sun (Farscape) - one of my favourite female warrior type character out there
3. Xelloss (Slayers) - much as a love the character type, and he's an excellent, endlessly amusing one, I think it's the voice that clinches it.
4. Miles Vorkosigan (Vorkosigan series) - there's a reason I keep reading those books, and one of them is how utterly comfortable I find myself in this guy's head, okay?
5. Jaime Lannister (ASOIAF) - cocky arrogant bastard

Five favorite ASoIaF fan art for redcandle17
That's a difficult question because I sometimes save fanart i like, but not always, and it's also not something I always pay a lot of attention to, and I'm posting things here I won't be able to credit properly. Oh, and some might actually be official art and I forgot about that.

1.
There's a reason I iconised it! I love this drawing style, soft, delicate, subtle and melancholy ♥
2.
On account of being a gorgeous picture and a great vision of Brienne.
3.
All the pictures by this artists are great, love the colouring and drawing style. I love this one best because it really gets the point across. Very expressive and fierce.
4.
Mostly because most pics of Cersei I've seen are totally wrong, showing her like a sex kitten and totally missing in term of representing her personality. This one's really got Cersei's haughtiness and unhappiness as well as beauty.
5.
Love the mucha-like design and the twirls of the hair, very pretty composition.
Bonus 6.
For cracking me up ^_^

I can't decide whether to be proud or ashamed that I can tell you from memory who drew all of those.

1 is by h_johanna.
2 is card game art by Christine Griffin.
3 is by Jenny Dolfen/Gold-Seven.
4 is by Cabepfir from DeviantArt.com
5 is by our own dear misstopia.
6 is by M. Luisa Giliberti.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Nah, that's great of you!

I knew only about 1. because her names' in the pic title XD

I didn't even know one of them was by misstopia, that's how bad I am about those things XD

so, do you approve of my picks?

[redcandle17.livejournal.com]

so, do you approve of my picks?

I do. They're all great. And ITA with what you said about the Cersei one.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

yay! :D

[luzisrighthand.livejournal.com]

There's a reason I iconised it! I love this drawing style, soft, delicate, subtle and melancholy ♥

That's a cool pic.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? ^_^

[la-vie-noire.livejournal.com]

OMG. What a pretty art. Five is Sansa? The comic cracked me up. I love Cersei in that.

Completely random, I don't like Jaime as a character, but somehow I ship him with Payne (Paine?). In my head!canon the old knight has the hots for him. That's all.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I think five is supposed to be Catelyn, judging by the sceneries in the background and the title 'Winter Widow', but I admit I'm not sure.

*sighs* I miss Cersei when she was scary and badass in GoT. I really hated her in FFC, and not even in that love to hate way. BTW that author made several other comics which are all very amusing, you probably can find them using the name redcandle17 provided.

lol actually Jaime/Ilyn Payne is also one of my crack pairing, on account of how hilarious their interaction was in FFC. 'You talk too much' XD
And, yes, I could see that.

[la-vie-noire.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't notice the title. Yeah, it's most likely Catelyn.

Totally with you on that. What they did with her in FFC was plain awful. It was the 'straw-woman' villain, or something I can't find the words for. XD Thank you for the information about the comics! I will look for them.

Heh. It's not crack until proved... that it is. :/

[redcandle17.livejournal.com]

No. 5 is indeed Catelyn.

[la-vie-noire.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you!

[rebbe]

YES

YES

YES

I AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE SO HARD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

lol

[solesakuma]

Preeeeeeetty drawings, even if I know nothing about ASOIAF.

And... you've read Lovecom? O_O

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

read-it-read-it-read-it... you know you want to :)

Sure! I've read a lot of manga I never post about. Especially silly shoujo.

[solesakuma]

I know I don't want to. It sounds... way too cynic for this fluff bunny. :S
I'm open for convincing, however. XP

XP YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. Silly shoujo needs more good publicity. :O

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

lol okay, good point. You don't want to read it!

LOL but I'm ashamed of reading it! Well, not Lovecom which is actually adorable, but, like, there's this ridiculous manga called Othello, which has random flip personnality girl an is really not good, yet I love it because everytime our doormat of a protagonist girl shifts personality and starts kicking the ass of the people who abused her it's so viscerally good. Yet it's so bad - I'm ashamed I spend money in this stuff XDDD

[solesakuma]

LOL. I like stupid shojo too. And telenovelas. The only reason I don't waste my whole afternoon watching is because they're too long.

[indigestible.livejournal.com]

That comic is ridiculously funny. Thanks for posting it, it really brightened my evening.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

lol I love it. Glad it brightened your evening ♥

[ngblog.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the recommendations! ^_^

(j'ai lu le n°5 en scan anglais donc pas en entier -j'adooooore, j'veux les 5 volumes en français- et le n°1 ne me tente pas mais je garde sous le coude les autres titres :D)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Je crois qu'il en est qu'au 4e en français.

Tient, ça me fait penser. J'ai "The Moon" de Li Ying, que j'ai déjà lu, que je pourrais te donner si tu veux.

[ngblog.livejournal.com]

C'est sympa d'y avoir pensé. Oui, je veux bien que tu me le prêtes STP ^_^

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

dis moi quand t'es du coté de Bercy village pour que je te retrouve et que je te le file alors :)

[ngblog.livejournal.com]

Ce dimanche si tu es libre ? J'ai ton numéro de portable et tu as le mien, au pire ;)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Ce dimanche je serais à l'album Bercy vers 15h moins 14 si tu peux...

[ngblog.livejournal.com]

14h46 ?? C'est précis dis-donc ^_^;
Oui, je peux en être, après le sport et le déj quoi.
On se retrouve donc à 14h45 devant Album du Bercy Village ?

[spikeyboots.livejournal.com]

I've never watched Farscape, but love Claudia Black & Ben Browder having seen them pop up in Stargate.

I'm really interested that you list Aeryn Sun as your second fav character -- what is it, when you say female warrior type -- what is it that makes her so great? I'm fascinated. :)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I can explain it appropriately. I love most kinds of female warrior types; with Aeryn, there's the whole stoic yet fierce soldier woman added to it, and sheer competence, which is very compelling. And sexiness, Aeryn's seriously sexy. She's also snarky and interesting as a person. And the whole theme of learning to be an ordinary human being, to be more than a soldier of a fascist and bureaucratic organisation, and everything she's got to struggle with on that journey? Seriously awesome characterisation.

[melusinahp.livejournal.com]

Those are gorgeous. I think Sex Kitten Cersei would make me violent.

And I love that last one. Lmao! I never understood why Ned was so naive in that scene.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Many parts of the fandom are violence-inducing, yes XDDD well, that's fandom for you.

The webcomic makes even more sense when you know Sansa is often called stupid in the fandom, and blamed for Ned's fate, which the webcomic makes a great point at highlighting the flaw of logic XD

[wingblossom.livejournal.com]

Thanks for answering -- I mean, I'm not sure I'd have been able to answer if someone had asked me the same question. ^^;.

Also, I may have to check out ASoIAF; everything I've heard about it sounds really good so far. (plus the first fanart you posted is really pretty.)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

haha it was definitely a difficult question!

ASOIAF is excellent - if not best - in the epic fantasy realm. It's got brilliant characterisation and plotting, but is very grim. So yeah, you should read it :)
