I am a shameless thief

Because the sky is blue
Because your mama made me do it
Because I'm tired
Because the world is my oyster
Because the first Season Five Lost trailer is out...

Stole these from MAH BOY WALT lostinapapercup:

Pick four of my icons that make you curious, whether it's because of the content or because of the keywords, and I'll tell you about them. Then I'll pick four of yours and blah blah, icon glee, you know the drill.

Of course, being the rebel I am, you should also feel free to pick four icons from any of my RP characters (the list is in my profile) and ask about those instead if that floats your boat.

ALSO, for the roleplay-minded, tell me a character you think I'd do great justice and I'll do the same for you.

Stubby lives! sff_corgi made this for me right after Order of the Phoenix was released. It's a little bit of denial, a little bit of this and that, a little bit of roleplay. It's Jason Carter teaching an acting class, really, but he was always my idea of a right fine Sirius Black anyway.


Mister Burns! The keyword for this is excellent and that is what I think of when I see this picture, but I have to be a rebel and only use a graphical representation of the word, don't I. Also, in case anyone doesn't know, I live in the beautiful Springfield-like Pacific northwest, home of Matt Groening and The Simpsons. It's only appropriate.


Fuck's sake. Spike looks so perfectly bewildered and disgusted, doesn't he? I probably wear this expression more than any other in these two weeks leading up to the election.


Thursday night JEARS. If you don't know and don't watch Lost, well, it's on Thursday nights and Jack usually bursts into tears at least once every episode. Jack's tears=JEARS, and... this was made by the lovely iconseeyou.


Got sushi? No? Let's go! The presentation is so pretty! And so random! And did I say pretty? I love sushi. When I broke vegetarianism for seafood, it was all sushi's fault.


Wet dog. Yeah. Some days are just kind of like that. This is from Cowboy Bebop Session 2, Stray Dog Strut, in which the man who hates kids, pets, and women with attitude ends up with a dog of his very own who, of course, allows himself to be rescued then literally bites the hand that feeds him. I'm not in a great mood, okay? It's pretty much Spike's mantra.

Mostly I wanted to know your thoughts on Cartman. He's one of those characters I would have apped AGES ago, except I'd give him plot, and... he's Cartman. It doesn't work.

Karen Davis is the direct superior of Charlie Crews and Dani Reese; the former is an ex-con and the latter had/has a drug problem (and is sticking to a twelve-step program fairly well). In addition, she's up in the ranks of the LAPD, and as such has to balance the shenanigans of her superiors while managing Crews and Reese and while managing public relations. While investigating certain cases. She's a tough lady who has to deal with a lot of crap, and she's very, very good at her job. ...except when the conspiracy that sent Charlie Crews to jail for twelve years comes in, but there really isn't any good way to navigate that kind of thing.

As for Seth Bullock: fictionally, he left Montana, where he was the sheriff, because he was totally sick of imposing laws where (he thinks) there shouldn't be any other than "behave yourselves". And as the Deadwood camp coalesces into an actual town attached to the United States, he unwillingly finds himself getting sucked back into the whole lawman schtick -- because there's nobody else as good for the job, and he knows it. He's completely fueled by anger, and over the course of the show he has to figure out how to live with it -- and gets considerably less selfish in the process.

They're both fascinating, weighty characters who've got a lot to do with ethics and the law, and where the two meet and diverge. At least to me (and maybe I'm crazy) that seems like one of the many things you do really well.

Cartman, Cartman. He's such a classic trickster. He exists to piss people off but sometimes he gets things right. Randomly, my introduction to South Park was the Scientology episode and luckily enough I've seen it a couple times since. It never fails to amuse me. I do think it would be pretty hard to play any of the characters from SP in anything other than a pure crack RP environment, though. They're too random.

Also, thank you for the compliment.
