minkhollow*LJ, I don't approve of this thing where clicking on the 'x comments' link bumps you all the way to the bottom of the page, as that's usually what I click on to try to read cut text. Also, why do you keep varnish-erroring my profile?
*Parents' computer is well and truly borked; it froze on me a couple times while they were out of town, and when Mom tried booting it up this evening it whitescreened and ran a bunch of 'DEFAULT blahblahblah.' My guess: hard drive.
*Meme time part one: 1. Give me a canon (or character from a canon)
2.And I will you FIVE things that, in my opinion, make that canon super special shiny and awesome. They may be characters, crowning moments of awesome/funny/heartwarming, particularly epic music or animation, or just things that make me out and out squee every time.
*Meme time part two: Four more icons courtesy of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
misslucyjane (who also wanted info on two from the last batch).
those snow... mammals... can be vicious: One of a few I have from Help! because I adore the movie to bits (and because everyone needs an icon of Paul on the floor, though this is not that icon). This is Ringo picking a fight with some kind of snow animal; I said 'mammals' in the keyword because my best guess is it's a horse-ish.
plot bunny troubles: I made this as a shareable icon for Yuletide in '09, when Dr. Horrible was one of the bigger fandoms involved. It works both for that moment of 'what did I get myself into with this offer?' and for general 'plot bunnies, what the hell?'
private sign: I believe I found the photo on Oddly Specific. It amused me, so I made an icon, but it's hard to know what the right time to use it is.
geeks in love: Yet more Warehouse 13 - or, technically, Warehouse 13/Eureka, since Claudia's busy snogging Fargo there. Of my various OTP icons, this is the one that has the best shot at a happy ending (though even that's a long shot, considering).

Date: 2011-08-25 05:55 pm (UTC)1) Susan's relationship with her grandfather. Part of me is a little glad that Sir Terry's probably never going to have a chance to fully resolve their arc, as I can only see it ending one of two ways - either Susan fully takes over the job or Death has to collect her one day. And I can't decide which of those would be worse for the Disc.
2) The way I'm laughing one minute and utterly creeped out or smacked upside the head by potential/actual tragedy the next. Soul Music, Moving Pictures and Jingo are the big ones in this category. (The first time I read Jingo, I got to the part where the Dis-Organizer from the next timeline over starts spouting things off about what was going on in that timeline and just... stared at the book for about ten minutes.
3) The fact that the satire is dead-on enough that even when I don't get all the jokes, I know it's accurate. Dad's a mailman, so I can say with certainty that Going Postal is dead on.
4) Pyramids. Pyramids, Pyramids, Pyramids. It's tied with Moving Pictures for my favorite one-off book; it's ridiculous and chilling and really hurt my head the first time I read it and... I'd feel sorry for Dios at the end, if he weren't getting exactly what he deserved.
5) Hex, of course! Coolest computer/thinking engine ever. I mean, he believes in the Hogfather!
