Challenge #7

In your own space, create your own challenge. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


The thing I miss most from when fandom was a more active thing, is memes. Mostly fandom memes, but also friending memes, kink memes, challenge memes; all the stuff that circled around and knit the community together. I went back through my lj archives and found a few fandom memes I wouldn't mind resurrecting. But I'm also going to challenge others to do the same thing, since we come from a lot of different fandoms we probably had different memes that made the rounds. So you can reply challenging me do answer these and/or link to your own; or you can answer some of them here with your fandom of choice


Ask anything, if it's not one of my fandoms I'll either just say that, or say it but go on to try and answer what I'm given to understand from fandom osmosis.

I suspect "Jon should be Ned's kid" IS an unpopular opinion, yes! :) (I don't have any strong feelings about the Starks, except for wanting the suriving Stark kids, especially Sansa, to end up in a safe and relatively happy situation after all they've been through. But I definitely don't want any secret Targaryens -- or non-secret ones, for that matter -- on the throne at the end, so anything that makes that possibility more remote is fine by me.)

it would kind of be just another narcissism based thing, and I'm hoping Jaime gets out of that cycle.

Oh, it totally would be! And it's definitely much less of a character growth ship for him than Brienne, but I actually like the mirroring. Well, and two cocky assholes paired together, in general.

And I also kind of think if Jaime actually thought for a second about the idea of having a threesome with Cersei and Brienne, he'd quickly realize it would be a bad idea

Wholeheartedly agreed! I could see it as a thing that, IDK, he sees in a dream or something, and his first thought is "hot!" but that quickly changes to "baaad idea" as soon as he considers it in any sort of 'real life' context.

Also, I kind of love that icon.

Heh, thank you1 :D It's from the glory days of westerosorting, of course -- the list was something cyshobbitlass came up with, and then I had to icon it using Poggy's art :)

Hey, someone who shares my anit-Targ bias. And yeah, that definitely also contributes to my dislike for R+L=J. I stopped watching the show after s5 and have just been sitting on the sidelines with popcorn for a while, but watching people bitch about how R+L=J meant nothing has me shrugging and nodding. I hope that's something they got from George (actually I hope it's not even a true thing and this is the greatest con in history). In fact there are a lot of things in the last season that I kind of think might come from George, just with better writing than the show gave those points (like the war against the Others not being the final conflict, I picture Martin showing the fallout of alliances of convenience and for conflicts of interests to arise among forces who came together to fight a bigger threat. Kind of B5 season 5, showing the consequences of these mythic wars).

Also, while I'm not 100% opposed to Jon ending up on the throne (secret Targ or not) I mostly picture him sitting there with a clueless expression on his face until he and Ghost just peace out some day.
