five things meme, part two

[such_heights]

Top five fandom cliches

1. BODYSWAP. I love it to a degree that is perhaps alarming.
2. Alternate universes and parallel selves and elsewheres and all that good stuff.
3. Truth serum.
4. Accidentally in a relationship!
5. Wacky alien/magical devices.

Top five pairings

1. Remus/Sirius, because it's first ship of my heart.
2. Jack/Ianto, because I seem to still be reading and writing it after everything.
3. Gwen/Morgana, because it's unspeakably adorable.
4. John/Rodney, because the fanworks are amazing.
5. Merlin/Arthur, because everyone on the show ships it.

Top five Martha moments

Gratuitous picspam time!

sunnyrea asked for my top five good LGBT moments. Seeing as Whoverse is my only real fandom with canon gay to speak of, we'll stick to that.

Top five queer moments from New Who/Torchwood

1. Jack. Waltzing onto my screen in May 2005 and being a big damn hero and travelling in the TARDIS and being evidently queer from the moment we laid eyes on him. My closeted younger self was very grateful.

2. The wives from 'Gridlock' with their record-keeping and knitting, they were delightful.

3. The Jack/Ianto kiss from 'End of Days'. That was pretty cool.

4. The bar scene from 'Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang', because it's such a fun homage to all those old rivals meeting scenes, all the tension crackling underneath, and because this is Torchwood, they really do make out and then punch each other in the face.

5. Martha's question to Riley in '42' about whether he has a girlfriend or a boyfriend, because sometimes it's the absurdly small, simple stuff.

Top five bad guys

1. The Cylons, BSG.
2. The Master, Doctor Who.
3. Nimueh, Merlin.
4. Gul Dukat, Star Trek DS9.
5. Bellatrix, Harry Potter.

(accidentally in a relationship! heee. :D also, OH, R/S. *____* thank goodness for dogdays!)

Bodyswap made me laugh because oh, god, YES. I love it, far, far more than is healthy.

[such_heights]

:D I have a type, and it is bffs who don't realise they're in love! Also, yes, must get on writing some dogdays at some point, the prompts are so shiny. <3

[such_heights]

Haha, yay! It's SO GREAT.

1- We have just about the same 4 out of 5 top pairings! LOL Or at least they'd be in my top ten as I have about a bazillion fandoms. but still LOL

2- Love the Martha pick up the chair and "i'm not leaving" moment too!

4- Omg yes to the question for '42' such a perfect little moment that I love. I'm also fond of the "we can have a good flirt later" from The Shakespeare Code

5- Fuck yes Gul Dukat!!!!!

Eee, gratuitous Martha picspam. ♥_♥ That scene on the balcony is one of my very favorite New Who scenes.

Yay Martha!
I love her in that scene you've got number two (and confess to not recognising 1 or 5).

I need to write my Original!Jack/Archie fic.

I have to comment here so I can use my Martha hero pose icon.

I 100% agree with you about Merlin/Arthur and Gwen/Morgana.

And I love the Martha picspam - those are great moments. Especially her reaction to Jack/Ianto - she totally ships it. :p

[fly-to-dawn.livejournal.com]

Oh Martha, you are so awesome! I adore the first, when she just laughs in the face of evil...♥ Lovely picspam :)

2. Jack/Ianto, because I seem to still be reading and writing it after everything.

Aww, yeah. :">

[such_heights]

She totally does! Oh, Martha. <3

[such_heights]

I am so glad we are in accord! :D

[such_heights]

Hurray! It is so, so lovely, all of her determination and wonder.

[such_heights]

:D :D :D

[such_heights]

Hee, thanks! :)

[such_heights]

1 is the moment where the Master's about to kill her on the Valiant and she reveals what she's really done. 5 is from TW's 'Reset' when she's talking to Ianto about Jack.

I approve of that icon very much, yes!

[such_heights]

It's such a wonderful moment - she has no guarantee that she's going to make it out alive, but it doesn't matter. She knows she's won.

[such_heights]

Apparently I'm not letting it go any time soon. :)

(totally late to this but I just have to say)

OMG GUL DUKAT I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER FOR THAT. I love that he was the bad guy for the ENTIRE series and never got boring. I even liked him sometimes. He was the besssssst.
