between the candle and the star
i. Link o' the day, courtesy of seeing it in the National Gallery and having a good laugh with my parents, Giovanni Emo, by Bellini. "He looks emo!" my mum said, and though I am sad that Signore Giovanni doesn't come with scenester bangs, it's still hilarious.
ii. Hair is cut! Car is mostly unpacked! Room is a complete mess, but I am studiously ignoring it and instead doing my best to mainline the rest of Babylon 5 before I abscond for WisCon. Here's what I'm discovering, to my horror: I think I want to do watchalong meta commentary. For the whole thing. I just love it so much, and am so thinky about it, that I want an excuse to watch it again. And I don't yet know if I have a ficcing urge, but I definitely have a fannish urge, which during the summer -- or possibly for a much more extended period, now that I'm done with school unless and until I want a graduate degree -- also manifests as a write-lots-of-meta urge. Ahhhh.
iii. Relatedly, the clearest sign I am getting dangerously fannish about something: a poll!
I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS SHOW. :D (Except not about s5. Except for the part where I ship Londo/G'Kar every waking moment now. WHAT.)

BABYLON 5!
Who is your favourite character? (I was kind and gave you ticky boxes because choosing only one would be cruel.)

I swear, if I end up watching B5 my friend is gonna punch me in the face. She's been trying to get me to watch it since freshman year of high school and hasn't succeeded. Not that I'm dodging it- it's just there are ten billion other things to watch, some with more pressing deadlines than mid-nineties-era scifi.
And, who else is on that list, by the way? *interested!face*

I ... have never made a formal list, but I do know that the Doctor and Fraser are both on it. Wow, I could make a morality scale with that. It'd be like Fraser---Doctor--------Londo! It would be great! I would kind of like to make a formal list now.
no subject
...I mean, what?
Your morality scale intrigues me, but I find a disturbing lack of Master on that list. Where would he land in comparison to this Londo? And as for list-crafting, DO IT. Only, make it a picspam.
Picspams make everything better.

Okay, this is not to scale and it needs, like, graphs in addition to a picspam (WHICH I WILL SO DO, OMG, although if I put the Master into this favourite character list, it will end up becoming the favourite characters/pairings list, and Kowalski and G'Kar will both end up on it also), BUT, here is the morality scale again, with bonus Master:
Fraser----Doctor-------Londo--Master.
Basically the difference between Londo and the Master is that the Master destroys civilizations for the lols and gets off on the power, whereas when Londo destroys civilizations, he tries very hard to convince himself that he gets off on the power, and then he sits around drinking too much and feeling dead inside. DO YOU SEE WHY I LOVE HIM.
