Morbid Thoughts and Fictional Men to Shag

[misscam]

Morbid thought at one a.m - who would truly miss you if you were gone? How much do we affect the people around us, truly? The human will to survive is great. People around us are torn away, but we learn to live with the holes.

I have no idea why I'm even thinking about this, but maybe the recent terrorism attacks in Britain have left a certain grip on me too. It'll probably pass, but meanwhile I have a cold sensation at the back of my neck. It's not quite fear and not a preminition, just a feeling of bad things coming. Bad things always come eventually, but it usually doesn't trouble me in the now. What was, was and what will be is still being shaped. So why am I feeling this now?

The first traces of autumn, maybe, which always bring a certain sense of change. Perhaps I'm growing older and more cynical and think change more of a bad, who knows.

Ah well. What will come, will come and I'll know what it is soon enough.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to list five fictional characters (NOT celebrities) that you would take to bed. You must list the characters name, the fandom they inhabit, and a brief explanation of why you think the horizontal tango would be a worthwhile pursuit. When finished, tag five people to do the meme as well.

Faramir of Gondor (Lord of the Rings) Faramir has a gentle heart, is wise and kind, a warrior not for the love of battle but for the love of what he defends, a fair man, but not without his darkness. He's meant for Éowyn, but that doesn't mean I'm blind.

Warrick Brown (CSI) Hot. Hot, hot, hot. Also smart, good at what he does, musical, with a troubled past, supportive and did I mention hot?

Arnold Rimmer (Red Dwarf) I know, I know, the man is an utter git, cowardly, assy and makes love like a Japanse meal (small portions, but so many courses). And still I want him. I'd train him good too, have no fear.

Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jonses's Diary) In both incarnations, Mr. Darcy is haughty, clever, slightly shy in his own way and gentle behind it. Also amazingly sexy, especially in the wrapping of Colin Firth, who IS Mr. Darcy to me. Mmmm-mmm.

Arthur Dent (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, movie) I'm sad. Though the movie is nowhere near the greatness of the book, movieverse Arthur for some reason hit me in all the right spots. He's just so English. Also cute, ocassionally a prat, knows how to queue and could make me morning tea.

Really, I fancy a lot of Brits.

And I tag: honorh, lady_russell, lotus79, eldamere, adoralyna

ETA: Anyone know of a place for good Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy icons for the movie? (Yes, I have finally seen it. Wheee.) Me wants some. (Really, I should get myself one with Arthur and "Shaggigly British". Oh yes.)

You'd leave a mark on me, if that's any comfort.


And that list is a very, very good list.


Everything is morbid at one a.m. and everything is hilarious at three.

I know that I would miss lots of people. But, at the same time, I doubt that I would be missed. I just don't think I've had that great an impact on people.

I hope you're feeling better. And I hope that this apprehension that currently has you in its hold is quickly dispersed to the winds.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm just being peculiar, though. Happens to us all now and then.

Haven't quite gotten to hilarious yet, though.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I think most of us think like that. I know I do.

I fidn it hard to be gloomy for long at a time, so I suspect it'll pass soon enough. Sometimes it's good to wallow a bit in misery and get it out of your system, you know?

[siraj.livejournal.com]

I'd miss you, to be certain... no more Bush-bashing, no more hatred of Phelps, no more Norweigan sanity for this American... the list goes on.

And you're not the only one who'd be missed... There's a saying: 'For every person you meet, you touch their life. How many people will you touch in your lifetime, that when you're gone, you'll be missed?"

If it's any indication, I've got over a hundred people I can think of... care to make a guess on how many you've touched, how many you've left an impression on?

[saxihighlandck.livejournal.com]

Wow... I have really thought about that but I have an irrational fear about death....

I mean... even now at 18 it's a bit frigthening to me.

Being morbid at 1am is not like being morbid at 3am. It gets worse.

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

Of course we'll miss you. Where else can people from all fandoms, all pairings and all variety of fanfiction quality meet under one livejournal and not set off nuclear armageddon?

And I get most of my breaking world news from your lj, so at risk of me going uninformed about the world for the rest of my life... yes, you'll definitely be missed. (Would also mean no shag-memes. Depressing thought.)

[crystalshard.livejournal.com]

I'd miss you, for one. Albeit that I'm a lurker, I thoroughly enjoy your livejournal and sense of humour.

And nice meme. I may nick it. Depends on how horny I'm feeling. :)

I know that feeling. Struggled with it constantly for most of a year, now down to occational spikes of it. That seems more normal, since I can't think of anyone with any brains or emotional depth who doesn't examine it once in a while. Soon, the sun will peek out again. (hug)

I like the list, but ... Rimmer? He'd need lots of work, but he is amazingly British ...

*considers*

[crystalshard.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah - if you want any of these poor efforts, feel free.

IIRC, bookicons also has some entries concerning both bookverse and movieverse HHTG icons. Maybe you'll find something to your liking there. Or to keep your mind off morbid thoughts in the deep of night. :D

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Sorry! I meant book_icons, of course.

*hug*

Well, to be honest, I'd miss you a lot if you died. I know what it's like to have those kinds of thoughts when you're trying to get sleep - I get them, too, every now and then. And, funnily enough, I once thought that if I died before my mum, I'd feel terribly guilty afterwards. I was half-asleep at the time, but I remembered it in the morning and was oddly amused. I never thought I believed in afterlife.

Anyhow, get a grip, woman, and stop being so bloody morbid!

Tsk, tsk, no cookies for you!

We do seem to have the same taste of fictional men to shag - I'd shag almost the exact same men, 'cept as I don't watch Red Dwarf, Arnold Rimmer would be replaced by Vimes from Discworld. Or, possibly, by Vetinari. *ponders*

And you're not old, you're just... mature.

< 3

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, but touches don't linger. I think we all wish to leave a mark that do, in a way, you know?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid of death - a little wary perhaps, but it doesn't fill me with fear. But then, we all have our different ideas of what is after, which of course impacts it.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm sure someone other than me could bring the shag-memes. Oh yes.

But thanks. :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you. Not the most attractive picture of Arthur though, heh. *hugs poor Arthur*

It's so hard to make pretty icons... This is why slaves are good ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

A week with me and Rimmer would be a new man. *Trust* me.

Yeah, I think we all know the feeling, but it's unusually persistent for once. Hmmm.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Thank ye. I've already found a few places, but one can never have too many.

Re: *hug*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm entitled to a few days of morbid-ness now and then :P:P

Vetinari in bed is a scary thought... in all the good ways.

[erhothwen.livejournal.com]

I think we all have mordbid thoughts around that time in the morning.

And nice shag list. :p

[siraj.livejournal.com]

*Tilts his head, then nods thoughtfully* A point. Well put.

[lilbakht.livejournal.com]

Not that I can really do anything about mutability, but this surely can't hurt:

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! Liked the "queue" addition too. Hee. *gives chocolate*
