JD AUs: Recently discharged from the military, John Sheridan finds a job working as an investigator for Babylon Insurance. His first case is that of a legendary jewel thief (with a penchant for priceless works of art) - Entil'Zha. John's obsession spans twenty years: it ruins his marriage, his career. After all, how many insurance investigators have dinner with world-renowned thieves? Go on semi-romantic walks? Have priceless works of art (and rare baseball cards) turn up in their apartment? John spends twenty years following Delenn Mir's every move. The day he retires, he finally becomes a thief himself: stealing the Enan Fi (the White Star) as a first date (or twentieth anniversary) gift.

A, B, D, G, Q, U, and Y for the ask game 🩷

Thank you, love <3 And sorry for the long post!

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

Currently I am utterly in love with Adelaide/Marcello (lovingly known as Barberasmo) from Il Paradiso delle Signore. I can’t remember the last time I was this taken by a ship, they fit all my OTP criteria perfectly.

Other ships that are on my mind right now are Helen x Will from Sanctuary and Moiraine x Lan from The Wheel of Time. Both these ships work perfectly as platonic ones, but I also don’t mind seeing them as romantic pairings.

Oh, and not so long ago I had a good cry over Lucy/Flynn from Timeless and what could’ve been, so I guess this ship also counts haha.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

This is a difficult one, hmmm… honestly, nothing comes to mind, sorry!

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

Hmmm… no pairing exactly like that, but the closest thing here would be Lucy/Wyatt from Timeless. But it’s not like I wish I liked it, because yes, despite it being canon and a non-painful version, I dislike it. These two characters were forced into a relationship that does both of them a disservice, and this is the hill I will die on.

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

Currently my list of OTPs consists of 19 ships, so yes, you could say I have had an OTP :) My first one was Marguerite Krux and John Roxton from The Lost World. They are still on my list, as I still love them very-very much.

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

Oh, I have abandonded many fandoms. I suppose I usually just lose interest in a show and leave… it happens sometimes. The most recent fandom I’ve abandoned is probably “House of the Dragon”. I still lurk in the tags, but I am not planning to watch season 2 when it comes out, so technically I am not in the fandom anymore.

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

№ 3 – Delenn of Mir from Babylon 5. I admire her strength, her wisdom, and her compassion. I see her as a wonderful role model, and she has been my inspiration throughout many years.

№ 2 – Helen Magnus from Sanctuary. Well, first of all, I adore Amanda Tapping, and the way she portrays Helen is phenomenal. And, secondly, Helen as a character is so… so… urgh, I don’t even know how to describe her and explain why she is among my favourites. She is just… everything to me. Her curiosity, her genius, her determination to protect the fragile harmony between two worlds (the human one and the abnormal one). Helen is… well, Helen. And I love her for that.

№ 1 – Adelaide di Sant’Erasmo from Il Paradiso delle Signore. Her character journey is incredibly fascinating to follow, and she is definitely the one who is on my mind the most these days. Some of her actions make me want to scream in frustration, but at the same time I find myself enchanted by her complexity when her carefully crafted façade cracks and when we see glimpses of the real her. When we are introduced to her, what we see is a stuck-up noblewoman whose moral compass is kind of questionable, but then we get to know her better, and oh, the layers, the insane amount of emotional and psychological layers that surround this woman… Adelaide di Sant’Erasmo is an absolute gift of a character.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Korean and Chinese dramas are the answer to this one :) My real-life friends love them, and we discuss them sometimes.

Oh, and Farscape. Definitely Farscape. Lots of it on my Tumblr dash.

#thank you for asking <3

Tagged by @araminsoren.

1.) Three Ships: John Sheridan/Delenn of Mir (Babylon 5); Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright (Doctor Who); Buntecreih/Edge-of-Dark (Hellspark)

(Bonus fact about me: I'm the kind of person who will always be tempted to answer "Favourite ships?" by naming sea-going vessels, except that then I remember I don't know that many sea-going vessels.)

2.) First Ever Ship: Shipping isn't a major aspect of my fannish engagement in a way where this is the kind of milestone I remember. I've been thinking back over my early fandoms and not recalling anything I can point to confidently as actively shipping as opposed to just acknowledging a relationship that's part of the text. Possibly Ian/Barbara, depending on where you stand on whether that's part of the text.

3.) Last Song: "Teenage Dirtbag", the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain cover

4.) Last Film: Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part One

(But these days I watch a lot more movie reaction videos than actual movies; the last movie I re-experienced that way was The Shawshank Redemption.)

5.) Currently Reading: The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, Vol. 3, and four of those classic literature serial mailing lists (Letters from Watson, Wildfell Weekly, Kidnapped Weekly, My Dear Wormwood)

6.) Currently Watching: No scripted shows at the moment, though I'm intending to get started on Pluto when I can get a moment. (And I'm quasi-rewatching Doctor Who and Babylon 5 by way of following someone's reaction videos.) If game shows count, then Taskmaster, Only Connect, and Have I Got News For You.

7.) Currently Consuming: I could do with a glass of water, thanks for reminding me.

8.) Currently Craving: Nothing's coming to mind.

I don't like putting pressure on people, so if you see this and would like to be tagged, consider yourself tagged.

1 and 13 for the female characters asks

*rubs hands together*

Putting this under a cut, because it's going to be LONG...

1 - Protagonists

There are... WAY more than 5... but I will pick 5 for whom I can easily articulate why.

In no particular order:

Fanny Price (Mansfield Park by Jane Austen) - People like to call her "the boring one" or "the forgettable one", but she's actually my favorite Austen heroine. Here's why: she shows us that strength of character doesn't have to be bold or forceful or charming or witty to be worth something; integrity can be quiet and meek and humble and still win. And even if she hadn’t received any recognition for doing the right thing - or won the guy's heart - in the end, it still would have mattered to her that she did what was right. I've always related deeply to Fanny's internal struggle to balance her fierce sense of justice with her gentleness of spirit, and, out of all of Austen's heroines, I admire her the most.

Delenn of Mir (Babylon 5) - Delenn is one of the fictional characters I relate to on the deepest, most personal level. At her core, she is genuinely one of the most gentle, kind, compassionate, empathetic, wise characters on television, but as the series goes on, we see that there are incredible depths to her dark side as well. As we gain insight into her past, we learn that she has a disturbing capacity for selfishness and anger and violence, but she chooses to exercise compassion and diplomacy and selflessness instead; as a result, she is deeply respected and trusted by everyone who knows her. She still makes mistakes, but she learns from them, and I love the beauty of her complexity.

Kara Danvers (Supergirl) - I've never been a big DC person, tbh, until the Arrowverse shows were created, and then I got thoroughly and completely sucked in by Arrow, Supergirl, and Superman & Lois (the last of which is apparently no longer part of the Arrowverse... but I digress). What I love about Melissa Benoist's portrayal of Kara/Supergirl is the fact that she is unfailingly kind and good and optimistic, while still having depth. It's very easy for characters like that to remain one-dimensional, but, despite her cheery optimism and dedication to choosing kindness and goodness, we also see her grappling with a heavy burden of guilt because she can't fix everything and save everyone... a dilemma I can relate to, even if her outgoing, go-getter, peppy persona is a bit beyond my realm of experience.

Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery) - Anne was one of my earliest fictional faves, and probably the first fictional character I related to on a deep, personal level. As an adult, I can see now that she is very clearly (albeit not knowingly) autistic-coded, but, as a kid, all I knew was that this character thought and felt just like me; she daydreamed constantly, her imaginary world was always bleeding into reality, she felt everything so intensely and so deeply, and everyone thought she was peculiar. Anne taught me that it was okay to be who I was, and that the people who truly loved me would love me for who I was, without trying to change me.

Lydia Martin (Teen Wolf) - Lydia's character arc is honestly one of my favorites in all of television, and one of the best in the show. She begins the series pretending to be something she is not - a ditzy, bitchy, cold-hearted, two-faced, party-throwing, nymphomaniac - and ends the series comfortable in her own skin and confident in who she truly is: an actual genius, one of the "good guys", a badass banshee, and deeply, painfully, beautifully human. She learns to face her insecurities with vulnerability and grace, rather than cover them up with make-up, and she proves herself to be unbelievably strong and resilient when faced with unspeakable horrors and fear. I just love her so muuuuch.

13 - I wish had better development/writing

Daenerys Targaryen (ASOIAF/Game of Thrones): *side-eyes Benioff and Weiss so hard my eyeballs pop out of my skull* They ruined her. They destroyed her. That last season of GoT was honestly one of the most upsetting examples of character assassination I have ever had the misfortune to witness, and I will never forgive them for it. DRACARYS. If we ever get the rest of the ASOIAF books - and that's a BIG "if" - Mr. Martin had better do her justice... OR ELSE.

Eowyn of Rohan (LOTR movies) - I was disappointed with Eowyn's character development in Return of the King. The film made it seem like she meets Faramir as she's recovering from her battle wounds and then just sort of... fades into the background, which feels so bizarrely anticlimactic after she played such a vital role in defeating the enemy on the battlefield. In the books, we see her realizing, after the war is over, that what she thought she wanted - to be a warrior and fight and live a life of glory - could only lead to loss and death, and it ultimately leaves her empty. She decides to dedicate the rest of her life to rebuilding and rebirth, as her uncle gave her stewardship of Rohan before he died. There's something subtly powerful and beautiful about her character arc to me, and the movies just didn't do a very good job of showing it.

Caroline Forbes (The Vampire Diaries) - I adore Caroline. She is my favorite character from TVD. However, I hated hated HATED her ending. She has such deep-seated insecurities about love and relationships throughout the series, and then, after bouncing her around from love interest to love interest, they finally give her "true love" and have her marry Stephan (ugh)... only to KILL HIM OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. Why couldn't they just let my girl be happy?! I will be bitter about it forEVER.

Raven Reyes (The 100) - Another favorite who was unfairly treated by her writers. I loved Raven's early storyline around her injury and subsequent permanent disability, because it's not often that you see 1) a disabled TV show protagonist, much less 2) a disabled TV show protagonist dealing with depression and chronic pain as a result of their disability. That aside, Raven, like Caroline Forbes, was bounced around from love interest to love interest (all of whom die) and then ends up alone, which is one of her greatest fears and most deep-seated insecurities. She has her found family (well... what's left of it, anyway) to live out her days with, but it still left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Bella Swan (Twilight by Stephenie Meyer) - It is very possible for Mary Sue characters to be done well... but Bella is NOT one of them. She is honestly one of the most boring book protagonists I have ever read, and her movie counterpart is no better. Edward has more personality than she does... and that is a low, LOW bar. She had the potential to be interesting - I like the fact that she tells Edward she wants to become a vampire for herself, not for anyone else, because she feels like she was meant to become one and it feels right to her - but most of her potential was wasted and never explored. One of the perks of the main character being so, unbelievably bland is that the side characters are all fascinating by comparison... so at least she's got that going for her, I suppose?

Send me a number and I'll write out my top 5 fictional women.
