this post brought to you by the letter C and the number 5

[lumy12]

Name five fictional characters and why you like them -- their names must begin with your assigned letter. If you'd like to play, comment and I'll give you a letter!

matchgirl42 gave me C. I just noticed I picked all but one "Ch" name. Huh. My continuing obsession with Party of Five, let me show you it. I'm gonna include images too, because I'm a dork like that, so I'll cut it for your f-list viewing pleasure. Alphabetical order ftw:


1. Charlie Salinger, Party of Five. Portrayed by Matthew Fox.
The "patriarch" of the Salinger clan due to him being the oldest sibling. When the show began in 1994, the kids were 24, 16, 15, 11, and 1. Charlie is one of those characters who was older than me when I began watching the show, and now that I'm looking back he still seems older to current!me, even though 1994!Charlie is 10 years my junior. He's not a model parent by any means -- that's partly the premise of the show. But his mistakes endear him to me. And Charlie/Kirsten was my OTP before I knew what OTPs were!

In the picture on the left, he sports his long Season 1 hair. It's very 90s but I love it! I think the picture on the right might be more recent -- he looks older than he ever was on the show. Hmmm.




2. Chelsea Brady, Days of Our Lives. Portrayed by Rachel Melvin.
I liked her before everyone else did, so :P to all the bandwagoners who like her now! Bwah! Hehe. I liked her when she was a bratty troublemaking little bitch. Partly because she amused me, partly because it was perfectly normal for her to lash out at everyone the way she did due to everything that had happened to her, partly because I saw such great potential in the character... and Rachel Melvin is just so adorable! The guy in the picture is her sweet nerdy ex-boyfriend, whom she hopefully finds her way back to. She pretty much royally messed things up with him but I bet he forgives her. How could he not? She's adorable! (and she's a lot less bitchy nowadays too)




3. Cher Horowitz, Clueless. Portrayed by Alicia Silverstone.
I have a soft spot for whiny characters, what can I say? Yes, she's a naive, spoiled, way-too-gorgeous rich kid, but her heart is in the right place (mostly). And her whining is just so cute -- how could anyone resist her? OMG she's a Mary Sue, isn't she! I love her dad's scrutinizing of the outfit in this picture -- "It looks like underwear!" Heeee. That line always makes me gigglesnort.




4. Christian, Moulin Rouge!. Portrayed by Ewan McGregor.
A dashing, romantic, gorgeous, talented, passionate, singing poet = *SWOOOOON!* Need I say more?




5. Claudia Salinger, Party of Five. Portrayed by Lacey Chabert.
I like this then-and-now photo (er, actually then-and-then by now, heh). She is the one who grew up the most on the show, unless you count baby Owen, who had two actors portraying him (or three maybe if they used twins when he was really little? I know shows do that a lot). It was like watching a kid sister grow up, except, you know, not really cuz it's just TV. Heh. She was the little nerd in the beginning. Her emo scenes in Season 3 always get to me, and this time the stuff in Season 4 reeeeeeeally got to me (maybe just due to my extra-emo-ness of late) -- I just really relate to her and feel overly protective of her. Speaking of protectiveness... the "sexy" photo shoots Lacey's done since the show went off the air kinda bug me! She's the LITTLE girl, she can't be sexy!

And for a little more recent nostalgia... this was me a year ago. Soooo excited. I feel like I'll never be that excited about anything ever again. :( How pathetic.

Ooh, this looks like fun! Letter me, please?

One year ago today I was ... bidding in my first auction on eBay, actually. Not nearly as exciting, but whatever. LOL.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Haha, did your journal archives tell you that?

I had a feeling you'd want to do this meme! I give you the letter L.

[senatorsfan.livejournal.com]

Totally. I don't have that good a memory, haha.

I guess I'm rather predictable when it comes to memes by now! ;) L is a good letter ... L means Lee Adama. XD

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hehe. I secretly wanted B or G ^_^
L is a good letter for you!

(I now feel slightly failtastic cuz I didn't include Chewie on this list. Awwww.)

[senatorsfan.livejournal.com]

I could've done with K, P or A myself. *grin* But L is good too!

(D'aww, poor Chewie. *pets him* But at least you didn't beat him at dejarik, LOL. *watched A New Hope tonight*)

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

P would have been too easy for you! :P

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

Meme!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hehe, yes, my dear memewhore pal! I give you the letter B.

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

OMG, this is like the most impossible letter ever. I've got like...one.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

lol sorry! You can do last names too if you want :)
You could do... Boba Fett!

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

LOL. But I don't really like Boba Fett. I never did understand the fan obsession with him.

The only one I've got so far isn't even someone's real name. It was an alias...on Alias. I'm going to have to use last names, which widens the playing field considerably.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

B was one of the letters I wanted for myself. LOL

You can do books too, if that helps...?

I thought of sooooooooo many Cs I couldn't even use them all!

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

Hee. Nah, it's cool. I'll figure it out. The second I read "B", I thought of like fifteen "D"s. It was ridiculous.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ha! I'll give the next person D in your honor :)

You like Ben Kenobi, right? Heh. Probably not as much as Ewan!Obi, though.

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

I found five on my own, but thanks for the tips! I have awful memory for things like this, so I went through the cast lists of all my favourite shows and found characters I loved with "B" names. Three first names and two last, so I think I'm doing good.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

"You did well, Anakin!"

So, apparently you know the Augie chant because it's from some Olympics thing: "Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oy oy oy!" Heh, who knew.

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

Heeeee.

Actually, I remembered it from a movie a loooong time ago on ABC Family about a hockey player who's reincarnated into a figure skater. I loved that movie.

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

Clearly you should come visit again so you can be excited again. *sage nod*

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Clearly!!! ♥

Do you want a letter? If you do, I give you M :)

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

I might as well play even though you won't know most of the characters I would choose. Hmm... I might have to post images too so you aren't completely clueless.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yay! Images are good!

I give you D. BWAHAHAHA are there even any anime people who start with D? I can't think of any. Good luck!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

How many anime characters do you know of?

I can do D.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Um... the ones you tell me about? None of which begin with D... I think?

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

I can do D.

As someone whose name starts with "D" I find that amusing, my Darling!!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

I didn't even think of that until you mentioned it! I guess still stand by what I said!

[nelliedrum.livejournal.com]

OMG! CLUELESS!

Ah, the good old 90's. Those were much happier times....

Hey, give me a letter, please???

<3

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hehe! "Whatever! As if!"

I'll give you the other letter I was secretly hoping for: G. :)

[bitter-moss.livejournal.com]

I'll play!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yay! You can do R.

[ascendingflame.livejournal.com]

I want to play. Do I get a letter, pretty please :)

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Certainly! You can do S. Have fun!

You want the impossible...

[nelliedrum.livejournal.com]

Sorry master.

Okay, the letter I is impossible.

I tried and failed. I mean...I mean....DID and failed.

I only came up with two charcters, both from Indiana Jones. I searched all my other fandoms, TV shows and books. NOTHING. And there are only two characters in Star Wars that star with the letter I. Both of them are in the freaking EU and I have no clue who they are.

*shrug*

Re: You want the impossible...

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Dude, I gave you S! Check the comment again! It should be easy! (heck, you could do a few Skywalkers and be halfway done!) :P

I bet I could do "I" though if I had to.

[laariii.livejournal.com]

I think Matt Fox looks better old, strange how some people do

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Really? I almost never think that. The younger the better. But that's just me :)
