I'm behind on the memes I've been tagged for. Damn.

Okay.

Dammit. Only five? *whines*

I'm not going to do the obvious, and pick Crowley or Aziraphale. They are among my favourite fictional characters of All Time HOMG, but in my head they are such a unit that it's impossible to seperate them. Slasher or no, they belong to one another. So. My five:

1. Daniel Osbourne, BtVS



Oz is just coolness personified. He's laconic, very intelligent, and an utterly adorable boyfriend. The Pez witch! Okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time... It'd eventually get frustrating, the monosyllabic mode of speech, but if it's just a shag? Hell, yeah.

2. A Knight's Tale's Chaucer



There had to be one Paul Bettany character, and Chaucer is arguably one of the more sane. He's erudite and poetic, takes things very much in stride, and is utterly unselfconscious when naked. Which is just such a great character trait. (See Mal, in Firefly. XD) I would, however, worry that he'd shout "GOD, I'm good," after.

3. The Marquis de Carabas, Neverwhere.



The Marquis just is sex. It's difficult to explain. I haven't seem the TV series yet, so my character picture is entirely formed by the book and... he's like Crowley. Very much like Crowley. And he lounges. And he snarks. And... just GUH.

4. Captain Jack Sparrow



*eyes picture* I'm sorry, you need more explanation than that?

5. Gainel, the Immortals Series



Little piddly picture. *grins* I don't know why I imagine Gainel as Rufus, but I just do. Nor do I know why he's so hot. There's just something about silent characters.

This, of course, only applies today. Tomorrow I'll have changed my mind, as ever.

Tagging whoever wants it. :D

When I did this meme, I picked Jack Sparrow for one of the fictional people I wouldn't sleep with. I would be afraid that he has a plethora of disgusting venereal diseases.

*giggles*

I think Johnny decided he had syphillis...

It's not stated anywhere in the film, so I cheerfully deny. XD

[kleenexwoman.livejournal.com]

Heh, syphilis seems about right. I wonder if anyone's written a fic taking this into account?

[chains-of-irony.livejournal.com]

Mmm, the Marquis. The way you write him is sex. (I love how you picked a Lestat picture for his icon in the bar. Lestat, the Marquis and Crowley are all very similar.)

I would totally go for all those people. :D Well, I don't know who the Gainel person is, but you can tell me and then I will, and also I tend to agree on the silent characters thing, so I'm putting him on the list in advance. :)

It's been some time since I last watched the TV series, but ... sex. Yes. He's even hotter onscreen than in the book, IMO, but then I didn't find text!Marquis particularly attractive -- not my choice of archetype.

Sophie came up with the Lestat icon, say sorry. I've never actually seen/read anything Anne Rice-y. I intensely dislike the woman.

I'll have to bring him in again, I think. XD

Gainel is the god of dreams in Tamora Pierce's Immortals series. He's half-immortal and half-chaos. He's described as rail-thin, with fog-coloured hair and eyes that are... deep. Like maybe if you look right you might see stars. He fades into the shadows, even when he's directly beneath a light. He speaks mind-to-mind with other gods and immortals, but he can't speak to mortals unless they're dreaming.

He was one of my first fictional crushes. XD

It's the frock coat. It gets to me.

*grins*

I have never quite managed to get hold of the TV series, but I think it would help. Because although I get Neverwhere squee every time I ride the underground, there's a part of me that associates the look of the book (in my mind, at least) with Bath. Or the Bath you can see from a train window.

That's what you get for looking up at the wrong time when you're travelling home. XD
