The Guys I Love...

[przed]

For this week's fannish5: What five characters do you find the most interesting and why?

1. Spock. Because he was my first fannish crush. Because he's the geeky, smart outsider. Because his existence helped kept me sane as a geeky, smart, outsider-type teenager.

2. Boromir. Because reading the chapter where he dies in The Two Towers is my most vivid memory from my first time through LotR when I was ten. Because I always love the noble, misguided and doomed guys.

3. Athos. Because he's the musketeer with the mysterious past and the dark secret. Because, as played by Oliver Reed in the 70s movies, he's totally hot.

4. Illya Kuryakin. Because he's another geeky smart outsider, and even more sarcastic than Spock. Because black turtlenecks are cool. Because he's Russian.

5. Raymond Doyle. Because I also always love the violent lads with a streak of conscience. Because he tells the worst jokes. Because he wears the tightest jeans. Because, gods help me, I love the curly hair.

The runners-up: Artemus Gordon, Vila Restal, Richard Sharpe, Batman, Nightcrawler.

You mean you *never* thought of that before???

*shakes head* The parallels, the parallels!

I'd never thought of The Three Musketeers in a slashy way. Until today. And it's all your fault.

(Okay, so I did use a shot of the movie in the Gay Bar vid, but I also used one from Scaramouche and I'm so not going to slash that movie. Well, not the brothers, anyway. Hmmm. No, you're pure evil.)

I accept full responsibility for my innuendo. I will own it and claim it as my very own, and not dump it on the shoulders of others. *g*
