fandom_memes Strikes Again!
Feb. 16th, 2008 07:28 pmDouble the memes, double the pleasure. They're both "pick ten characters, answer the questions" type. The first one was 17 and specified one fandom, so I did BTTF:
1. Lorraine Baines
2. Marty McFly
3. Clara Clayton
4. George McFly
5. Jennifer Parker
6. Doc Emmett Brown
7. Biff Tannen
8. Linda McFly
9. Goldie Wilson
10. Marlene McFly
1. If 10 was of the opposite gender, who from the list would he or she date?
If Marlene was – *SNORK* Now I’m really glad I kept her on the list! We really don’t know much about Marty’s kids, though, especially as regards to dating preferences. And a number of the people listed are relatives of some sort. Assuming she’d be straight as a boy (*giggle*), the only real option is Clara Clayton. Which I suppose makes sense, given I do usually ship Marlene with Jules. (I’m very much in favor of Marty and Doc ending up related in some manner.)
2. If 7 and 3 went to see a movie together who would pay, and what snacks would each want?
If Biff and Clara went to see a movie together? I can’t see that happening, but whatever. I imagine Clara would be VERY insistent on paying her own way to make sure Biff knows it’s not a date! As for snacks – Clara would probably go for plain old popcorn and butter, while I’m sure Biff’s the kind to load up on the loudest-sounding candy he can find. (He just SEEMS like the type of person to slurp soda and crunch snacks and yap on a cellphone in a theater.)
3. If 8 was your parent what would he/she leave you as a family heirloom?
If Linda was my mom? I dunno – a lifetime supply of eye shadow? Or maybe some clothing – she does seem to dress nicely in the good reality.
4. Describe a pair of socks 1 wears on a regular basis.
I think Lorraine just wears regular old ankle-high white socks. Can’t see her in anything funky.
5. If 2 and 4 got into an argument what would it be about? How would they settle it?
Marty and George arguing? For Twin Pines, it would definitely about George’s lack of confidence, and it wouldn’t really be settled – Marty would just leave in a huff, and George would feel all guilty and indecisive and stuff. For Lone Pine? I can really see them getting into an argument over the remote control (sci-fi show versus MTV) and it ending with Lorraine taking it away and making them watch a soap opera with her. :p
6. If you could change any one thing about 6, what would it be?
About Doc?! Hmmmm. I pretty much like him as he is. Though he needs some lessons in being a little less obvious. Those little appearances with the DeLorean and the Time Train in public areas – well, I love you, Doc, but you’re going to get caught one of these days. You gotta be a bit more careful during your “Look at me, I’m a genius” moments, sorry. (Not that you should stop them entirely, mind.)
7. If 5 and 9 got stuck in an elevator together with nothing but a deck of cards, bag of pretzels, and sandwich for 2+ hours, how would they pass the time, which one of them brought each item on the elevator, and what would 10 say/think while watching the surveillance video?
If Jennifer and Goldie got stuck in an elevator for a couple of hours? I’m sure they’d eat the sandwich and the pretzels and play some card games. Maybe Goldie and Jennifer would end up discussing some of his policies too. I say Jennifer brought the cards and Goldie brought the sandwich and pretzels for his lunch somewhere. I imagine Marlene would think it was pretty cool her Mom got to meet the old Mayor, even if it was under fairly weird circumstances.
8.Would 7 risk his/her life for 4?
Would Biff risk his life for George? Nope. Biff would point and laugh at him. And would probably be responsible for whatever mess George is in.
9. How would 6 act when drunk, what's their drink of choice, and would 10 make sure nothing happens to the intoxicated 6?
Another good one – Doc just plain falls over when he gets drunk. The man cannot hold his liquor at ALL. His drink of choice appears to be sarsaparillas, according to Part 3. No alcohol for him! Well, unless he just had a depressing breakup. And yeah, of course Marlene would take care of Doc – he’s her dad’s best friend, so I’m sure they have a friendly relationship. And besides, Marty would kill her if she didn’t.
10. If you dropped by 3's home unexpectedly what would it look like?
Dropped by Clara’s place? Well, her little cabin in the movie looked fairly neat and tidy when Doc came over, even given the late hour. I imagine it would be fairly clean, and you’d probably see some Jules Verne books or her telescope around someplace. Possibly some grading for her schoolwork.
11. What will 2 do after their goals are accomplished?
Marty? Well, his major goal is to be a rich rock star, so I imagine he’d retire, live off the royalties for his songs, and make sure he, his family, and his loved ones are all taken care of. Probably go out and do little concerts or stuff for the fans every so often too.
12. 1 loses their memory(how did it happen?), and 8 has to take care of him/her. 8 has always had a crush on 1, and 1 ends up falling for 8 while being cared for. 8 knows 1 is engaged to 5, and that the two are engaged to be married when 5 returns to the country. What happens when 5 returns?
Lorraine loses her memory (getting bonked on the head seems to be a theme in BTTF for her son, so maybe that happened to her), and Linda has to take care of her. Linda has always – wait a minute, meme, that’s her DAUGHTER! Come on, the Marty/George slash is bad enough! And who’s Lorraine supposed to be engaged to – JENNIFER?! My God, it’s the lesbian threesome of Marty’s nightmares. Yeah, I imagine that when Jennifer returns, that’s when Marty wakes up screaming. If I must give a serious answer, I do imagine there’d be an argument between Linda and Jennifer – Linda seems a bit boy-crazy, and would probably be reluctant to give up on a love. Hopefully a guilty conscience will make her give Lorraine up. (EW EW EWWWW)
13. 7 sees a stranger getting mugged, does he/she continue walking or help in some way?
Biff? Biff would probably be the one DOING the mugging. I mean, look at Buford and Griff. At any rate, definitely someone to walk on by.
14. 6 and 4 sing a duet, which song do they perform?
Doc and George do Karoke night together. Frankly, I’d like to hear them do the “Star Wars Cantina” together. :p (“In a galaxy far far away, Luke has had a lousy day”) Oh, or “White and Nerdy” by Weird Al! :D
15. If 9 were an animal what would he/she be?
If Goldie were an animal. . . . I see him as a horse or a donkey for some reason – friendly and hardworking, but not afraid to stand up for himself with a few kicks. And I imagine he’d have yellowed teeth. ;)
16. 3 knows 1 and 9 like each other, even if they won't admit it. 3 enlists the help of 8 to set them up. What are their plans, and do 1 and 9 fall for it? Are the plans successful in getting the two to realize their feelings?
Clara knows Lorraine and Goldie like each other, and enlists Linda to help set them up. Okay, I dub this the crackfic meme. I imagine they’d set it up that Goldie would have to rescue Lorraine in some way – like have him stand up to Biff for her. Lorraine would be more likely to fall for it, since she seems to fall in love with boys on a regular basis. (Look at Part I, she’s definitely a bit boy-crazy – probably where Linda gets it from). Goldie, I’m not so sure of. He’d probably feel pretty awkward for a while. Especially since, if Linda’s involved, Lorraine’s a MARRIED WOMAN. Poor George. :(
17. 2, in a rush to start his/her first day of work, accidentally spills their coffee on 5 while leaving the crowded shop. 2 quickly apologizes, offers to pay the dry cleaning bill, and leaves. 5 turns out to be 2's new boss. What is their first conversation in the office?
Marty, in a rush to start his first day of work, accidentally spills coffee on Jennifer, and Jennifer turns out to be his new boss. I imagine Marty would apologize again for the coffee incident, and Jennifer would accept and tell him that it’s not going to count against his performance. All with great amounts of UST in the air, since they’re canonically boyfriend/girlfriend. ;)
This next one was allowed to be multifandom:
1. Victor Van Dort
2. The Mad Hatter
3. Doc Emmett Brown
4. Lupin Madblood
5. Gilgamesh Wulfenbach
6. Emily the Corpse Bride
7. Alice Liddell
8. Clara Clayton
9. Lovelace
10. Agatha Heterodyne
1. 5 and 9 are in a sporting event for charity, what event do they participate in? For what charity?
Gilgamesh and Lovelace are in a sporting event for charity. Well, Lovelace is a holographic projection if she has a body at all, so it would have to be something that allows for that. I can see them boating together, or flying – Gil’s good at that. The charity would have to be something involving computers, given one’s a technological mad scientist and the other IS a computer – maybe something that funds giving them to schools in need.
2. If you could be 3's best friend for twenty-four hours, what would you spend the day doing?
Dockie! Stick him in the lab and watch him go! :D And demand a time trip, of course. Maybe go visit Victorian England for a little bit or something. Or go see some favorite movies on the big screen.
3. Is 8 more of a cat or a dog person?
Clara? I dunno, but I hope she’s a dog person. After all, Doc is. She and Einstein seem to get along all right, so yeah, dog person.
4. Create a live journal name for 10.
Agatha, eh? User name hboysheir, maybe? Or dingbotgirl? Realheterodyne? (No, not girlgenius, too obvious.)
5. Out of 7 and 4 who would make a better preschool teacher? What type of games and activities would they do?
Alice and Lupin. ALICE AND LUPIN. Those kids don’t stand a chance either way. I’m going to have to go with Alice – I may use the American McGee version, but she’s trying to HELP most of the kids in Wonderland. At the very least, they’re never anybody she has to kill. Lupin would most likely destroy the school with his robots – and, frankly, he doesn’t seem the type to suffer little children gladly. As for the schoolwork, I imagine Alice would do lots of storytimes and riddle games. And card games. ;)
6. Where would 6 like to spend an extended weekend?
Emily the Corpse Bride? Whatever’s the most popular wedding location at the moment. :p I think she cares less about where to spend it than with who (Victor, naturally.)
7. 9, 4, and 8 have three seats in a row on an airplane; who gets the window seat, the aisle seat and the middle seat? What do they discuss?
Lovelace, Lupin, and Clara have three airplane seats together. Lupin obviously doesn’t care about the scenery, since he shot himself out of a canon once, so he’ll take the aisle. Lovelace’s holographic projector goes next to him, and Clara gets the window. I don’t think they’d talk much, but I can see Clara showing some interest in his inventions and talking literature with Lovelace. Maybe they’d all discuss Jules Verne.
8. Write a haiku that 1 might write for 10 (5, 7, 5 syllables)
That Victor might write for Agatha? Hmmm:
You build inventions
That scare me more than a corpse
Bride ever could, Miss Agatha.
(I'm not good at haiku!)
9. Out of 2 and 7 who would you rather perform a talent show with? What would be your talent?
The Mad Hatter or Alice Liddell – LoL, well, they’re both from the same canon. . . . I’ll go with the Hatter, he’s pretty interesting. I get the feeling he’d make a good magic act – pretending to saw people in half and stuff. Or we could demonstrate one of his robots, though that would probably wreck the venue. (Alice – knife-throwing demonstration. No question about it.)
10. 3 finds a wallet with two hundred dollar/pounds/etc with ID; what does s/he do?
Doc finds a wallet? Well, Doc’s not exactly the poster boy for ethics, but he’s a generally good person, so he’d locate the person on the ID and return the wallet. After all, he was upset with Marty for trying to gamble with future information – I doubt he’d steal money. (Hijacking a train, on the other hand. . . .)
11. What is 1's greatest fear?
Would it be unsporting to say “everything?” Victor’s twitchy. . . . I think his greatest fear is not living up to expectations. I mean, look at him – he’s so shy and worried about hurting both Victoria and Emily in the movie. He’s probably had it drummed into his head that he’s got to measure up, otherwise he’s not worth anything. Doesn’t it just make you want to give him a hug?
12. 5 was just arrested for ____, would 2 bail them out of jail?
Gil was just arrested for – property destruction seems the best bet, he IS a spark. Probably an experiment raged out of control. Either that or he zapped someone with his lightning wand. As for the Mad Hatter bailing him out – I suppose it depends on how he felt that day. If he needed another tea party guest, sure.
13. 6 decides to throw a party, what are they celebrating? Is the party a success?
Emily decides to throw a party – well, what else could it be? She’s celebrating getting married! And as long as her current boyfriend doesn’t have a living fiancé, I imagine it would be a success. The Land of the Dead knows how to throw a shindig! :D
Okay, now I ought to get to work on real fanfic. *wonders when she'll see these on Moose's* Incidentally, Moose, your Mr. Darcy and his Elizabeth Bennett made a list of top 26 Fictional Couples -- HIS NAME'S FITZWILLIAM?! *gigglefit*
