Friday nights are tricky. They're a combination of freedom from work and having to get up, and having to try to schedule around various soaps and late-night comedy. But anyway.
( Wittering about Cape Fear )A few weeks ago there was Post About Your Favourite Female Characters Day, and I did not post anything for it or indeed join in with anyone else posting about it. Today I tried to make a list of my favourite female characters, based on characters I love and characters I wouldn't mind or would want to read fic about on their own. I'm not sure entirely what I came up with, but here it is, along with any others I remember while I'm typing:
- Debbie Dingle (Emmerdale)
- Stacey Slater (Eastenders)
- Perdy Hyde-Sinclair (Emmerdale)
- Wednesday Addams (The Addams Family, films)
- Violet Baudelaire (A Series of Unfortunate Events, book series)
- Raksha Keller (Witchlight, Night World book series)
- Mazikeen (Lucifer, comic book series)
- Lucille Bluth (Arrested Development)
- Lindsey Bluth (Arrested Development)
- Maeby Bluth (Arrested Development)
- Ann Veal (Arrested Development)
- Rita-Sue Dreyfuss (Carnivale)
- Selena (28 Days Later - it was going to be another character she played, Tia Dalma, but we all know how that turned out in film 3)
- Juliet Darling (Dirty Sexy Money)
- Letitia Darling (Dirty Sexy Money)
- Selena Coombs (American Gothic)
- Heaven's Fall Sword (Seven Swords)
- Fang (Seven Swords)
- Valerie Lambert (Emmerdale)
- Tara Maclay (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
- Bad Wolf (Doctor Who)
- The Wire (Doctor Who)
- Trixie (Deadwood)
- Niki Sanders (Heroes)
- Drey (Half Nelson)
- Eleanor (The Fire Sword)
I know that I have more than this. I have a big list in my old notebook, but I'm not looking at it yet. I know for a fact I have more fandoms than these. My mind has just gone a bit blank. There are also girls I love who clearly need another woman looking after them, and female characters I thought were great but just don't personally love, and various others, but this is my list.
( In which I go into detail )There's also a meme, which I'm stealing from

You're in a shopping centre and zombies attack. You can choose a weapon (with unlimited ammo), a song to have blasting over the loud speakers, and a famous person (real or fictional) to FIGHT ALONG SIDE YOU.1. I would have to go for a shotgun. It's a classic, it blows things up, and movies and TV have taught me that anyone can use one. Also it's a bit super-cool. If you got skills to go with your ammo, the Heaven's Fall Sword might be a second choice. Probably not great for keeping the zombies at a distance, but pretty win, I think you'll find, my friends. It would totally be the number one way I'd want to keep zombies off my back. Aside from the shotgun.
2. Music is hard. It would have to be something that motivated you and got you fired up, but also kept your mind on the situation at hand. Possibly Souljacker Part 1 by The Eels. Or Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis. Or Where Eagles Dare by The Misfits. Any of these. Maybe they could be played on a loop. I don't know. Just pick whichever one you like best. Music is hard.
3. I'm going to have to go with Sherlock Holmes. He could figure out ingenious ways for us to defeat the zombies and get out of seemingly impossible situations. And having to keep him topped up with morphine and rescue his violin would add drama. Also, you want to see him with a shotgun. You know you do.
And that is my very brilliant and not at all unfeasible plan to escape from a shopping centre zombie attack!
