rogueslayer452If you want a good laugh, then you got to watch the Critical Role cast attempt to do a storytime version of the "telephone" game. The first video was just them testing out the format, just wanting to do something fun, and then the second episode just came out and it's even longer and more hilarious. Basically, we see how everything just derails and their reactions to it, my face hurt from smiling/laughing too much. Which is quite frequent with this bunch. Even though they're quarantined, they're still able to produce such entertaining content, basically just being themselves and making each other, and us, laugh. It's so great, I love these people so much.
And now, a fandom meme to pass the time:

Date: 2020-05-03 08:24 pm (UTC)Favorite character: Camina Drummer, Bobbie Draper
Funniest character: I think, with his matter-of-fact way of being, some of the things that Amos says and does can be viewed this way. Like, considering the dire situation they all find themselves in, it can be quite a relief in some ways of having him being that guy, y'know?
Most attractive character: This is unfair, since many of them are so goddamn pretty. I can't really choose! But for the sake of it, I have to say Camina, Bobbie, and I really find bearded!Holden and bearded!Amos incredibly attractive.
Three favorite ships: Miller/Julie, Camina/Naomi, Alex/Bobbie
Least favorite character: Murtry, though he was designed to be that.
Least favorite ship: I don't think I have one?
Why I started watching it: I heard it was a good scifi show and decided to check it out, considering that I was missing some good scifi television.
Reason why I continue(d) to watch it: Because it really is that good. I was enamored from the moment I started watching it. The storytelling, the visuals, the performances, the direction of the story itself and how the mystery is unraveling, furthermore I liked the attention to realistic science that is featured in the series. It's something that we don't come across very often and it's utilized so well to enhance the storytelling. And really, it's just such a well-made, well-written show, and I love it so much. :)

Date: 2020-05-03 08:33 pm (UTC)Favorite character: Daenerys Targaryen, Oberyn Martell
Funniest character: I can't really remember anyone being funny on the show, so idk.....
Most attractive character: Dany, Oberyn, Khal Drogo
Three favorite ships: Jaime/Brienne, Dany/Jorah, Dany/happiness
Least favorite character: Tyrion Lannister
Least favorite ship: Jon/Sansa,
Why I started watching it: People were talking about it, and I wanted to see for myself what the hype was about.
Reason why I continue(d) to watch it: I mean, initially I was intrigued with where the story was going, but it quickly derailed with the horrible writing and direction and then I stopped watching it, lol. On the flipside, the show did introduce me to the books, so y'know.

Date: 2020-05-03 08:50 pm (UTC)Favorite character: From campaign one, definitely Vex. From campaign two, it's a three-way tie between Beau, Fjord, and Caleb.
Funniest character: Keyleth, from campaign one. It was often very unintentional on her part, but the way Marisha played her made almost every moment very hilarious, creating some of the most memorable moments. But overall, every character has their moments of being absolutely funny in both campaigns, nobody is safe or regarded as being unfunny, both PC and NPCs.
Most attractive character: From campaign one: Vex, Vax, Percy, and Gilmore. From campaign two: Beau, Fjord, and Reani. As for the cast playing the characters, well, they're all pretty so that's unfair.
Three favorite ships: From campaign one: Vex/Percy, Vax/Percy, Vax/Gilmore. From campaign two: Fjord/Caleb, Beau/Reani, Beau/Jester
Least favorite character: I have to admit to not being that fond of Scanlan in the first campaign. I acknowledge his importance, but I just wasn't that enamored with his character.
Least favorite ship: From campaign one: Scanlan/Pike, I just felt like it was very rushed and not well-developed, since it happened at the very last few episodes of the campaign as to just wrap it all up. From campaign two: Fjord/Jester, Jester/Caleb, Caleb/Essek. I just don't get the appeal, at all.
Why I started watching it: I was vaguely curious about some of the things I saw going around, mostly because Ashley Johnson was involved in this little thing and eventually sought out clips on YouTube and then eventually ended up watching a random episode midway through the first campaign to understand what was going on.
Reason why I continue(d) to watch it: It's entertaining, it's hilarious, and the storytelling is captivating. It's basically four/five hours every Thursday night watching these people play their D&D game and it's probably more fascinating than most scripted television. I grew to love the people who play the game and what they bring to it every single time, and it never fails to make me smile.

Date: 2020-05-03 09:05 pm (UTC)Favorite character: Nikita Mears
Funniest character: Birkhoff
Most attractive character: Nikita, Michael, Alex
Three favorite ships: Nikita/Michael
Least favorite character: Percy
Least favorite ship: Alex/Owen
Why I started watching it: I remember seeing the previews for the show and was curious about it. I mean, it was about a kickass woman, so why not? I then learned that it was a reimagined take on La Femme Nikita, just with an Asian lead, and that made me even more interested in watching it.
Reason why I continue(d) to watch it: It sucked me right in, from the first episode. I was intrigued with the story, where things were going, and it even got better once Nikita and Michael were on the run together, and then gaining their little group of them and Birkhoff and Alex. I really enjoyed the show a whole lot, and I'm sure that had it been on another network it would've survived just a little bit more.

Date: 2020-05-06 07:41 pm (UTC)Favorite character: Faith Lehane
Funniest character: Buffy Summers
Most attractive character: Faith
Three favorite ships: Buffy/Angel, Buffy/Faith, Spike/Drusilla
Least favorite character: Xander and Willow
Least favorite ship: Xander/Anya (and Dawn/Xander from the comics)
Why I started watching it: I started watching sometime during the airing of its third season. That's kind of how I operated back then, really, if I caught something that was on television (whether currently airing or a rerun) that seemed interesting I kept on watching. I was in junior high and it was right up my alley (anything dealing with the paranormal, witchcraft, spooky things, and a kickass female lead).
Reason why I continue(d) to watch it: I instantly loved the show, for all the reasons I mentioned above. It just was something that was fitting for me. I liked and grew emotionally attached to the characters and the story. I wanted to see what was up next for Buffy and the rest of them.

Date: 2020-05-06 07:54 pm (UTC)Favorite character: Cordelia
Funniest character: They all had their moments, but I want to say Angel because he's often so stoic and yet sometimes, the things he says, can often be quite humorous without really meaning to. I think this show really brought out how much of a dork he actually is.
Most attractive character: Cordelia, and Wesley in the later seasons when he got gruff and scruffy
Three favorite ships: I don't really know? I didn't have ships on this show, I don't think, at least ones that I felt strongly about tbh.
Least favorite character: I didn't like the addition of Spike in the last season, as it seemed like a cop-out from his sacrifice in the series finale of BTVS and only done to get fans to flock over to Angel. His character didn't change at all, either, making it even more pointless.
Least favorite ship: Angel/Cordelia, Cordelia/Connor, Fred/Wesley
Why I started watching it: It was the spin-off of BTVS. Of course I was going to check it out.
Reason why I continue(d) to watch it: I really liked the tone and mood of the show, which differed from BTVS but was still enjoyable considering what it was focusing on. I liked that we focused more on Angel, and in addition other characters that transferred over from BTVS to this show and got more development that they probably wouldn't have if they remained on BTVS. Which I really appreciated.

Date: 2020-05-06 08:12 pm (UTC)Favorite character: Parker
Funniest character: That's tough, because they all have their moments of hilarity, that's just the nature of the show essentially considering the wacky shenanigans that occur. I want to say Parker because she had such chaotic energy, especially in the beginning. But you could say that about any one of them, let's be real.
Most attractive character: Hardison
Three favorite ships: Parker/Hardison, Parker/Hardison/Eliot
Least favorite character: I can't think of anyone?
Least favorite ship: Idk
Why I started watching it: I can't really remember exactly why I ended up watching the show, to be perfectly honest. I probably thought the show seemed fun and wanted to see how it would progress.
Reason why I continue(d) to watch it: Because it was fun and entertaining. It was that lighthearted heist-type show that was absolutely wonderful in all the right ways. I adored the characters, I loved their dynamic with one another, and it's just an all-around feel-good show. Even when they got into more serious moments, it was still enjoyable and made me happy. :)
