A meme, stolen in the usual fashion

[thisbluespirit]

Because why not? And I am still extra tired. (Though I really do have hopes of tomorrow now. Or the day after at least. *sigh*) Hopefully this will be in my capabilities and prove cheering! Memed from various flisters:

Name a character in any of my fandoms, and I'll answer these questions:

1. Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character?
2. What’s your favorite trait of this character?
3. What’s your favorite moment/event involving this character?
4. If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be?
5. Have you ever pictured this character naked?
6. When did you fall in love/hate with this character? If you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not?
7. Who’s your OTP for this character, if any?

My answer to 5 is in almost any case I can think of, a resounding: "No, I go to great lengths not to! People should have clothes on!! Clothes are good." or "Yes, *sob* can I have the brain bleach, please?" (Yes. I know. I'm v strange, sorry.) So if anyone wants an alternate question for that, feel free to give me one.

Can I ask for Howl?:) And number 5 would be his favourite outfit, or something along those lines;))

Howl! No, I don't mind at all, although it really is much too long since I've reread it.

1. Howl is one of those intentionally annoying characters, so I think I like him pretty well and find him amusingly annoying/interesting.
2. His vanity is pretty amusing and very characteristic.
3. Hmm. I think there was some stuff that particularly entertained me in the last book as being something only Howl would do, but I've forgotten what it is. I always like the different side of him we see when he's in Wales. (Clearly, I need to reread.)
4. Ha. Well, magic would be useful! (I think I'll do without the vanity and lack of a heart!) Or, actually, maybe the moving castle itself? Yep. Give me a moving castle.
5. I can't remember all the descriptions, but there was a blue and silver one, wasn't there? I like the sound of that, regardless of what Sophie may have done to it.
6. It takes a while to find out about Howl in the book, so I suppose it was pretty gradual - but I think he's pretty entertaining.
7. Howl/Sophie, who else could keep him in line? ♥

I'm pretty sure I've lost the capacity to be annoyed with him by now, after all the re-reads and re-watches :D

I like him v much - I think I just mean that, wonderfully entertaining as he is, I'm aware that in rl, he'd be the sort to drive anybody up the wall! Fictionally, he's marvellous. And I really need to reread all three of the Castle books quite badly.

Oh, that is true! Except it's at times hard to remember that characters one loves in fiction could be more difficult to like as real peopl XD
I've read all the Castle books, but the sequels didn't win me over like the Howl's Moving Castle did, so I'm only rereading obsessively the first part. Do you like all three books?

I love Howl's Moving Castle best, but I haven't read Castle in the Air since I was a teenager, and the third one only once - at the time I was disappointed with Castle in the Air, but really quite enjoyed the third one. I need a re-read to see what I think. I know someone who loves Castle in the Air, and I think I may have judged it unfairly back then. Reading's just a little slow at the moment, though.
