Now that I am awake. 🙂

T – Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

Farscape:

Talyn and Crais Are. Not. Dead. Not dead, can’t make me believe it, don’t care what your stupid canon says. Nope. Nope. *crosses arms, and puts on a mulish expression* Not. Dead.

U – Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

Susan Ivanova, from Babylon 5. And why I love her can be summed up in two quotes.

From early in the show: “On your trip back, I’d like you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra: Ivanova is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova’s recommendations. Ivanova is god. And! If this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out!”

From late in the show: “Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova. Commander. Daughter of Andrei and Sofie Ivanov. I am the Right Hand of Vengeance. And the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart. I am Death incarnate. And the last living thing you are ever going to see. God sent me.”

Elim Garak, from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

He is a lying liar that lies, and yet, there’s always some – or a lot – of truth in what he says. He cares more than he wants to let on even to himself. He’s more than a little interested in Julian Bashir, even if they weren’t allowed to show a relationship between them on screen as more than friends in any obvious fashion. He’s very good at hiding his hurts, physical and emotional. He’s cunning, conniving, intelligent, and dangerous.

Methos, from Highlander.

“I’m just a guy.” – you’re a bloody survivor and a constantly evolving metaphor for humanity, you git.

“I didn’t just kill a hundred, I didn’t just kill a thousand. I killed ten thousand. And I was good at it. I was Death on a horse.” – of himself some three thousand odd years before the present day of Highlander, and pretty much a reference to how it is seen from the vantage point of today, that the time was barbaric, bloody, brutal, and life was short. (and in some places, yes, it probably was, but not everywhere, not even everywhere the Horsemen would have gone in this universe)

“Just because I don’t like to fight, doesn’t mean I can’t.” – when one of his old enemies comes stalking him, he tries to avoid the guy, but then Joe’s daughter gets kidnapped by this old enemy, and Methos isn’t going to let his best friend’s kid get killed, so. And that is the line he says right before he beheads the man, so.

V – Which character do you relate to most?

Hmm.

Boromir, from Lord of the Rings.

Always trying so hard to live up to the person that his father wants him to be, and never giving himself time to rest because of it. Defending his younger brother because no one else will dare to do so against Denethor. Taking the whole damned world on his shoulders, defending against darkness, and falling because of it.

My struggles might not be as epic, but why he does what he does? It feels all too familiar to me.
