Canon Love
Aug. 20th, 2011 02:17 pmI just spotted this meme and I like it. I'm about to head out to see about finding ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dodger_sister so I'll answer these when I get back. Life is looking up as some money things were sorted and I keep hearing about wonderful things that will be happening in California as my family is awesome.
Also at some point I need to write something longer about this article on Boys and Reading in the NYTimes, because forced gendering isn't the right answer. Good books and presenting as many avenues as possible to reading is what helps-ebooks, audio books, graphic novels and not making it about boys and girls reading. Instead making it about good books and safe spaces for kids to get interested in reading.
1. Give me a canon (or character from a canon)
2.And I will you FIVE things that, in my opinion, make that canon super special shiny and awesome. They may be characters, crowning moments of awesome/funny/heartwarming, particularly epic music or animation, or just things that make me out and out squee every time.
(Or, because it sounds a little hilarious, I can even attempt to take it meta for you. Give me a character and a canon, and I will tell you from that character's pov what their five favorite things about a specific canon [theirs or any other] would be.)
