(meme)

So I have concrud for the third time this year (my life, you guys! so hard! cons are so exciting and multiply amazing and infectious!) and so I steal a meme from alpheratz:

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in comments. (examples: "Five Dates X Regretted Going On," or "Five Fannish Gatherings that Y Attended"). I'll answer with a list of five things.

Fandoms: Welcome To Night Vale (quelle surprise), M*A*S*H, Cabin Pressure, Vorkosigan, Sports Night, etc., but the whole list is here and I'm usually happy to write most of them.

Re: five friends Carlos makes in Night Vale

YES I WAS SECRETLY HOPING FOR CARLOS BEING SCIENCE AND LEARNING FRIENDS WITH TAMIKA WITH THAT PROMPT

YOU ARE THE BEST

*ahem*

These are all lovely, though. I especially like the idea of Carlos having quiet tea with Old Woman Josie and relaxing just enough to not itch for a hazmat suit anymore (right before the Erika shows up). Plus your Erika characterization (be not afraid!) is hilarious and awesome. And the terrifying manner in which the Glow Cloud loves him! These are just GEMS. And I like how they end with Carlos being the blase tea-making one, bless.

<3 yaaay, you liked it! I'm sort of convinced now that Erika is basically a giant arsehole who goes around manifesting and shouting "BE NOT AFRAID!" at every possible inappropriate moment.

everyone jumps whenever zie comes into the room and then mutters, "Fuck, Erika, will you STOP THAT already."

"Angels always get the best lines
'Fear not' must have worked back in biblical times
But we're full of the facts; it's the cross on our backs
When we pray are we just closing our eyes?"

From this (turn about fair play). And heh, I am so glad to share a name with an obnoxious angel.

That's awesome! Thank you for that. :) Also I did not know your name was Erika! Hello Erika. (Some of the angels called Erika might not be arseholes? Here's hoping. :P)

It's Erica with a c, so perhaps that makes the difference, angel-wise. :)
