June 3 - Inspiring Characters

Next up, having spoken of resonance, I'm asking:

What character has inspired you? Inspiration can be many things. To be better, to pick up a skill, to try a new food, anything.

This one is a toughie for me, because I was constantly tackling encyclopedias to learn new things introduced in books I read, but not necessarily directly because of a character. And I've inflicted several skills I tried to pick up on my original characters, but uncertain if that goes int he other direction.

Fortunately, I'd been warned about Turkish Delight. +g+

So ultimately, I think it comes to being inspired to be better. And I can't pinpoint one. Black Beauty inspired me to look for the best in others (before I became a member of the Certified Cynics). John Carter taught me that I can offer my skills, but ultimately the people around me need to sort themselves out (so don't barrel in with solutions without taking input is the way I modernized that). Moreta made me strive to face challenges with more calm (which honestly helped curb some of my temper for a time).

So as you may have surmised from my posts over the years, I've been a sports fan all my life. I'm pretty well versed in baseball, football, hockey, and used to follow tennis as well, but I've only ever been a playoffs basketball fan, though since the Knicks have been in the playoffs the last couple of years, I've become more familiar with them (I was pretty familiar with the Ewing-era Knicks, because all my college friends were into basketball, and the spring/summer of 1994 when both the Rangers and the Knicks were in the playoffs was pretty memorable), so I didn't actually need this, but I did think it was pretty funny: The Knicks Are in the Finals. Act Like You've Been Here Before. #Go New York go New York go!

ANGEL: I guess Lorne makes some judgments after all. Eve. So I guess we should, I don't know, talk?
EVE: About what?
ANGEL: About what happened back there with us.
EVE: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

June 2 - Character Resonance

Jun. 2nd, 2026 06:51 pm
senmut: Ramoth and Mnementh's mating flight (Pern: Dragons Mating)
[personal profile] senmut
What character, in any kind of media, did you (if you ever did) have the kind of resonance with that is 'I see some of myself IN this character'? (Which is different from aspiring to BE like the character.)

For me? I think it hit me first and hardest with Nerilka. I know others vibe strong with Menolly, but in Nerilka I saw pieces of me. Abuse of neglect, wanting to find a place she could be herself and help others, too mature for her youth? She was very much a resonant character for me.

Angel and Xander drag Evil Willow by the arms into the book cage as Buffy and Willow watch.
GILES: (dumbfounded) It's extraordinary.
WILLOW: (appalled) It's horrible! That's me as a vampire? (Angel closes the door) I'm so evil and... skanky. (aside to Buffy, worried) And I think I'm kinda gay.
BUFFY: (reassuringly) Willow, just remember, a vampire's personality has nothing to do with the person it was.

We are aware of issues with our feeds are on working on it.

It also touches on nature in general, and observations that may effect bird activity such as local weather. Both text and image posts are welcome. Now is a great time to join as hungry birds are easy to attract with a feeder.
