MEME: What Do You Know About My Canon?

[suitably_heroic]

Hallo, folks!

Hot on the heels of the Tumblr sensation (...well, sensation...) called 'What I Know About Canon X From Reading Tumblr', here's 'What I Know About Canon X From Fandom High'! Which is... basically an excuse for us all to have fun and maybe have a laugh. It works as follows:

1. Tag in with your fandom. Unless someone else already has, in which case it's not terribly necessary. Feel free to be as specific within bigger fandoms as you want (Star Wars: EU, Star Wars: KotOR, etc)!

2. Find other people's fandoms that you haven't watched, played or read, and ping in with what you've gleaned about this fandom from FH! Wild guessing is totally encouraged! For example, what I know about The Mortal Instruments from FH is that it's not actually about daemons, but it might be about demons. Apparently everybody's a bad boy full of tattoos or something. Also, Jace doesn't care about anybody except his own reflection maybe. Also, Cassie Clare.

3. Read everyone else's comments and enjoy.

That's about it! Go.

Dollhouse

[dollpocalypse]

Whee!

Re: Dollhouse

[robinonadderall]

People are named after military phonetic alphabet.

Yep, that's all I know.

Teen Wolf

[robinonadderall]

Re: Teen Wolf

[furnaceface]

I've only seen the first couple of episodes, but I'm gonna participate anyhow.

This is Derek:



Derek is a grumpy boy.

This is Scott:



And Stiles worries that gay guys don't find him attractive.

The Mortal Instruments

[nottrivial]

Sigh. Len was right.

Re: The Mortal Instruments

[wwiii]

Funky tattoos, OH NOES GAY angst, and blatant anti-baseline-human racism!

Also probably some demons in there.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

[suitably_heroic]

First there were some games, then there were some comics... and then there was That Book.

Re: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

[nookiepowered]

Jolee Bindo is old, cranky, and awesome.

Parks and Recreation

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Re: Parks and Recreation

[so_hawkward]

Leslie Knope is the most amazing woman in the world. That is all.

Mass Effect

[fewer_explosions]

Not that I haven't spammed everyone to death with this fandom or anything...

Re: Mass Effect

[bitten_notshy]

* There are parts where you drive through lava or something and Teacup gets stuck and you roll your eyes a lot.

* There are a hell of a lot of weird-looking aliens.

* The main character is named Shepard and can be a man or a woman. Either way, s/he can be shipped with basically everybody. Including some of the weird-looking aliens.

* The superpowers are called biotics. They're caused by exposure to something or other and are really cool telekinetic-type stuff. But they give you migraines, woe.

* The equivalent of warrior/rogue/mage classification is a bunch of words that probably do not mean what I think they mean.

* Joker swears a lot and people like him. But you cannot sleep with him, Tumblr says.

* Kaidan is a nice guy, stoic and has yummy manpain deep in his soul. Also he may be bi.

* Liara is awkward and does not know much about humans. Also she may be gay.

Oh, and also:

* There is somebody named Ashley. She dies. I do not know if she may be LGBT, but I would assume so.

Dirty Sexy Money

[stars_and_money]

Is this the meme where I cackle because I have obscure canons?

Re: Dirty Sexy Money

[endsthegame]

Lots of people are really really rich and a little dumb. But that's okay! Because they're really really sweet people.

Who have too much money.

Way too much money.

Star Wars Expanded Universe

[solo_sword]

Ahahaha this should be good.

Re: Star Wars Expanded Universe

[endsthegame]

SO TECHNICALLY I've read chunks of this, but I haven't read anywhere near all of it. SO.

There's crazy monster people called the Yuuzhan Vong! But they're good now! But they murdered a lot of people first!

A lot of people die in general. And/or lose their limbs. Especially if they're related to anyone called Skywalker or Solo.

There's a bunch of pilots and they're awesome but I can't remember which one Biggs Antilles is. Or is it Wedge Darklighter?

Also Jacen's a dreamer at first but then he becomes a tool, and Anakin is the other way around or maybe not. And there's an awesome amazon girl who loses an arm instead of a boob. And then she becomes a queen. Witches are involved somehow.

No Heroics

[electrocynic]

Like this one.

Re: No Heroics

[bitten_notshy]

It's a cynical take on a world with superheroes,somewhere between Watchmen and Marvel in tone except British. Electroclash is named Sarah and she pretty much has to be a superhero because her parents are, but she doesn't like it. One of her friends can make stuff explode or something but doesn't have good control maybe?.

Discworld

[inaskinnyway.livejournal.com]

Not that you had a BDE from here or anything.

Re: Discworld

[endsthegame]

There's a disk-shaped planet on a turtle! Susan's kind of like Supernanny but related to Death! Death speaks in caps a lot!

... Some people are cops! But zany!

Ender's Game

[endsthegame]

Orson Scott Card and I are not on speaking terms right now.

Re: Ender's Game

[solo_sword]

OSC likes trauma and babies.

The Edge

[nottheshoes.livejournal.com]

Not that I manage to get him out a whole lot, but--

Re: The Edge

[endsthegame]

There's a place that is magic and there's a place that's not magic and then there are some bits in between. Oh, and some people fly dragons! But not everybody.

Scott Pilgrim

[whenshewasnice]

I just ordered the second volume in colour, mmm.

Runaways

[ultron_junior]

Unless Corazon comments first, in which case this was never here.

Wonderfalls

[fates_jaye]

La.

Re: Wonderfalls

[thatwasafreebie.livejournal.com]

Jaye is fate's bitch. Little animals talk to her, and it's actually messages from God. Apparently God likes to make Jaye's life crappy. And she works in a gift shop at Niagara Falls and hates hearing the little animal-things and is gloriously weird even outside the "hears the voice of God maybe" thing.

Final Fantasy XIII / XIII-2

[pulseof_life]

Re: Final Fantasy XIII / XIII-2

[endsthegame]

Yeul dies a lot because of the visions and it's unfair! Also she has a boyfriend who might be the stalkery type.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[life_inshadow]

Is there anybody who doesn't know this one? If so, how do you like your cave in the wilderness?

Re: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[upmysleeve.livejournal.com]

Everyone is gay.

Wait, that's just what I learned from reading UCSL.

Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice & Fire

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

La.

Re: Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice & Fire

[justlurkinghere]

New Amsterdam series

[bitten_notshy]

The Elizabeth Bear books, not the mostly forgotten TV show.

Re: New Amsterdam series

[dollpocalypse]

Also partly influenced by the first, like, forty or so pages of the book:

Jack hangs out with a vampire who has roughly a billion issues and they go on adventures. Buuut their relationship is not super healthy so there are definitely problems. Also werewolves. And maybe they break up as a result of Jack getting werewolfed? Possibly?

United States of Tara

[vanillajello]

Can I just complain about the unfairness of it getting cancelled, again?

Re: United States of Tara

[thatwasafreebie.livejournal.com]

Kate is awesome. Her mom has DID and is off her meds. They live in Kansas. Kate has a brother who is gay. Kate's mom's personalities are batshit crazy.

New Warriors Vol. 4

[furnaceface]

Because I assume there's going to be a LOT of Marvel floating around here, might as well make it specific.

Re: New Warriors Vol. 4

[thatwasafreebie.livejournal.com]

Jono turned blue and wears a kilt. And he's really really not very happy about that because he looks like Apocalypse and Apocalypse is eeeeevil. Also, why is he wearing a kilt when he's British? And he can do sonic attack-things but they call him Chamber instead of, like, Banshee or something else. (Granted, Banshee was taken.)

Wolverine & The X-Men

[genesishero]

Re: Wolverine & The X-Men

[endsthegame]

Evan's really adorable!

... and that's about it. SORRY.

Star Wars: Legacy

[notconflicted]

La la.

Re: Star Wars: Legacy

[endsthegame]

It's in THE FUTURE!! All the Jedi are dead. The Empire is good now. Sith, still evil.

Sia is fierce and Cade is on drugs.

Re: Community

Annie is a huge bucket of adorable flail who used to abuse prescription drugs in what I can only imagine was a scene from Saved by the Bell: I'm so excited! I'm so scared!

Judith Thompson's "Habitat"

[myownface]

Except for like two of you, everyone's impression of Habitat is probably going to be from the game, so I'm curious to see what people make of it.

Re: Judith Thompson's "Habitat"

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Sparkle has Issues, but he's not going to tell you about them. Setting things on fire and taking stuff is okay because other people, generally speaking, kind of suck.
