I have a surprising amount of free time today, thank you timetabling people!
Although I just slept through quite a lot of it, including...breakfast. Again.
Anyway:
Ask me about a character and I'll give you five facts from their personal canon.
Original or fandom, everyone's fair game.

Uh, hi. Guess who started watching Merlin on the plane? Guess who is now hopelessly in love with this show? IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.

Okay Emmy honey you have to pick ONE character. One. I have no doubt I will end up writing a lot of these about Merlin characters.

Well. You have a Gwen icon and she is one of my favorites and I am sure someone else will ask about Merlin and Arthur and their EPIC LOVE (omg I just watched the 4th ep and ARTHUR! Totally risking the peaceful transfer of power to save Merlin's life! Merlin totally risking the wrath of Glinda the Good Witch for copyright infringement to save Arthur!) -wait, was there originally more to this sentence? Oh right, I choose Gwen!

1) Tee has a habit of taking personal offense at the universe. His standard response to anything he dislikes is: THAT'S NOT FAIR.
2) He likes Botticelli women: pale and curvy and long-haired.
3) The three most important people in his life are his sister, his best friend, and...himself.
4) He has an immense capacity for abstract and creative thought, but finds details boring; he's a big-picture kind of guy.
5) He's unfashionably heterosexual. The closest he's come to a homosexual experience was a surprisingly vivid sex dream about one of his coworkers, and a couple of experimental wank sessions following it, but it felt too weird and he returned to lusting after women with a sense of great relief.

PS - your opinion is the one I am most worried about when it comes to that poem, so if you have anything to say about it...please do so? *gnaws nails*

omg yes I will go comment! I will tell you right now that it hit me where I lived, as your poetry always does. ♥

1) He was seventeen when he met Mordred; the prince was fifteen.
2) The single most character-shaping moment of his life was when he realised that his father would have been happier if he had never been born.
3) Nobody has ever bested him in combat.
4) He is a fucked-up little cookie, yes, but he's also got a sly, quirky sense of humour that emerges if someone manages to get past both the facade of impeccable courtesy and the self-loathing simmering below the surface. Nobody save Mordred, however, has ever bothered to probe his personality that deeply.
5) He always struggled to keep his highest allegiances constant: to his god, and to his king. He was unsuccessful.

Also my fannish crush on you has just gained ANOTHER facet. I possibly shoulda warned you that my inner fourteen year old is madly in love with any and all Galahads ;).

Does Galahad know about his father and the Queen?
no subject
He also knows that both Arthur and Lancelot are basically very good people who try very hard to be reasonable, but are incapable of it when it comes to each other & Guinevere.
He likes Guinevere a lot and is deeply sorry for her.
(Basically, Galahad has never hated or thought badly of anyone in his life...except Mordred.)

And then he realised that they were both equally unwanted, equally ill at ease in the Court, and that Mordred's sharp destructive nature fitted all too well with his own desire to to be destroyed.
He hated Mordred because he fell in love with him, and because no matter how perfect Galahad forced himself to be in action and in skill, he couldn't stop loving him. So the central fact of Galahad's life is this: Mordred Pendragon has his allegiance. For understanding him, for wanting to possess him when nobody else would, and for never telling him a lie.
Now I'm trying to find good threads for you! Hmm. Maybe this one (http://garcon-dor.livejournal.com/606.html) and then this one (http://maydaybrat.livejournal.com/9207.html) as contrast.
Whoa. SO LONG AGO. Ashie & I had some good fun :)

b) where'd he get a copy of Les Mis?
c) he's... rather you. In fabulous ways, mind.
no subject
c) ...really? You have to tell me in which ways, because playing Galahad was never as natural as playing Lucifer; he was always a little more constructed.

Galahad's desire to be destroyed? Pls elucidate.
no subject
Galahad's Unwanted Child complex (his mother's suicide and his father's rejection) collided with his inherited tendency to not really deal with things in the most balanced manner possible. He had NO basis for self-esteem or self-worth beyond the fact that he kept pushing himself and pushing himself to be the best...and that didn't do squat to increase his standing in Lancelot's eyes. And then there was the fact that wanting Mordred created a loop of guilt, because he shouldn't have wanted the things he did, but he did, because they finally gave him some self-definition, but the definition was at odds with everything he had striven to achive...
Galahad spent a lot of time at war with the inside of his own head, to be frank.
Try this thread (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/6421464.html)and then this one (http://maydaybrat.livejournal.com/8459.html), they occur directly after each other and cover a lot of the guilt stuff.

1. Marie
2. Thomas Beech (though I suspect we have been through this before)
3. Azula
4. Sakura
5. Thom!
You don't have to do all of these!

NO FAIR NAMING AZULA AND SAKURA, you know I could talk about them until the cows come home. Maybe later.

1) Marie has two smiles: one is deliberate and used for business, and the other (smaller) is involuntary, for when something pleases her. But she hasn't laughed since their parents died.
2) Surprisingly, Marie doesn't blame her father for killing himself.
3) She's probably the most cynical person in the world.
4) She knew sod all about running a business when she opened the Gallows, but found that she had a knack for it. (This has come in handy more than once: Tee was flying blind when he started Blacksheep, and he succeeded mostly due to brilliance, luck, and Marie rolling her eyes and showing him how to do accounts.)
5) If pressed she'd come down as more lesbian than straight, but she has only limited interest in sex.

1) I do not think he has ever driven a vehicle.
2) Nobody can get under his skin and rob him of his practiced calm as easily as his little brother. Michael makes Lucifer want to resort to things like hair-pulling and yelling YOU SPOILED LITTLE BRAT. (He doesn't. Obviously. But oh, he wants to.)
3) In the future: he keeps track of his descendants if they're interesting enough.
4) Ironically enough considering both of their personalities, one of the things he likes best about Thom is his honesty. He hasn't met many other people so willing to own up to the things they want and the lengths they'll go to to achieve them.
5) Fallen!Raguel is one of the few beings to make Lucifer truly nervous. Not always. But sometimes.
