I r geek

[darkluna]

Someone put some silly in my coffee today, or something. If I could even sort of draw, I would so draw a comic for this conversation:

"I don't see why I can't be Aragorn."

"Dude. L is obviously Aragorn."

"And no point asking who's Gandalf the Sparkly White..."

"Look at it this way: you get to be in all the battles and kick ass. And look pretty, which is more than I can say for me, if we're going off haircolor."

"You don't wanna be a non-human too? And dual-wield axes?"

"..."

*grin*

"Mello. That may be the geekiest thing you've ever said. You. Me. Bedroom. NOW."

***

ETA: The more I think about this, the eerier I find it that all the haircolors match for the character correspondences (in LOTR movieverse, at least); and the harder I find it to understand how the world can keep on turning despite its lack of fanart of Near as a wee-but-badass white wizard. :'-(

i think near would object to having to have a beard, somehow. i can't picture it.

but i can totally see mello doing the "nobody tosses a dwarf" line. (even if it's better suited to near. XD)

Hee hee. And I think L might have some trouble cultivating satisfactorily manly stubble.

If we were going off personality, I think Near would be Faramir. Book!Faramir. But I couldn't resist the "sparkly white" thing.

i don't think i got as far as him in the books... (tolkien's writing style really annoyed me so much that even though i adored the story i just couldn't stick it.)

near's actually pretty gandalf-y to me, though-- i think he has an untapped streak of badass while being a generally decent person, but then i don't know gandalf as well as i could do, so i'm probably talking out my (large pointy white) hat.

In the books, Faramir is pretty much the only one not tempted by the ring at all. He's kind of a scholar type, and very perceptive. I don't doubt he could hold his own in a fight and do anything he felt was necessary, be it physical or mental, but he's a lot more about brains than brawn.

Of course, so is Gandalf, so Near as a wizard totally works. :-) I think he does have a ruthless streak. (Ooh, he could rock that "You shall not pass!" scene. Eee.)

ah, i see-- i really need to rewatch the films, it's been ages since i've seen them.

heh, i think he'd be pretty good at it, but... the stick might be bigger than him...

They changed Faramir in the movies. The explanation was something like "We've spent 2 1/2 films building up how powerful the ring's allure is; we can't have someone saying 'I wouldn't use it even if my country were falling.'" Which I kind of understand, though I still don't love it.

Tiny wizard! And everyone would still get the hell out of his way. :-) Why can I not draw?

ohh, i see. D: i hate it when chars beloved from books and such get wrecked in films, so i understand. D:

haha, that's such an awesome mental image, that.

i lament my own inability to draw all the damn time. D:

I think Darkluna would happily be Near's beard.

HOLY GODS ABOVE AND BELOW, I AM SLAIN. SLAIN FROM THE FUNNY.

i don't know who you are, but you're HELLA funny.

i'd volunteer, too. ...actually, no, i wouldn't; i'd expect sex. but still.

[darkluna.livejournal.com]

I figure even as a beard, if you played your cards right, you might end up in an MN sandwich.

Either M is fine. ;)

near: but mello, i don't want to have sex with a girl!
mello: you know, you bitch a lot less when you're with matt...
