Hey there c:

scientificallyvolatile replied to your post:

She’s like the type of person who forces people into becoming alcoholics through her sheer obsessiveness and aggression. Can you like not even say anything around her w/o her snapping?

Orphan Black (which I have not done)

The first character I fell in love with:

Cosima. You know it's weird but by episode two I was really digging the show but not Sarah Manning. I was like SARAH MANNING YOU ARE A SHIT PERSON AND I DO NOT LIKE YOU. And then in a span of maybe 5 seconds Cosima comes out and does that little wave and introduces herself and I am SMITTEN. (I love Sarah now, but I sure didn't then)

The character who is my ‘baby’:

Helena. She is snuggly fuzzy murder child. I mean emphasis on the murder, don't forget the murder, but HELENA IS SO SPECIAL. I like her hairs.

The character who I do not understand:

Hm. These are really just extras but... Freaky Leekies what are you doing? WHO WANTS TO BE ALDOUS LEEKIE'S PERFECT HUMAN?

The character that I think the show ruined:

I don't think anyone has been ruined...

The most attractive character:

Delphine Cormier. Hottie Mc Frencherson Mc Hon Hon Hon Baguettes. 

The character death that was the worst for me:

Not a death but I thought it was for a while. Helena. 

The character that is the most like me:

Probably Cosima I guess?

The character I think the writer(s) love:

Sarah, Cosima, Felix. 

The character that I just want to be happy:

I really want Cosima's happiness and survival. Survival is more important than happiness. 

My four favorite characters, past or present:

NOO THAT'S TOO DIFFICULT

All I know is that Cosima is my favorite. 

My four least favorite characters, past or present:

CLEARLY THE ONLY VIABLE MEDICAL OPTION

Cosima has this problem with pet stores. Sarah constantly tries to pass one, but every time they see one Cosima insists on entering, demands they go in, look at the kennels where every dog is pouting, eying potential owners. She brings up the genetic defects and the ways each animal winds up with what traits, rambles about Punnet Squares. Sarah half listens, distracted, mildly aloof and constantly alert. And then Cosima always asks if they can take five of them out— not one, five, and the owner is skeptical each time, but Cosima insists they have five children and she needs a dog for each one or you know, kids, man, they get so territorial. Sarah doesn’t correct her, but she snorts in disbelief every time. She’s the only one with a child, and she wonders if Cosima would even survive under the weight of five.

It’s worth it to watch the way her eyes light up and her mouth breaks, broad, the sun coming out from behind silver-white clouds. She smiles like Sarah never has. It’s the smile of a well-adjusted, friendly, trusting optimist. Sarah envies it. 

"Ah man, you little dude, you’re great!" The scientist shouts, gathers a fluffy Pomeranian into her grip. The little animal squeaks and digs his paws all over her, squirms to escape, a pug jumping up to plant a sloppy lick all over Cosima’s glasses. She’s sitting cross-legged on the floor, Cosima Niehaus, and her eyes flick up to Sarah at the bench of the play pen. She opens her arms, the five puppies taking this time to start climbing up her thighs, and her laugh is rich, a full sound. "C’mon, join the cuddle, man! It’s great in here."

"I’m allergic." Sarah remarks, brushes a handful of dark hair from her eyes.

"No, you aren’t. Or I probably would be, too. Get in here, hug a puppy."

"I’m fine watching, thanks." Sarah says breezily, curls her hands at her sides, knuckles pressed against her seat, shoulders squared. Her posture is always very inward. 

"Cosima, look!"

Delphine practically squeals with delight as she watches the tiny Labrador puppy scurry about its cage, stopping to gnaw on a chew toy; in the large enclosure next to it, a litter of Cocker Spaniel puppies are play fighting, their excited little yaps reverberating around the animal shelter.

Thank you very much! Do I do that nerd mood thing? The description feels familiar.
