I was telling
ficbyzee the other day about how one of the problems I'm having as I get into DC comics, is that Dick Grayson's name makes it pretty much impossible for me to use the most relevent descriptive term for much of Batman's behavior. Because, honestly, Batman is a dick! But the names make it so difficult.
There are other similar terms, of course, but I personally have really strong connotative ties for various words in this case. "Dick", "asshole", "ass/jackass" and "jerk" all have similar denotations, yes, but they fit very different characters in my head!
(I put a little note here just so you know, the fact that I call a character one of these names doesn't tell you anything about how much I like them. The list below includes both people I absolutely adore and people I can't stand.)
For example:
+ Batman and McDreamy (Grey's Anatomy) are dicks.
+ Ray Kowalski (due South) and Rodney McKay (SGA) are assholes.
+ Dean Winchester (Supernatural) and John Crichton (Farscape) can be jackasses.
+ John Sheppard (SGA) and Casey McCall (Sports Night) are jerks.
See what I mean?
Of course, there are some characters who fit into more than one category -- in Hard Core Logo, for example, I would say Joe is primarily an asshole, but definitely can be a dick or a jackass, as well, whereas Billy Tallent is almost equally a jerk and an asshole.
--Somehow I suspect this is one of those entries that will end up not making sense to anyone outside my head. Heh.
PS. YOU ALL NEED TO GO PARTICIPATE IN
weekend_battle! I REQUIRE COMMENT FIC TO ENTERTAIN ME PLEASE.

I just had a whole little moment where I used the word "fetching" in someone's comments, and then thought about how much I liked that word, and then about how it was really a kind of a Fraser-y word, and then remembered the whole scene with Ray and Fraser in the car in "Doctor Longball" where Fraser tells Ray how very fetching his poncho is.
OH FRASER. WHY MUST YOU MAKE ME LOVE YOU SO? <3<3<3<3<3.
I truly believe F/K is the OTP of my heart forever.
I am in an odd mood tonight; I find myself once again craving Vecchiofic that I can't find anywhere. I have accepted the fact that Vecchiocest is wrong and bad and no one but me has the slightest bit of interest in it, but where oh where is all my teenage Vecchio gen or het fic? I want church and Catholic school and taking care of his little sisters and sneaking into Irene Zuko's bedroom and avoiding his Pop only to get smacked around sometimes AND ALL OF THAT AND MORE. Fandom, why will you never do my bidding? I could bribe you with things! Really!
Just so you all know, I am going to keep pimping
weekend_battle until you all start writing me stuff. BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES. Does nobody have any F/K or threesome or Wilby or Grey's or anything they feel like writing snippets of porn about? There are some intriguing prompts -- AC/DC, Bombshell, El Dorado, Freakshow, Knee-high, Peppermint, Snow, Wallflower -- not to mention a bazillion more.
In conclusion: OH VECCHIO. And also FRASER. And RAYK. And PORN. And TEENAGE CANON HET.
You get the picture.
