Hi! waves
"You are a storehouse of stories and
experiences, which you translate gorgeously into the prose of your
stories and poems; you don't only experience emotion, you make friends
with it, and enliven it in your work..." -My best friend Kat (Th'InconstantMoon on this site) said that- I think it's the best compliment I've ever gotten.
Real name: Emma
Gender: female
Age: 16
Location: the suberbs of L.A.
Check out my fanfiction! I'm on Fanfiction.net under the same s/n.
The following list
is Th'InconstantMoon and an-angel-in-hell's (hereafter referred to as Kat and Emma)
personal list of the top (from 16 to 1, 1 being greatest) fops in
any book or movie we have been exposed to, with commentary by Emma and occasional interjections by Kat.
16) Le Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, from Phantom of the Opera-
Ye
Gods! Read that title, it radiates fopishness like a high school boy's
locker room radiates sweat! He's at the bottom of the list because he's
actually brave though, I mean he did go to great lenghts to save Christine. He's decent, just... annoying.
15) Ashley Wilkes, from Gone With the Wind-
Not too foppy as fops go, and not as mind numbingly conformist as some.
But he didn't support the war, he just fought in it anyway to 'support
the Cause.' He couldn't refuse to get involved like Rhett, because the Wilkes' have no spine.
14) Rolf, from Sound of Music-
Dumped his girlfriend and became a Nazi. So far back on the list because he's not a bad guy, just disillusioned.
13) Lieutenant Gillette, from Pirates of the Caribbean-
Well, his name alone makes him eligible (so said Kat)... but he really pisses me off. "What about Sparrow? Should we ready the Dauntless
in pursuit?" Jeez, what did you think that whole "Piracy can be the
right course," speech was all about? And he looks like he has a ten
inch steel pole shoved up his ass.
12) Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, from The Scarlett Letter-
An annoyingly self-pitying man who is convinced he's holy and good but
is really not. One of those characters who just pisses you off.
Characterized by nervous muscle spasms, quivering lips, and compulsive
heart clutching.
11) Simon Middleton, from Rebel Angels-
Mean, slutty, absinthe
addict. Nobleman. Tries to get his girlfriend into bed with him when
she's drunk. (His doing, of course.) And Kartik, the most wonderful
male character in the creation of the series, conceded as much. He's
screwed
up, but good at heart.
10) Vassenka Veslovsky, from Anna Karenina-
Placed by Kat, as I've not read the book. Apparently he reeks of
foppishness. Flirts openly with other men's wives, delights eagerly in
food and drink, loves hedonistic pleasures, and is utterly incompetent
in outdoorsy type things, yet still makes foolish attempts at doing
them. Not a brain in his head that doesn't pertain to sex, food, drink,
or the hedonistic in general.
9) Freddy, from My Fair Lady, whose last name I don't know-
Submitted to the list by Kat, who has been much more thoroughly exposed
to the fandom than I. Placed by me because he is hopelessly and
childishly obsessed with Eliza. And he is a fop. (Kat says- People call Raoul a fop?)
8) Dylan, from Born Confused-
Words fail to describe. Broke his girlfriend's heart by seeing another
woman whilst he was still sleeping with her. (The Other Woman was named
Cashmere. Self explanatory.)
7) Buddy Willard, from The Bell Jar-
An idiotic prat, also placed by Kat. A totally mean, insensitive,
slutty bastard. He's very mean to Ester, who is cool. He
was her childhood sweetheart and everyone, including her,
expected her to marry him and she was going to, even though she didn't
like him too
much, but then he visits her when she gets sent to an insane asylum and
when he leaves he's all,
"I wonder who'll marry you now Esther. Now that you've been... here." So we agree he's evil.
6) Avaric, from Wicked-
He's absolutly horrid. He's a racist, sexist, chauvinist pig, who has
no sense and does stupid things for a lark. And he manages to be good
looking.
5) O'Brien, from 1984-
Tortures people and preaches nonsense. Firmly believes that if Big Brother says 2+2=5, it must be so.
4) Mr. Bartelby Bumble, Esquire; from A Great and Terrible Beauty-
Another title that speaks for itself. He proposed to a girl who was young enough to be his daughter (not that that matters too
much), just because she was pretty, and her family had money. Then he
ditched her because she had epilepsy. Very shallow and prattish.
3) Kostos Dounas, from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants-
A horrible, spineless bastard! He married a girl just because he got
her pregnant, depite the fact that he was madly in love with someone
else, because that is what they 'do' on small Grecian Islands. Placed
by Kat.
2) Lord Cutler Beckett, from Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest
He's a horrible, power-mad East India Trading Company executive who
wants nothing more than to control the seas. He branded Jack with the P
that marks him as a pirate, and anyone who hurts my Jack needs to die
at once, says Emma.
1) Joseph Kington, from Pirates!-
Placed entirely for the outfit he wears to dinner at the Brazillian's.
I can't quote the book because I loaned it to Kat, but I seem to recall
that he was wearing a silk waistcoat embroidered with butterflies and
flowers. Come on people, you have to agree that that one takes the cake.
Can you believe that Kat and I actually talk about stuff like this? I can hardly. Hardly can. Whatever.
Anyway,
yeah... go read my poems. Or Kat's. Shoo
