hamsterball | Meme: Crowning Moment

...I am going to like this meme. CANON FIRST:

AWESOME: It's all about rhythm, motherfuckeeeeers! or, to put it in motivator terms...

Close second: "My name isn't Glitch. It's Ambrose. ~~Bitch.~~"

FUNNY: "Hey! There's that guy that locked up Cain :D" Which....is funnier in context but those who know know what I mean. Alternately:

CAIN: I don't like the looks of this place. Why don't you guys wait outside? I'll cut the deal myself.
DG: No, I think we should stick together. I feel very safe with you guys.
GLITCH: Really? I don't.

Alternately alternately, "You know what your problem is, Cain?"

HEARTWARMING: ~All of the hugging~ and "We should all love someone that much." and "I knew I wasn't an idiot, or a convict." and every single one of his smiles just... :3

Will probably think of more for all of this later but eeeeeeeeeee canon ♥

I think it's fair to say that every other thing Glitch does is a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.

D'awwwww~

...well there are a few bits which I'd classify as Angsty Moment of Heartbreaking but the same general principle applies :D? "Was my machine so bad? ;_; "

Awesome/Heartwarming:

EVE: Why would we do anything to Fred? Why would we even care about her—?

(Lorne, who we have never seen hurting anyone before, punches her in the face.)

LORNE: Ooh. Oh, I'm sorry. That was a knuckle-buster. I'm Jake LaMotta over here. It's pathetic. Oh. Here's the thing, EVE: You're going to sing for me, and I'm going to read you right now. And here's one more thing, Eve: Winifred Burkle once told me after a sinful amount of Chinese food, and in lieu of absolutely nothing, I think a lot of people would choose to be green. Your shade, if they had the choice. If I hear one note — one quarter-note — that tells me you had any involvement, these two won't even have time to kill you.

Funny:

Beheaded!Lorne. Just... LOL.

And in Taxon, my favorite heartwarming moment is between Lorne and Wes. So cute. (http://community.livejournal.com/taxonomites/339068.html?thread=20535420#t20535420)

I LOVED this scene. Whoever thought Lorne can be such a scary badass?

And on the flip side, it shows how dark Lorne has become, that he's willing to hurt anyone for any reason. Character development ftw.

Awesome:

OH GOD I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. Ax is such a badass.

OK, so there's this alternate timeline in which Ax's five human friends never gain the morphing power. Meanwhile, Ax is stranded in a spaceship at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. In this alternate timeline, Ax manages to escape the spaceship all on his own, with half the enemy's army on his tail. Then he hatches a plan, again all on his own, to bring down the Yeerk Empire. With this plan, he practically single-handedly (with some help from four of the humans, who in this timeline can't morph) succeeds, in the span of six weeks. In the original timeline, it takes three and a half years. Sure, in the alternate timeline there are far more human casualties, but still that is so goddamn awesome.
He brings down a T. Rex. By himself. With one stroke of his tail blade. Without any resulting injuries.
He prevents World War III. By himself.
So the Andalite military (Ax's own people) was about to commit genocide. As in destroy Earth. So Ax, a mere cadet, declared a challenge against the captain who was about to commit unspeakable war crimes, knowing that if the challenge failed he would be exiled and his tail blade cut off. He won the challenge, and within hours was promoted directly from cadet to prince.

Funny:

Oh so very many. Ax, in addition to being a badass, is also the comic relief.

Drinking coffee:
MARCO: Ax, you have to drink where the hole is in the lid.
AX: A hole! In the lid! No spills! Ills! So simple! Imple. And yet so effective!
MARCO: Yeah, it's a real miracle of human technology.
AX: I have wanted to try other mouth uses. Drinking. Eating... Eeeaaating. Ting.
MARCO: You just line up the little hole with your mouth. We have to find Jake. We already lost, like, ten minutes because of you.

On the subject of Oreos:
“The cookies formed by two thin, round, black discs with a layer of adhesive white substance between them are the finest accomplishment of your species!”

And my all-time favorite:
AX: Ah. (nods) She does not understand how menacing we are. (taps the blind woman he's trying to intimidate on the shoulder) You do not know me, but I am a juvenile delinquent. I do not trust authority figures, I probably will not graduate from high school, and statistics say my present rowdiness and vandalism will likely lead to more serious crimes. I am a dangerous fellow, and I am causing mayhem in this store. (reaches behind her and pulls three jars of baby food from the top shelf, shoves them behind a box of macaroni, shuffles the Cheese Whiz in front of the Marshmallow Fluff, and tosses a bag of lady's shavers onto a bag of hamburger buns) There. I have now shamelessly destroyed the symmetry of this shelf, undoing hours of labor by underpaid store employees. If you could see me, you would be frightened.

Heartwarming:

When Ax tells Tobias that he is a true shorm, which is the Andalite word for the closest of friends. Shorm literally means "tail blade" because a shorm is someone you trust so completely that they could press their tail blade against your throat and you wouldn't even blink. Their friendship makes me wibble.

I also love in book #8 when Cassie takes Ax, in human morph, to have dinner with her family. She recognizes how lonely he is, and how much he misses his own family, and he is so very touched by the gesture.

And the Taxon moments:

AWESOME: The Valentine's Party, where nothing blew up, no one was killed, and the worst thing to happen was someone getting slapped.
THE DANCE ROUTINE WITH DG, oh my GOD it makes me so happy.
Speaking of dance routines, HOW did I for get the attack of the Emcee?

FUNNY: Holiday cheer thread with Buffy. Game over, the PHNSFNVBIT wins.

HEARTWARMING: Any and all of the schmoopy adorable threads with DG. Really, take your pick. I can recommend the mint.
This thread with Judith, in which two of the most unlikely BFFs share their deepest traumas and end up laughing about it all.
That time Levi fixed his hair. Just...yes.

ANGSTY MOMENT OF HEARTBREAK: That time Glitch got blown up a lot.
DG gets glitched into the Witch, horrors ensue. Might double as a moment of awesome due to ass-kicking.

....and wow I need to seriously update my threadtracking. ALL THE COOL STUFF THAT'S HAPPENED SINCE MAY IS GLORIOUS TOO.

Edited 2010-09-24 03:22 (UTC)

...Levi :( flurryyyyyyyy.

IKR? ;_;

I'll go for canon first. (And, because it's Drusilla, most of these moments are sinister as well as funny / awesome / heartwarming.)

Crowning Moment of Funny: So, so many to choose from. The scene where she accidentally falls in love in with Xander is probably one of my favourites. Or when she steals a puppy for Spike to eat, because, obviously, that's what every ill person needs.

Crowning Moment of Awesome: ~~Any conversation she has ever had.~~ Am I allowed to say killing Kendra? Because that was pretty awesome, by vampire standards.

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Taking care of Spike while he was in a wheelchair, probably.

And Taxon ...

Crowning Moment of Funny: Any conversation / argument she has ever had with Cordelia.

Crowning Moment of Awesome: Being reunited with Miss Edith. (And the tasks she had to complete to be reunited with her.)

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: ~~Fitzilla.~~ Most of the conversations she has with Angel in recent months. Looking after - in her twisted little way - Morgana while she was being tortured by the Master. Meeting vampire!Buffy for the first time.

~~I see that.~~

Lovely amazing moents, all. And I have to nominate from canon rising from the rubble and picking Spike up like he was nothing was ~fantastic~.

Edited 2010-09-24 15:07 (UTC)

~~*innocent whistle*~~

Ooh, I'd almost forgotten about that. Yeah, it should definitely be on the list.

I don't think B'Elanna has been in Taxon long enough for me to pick Taxon moments, but I can do canon.

Crowning Moment of Funny: When Tom caught her reading klingon romance novels.

Crowning Moment of Awesome: I'm only allowed to pick one? The entirity of the episode 'The Barge of the Dead' comes to mind. Or when she fought Vorik after he accidentally infected her with the pon farr. She also threatens to break people's legs a lot.

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Either confessing her love for Tom while they were on the edge of death or her eulogy for Captain Janeway.

LOL @ reading klingon romance novels

She'll deny everything.

DG's turn! Canon first, as usual.

Crowning Moment of Funny: Hitting her Dad with a broom? (What? He had just kidnapped her.)

Crowning Moment of Awesome: Charging a group of long coats armed with nothing more than a stick and her own determination.

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Hugging. So much hugging.

It's actually harder to narrow down the moments in Taxon.

Crowning Moment of Funny: The entire Full Monty performance. Including the Emcee's warm up act and the fact that she ended up watching the rest of it with Glitch sitting next to her.

Crowning Moment of Awesome: The dancing / singing routine in the workshop or the time she fought the witch - who was in her head at the time, by the way - to try and save Glitch.

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Like Keri, I'm just going to go with any of the soppy threads with Glitch. Oh, or any of the Taxon Coven bonding moments!

And, last but not least, Doctor Jones.

Crowning Moment of Funny: Standing on an Elizabethan stage with Shakespeare and saving the world by quoting Harry Potter.

Crowning Moment of Awesome: There was a lot of competition for this one, but, in the end, I had to pick her defeat of the Master. She was standing on the deck of the Valiant after spending twelve months as a fugitive and, when he raised his laser screwdriver to kill her, she simply laughed at him. Because she knew she'd won and that was all that mattered.

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: The conversation she had with her dying clone, although that's more heartbreaking than anything else. The moment you realise she and Mickey are married and still busy saving the world.

Taxon! (Slightly less tl;dr, thankfully.)

Crowning Moment of Funny: I think arriving in Taxon in a wedding dress takes some beating.

Crowning Moment of Awesome: Saving Wesley?

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Her reunion with the Doctor was pretty 'awwh' worthy. Likewise for her reunion with Jenny.

Seconding the Quoting Harry Potter because YES.

Good old JK!

Canon
Crowning Moment of Funny: Kaylee has Crowning Moments of One-Liners more than anything, buuut... What comes to mind immediately would probably be her introduction to Mal in 'Out of Gas,' which consisted of him walking in on her and Serenity's first mechanic, Bester, going at it in the engine room. When Mal tries to get Bester to fix the ship, Kaylee does it instead without so much as a blink. Mal offers her the job on the spot, and Bester gets left behind.

Crowning Moment of Awesome: Wash and Kaylee's Crazy Ivan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi6BLxusAM8) from the pilot episode, 'Serenity.' Because seriously, look at that skill.

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Also from the pilot episode, where Kaylee's drugged, shot, and halfway to her Death Bluff, and she and Mal have possibly the most charming interaction ever in which she reminds him that no matter how much of a mean old man he thinks he is, he is anything but. (Note: This is also followed by a Mal Crowning Moment of Funny, and if you don't know what I'm talking about you should go watch the entire episode right now (http://tv.blinkx.com/show/firefly/Zq5zv4RmdYaPd_bE#s1e1), and then watch all of the others after it.) This moment can also be replaced with pretty much any (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-ehDGXFKYM) Mal-and-Kaylee moment. Because seriously.

Taxon
Crowning Moment of Funny: Kaylee trying to help Female!Hercules (http://community.livejournal.com/taxonomites/374353.html?thread=22633553#t22633553), by far. As a secondary, though, her trying to shake Serenity (http://community.livejournal.com/taxonomites/367048.html) after the ship's re-arrival.

Crowning Moment of Awesome: I'm rather fond of the Kaylee-Mohinder team-up (http://community.livejournal.com/taxonomites/361847.html?thread=21880695#t21880695) that came from Lack of Oxygen Tiemz.

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Too many to name hrrrngh. We'll say Lorne singing Kaylee a Happy Birthday (http://community.livejournal.com/taxonomites/363000.html?thread=21945592#t21945592) (the entire birthday thread, really) for now, and if I think of anything later I'll add it. Yes.
