Fandom Mashup #2 | Honor!

Fandom Mashup Post is a weekly meme hosted by Lunar Rainbow Reviews -and they're super fun!

You've been dishonored by your peers and you must regain your honor at all costs! Which honorable characters are you going to call up to help?

Wesley and Inigo (Princess Bride)
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, until you're ready."
"Again, thank you."
Okay, so the Dread Pirate Roberts and a princess-kidnapping, revenge-obsessed Spaniard might not seem like the ideal honorable characters, but just think of their entire duel! While Wesley scales the cliffs, Inigo tries to gain his trust to help him reach the top. Sure, to kill him, but when Wesley does make it to the top, Inigo gives him time to catch his breath! Neither resort to dirty tricks while fighting -even when facing their cowardly and cheating foes. I don't know about your book, but in mine that's pretty darn honorable.

Speaking of honorable duels...

Mal Reynolds (Firefly)
Remember that time, on that planet, when he fought a duel to defend Inara's honor? What could be more honorable than... oh wait...
...didn't he...
That's right. Let's scratch Mal off the list then, yeah?

Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)Answered in one GIF.
Oh my gosh, have you ever googled 'Zuko honor'? The memes. THE MEMES. How did I not know these existed before?!


Dembe (The Blacklist)Dembe is another interesting one. He's an underworld enforcer/bodyguard. I'm not sure anything he does is legal. The thing is, despite his fierce loyalty -which I would have once called unshakable- he has a very clear line of honor he won't cross nor condone anyone else to cross. So while Dembe's honor isn't conventional, it's definitely strong. I could learn something from him.

Mulan (Disney's Mulan)
Of course Mulan made it onto the list! She wouldn't just help me regain my honor, either; she'd help me realize that sometimes the honor others expect from you isn't the honor you'll earn.

But really. Great as these guys are? There's only one person I need to help me regain my honor...

Fandom Mashup #1 | Survival on Deserted Planet

Fandom Mashup Post is a weekly meme hosted by Lunar Rainbow Reviews -and they're super fun!

In your intergalactic travels, you and your team have found yourself stranded on a (seemingly) deserted planet and you need some serious survival skills to make yourself at home. Who else is stranded with you?


MacGyver
Swiss army knife and endless roll of duct tape included, of course.

Mal Reynolds and Zoe Washburn
Let's see -survived a horrific battle with no backup, scrape a living as outlaws hunted by authorities, and fiercely loyal to each other and anyone they consider crew. Yep. I'll need these kind of heroes along.

Jack Sparrow
His insanity borders on genius. Plus, if it turns out any space pirates are actually using our not-so-deserted planet for nefarious purposes, I want someone who speaks the lingo. In fact...

The (Good Half of) the RLS Legacy Crew
Captain Amelia, Mr. Arrow, Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver, Doctor Delbert Doppler, B.E.N., and Morph! Let's just add this whole fantastic lot, shall we? I mean, Jack's a great, crazy, inventive pirate, but since we're in space, why not get the crew of a space ship?

Oliver Queen
He survived on an island for years (granted, not quite on his own). But he could definitely teach me to fight.

Hermione Granger
Knowledge + magic.


Hank Lawson
We're going to need a really good doctor, and Hank can fix/cure anything with ANYTHING. He will be essentially to the longevity of my party.
Speaking of Doctors...

The Doctor
I'm torn between Ten and Twelve, so I'm just going to take both.

SG-1
Really, who else do you want watching your back on a potentially hostile planet?
Baze Malbus and Chirrut Imwe
These two will be fantastic in a tricky spot like this! "I am one with the Force and the Force is with me."

Newt Scamander
In case whatever we run into are more beast than sentient, Newt will figure out a way to co-exist with them.

So now that I've pretty much populated the entire planet, I think we can call it good! With this lot on my side, I think we're in good shape to survive. ^_^

Who would you want with you for such an adventure?

Harry Potter Moment of the Week #1: Would you have wanted to explore the Shrieking Shack?

Here is the first step in my journey of finding compatible book blog memes!

Harry Potter Moment of the Week
started and hosted by Leah @ Uncorked Thoughts

Harry Potter Moment of the Week: Would you have wanted to explore the Shrieking Shack?

Let me answer this with a gif or two...

You tell me about the Shrieking Shack, grisly legends all:




You take me close enough to hear that, yes, it really is shrieking:




You ask me if I want to exploring:




So, no. No I would not have wanted to explore the Shrieking Shack.

Just another reason I'm a reader, not a main character. ;)

Now, I'm not going to be able to do the Harry Potter Moments every week because, well, I haven't finished the series yet. Spoilers, and all that. (Hey, don't give me that look! I'm almost finished! And I only started a few months ago!)

And what about you?
Would you have wanted to explore the Shrieking Shack?
