answers to the top five meme

For snacky.



I, um, cannot guarantee that I've rewatched it recently enough that I can guarantee anything standing out in my mind as something that actually occurred in the movie. In no particular order.

1. The mirrors with LWW, which are plural rather than singular, but what I can remember off the top of my head: Caspian in the wardrobe (mirroring Peter in the wardrobe), the pan up to the ruins of Cair Paravel (mirroring the pan up to Cair Paravel), Lucy at the shattered balcony looking out over the seaboard (mirroring Lucy at the balcony looking out over the beach), Peter drawing Rhindon in the treasury (mirroring Peter drawing Rhindon after Father Christmas gifts it).

2. The little murmurs of history, specifically the cave paintings (and the sudden hint of Tumnus's theme returning in the music!) and the illuminations in Cornelius's books.

3. The White Witch scene, specifically Peter's confrontation with her and Lucy leaping into the fray.

4. Susan and Peter's hug during the duel scene.

5. EVERY FIGHT SCENE EVER. Wait, that's not really much of a moment. Ah, well.





1. Had an affair with her art professor in school. (England)

2. Stayed with the guy who killed her escort and enslaved her, all the while pretending that she wasn't Queen Lucy. Oh, and sleeping with him, of her own free will. For kicks. (Narnia)

3. Jumps off cliffs and climbs back up them. For kicks. (Well, I think this is crazy.)

4. Snuck into an enemy camp and stole the commanding general's plans, maps, money, clothes, and the jewelry off his mistress while she was sleeping beside him. (Narnia)

5. Jumped over the side of one of the Navy ships and went swimming. This doesn't sound crazy until you start thinking about the ten million sea monsters also present in the deep parts of the Eastern Ocean. (Narnia)



For moonyazu9.



No particular order.

1. Anakin Skywalker/Obi-Wan Kenobi. (Star Wars)

2. James Potter/Sirius Black. (Harry Potter)

3. Rodney McKay/John Sheppard. (Stargate Atlantis)

4. ...no, that's about it. (I have other pairings I like, but they're not really up there, so much.)



For westingturtle.



1. Having nearly everything within walking distance, which isn't so much about college, I suppose, but it's directly related. I live in the country. There's nothing in walking distance; you have to drive everywhere. But in New Orleans you can just walk!

2. Having your friends live just down the hall from you, so when something exciting happens or you hate the world or need to cry you can just go bang on their door.

3. Your own time management. Which is something of a double-edged sword, because sometimes I suck at time management.

4. BOOKSTORES. IN WALKING DISTANCE.

5. Being the only person in control of what you're doing, are going to do, or want to do. Your parents aren't there, so it's all up to you.





The stuff that I can think of off the top of my head edition! So not really much of a top five.

1. J.R.R. Tolkien's original incarnation of the character of Strider was a hobbit named Trotter.

2. The movement wherein members of a marching band raise their instruments from a carrying position to a playing position is called a flash. Marching bands flash people all the time.

3. All tigers' stripes are as unique as fingerprints and can be used to identify them, though it's not the most practical method. They're also on the skin as well as the fur.

4. The marozi is a legendary cryptid that is supposed to be a spotted lion, smaller than the regular lion and of a duller color. It may be a naturally occurring leopard-lion cross, but although it's been spoken of (and there is, apparently, even a picture of one's skin), it's never been proven to exist. However, just in case, its Latin name is Panthera leo maculatus.

5. The neutral grounds in New Orleans (the median strip where the streetcar runs) are all named after the first neutral ground on Canal Street, which divides the French Quarter from the Garden District, which was originally known as the American District. Creoles and Americans used to meet there to do their business.



For hungrytiger11.



1. MARDI GRAS.

2. The food. You can eat your way through this town, I swear to God, and then they can roll you onto the plane afterwards.

3. Nearly everything being within walking distance or, at most, a hop, skip, and a streetcar ride away. (Or the shuttle to the malls in Metairie, but that's specific to Tulane.)

4. The weather. It is not windy all the time! It's warm! It is occasionally seventy or eighty degrees in December or January! (And then it dips down to fifty and you think it's freezing, but still. And you barely notice the hurricanes, really, unless you're evacuating.)

5. The completely different dress code than we get in the Pacific Northwest. For one thing, it's much more revealing, and it's perfectly acceptable to wear a sundress at any time of the year.





1. Broke the White Witch's wand. (Oh, come on, this totally counts.)

2. Started the prophecy, back in the very last days of the Little Autumn and the very first days of the Long Winter during the time travel incident, thus ensuring his family's rise to power.

3. ...okay, I got nothing else; I'm getting worse at being able to do this without a story guideline.
