ceilidh, who has one of my favourite usernames. :D
Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of (if I don't know it, I'll tell you, unless you want me to make something up, which I highly doubt, although it would be fun to try. *g*), no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply to you with the character I love best and why, and maybe who I ship them with. Also, you're free to reply in subthreads and ask me why I ship or don't ship something. In fact I encourage it. *g*)
Also, GO TIGERS! Because the Cards beat my Mets, and because I love underdogs, and especially because I adore mypeacey so much. And the Tigers deserve it. They've worked so hard the past, oh, couple of years, really, to earn the chance for the ring.
And GIP!.
Yes, that's mine, and I love it a lot. I get at least one compliment a day on it. People always are asking what it means, which of course is my chance to do some serious pimping in the guise of information. If it weren't formoonlight69, I'd still be sitting here with a bare wrist. *loves*

Having said all that, I'm captivated utterly by the huge, complex dynamic between Oliver and Geoffrey. It's just as obvious that Oliver is completely in love with Geoffrey I think the reason he slept with Ellen is because of it. When he says he did it for power, I don't believe he meant the kind of power he wanted Geoffrey to think he did. He wanted Geoffrey's emotions, all his energy, directed at HIM, even if it was rage and grief. I think part of the reason Ghost!Oliver hung around wasn't just so Geoffrey could make peace with the past, but also Oliver himself.
The scene where he's massaging Geoffrey's shoulders is anything but sexual, but it just might be the most romantic scene in the whole thing. It screams out two things: Geoffrey is the love of Oliver's life (and afterlife), and that Geoffrey is completely clueless. Geoffrey thinks of Oliver as a father figure, and Oliver thinks of Geoffrey as a lover, and one he can never have. It's very sad, very complex, and really, really beautiful. So while Geoffrey/Ellen is my OTP, the unrequited Geoffrey/Oliver is my favourite to watch. The relationship between the three of them is incredible. Oliver breaks my heart. *hugs Oliver tight*
Have I mentioned how much love I have for this show? Oh, yeah. Like, a lot, now I remember. :)
The tat doesn't go all the way around, just on the top and sides. I'm going to finish it by getting a chain-mail design connecting the two ends. The symbols are from Stephen King's Dark Tower series, which is my favourite story ever of any media--book, movie, television, etc. Here's a Link in English that tells more about it, but I think the German link has the German titles of the books. And woah, Amazon.de has the whole list! *g* The symbols are the word "unfound", which is carved into a door in one of the later books. I thought it was a beautiful symbol, and I love the DT so much I wanted the symbol as a tattoo.
The first line from the first book is "The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed." IMO it's the best first line ever written, because it sucks you in right away.

And regarding Oliver ... He was a bastard sleeping with Ellen and I'm with you that he didn't do it as some kind of a power play. He sabotaged Geoffrey and Ellen's love, knowing very well what he would do to Geoffrey.
Love is a cruel thing, Oliver learnt that the hard way and certainly felt guilty for it all his life.

It's so true, it almost hurts!
(although I ship Geoffrey/Me in some fantasy AU)
You do that too, huh?

Oh, absolutely. Geoffrey/Ellen is definitely the OTP. And Oliver was horrible for what he did. But gah, love makes people do terrible, awful things. And in the end, Geoffrey forgave him, so I figure I can, too. I do love Oliver, poor thing that he is. Unrequited love sucks, big time.
It's so true, it almost hurts!
That whole relationship is painful. Ouch.
You do that too, huh?
I do have red blood, and all. *g* It's a lovely AU where we spend a great deal of the time sitting around with Geoffrey reading Shakespeare's sonnets to me, and the rest of the time not so much with the sonnets. Or the sitting.
