  1. #QuestionOfTheDay #FavCharacterAtoZ

    Who is your favourite fictional character from any work whose name (if they only have one) or first name begins with the letter "G"?

    Please include the series/work the character is from and why they are your favourite.

    Include the hashtags #FavCharacterAtoZ and #FavCharacterG to it so we can group the answers.

    Similar to the rules on "C" and 'D", General or other G titles don't count unless it's a proper name, so Grand Admiral Thrawn doesn't count as G for example.

    NOTE: you can always participate in the previous letters too (A to F).

  6. 1. Forbush Man (Marvel comics)
    2. Floyd Pepper (Muppets)
    3. Fester Bestertester (various Don Martin cartoons)
    4. Ford Prefect (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
    5. Farah Black (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency)

    The first four I like because they're generally unfazed by however weird reality gets around them. Farah does get a bit thrown off-center, but she still rolls with it and generally kicks butt while doing so.

    Who is your favourite fictional character from any work whose name (if they only have one) or first name begins with the letter "D"?

    Similar to the rules on "C", Detective/Doctor/etc don't count unless that's a proper name & not a title. (i.e. Detective Chimp & The Doctor count, Detective Lennie Briscoe & Dr. House do not)

    Add the hashtag #FavCharacterD to it so there's sub-sorting as well.

    Chewbacca (Star Wars)
    Charley Pollard (Doctor Who)
    Cheshire Cat (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)
    Calvin (Calvin & Hobbes)
    Chris Knight (Real Genius)

    They're mostly all favorites because they regularly challenge conventional thinking. Chewie is on this list because... I mean, c'mon -- it's Chewie!!

    Who is your favourite fictional character from any work whose name (if they only have one) or first name begins with the letter "A".

    It's possible I'm missing a slam dunk here who'd rank even higher but Andy from the Undead Unluck anime/manga is a favorite of mine. He's loyal to a fault, irreverent, and alternately helped and cursed by powers he uses very very creatively. He is willing to help people at great cost to himself. He's cool.

    His "Undead" power keeps him from dying and regenerates his body but doesn't make him invulnerable, and so his fighting style makes frequent and heroic usage of his self mutilation.

    His "way older than he looks," trauma, and rapid physical regeneration make him feel like a very anime version of Marvel's Wolverine.

    I'm not a fan of the creator, but his creation is so funny to me. That would be Aziraphale from Good Omens. Book or tv show.

  21. #QuestionOfTheDay who is a fictional character you adore/like/sympathize with but are reluctant to admit it to the broader fandom/public discourse/etc for whatever reason (problematic fav, disliked by fandom, already super popular and you don't want to be seen as just another fan who likes the obvious fan fav, has toxic fans and you don't want to be lumped in with them, etc)?

    Please give the name of the character, the work in which they appear, and the reason why you're reluctant to admit that you like them.

  22. RE: urusai.social/@ami_angelwings/

    Follow-up #QuestionOfTheDay who is on your "[fictional hero] did something/many things/everything wrong?" t-shirt?

    This question is a little more nuanced. I'm not asking for examples where the text obviously says they did something wrong or they admit to doing something wrong, but stuff they did that's wrong but we're not supposed to consider that it is, or it's downplayed heavily, barely addressed, addressed much much later after fan outcry/writer change, ignored by fandom as a problem, etc...

    Hero doesn't have to mean the main character btw.

  23. #QuestionOfTheDay who is on your "[fictional villain/character] did nothing wrong?" t-shirt?

    (e.g. "Magneto did nothing wrong" is a famous example)

    also include the series/work the character is from for those unaware

  25. #programming #devlife #QuestionOfTheDay

    My forever project is a system to compile local movie theater listings into a newspaper like listing like we got in the 70s and 80s.

    I would use it daily, but I just never have the time to put it together.

    #MovieTheater #Movies #Cinema

  26. Question of the Day - #programming #devlife

    Do you have a "forever project" — something you keep coming back to but never finish?

  27. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #QuestionOfTheDay

    The first time I was hooked, I found a book at the library when I was 8 or 9. It was a spiral-bound book that walked the reader through the process of building a #CW transmitter and receiver.
    I never got to build it, as it was hard for a kid to source all the parts, but I would love to find that book again and build the station.
    Unfortunately, I can't even kinda remember the name of the book, but if i ever saw it again, I would totally recognize it.

  28. Question of the day - #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

    How did you get into amateur radio? Was there a moment that hooked you?

    #QuestionOfTheDay

  29. #QuestionOfTheDay scariest weapon in fiction?

    There was a nuclear bomb in John Hersey's "Hiroshima". That is a truly frightening weapon, but unfortunately not fiction.

    I'll go with the Deathwand Device from "Hyperion". Pulps human synapses, leaves buildings standing.

  30. #QuestionOfTheDay scariest weapon in fiction? (mechs, the death star, combat vehicles, etc all count as weapons, and I'll count robots intended to be weapons like Terminators, but not all robots, for example, Data from Star Trek isn't a weapon even if he's quite scary if you used him as one, I will also count stuff like the T-Virus from Resident Evil as a weapon, and I guess Pokemon count too but like keep to the spirit of the question please)

  31. #QuestionOfTheDay who is the worst primary love interest for the protagonist in a work of fiction you otherwise enjoy?

    If applicable, who would the love interest be?

    Please name the title of the work and characters for those not familiar with it, and include any other details you want, you can use spoiler tags if you want

  32. #QuestionOfTheDay what's a piece of media/work that you wish had been a success/more successful/more appreciated by audiences or critics/etc because it would have encouraged the development of and interest in more works in the same genre or using a specific style/technique/mechanic/etc etc

    And what's the most interesting fandom/hobby argument you've ever been part of?

  34. #QuestionOfTheDay what's a common thing in media (mechanic in a game, plot point, stage design, character type, trope, filmmaking technique/shot, writing style, etc etc etc) that you don't necessarily dislike but you hate when it's used unnecessarily/inappropriately/too often/etc

    #film #movies #TV #Television #comics #comicbooks #musicals #anime #manga #books #poetry #writing #TTRPG #CCGs #videogames #Boardgames

  35. #QuestionOfTheDay what's a famous/infamous/beloved/emotional/shocking/hated/etc moment in a work that just didn't do anything for you? Not that you hated something universally beloved or weren't shocked because you saw it coming or anything, just that it didn't do it for you, you didn't feel anything about it, you might have not expected a shocking moment but you didn't feel particularly moved by it, etc

    It has to be something that popular consensus seems to be is a BIG DEAL but to you just isn't

    Use spoiler tags if needed. Mention the work and moment. Include why it didn't work for you if you want to.

  36. #QuestionOfTheDay what's a type of protagonist/hero you just absolutely can't stand and is more than likely to make you nope out of a story (either right at the beginning or eventually because you just can't stand them)?

    #fiction #anime #manga #superheroes #comics #romance #musicals #TV #television #film #movies #videogames #TTRPG #CCGs #books #fantasy #scifi

  37. #QuestionOfTheDay what's something that's actually good/fun/enjoyable that you have trouble recommending to people who would like it EXCEPT for one part at or near the beginning that you know would present a huge turnoff and give the impression to them that the rest is like that too. You can include spoiler warnings if you need to.

  38. #QuestionOfTheDay what's a misleading ad, trailer, opening of a video game, promotional material, cover art, opening credit sequence, etc that made you legitimately annoyed/angry/turned you off from continuing the show/game/etc

    #fiction #videogames #TTRPG #CCGs #movies #film #television #TV #anime #manga #comics #comicbooks #musicals #books

  39. #QuestionOfTheDay What's something (a trope, plot point, character type, twist, technology, magic, decision, conceit of the genre/world, whatever) in fiction that you just can't buy.

    i.e. you get that it's fiction, & that it's a thing that happens, or that in the fictional world it's accepted, justified, or explained, or fans love it, etc. It's not that you don't understand it, it's just that you don't buy it, it doesn't work for you, you just can't accept it or take it seriously, etc...

    This is a judgement free zone (at least from my end) so if you're like "when space magic shows up I can't take it seriously" or "ppl being able to fly makes no sense to me" etc that's totally fine.

  40. #QuestionOfTheDay you can re-experience a piece of media all over again as if you've never read/watched/etc it before, like you get to experience it for the first time again, what do you choose?

  41. #QuestionOfTheDay who is a character that ruined a work of fiction you were otherwise enjoying and why?

    bonus points if you actually stopped watching/playing/reading etc because of this character, so not just like an annoying character you hate but you still kept going

    #fiction #movies #film #TV #Television #anime #manga #musicals #comics #comicbooks #ttrpg #CCGs #books #videogames

  42. #QuestionOfTheDay worst (non-interactive) decision a character in a work of fiction you enjoy has ever made

    You can answer this question multiple times if you want. The decision has to be one that's scripted/written and not one a player made while playing a video game or TTRPG etc (so cutscenes are okay as long as the decision is not in your hands and you didn't choose the option that triggered the cutscene or scripted plot beats)
