So for the first SG Homework I complete from the topics @CHARMAINE @MISSY @RAMBO @LYXZEN gave us I decided to actually do this weeks: Who is your favorite fictional character and why? - This got me thinking, while I initially had someone in mind I then took it upon myself to side-note this topic a bit, with who my favorite fictional charcter would be, AND if I was any ficitonal charcter who would I most likely be.. and oddly enough there is a common variable.. the name Desmond.
So if I could be any fictional character of my chosing I would probaly pick Desmond Miles - Assasin, and down right bad ass. Since I started playing AC a few years back I've always had a bit of a gamer crush on desmond, I mean I don't normally find video game charcters attractive, but come on Desmond's a cutie, gets to enter the animus, gets all the bitches, and rebuilds the town I don't even know how many times! But in all seriousness I would seriously digg being able to even enter the animus, and be able to go back in time - I personally would want to stay in Ezio's timeline as I'm a sucker for Italian achetechture and honestly anything Italian (including the ladies lol) But being able to go back in time and experience historic events and possibly even change history would be a pretty hefty job to sign up for, so with my clumsy self it wouldnt take very long for me to cause a sort of "Butterfly Effect" So it's probably best I don't have access to te Animus.
As for who I would probably be - Well that just falls back to my all time favorite series (and idk how I would make it through my first SG Homework without bringing it up) LOST... I would most likely be Penelope Widmore, who unexpectedly meets her soulmate, but her father never approvesof him, even attempting to bribe him to leave Penny. So Desmond leaves on a voyague - a sailing competition he intended to win, and "earn" Penny's hand in marriage. Instead Desmond's boat crashes on to the island and he is persuaded to stay in the hatch and push the infamous button for years. Penny is left forever waiting for the only man she's ever loved. Searching til the literal ends of the ocean, and even when he comes back in a flash-sideways she doesn't even give it a second thought, instead she's just happy to be back with the love of her life. But she spends most her life waiting, waiting for that moment, searching even when in the back of her mind she has no idea if it'll pay off. "I have a lot of money Desmond, with enough money and determination, you can find anyone" she'd told him.. and luckily she was very determined. I always felt a huge conncection to Desmond and Penny's bond as to me, they are the perfect definition of soulmates, they met on a spur of the moment almost "glitch" and that's actually how most of my lasting relationships (friendships included) occur, an instance where if a split-second instance hadn't occured, I never would've made that connection. Tiny little windows of opportunity.. Another reason I think I'd be Penny is because when Desmond asks Penny to wait for him, and to make sure to answer the phone 8 years later she does.. I know out of downright curiousity I would be waiting by that phone all day. But even down to the fact that Penny knew Desmond so well she knew he'd been saving his last Charles Dickens novel "Our Mutual Friend" to make sure it was the last book he ever read before he died so while he was in prison she figured that he would have finished the book - Which hidden inside the book (he later finds once he's down in the hatch, and after a major breakdown) is a handwritten letter (once again something I would do) from Penny and I know anyone else in the LOST-fandom would agree the most quotable line from the letter is at the very end, and it's what I'll end this blog with: "Please don't give up Des. Because all we really need to survive is one person who truly loves us, and you have her. I will wait for you, always."
