Five Fandom Friday: Favorite Fictional Dads

Well Erinn's getting on schedule! 

Favorite Fictional Dads...THERE ARE SO MANY, but here's who I've narrowed it down to:

1. Andy Taylor (The Andy Griffith Show)


Good ol' Andy. I grew up watching this show and seeing how this Dad juggled family time with running the town jail. A single father who raised his son to be a respectful man, and a guy that earned that same respect by putting others first.

2. Atticus Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird)


There's so much about Atticus that reminds me of my father. Most of all, that he never bends his beliefs when people oppose him. How he never discriminates the people around him.

3. Harry Morgan (Dexter)


Harry accepts the dark side of Dexter and helps him work through these emotions. I adore seeing a father figure on television that doesn't treat their children like foreign matter.

4. Bobby Singer


Let's go on a hunting trip boys! I know that Bobby isn't a father (though could have been as speculated by many of us in the fandom), but /he was a father to Sam and Dean. Teaching them to function in the chaos around them. A tough man with thick skin, but a heart bigger than most men in the supernatural field.

5. Henry Spencer


Finally, Henry Spencer, This dad reminds me of Harry Morgan but with a son whose life revolves around fanatics. He supports his son but makes sure his motives are in the right place, All survival skills aside, his genuine concern for his child, even in retirement, warms my heart.

Thank a man in your life that has helped you make it through various situations, whether it be through mental, physical, or emotional support.

Five Fandom Friday: 5 Fictional Characters You Most Identify With

ohhhhh yessss I'm excited for this one!

  1. Sam Winchester (Supernatural):

Though I see parts of my personality in both of the boys, I definitely identify with Sam more. He's a self-sacrificial person, making his will to protect his family at all costs. Book smart. Constantly craving new information. Mostly non-confrontational. Slightly awkward. Constantly wanting to please others and that causes him to put himself last most times. But when he has the push from Dean, he proves his skills aren't useless. I, like Sam, find my confidence boosted when I know others are happy.

2. Donna Pinciotti (That 70's Show):

That sums me up haha. This flannel-sporting lady is me both outwardly and verbally. Outwardly because I'm not one to dress up, and on the rare occasions that I do, I feel uncomfortable. I connect with Donna's constant pursuit of her passions and never letting people talk her down from things not many support. Verbally I tell it like it is to the people I love. Jokes and sarcasm are second nature to me.

3. Rupert Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer):

This is a man that surrounds himself in books, drinks his tea, and, oh yeah, TAKES THINGS SERIOUSLY. Giles is constantly disregarded when it comes to his warnings given to the Slayer. I feel linked to his ability to devote all attention to the completion of tasks to satisfy others. When it comes to personal tasks, I tend to set them aside. Also, his subtle witty remarks that fall to the wayside. I'm thinking there's a pattern here.,,

4. Mary Poppins (Mary Poppins):

Amen sister! I always try to find joy in the things I do, and if there is none why am I doing it? Sounds harsh but I can find fun in difficult tasks if I know someone will find happiness with the end result. If it's all doom'n'gloom it's a waste of effort. Her tact and polite personality are also social skills I uphold.

5. Charlie Bradbury (Supernatural):

This is an obvious one. Constant references to fictional characters, excitement when involved with seemingly adventurous things, and untapped knowledge that's waiting to spew out. This girl is stronger than she thinks. 

I hope you're enjoying these posts, and I would LOVE to hear who you connect with! Let me know in the comments :)

In the wise words of Sam Winchester...

Five Fandom Friday: Favorite Fictional Moms

...more like Five Fandom Sunday night...

Guys there's SOO MUCH stuff for me to catch up on here, so many tears, too many feelings. I really enjoyed the 5FF for the past two weeks that I decided to do them despite their lateness. Mothers day was just as lovely as ever, there was even a rainbow here! So let's here it for these particular moms:

1. Lorelai Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)

This momma shows that being best friends with your daughter has benefits and disadvantages. Either way she made the show cheery with her wit and sarcasm.

2. Roseanne Conner (Roseanne)

I grew up with this show, and this household is pretty much my childhood on screen. Roseanne didn't baby her children, but she was unstoppable with her stories of growing up and the hilarious ways she handled the annoying people in her life.

3. Mrs. Gump (Forrest Gump)

This beautiful mom is one strong individual, that reminds us to stick to our gut feelings and do what's best for you. She is set in her ways, completely independent, even in her old age, mixing both new and old traditions set by mothers.

4. Mary Hatch-Bailey (It's A Wonderful Life)

This classy lady shows the joy and provision that comes out of continual support of others. Doing a million things at once, but getting little thanks. Ultimately receiving thanks by seeing smiles on the faces of her loved ones.

5. Kitty Forman (That 70's Show)

This woman delivers brutal honesty in the nicest ways. Ahhhh I can't get enough of her :) Need I say more?

Give your mom, or mother figure in your life some love. It shouldn't be a one-day thing.

Five Fandom Friday: 5 Magical Items I Would Love To Own

Sorry I'm two days late...things flipped drastically in my life and it's all a bit maddening and confusing. All the more reason to occupy my mind with other things like this.

1. Time Turner- Fixing mistakes I made would be a bonus, but I honestly would use it to watch/finish more tv series haha!!

2. Bilbo's Mithril Shirt- Not that I'm planning on getting stabbed any time soon, but one can't be sure...and it's beautiful.

3. Morgana's Healing Bracelet- This kept her dreams at bay, oh how I would enjoy going to sleep without a thousand thoughts at once.

4. TARDIS- Time travel, again!!! But more people can come with me.

5. Dean's Amulet- okay okay, I know this isn't particularly magical but the reminder that life isn't a burden you carry alone, but others will be there to relieve the pain.

Bippity Boppity BAM there's my list!

5 Fandom Friday: Five Times I Totally Fangirled

I've been following Super Space Chick and The Nerdie Girlie for a bit and I adore their concept of 5 Fandom Friday, so I decided to join in on the fun! I decided to do my own twist on the sign: the salt shaker and match for Supernatural. Sonic Screwdriver, Doctor Who. Lightsaber, Star Wars. And the Pineapple for Psych. 

1. When Shawn and Juliet got together on Psych

...and then coming to find out they're dating in real life!!!!!!!!!!

2. Watching Jensen Ackles as the character Priestly in 10 Inch Hero

Not only does he steal my heart as Dean Winchester but as a punk, pierced sandwich maker :) His attitude about appearances is beautiful and I still haven't gotten over this role yet.

3. Going to see 5SOS in concert last year

4. Reading the ending to Torrent (3rd book in the River Of Time series)

<3<3 Lord Greco <3<3

5. This last season of Walking Dead I geeked out about plots, character development, and symbolism...yeah I'm that kind of fan :)
