Day 3

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

I've dithered over this for a while. I have so many favorites. But this morning I put on my shirt that says "...and I of course am innocent of all but malice." and I guess I'll go with that.

The line comes from a scene in Sign of the Unicorn by Roger Zelazny, second book in the Chronicles of Amber, where a bunch of siblings are interrogating and blaming one another over who might have just stabbed their brother. And sister Fiona says the above. Exactly no word of it is true--well, alright, she does have some malice--and yet it's a first step in her attempt to redeem herself.

You might notice the similarity between her name and my username. It is not a coincidence. I love her so so much.

Someone I once dated, after we broke up, used the fact that I admire her to cast aspersions on my character. On the other hand, I call that person the psycho ex, so you decide.
