I've no idea what most of it means.

I had to look up Hunger Games, Divergent, His Dark Materials, Mortal Instruments and Delirium on mine. You have cooler stuff than I do, though.

....what is this?!

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

I know what a few of them are but the others not so much.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

The Hunger Games is actually one of the ones I know. I know about 5 and a half of them.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Which ones aren't you familiar with? I could tell you what your stuff means for the ones I do know.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I'm actually not that sure, I've just seen it around my flist the past couple of weeks.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Right there with you.

When Lord of the Rings says "Man" does that mean human?

I don't know: Chronicles of Narnia. Well, I mean. I've heard of it but yeah. All the ones you don't know as well. Game of Thrones. Dr. Who. Spock was a Vulcan, right? If that's correct I know Star Trek. Uhm. Not that sure who/what a Bounty Hunter on Star Wars was.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Yes, Man = Human in the LOTR verse.

From what I remember of Narnia, humans just populated the regular world.

GOT, House Martell shows up in the fourth book, and it seems like everyone in that family is obsessed with getting revenge on the Lannisters for what happened to one of their people. It's been so long since I read it, I can't remember who the fuck died.

DW, the Weeping Angels are a popular villain who appeared in seasons three and five. They are regular stone statue angels when someone is looking at them, but if left unobserved, they can attack and kill extremely quickly. Which is where the saying, "Don't blink" comes from.

Yep, Spock was a Vulcan. A society built on suppressing emotions in favor of pure logic.

Bounty hunters are commonplace in SW, but they have HUGE fanbases. Boba Fett, for example, is one of the most popular characters, who had very little screentime in the original trilogy. Aurra Sing became huge, too, with even less screentime and NO LINES in The Phantom Menace. Since TPM, she's had stories in the extended universe to flesh her out.

Thank you for this. :)

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

...I know all of them but two. Well then.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

That is very impressive. Which do you know?

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

I don't know what Divergent or Delirium is. I know what The Mortal Instruments is but not really what the difference races mean.

Galactica you're either human or cylon and you don't want to be an evil cylon robot so that's good.

Percy Jackson I only know the movie version, and Percy IS a demigod, being the son of Posidon and a mortal woman.

Narnia a child of Adam & Eve is one of the Pensive kids, human.

Uhhhh, Boba Fett was a bounty hunter, and Leia was dressed as one when she rescued Han from the carbonite. Any species can be a bounty hunter, really.

I haven't gotten to House Martell in the GoT books yet so all I know is Arya's wolf's name, Nymeria, was a warrior queen from this house.

Spock was indeed a Vulcan.

Weeping Angels are the scariest fucking things ever. They're the cause of the "Don't Blink, Blink and you're dead" quote references you may see in Who related things.

HDM the Magisterium is the religious group, I think, like the Catholic Church in a way?

I think you figured out all the other ones...

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

Hmm, here's what I know.

The Mortal Instruments one basically means 'demon' hunter. (I think).

The delirium one refers to basically being able to still be in 'love' (love is like a disease if I remember right), "in a future governed by ‘evaluators’ who treat people like lab rats as they are analyzed and rated then cured of the disease ‘amor deliria nervosa’ – Love."

Here's the breakdown for Divergent (too like the Hunger Games for me): "Beatrice "Tris" Prior has reached the fateful age of sixteen, the stage at which teenagers in Veronica Roth's dystopian Chicago must select which of five factions to join for life. Each faction represents a virtue: Candor (Honesty), Abnegation (Selflessness), Dauntless (Bravery), Amity (Peacefulness), and Erudite (Knowledge)."

Which others do you not know of?

ETA: You might have them all figured out now.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And yes, I think they've all been covered.
