Regarding the Moz

Well, see post for ETA - it's no longer exam-related, but soon things will be.

And it's not for school, it's - I want to get a Certificate of Proficiency in English, which is given out by touring Cambridge profs, and which is kind of - the pinnacle of EFL achievement, and also very useful when applying for jobs and scholarships. And awesome. In preparation for it, I'm supposed to read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (which is one of my favourite books) and to watch Shakespeare in Love (which I've always wanted to and I finally have an excuse!). So, awesome. But also difficult as hell. And I don't ever get to speak English out loud, so I've been practicing by recording myself. I've finally reached the point of Going Public - but, argh, my mic and computer are apparently unmixy things.

Also, I ADORE that your friend translated My Immortal! (What IS French for "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU MOTHERFUKERS!"?) What subject is he doing it in?

Right, on to your meme!

Mozzie
1) I am fond of Moz like people are fond of socks of lava lamps. He amuses me, he's comfortable, he makes the show more homelike. I don't care too much about him outside of his role as a mentor/shadow-parallel/comic relief/actual friend, but I love the way he fits into those roles, because he's consistently human and cohesive and genuinely clever throughout.

2) He's important to the plot and he's important to the characters, and I'm pretty certain he's my favourite resident Deus Ex Machina provider.

3)I can't really relate to him at all. But he reminds me of a friend of mine, a genuinely brilliant armchair anarchists.

4) I actually like White Collar fandom! There's a lot of threesome fic, and a lot of kink, and relatively little drama. It's cozy.

5) I liked Moz and June's interaction, but I'm not sure I ship them. I think Moz is a bald little black dress character for me - I could ship him with anyone in the right circumstances?

6) I don't think I'd change him, but I'd love to know more backstory.

7) I don't think we'd have very much to talk about if we met in real life. In fact, the only reason he wouldn't swindle me out of my possessions is that I don't own any art to begin with.

8) He's neither my favourite nor the opposite.

9) I'd praise him as one of the show's most pleasant surprises - a Bumbling Sidekick who is capable, awesome, and has an equal relationship with our dashing hero.

10) Well, he's less popular than Neal, but I think most fans like him. It's hard not to, really.
