History Tropers / Silver1881

Serial daydreamer, bibliophile, and weapons enthusiast. Loves books, video games, and movies, especially if there are explosions.

Entry pimp for anything involving MassEffect or PGWodehouse.

[[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander Harris]] + [[{{Frasier}} Frasier Crane]] + [[[ReadOrDie Yomiko Readman]] - (Cuteness + Magic)] + [[{{Seinfeld}} Elaine Benes]] + ([[TheITCrowd Maurice Moss]] + Fashion Sense) + [[TheGoldenGirls Blanche Devereaux]] + [([[AvatarTheLastAirbender Toph Bei Fong]] + Sight) - Badass Earthbending Powers] + [[HowIMetYourMother Robin Sherbatsky]] + [[{{Dexter}} Debra Morgan]]
