Man, I just want a thread to talk about random favorites. What's your favorite letter? Number? Color? Language? Song? Artist?
Huzzah. Randomness.

Plot Update 10 March 2021
A year has passed since Fire Lord Zuko ascended the throne, and it seems like trouble is brewing between the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom once more. The Fire Lord and the Avatar began the Harmony Restoration Movement to restore the Fire Nation Colonies to their pre-war state by bringing any Fire Nation nationals back home, but for many of the citizens — of mixed Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom … Read more ›

My favorite colour used to be orange, because I felt sorry for it. You know how everyone has a favorite color, but nobody seems to like orange? Well, I was that one person who felt sorry for it. I went around for months telling all my friends that it's my new favorite colour, but eventually I realized how miserable I was. I was living a lie! So I turned my back on the world's ugliest colour and I haven't looked back since.
This sounds really stupid and random and made up, but it's all true. and now I hate orange just as much as everybody else does. New favorite colour: green

My favourite colour is purple (with a more red tint than blue)! I dislike the letter z unless it's at the start of a word. My favourite language is Japanese, and my favourite number is anything in intervals of five.
Song and artist... that's harder. CURRENTLY my favourite song is tied between 'Monster' and 'Brick by Boring Brick', both by Paramore. Which coincidentally is currently my favourite band. If we're talking about 'artist' in terms of visual art, I'd have to say it's a toss up between Alex Ross and Rufftoon.

My favorite colors are red and black. That may sound weird to some that black is one of my favorite colors, but I do enjoy red and black more than other colors.
I do not have a favorite number or letter. Nor do I have a favorite language, but I enjoy learning various words of different languages in general.
My favorite song and artist are much harder. I have so many that I enjoy. I would say one of my top favorites song's is "Royal Scam" by Steely Dan, but I've been listening to "Dr. Online" by Zeromancer and "Faster" by Within Temptation a lot.

My favorite color is blue, though I know not which shade. Don't think I have a favorite letter. My favorite number is 4, though I'm also partial to 3.
Favorite language...hmmm. I took Japanese in school for a year, but I don't think it's my favorite, though it's definitely up there. I guess English is my favorite, if only because it's the only language I know and can truly appreciate. However, I am also very fond of German.
Don't think I have a favorite song or artist, though I have yet to get tired of Steam Powered Giraffe and anything they've done.

my favorite color is green, like the color of green LEGOs. Z is definitely my favorite letter, regardless of its position in a word, and I think that all of my characters have either a name that begins with Z, and/or a Z somewhere in their name.
Favorite language... does the one I'm building in my books count? ^.^;
I probably couldn't say, actually. I've been inspired by English, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Finnish, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, Navajo, Cherokee, Korean, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, and so many others... doesn't mean I can speak 'em, but they've all inspired me in one way or the next.
I can't think of a particular song that I like the best, but my favorite group is probably Sabaton, although most European Power Metal bands will do it for me.

I just love how you guys are sticking to my sample questions xD I just wanted this thread to be for a declaration of favorites!
Such as, my favorite ice cream is chocolate, but I love the occasional mint chocolate chip. My favorite video game is tied between Pokemon soul silver and Skyrim: Elder Scrolls V. I favor cloudy, mild weather compared to snowy days or warm sunny days.
As you can tell, my favorite letter is Z simply because it is so rarely used. My favorite pie is apple but my favorite fruit is the mango! :3

What's your favorite letter? Q
Number? 13
Color? teal, mustard yellow, avocado green, and navy all tie
Language? Korean or Japanese, closely followed by both Irish and Scottish gaelic
Song? can't choose this
Artist? nope, can't choose this
I don't generally have a one favourite thing in any category, truthfully. Though I will say that "pamplemousse" is my favourite French word! There are many things I like quite a lot but I don't often choose 'favourites'.

MORE FAVOURITES! It's very hard for me to choose a favourite for a lot of things, simply because my interests and tastes fluctuate regularly.
Right now, my favourite food is sukiyaki beef udon, particularly from a place called O-Udon. It's... oh my gosh, fabulous. Shrimp and mango pad thai is a VERY close second. My favourite drink right now is lime-flavoured Diet Coke, and while I don't drink it a lot (mainly because $$) I don't think this particular favourite will be changing soon.
I love 'strawberry cheesecake' flavoured ice cream, especially when it has bits of graham cracker, cheesecake, and strawberry in it (such as from Ben & Jerry's, or Coldstone, etc). My favourite flavour in general right now is sweet chili, ranging from dipping sauce, to rice cakes, to chips, to entrées.
I'll post more later. :3

Oh josh, Kami! You just had to bring up Thai food xD I'm a big fan of Chicken Pad Thai (with peanuts and lots of limeee~) If I had to have a last meal, that's what it would be. Also, my favorite dessert had to be Mango Sticky Rice tied with Tiramasu.

My favorite foods are pepperoni pizza and cheeseburgers, plain and dry (yes, I know, I'm weird). I'm also a huge fan of steak and pork chops.
I love vanilla ice cream the most, but I'm also a fan of rainbow sherbet. I'm also a fan of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream or just putting sprinkles on ice cream. If we're talking blizzard flavors, I like cookie dough mixed with oreo.

Oh god why did you guys have to mention Thai food WHY.
Let's see... my favorite color is invisible (and don't tell me it's not a color unless you can see it), favorite flowers are sunflowers, my favorite language - of those I can speak at least enough to get around - is French, my favorite letter is Q, my favorite artist as in painter is Alphonse Mucha, my favorite kind of dog is either any kind of herding dog or something big and drooly like a mastiff or bulldog, and my favorite food is either the aforementioned Thai or horrible, greasy New York-style pizza.

I can't really claim a whole lot of favorites since they change so much.
These are some that are semi-stable favorites of mine.
Favorite drama: Hana-bi.
Favorite word: Cognitive Dissonance (I wish I could use this in a sentence more often)
Favorite writer suicide: Yukio Mishima.
Favorite upcoming book title: This book is full of spiders: Seriously, dude, don't touch it.

oh ho ho... so we want more favorites do we?
favorite food is definitely pizza, although hamburgers are good too. cheese is bad for me (lactose intolerant) but I say screw it and eat it anyways. the meat group is my favorite... so I like vegetarians--more beef for me.
I'd have to say that Wendy's is my favorite fast food chain.
my favorite US state is probably New Mexico, mostly because it was generally a pretty lawless place for what it was worth and I'm sort of a chaotic neutral indvidual.
My favorite day of the week is Tuesday, my favorite month is January, and similarly, Winter is my favorite season.
My favorite book is probably the LOTR trilogy, mostly because that sort of depth is a great source of inspiration for the depth that my novel series contains in the ~415,000 words I've written of it thus far.
favorite music genre is definitely German Power Metal, (which isn't so much German anymore, but that's where it originated)
Favorite movie is The Princess Bride, hands down. runner up: Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
my favorite video game character is Empress Sanaki from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, and my favorite video game is Tetris.
my favorite hour of the day is 5:00AM-5:59AM, because I'm always up at that ungodly hour, and it appears to be where my creativity hits its zenith, and so the best stuff gets done during that mysterious hour. (case in point: it's 5:55 as I write this post)
Last but not least, my favorite character from the ATLA series is Admiral Zhao--because we need more awesome sexy jerks in this world that mock whiny emo kids.
