Meme 'cause I can.

One of the best joke emails I ever received was "What to do before taking over the world". Basically, it outlined all of the things that one should or should not do before declaring oneself empress, king, whatever.

What would your pup do to ensure their complete control over their universe?

Mark: Control all the media. Make propaganda movies.

Artoo: Turn off Threepio.

Since my pups are in the business of taking over the universe...

Ishamael wants to slay Time itself and will reign on high for all eternity. He plans on turning the Dragon to the Shadow, and killing everyone and everything which gets in his way.

Asmodean... well, he had his shot, and it involved a deceptive scheme and an artifact of ultimate power. So yeah, Asmodean's plan is to get to the Choedan Kal first.

Mesaana... well, she brainwashes children into turning on their friends and loved ones, and to destroy everything that detracts from the Dark One's glory.

Ishamael would like to insert the word 'yet' into that statement.

In canon, Ryan wants Lionel Richie to run for U.S. president with John Kerry. He believes Mr. Richie will build them a city in the sky. This is pretty much one of his ultimate dreams.

... yeah.

Fool everyone into thinking he was cute and harmless and then drug them using chocolate milk.

If he got found out, he could just blame it on the turtle.

Cuthbert: Ka-mai at people and encourage them to not take him seriously. Then, blow their damn heads off.

Alice: Look cute and innocent, and then feed people mushrooms that make them smaller than her. Or feed herself one that makes her bigger than them. Whatev.

Dickon: Win the trust of all the animals, and then encourage them to revolt.

Zoe: Zoe does not take over the world. She supports the person who does from behind the scenes, secure in the knowledge that they would be helpless without her. Also secure in the knowledge that she's not the one people whine at if they're unahppy.

Gromit's weapon of choice would be a pair of Wrong Trousers, or something similarly gadgety. Lincoln's would be his wide-eyed, uber-charming grin. Cuteness is a weapon, after all.

Nita says taking over the world is way too much of a headache.

Henry, having more-or-less survived 17 years of Henry VIII's court, would quietly make connections, kill the occasional person, and fall back on the whole vampiric hypnosis type thing.

Eustace would make sure Caspian will back him up.

And Guinevere would just marry into power. Hey, worked last time.

Aeryn would buy some guns. Really bigs ones and set up her own elite soldier protection unit to help protect her. She's not a very complex woman when it comes to world domination.

Ron: Beg Hermione to do it for him. ("Please?" "No." "Pretty please?" "I said no." "But you're so amazingly smart--I bet you could figure it out in half a second. Plus...you're pretty when you're thinking and figuring things out, y'know?" "Oh...alright. But you're never going to learn how to subjugate if you don't start doing it on your own.")

Virginia: Use her inherited mirror magic to control all the leaders of the 10th Kingdom and make sure she killed all the plucky heroines good and dead with her own hands instead of sending Huntsmen to do it.

Harper: Jeez, probably what he did in the episode where Dylan accidentally got transported to a universe where Harper was the ultimate ruler--sell his soul and make a deal with the Abyss for power, knowledge, chicks, and never mind the fact that he was the puppet of a being dead-set on destroying all of existence. And also not assign Rhade as his commander, since the bastard shot him in the back in the episode.

Walt: With his scary-ass undefined psychic powers.

Rob: Wouldn't ever do it. The Feegle are against that sort of thing. But if they weren't:

Give ev'rbody sich a kickin' inna shins! Nac Mac Feegle! Nae Quin, Nae King, Nae Laird, nae master! We will'na be fooled again!

Guppy would appoint a large council of advisors before deciding that he wasn't really capable and finding a better leader.

Abs would use a long term campaign of subliminal messaging before his attempt.

Shelley: Well, she could always change her mind and marry Ishamael...

What? She's damn cunning at times. She could help him with Plotting.

Havelock: Already happening, man. *Points at canon*

Harth: Well, apparently, seduce his sister. Um. ...It worked for the ancient Romans?

Jack: Dazzling smile and a sway of the hips combined with cunningly concealed high-tech lasers. Don't ask where.

Salzella: Poison all other candidates with rose thorns? Maybe?

Ducky: Ride cutely on the shoulder of the person everyone thinks is in charge...

Tim: Gadgets!

Cywyllog and Kate have no desire to take over anything.

Sikozu would hire people to do it for her. She's the brains, not the brawn.

Venkman: Guy's already taking measures toward this. Franchise out the Ghostbusters. Write a wildly successful book. Do the talk show circuit. Get a better talk show. Merchandising, baby, whoo! Fame, and money leading to power. Consider public office, and buy out the competition.

Rupert Giles: New Head of the Watcher's Council, rival the Illumanti on being behind the scenes rulers of government.

Johnny Smith: No interest in this, but a cult would likely spring up in his name that would then take over.

Todd Anderson: Again, no interest, but his poetry and quiet determination would inspire others, and they'd make him a leader anyway.

Molly O'Reilly: Her friend already has control of the world, and a religion. She'd be a key advisor.

Orhime Inoue: She would take over happily, urging people to try unusual recipes, and encourage the construction of strange looking robots with missiles shooting out of their boobs, and laser eyes (...yes, that's in her canon...) as part of her rulership.
