holidays & what they do to you [Nov. 25th, 2010|10:38 am]
[info]brogue had it right when he wrote his 3 AM treatise on love.

Hey, you. Yeah, all of you.

I goddamn motherfucking love you.


I am happy when you are in my life. One day, I am going to buy a farm and we're all going to have a gigantic IJ holiday. I am going to cook my Appalachian/Southern lady ass off. We will eat, drink and be merry little epicureans.

[info]walburga, there will be pumpkin pie. [info]bilo, there will be tofurkey. There will be EVERYTHING.

Now, I am going to post a video. Be thankful it's not Taylor Swift.

A trip to the gym, two mojitos and some horse time (and some Glee time, I had to see Groff doing ballet) later ... I come home to a mansplosion. All fans of Jon Hamm want to (c)lick this link.

Now? I pass out.

Choose one or more of my characters & one or more of yours, and I'll tell you what song they would dedicate to them at 3 am on the radio/WWN/internet, without telling them they're doing it beforehand, on the off-chance that maybe they'll hear it, and it'll matter.


I'll either link to YT or upload the song, if I've got it. :)

Dearest deers & chickadees of every variety on my esteemed FList,

Who here enjoys a delightful romp of carnage, magic and intrigue? Who just ridiculously enjoyed the taboo action and thematic elements of Inglorious Basterds?

Or maybe, okay, you wish W.B. Yeats had been born in your generation so you could beat the shit out of Maud Gonne and show the poor man what love is really like ... (okaythat'spersonalomgsorry).

Well. Then, perhaps, [info]gyremods is for you.

The inspired brainchild of [info]walburga (and I helped a little), [info]gyremods will be a dark AU MWPP era RPG that borrows more than a little from IB.

Yes, there will be terror. Yes, there will be Basterds. And God forgive us, there will be a complete lack of the sacred.

And as for the ending? Well ... it will be determined by you.

HOLDS (except for the few already up there) begin on 20 February (in whatever timezone you are in). We plan to start the game on 1 March.

Please utilize this post -- or [info]walburga's post -- for any questions you may have.

Think about it. We'd love to play with you. ♥

BEST SUPERNATURAL EPISODE EVER.



Also Vampire Diaries was pretty good. But I feel like they're ~*consistently awesome*~.

SUCK IT, I LIKE THAT SHOW. SUCK IT, STEFAN. SUCK IT, ELENA.

TEAM DAMON/KATHERINE.

Also, I am in a fabulous mood.

Kara Thrace is apropos, hmm? [Dec. 14th, 2009|10:27 pm]
Everybody has their squicks just as much as everybody has their go-to scenes of choice as far as role play is concerned. I understand that all too thoroughly. I can admit that I love the high drama. I love it when cultural paradigms are challenged and people have to fight to reconcile their identities in the world.

So let it be known before I even begin to discuss what’s below the cut that I am not singling anyone out. I welcome comments, I covet thoughts and opinions, but I am certainly not setting out to call anyone onto the carpet. I’m much too chickenshit for that.

I have an opinion, a laptop and an internet connection. Therefore, sorry for you, you get to read it (or not as I am so damn polite that I put all this bullshit beneath a cut tag).

NOTE: There is little organization or structure to this morass of words. I don't have the heart to give it further or more complete organization. I'm simply happy with my stream-of-consciousness tl;dr. And I never tl;dr. I'm known for being concise. So there.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FEMINISTS GONE: Or How I Went to School & Learned to Wank Theoretical Terms All Over My Friends )

ETA: I just cried. I love you all!!

this has happened before, and it will all happen again. [Dec. 6th, 2009|12:45 am]
For [info]walburga on the eve of a very momentous decision on your part, my darling.

Also for [info]andrewryan, who lives where this was FILMED & so must do her duty as a good citizen & watch!

TENMULTIPLE REASONS TO WATCH BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

1. Well written, character driven story-arcs that actually pay off. Sometimes they pay off in a few episodes, sometimes a whole season & a few ... well. The whole series. I won't bring up my quibbles with the story but suffice it to say, those quibbles are anathema to the amazingness & the interesting accessibility of the story. And the problem with sci-fi is that it is often so INACCESSIBLE. You know - pristine spaceships years & years in the future. It's part of the reason I fell in love with Terminator Salvation. They're dirty, sweaty, fighting in the mud and the much to maintain the right to simply live.

2. The music. Bear McCreary is an awesome composer and his music is so central to the heart of the story. Oh, and, he uses a VERY awesome Dylan song at several significant moments during the series.

3. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace (and her special destiny). As the character from the original series was male, it was so great to see the characteristics impressed upon a woman and then explored in greater depth. Well, she's my favourite character. Shit-talking ace fighter pilot with more skeletons in her closet than clothes. She and Blair Williams would either be fast friends or bitter enemies. But I love her (and relate to her) in so many ways.

4. All the ladies, really. Kara, Roslin, Six, Ellen, D'Anna, Sharon, Athena, Hera, Cain. I am also going to include the ship - the Galactica - among the list of women central to the story. These were some of the most physically strong and emotionally enduring women in television. While the male characters were excellent in their own right, so many of the women drove the plot with their own flaws and desires.

5. Saul Tigh and Bill Adama: the Bromance. That is all I am going to say.

6. ... and then, there is the gun show. The principal players being Karl Agathon, Lee Adama (except for when he looked like this) and Samuel T. Anders. They're manly men with hearts of gold who FEEL THEIR FEELINGS.

7. ALL THE LOVE TRIANGLES. Buahaha. My favourite being the Lee-Kara-Sam triangle. OBVIOUSLY.

8. The tension between ancient polytheism and emerging monotheism. Coming to a conclusion on the definition of true humanity when even the machines can bleed.

9. THE DRUMS.

10. Laura and Bill. Especially when there is cannabis involved.

11. FRAK

12. Dr. Gaius Baltar. And sometimes he even looks like Jesus. XD

13. The fearlessness in portraying sympathetic homosexual characters that are not FLAMING GAY and basically a stereotypical re-telling of Jack from Will & Grace.

14. Imagery, mythopoeia and OMG THE LIGHTING.

15. The Opera House.

Basically, I just love Battlestar Galactica and I definitely urge you to watch it. There's beauty in the story, far more than what I have explained for fear of spoilerizing, but you will definitely be doing yourself a favour. ♥
