They make me push the pram a lot.

[whynot]

Prince Arthur = fanon Draco? He's not a bad guy, just an asshole with an angst-ton of daddy issues who is full of himself. He's a little misguided, having a sociopath for a father, but he's not stupid and his heart is true. Really, all he needs is someone to help redeem him and guide him, someone who calls him out on his bullshit, and also some buttsex, and he will do great things.


OKAY SO. Was it just that I had been drinking all night before (and, uh, during) watching THE BEGINNING OF THE END (omg), or was the plot actually... compelling? Arthur's face (OMG HIS FACE <3333) isn't even the only redeeming thing, nor was the hoyay redeeming, being KIND OF NONEXISTENT. BBC WHERE IS OUR GAY. BUT. On to the hooray. Threats to kill dangerous children! Morgana kicking so much ass! Arthur being all noble and taking care of kingly business, and also saving people (who aren't even Merlin)! Capable and valiant Arthur is my favorite!

I was watching it with my friend, to whom I had been building up the hoyay sooooooo much. I felt fairly cheated when, AGAIN, IT WAS NOT THERE. But then she brought up a good point: "I'm feeling lots of Uther/Morgana here." UH, YEAH. It is kind of a creepy ship, but since when has being creepy ever stopped me doing anything. Uther/Morgana and its power games and mindfuckery, oh I would read it.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT. MERLIN/MORGANA. ALL OVER THE PLACE. I... think I like it?! Merlin and Morgana, fighting injustice and keeping their boundless magical powers a secret OR ELSE THEY WOULD DIE. 'Kay, I don't do official recs anymore 'cos ya'll should just check out my delicious, but while we're on this subject, there is awesome Merlin/Morgana fic this way.

Arthur/Morgana/Merlin: best thing or BESTEST THING?

My friend called the kid being Mordred. I kind of didn't figure it out until ten seconds before the revelation. Ya, even with the episode title and all.

Can we really not escape our destinies? This show is so fucking campy, I have a hard time imagining the tragic endgame that we all know is to come.


Why are my best-beloved fandoms British-esque and set in the past? "Write what you know", I'm doing it wrong.

The internet gave my computer herpes because I was superdumb and looked for Episode 8 in some seriously sketchy sites. A typo-ridden message keeps on offering to download spyware for me, and sometimes it starts to before I'm like OH NO YOU DON'T. I think have gotten rid of everything except the .dll file, because I can't delete it if it is in use... YEAH, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE. So I guess I'm going to the IT helpdesk tomorrow.


ETA: I've changed my Merlin icon for completely superficial reasons.

Son of ETA: kingandward, an Uther/Morgana community. THAT'S RIGHT.

apparently all of BBC is.

i haven't seen either of those. i've heard of FNL but i don't know what farscape is about at all. have you ever watched 'early edition', which is the show the FNL coach was on before about a newspaper that came a day early? um, that was my favorite show for a time, heh.

Friday Night Lights is FANTASTIC. i am going through it right now, and it is fabulous television. although it helps if you like sports movies, but ohmygod.

farscape is about an astronaut that gets shot through a wormhole and ends up in a distant part of a galaxy, on a living ship with a bunch of alien criminals. the crack is fantastic but manages to actually be GOOD. also, ben browder in leather pants with guns (http://www.ben-browder.com/fanlisting/fans.jpg).

i have not seen that, no.

i have become increasingly intrigued by supernatural, especially with my recent "y so british" grousing about my fandoms. but we'll see, merlin and narnia short-circuit my brain often enough already.

uhhhhh bed i am writing a wee 5 things merlin/arthur ficlet (of the non-crackover variety?!) and it was gonna be called something like "4 ways merlin is a crap servant and 1 way he's not", but i can't think of the one way he's not because he's pretty much a crap servant overall, full stop!

supernatural is very americana.

well, merlin is pretty good at saving arthur's life, and also taking the blame when arthur does something stupid.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

yeah i talk about the life-saving thing, and how even when he's saving arthur's life, it's in the most inconvenient way possible viz. ep 4. it's arthur POV, so he's in the dark about a lot of merlin's awesome. the blame thing is good, and maybe i can use that thing we commentficced where merlin and arthur are drinking after the whole edwin debacle.

wanna give it a onceover when i finish?!
