It's totally the fault of writing the Merlin&Will fic that I went and watched 'Skins'. 'Cos when I mentioned Will in the past, people'd say, "Oh, you mean that guy from Skins!" So, with a renewed interest, off I went intertubing through the 'net, and went straight for the episode called 'Chris'. Who is of course the character Will plays.

THE THING IS. I was in the library at the time, working on my statistics homework and watching internet TV. (I caught up a bit with 'Heroes' during it. Since my homework was mostly grunt work and 'Heroes' has become mediocre, the two of them combined kept my mind fully engaged.) SO. The first scene was Will having an erection, then pissing on himself, and then we get a gratuitous ass shot. I was like, "WOAH, TONE IT DOWN THERE, WE'RE IN PUBLIC. (NICE BUTT!)" But I figure no one ever looks at anyone else's computer screens anyway (...right?) so whatever. But then we get to the part where that girl and that guy who looks familiar were taking off their clothes, and that was the end of watching 'Skins' in the computer lab.

THAT GUY, WHO LOOKS FAMILIAR? Is that kid from 'About a Boy'! wtf?! The kid from 'About a Boy' was taking off his clothes on the library computer!

omg, this show is hilarious. It's just a little off-beat and cute, and FUNNY, and I just wanna hang out with Sid. It's got excellent moments, like Will standing in the middle of the road with the boner of death and a broken heart. And Sid whole's interaction with that messed up girl in the beginning, hahaha. And everyone sleeping together in a big dogpile in the living room <33 omg adorable. And everything about Will and the wardrobe omfg, hilarious and heartbreaking and absurd. I'm watching it as I'm writing this. You guys who watch 'Skins', which episodes have the most Will in them?

omg Will's butt is all over the place! All scenes involving Will's butt are awesome, especially the one with the guy in the bathtub.


Elle/Claire is pretty sexy and feels like boyslash. Claire/HRG is still inappropriately heated. [OMG WILL'S EMO RUN THROUGH THE PARK <33333. Wiiiilllllll. And the scene at his dad's house? Holy shit. Good stuff.] Elle/Sylar, I like it when she was shooting lightning bolts at him in revenge. But then they made out and it was too soon. I might feel Peter/Claire where I didn't before. And Nathan&Peter bromance is still awesome.

I noticed I was liking things that I hadn't liked before: Claire's valiant brattiness and the dweebing down (a.k.a. rushed redemption) of antagonists. 'Heroes': I'd only think it's good if I were doing statistics homework?

It's been a good week for TV-watching on the internet. Still don't care about 'Lost'. (MAKE ME CARE AGAIN, 'LOST'.) Randomly getting into 'House' again. Of that I have this to say: House/Cuddyyyyyy. OH AND 'KINGS'. Let me tell you about 'Kings'. It's like this:

Kings = Merlin - crack + srs bsns

It's a 'Merlin' Americanmonarchy!AU. If I described bits of the first episode using no names, you wouldn't know which show I was talking about. The crazy king, the bratty prince, the valiant parvenu, and ~*~DESTINY~*~. Arthur/Jack, guys?!

KIIIIIIIIINGS. I love that show sfm. (Though it makes me sad when I keep hearing people say David is boring, since I think he's really adorable. He, Jack and Rose are my favorites). As similarities between the two shoes go, I especially like how Merlin's going to get its time slot this summer. Fandom needs to write more crossovers between them, though I have seen a few good ones already, at least.

And I've been wanting to watch Skins because of Will, too. I might have to when I have time to marathon a show.

Haha, oh fandom! I love how everyone is totally seeing the Kings/Merlin parallels. So by transitive property... Merlin/Bible parallels?? And yes, Queen Rose is the motherfucking man, I <3 her.

Skins is totally like my happy place right now. I love all the characters, even Tony the douchebag, and I wanna hug Sid and Cassie forever and ever ever. AND ALSO MAXXIE. And Anwar. and Chris and his craziness omg everyone everyone! I'm watching the series 1 finale tonight while I do homework, it will be glorious.
