"You're not allowed to talk to your neighbours until you've nodded at them for fifteen years."
"I was on Omegle today, pretending to be a lesbian chick so I could get nudes. Me and this girl got into a long conversation which consisted mostly of playful sexual banter. She finally suggested we trade nudes, to which I responded ‘You first.’ After a moment passed, a reply came from the other end: ‘lets face it dude, we’re both dudes pretending to be lesbian women to get nudes’." -- from here
And because fandom has trained me well, my first reaction was "aww, creepiness aside, that would make a cute AU hehehe". (CUTE AU ASIDE, THAT WOULD BE CREEPY, but) Merlin and Arthur would totally continue talking to each other post-reveal, out of boredom at first, but they end up being sort of... friends ("got any nudes today?" "not yet!"). And then Merlin's like, "Hey, so maybe we should grab drinks sometime. Not in a date way. I mean, unless... I mean we're guys and this is a dating site for lesbians and we're not lesbians so it's not a date. ...Uh."
YOU KNOW WHICH SHOW YOU GUYS SHOULD WATCH? Being Human. It's a werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost living together in Bristol, being an adorable banter-y OT3 and trying to cultivate some normalcy in their lives. They love each other a lot, and protect each other from muggles, evil vampires, and ~themselves~. When someone is having angst over being a ghost/werewolf/vampire, the others are all "Operation Cheer Up The Roommate"! Also, sometimes they accidentally kiss or end up on the sofa together. I mean, what do you want me to do?
Let's talk about George, Annie, and Mitchell (and ~issues~), and their SPARKLY FOREVER LOVE.
Not only is it a sparkly forever love, it is a sparkly forever SEXY love. Hurrah!
The guy on the left is George, the werewolf. He's kind of uptight. He screams like a girl a lot and gets tongue-tied around women. He became a werewolf a few years ago. He's got a lot of self-loathing, and Mitchell says he isn't sure if it's because George is werewolf or because he's Jewish. He's disconnected from the wolf in him though. When surveying a room he decimated during the full moon, he asked "What did it do?" It, not 'I'.
The lady in the middle is Annie. <3 Annie! She is charming and sweet and open, and isn't sure why she hasn't passed on to the next world yet. Not everyone can see her. Annie misses her fiance Owen and is still in love with him. Since Owen is George and Mitchell's landlord, sometimes Owen would come round and Annie would TRY AND KEEP IT TOGETHER :(. Her storyline is my favorite. She and George are manic in that way that vulnerable people are. They're both still figuring out how this being supernatural works.
Mr. McHotass on the right is Mitchell, a vampire, one of those ones that don't drink blood or mind the sunlight. He's been dead the longest of the three, having been turned during World War I. He doesn't want to kill anyone. He's totally on the wagon! Except for when he's not. Also, he gets pestered by the evil vampires to join the winning side. Also, his smile lights up the room! AND HE LOVES HIS WEREWOLF GHOST FRIENDS SO MUCH. I reckon since he's got death seniority, he ends up being a bit of a big brother.
SOMETIMES THEY MAKE BLANKET FORTS AND SEX IN IT apparently. S2 promo shot:
CAPSLOCK ENGAGE. KEYSMASH ON FULL POWER.
Whichever ones of you have been pimping this show on the flist: GOOD CALL. I totally fell for it. \o/

On prejudice--
George: Do you know the difference between you and [this other werewolf]?
Mitchell: Mmm, I don't know, I don't have to shave my palms?
George: I, I think that's actually racist.

On that time of the month--
Mitchell: We've got work and then it's his time of the month.
Annie: Oh god, I used to hate that. Curl up on the sofa, Pride and Prejudice, if anyone spoke to me I'd bite their head off. Of course, that's probably likely for you. The biting.

On making friends with the neighbors--
Mitchell: We can't just dip our toe! We have to dive into the churn of humanity. Laugh with them, listen to their stories.
George: About Vin Diesel?
Mitchell: A remarkable man, I'm starting to realise.

And of course I started watching because Tovey was one of the History Boys. I love my History Boys.

I heard about this pilot, but I haven't seen it. Another thing on the to-do. I still have to watch George and Annie's prequels.

I was also reading an article about online chatrooms, and how a) the scarcity of women means they can pick and choose and b) therefore men need to display themselves to attract women who might want to go into a private chatroom with them and therefore c) because of a and b, the chatrooms are often full of guys sitting around chatting about whatever, while displaying erotically charged pictures of themselves for the benefit of non-existent women but also possibly each other.

And then they recast, and everyone was really mad (on my flist), and I tried to watch the first episode and had to turn it off. I... I don't know. It's gonna take more than one pimppost to convince me.
TALK ME INTO IT! I invite you.

I have a soft spot for situations where there a group of (possibly exiled) people who are the ONLY ONES who really ~get~ each other, and end up kind of making their own world because of it. Finding refuge in being together.
And remember when George tries to give Annie HAUNTING LESSONS, and was like, "Be like... I AM DEATH. I AM DARKNESS. And hiss more!"
