+ I watched The Princess and the Frog, and DR. FACILIER IS THE BESTEST, OMG. What a great villain! AND HIS SHADOW. HIM AND HIS SHADOW, partners in crime! And the shadow monsters he conjured? BESTEST CREEPIEST HENCHMONSTERS. Where's the Facilier fic, gimme gimme.

I also wasn't expecting to laugh as much as I did. GRANDMA FLASHED THE NEIGHBORS AGAIN. She is a waitress -- DO NOT KISS HER. Also, we actually had an on-screen death! How do you like them apples? NGL, when Ray joined Evangeline up in the sky, that was when I laughed loudest. This movie is ridiculous, and sweet, and yay. I also like Mama Odie's snake.

In conclusion: DR. FACILIER.



+ And then I watched Being Human 2x01.

- GEORGE/NINA, YOU GUYS. OMG. Last season I was like, "Oh, they're cute I guess," BUT NOW. OMG. THE FIGHT IN THE BEDROOM. AND THEN CRYING ON HIS KNEES INTO HER SCRUBS AT THE HOSPITAL. I don't even need fic for these two, I'm so ;__; and <33<333 at the canon werewolf love already. GEORGE/NINA. It takes my heart, THEN BREAKS IT, and I love iiiiit.

- I also love how George is naked like 50% of the time. What, he's got a nice butt.

- "IF YOU DO, I'LL GIVE YOU FUCKING RABIES." Just, Nina dealing with being a werewolf. <33

- "OKAY, I'M GOING TO--" *POOF!* Annie is still the best. ESPECIALLY AT THE END, when her constant tea-making is vindicated at last! Perfect mirror to 1x01, when she made the teas and no one drank them. Now she made the teas and EVERYONE drank them! And it makes me fsldjfskld with joy.

- "HE'S NOT THAT HANDSOME. CAN WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?"
"I'M A WEREWOLF."
"I GUESS HE'S FAIRLY HANDSOME."

- OT3 has become OT4 and I heartily approve. Annie and Nina are BFFing already omg so great.

- "SHE'S THE LAST PERSON WHO NEEDED YOU." Gah, the whole scene with the vampire and her daughter on the hospital bed, omgggggg.

In conclusion: OMG <3

I did a Being Human mini-pimp post, but you should also check out [livejournal.com profile] heather11483's pimp post because it's more thorough and has MOAR PICTURES of everyone being pretty and in love with each other. Yes.

+ Unnecessary AU #478932: Street food vendors AU. HEAR ME OUT. I was rewatching the Street Food episode about Manhattan and Brooklyn, and THERE IS LIKE. This UNDERBELLY OF STREET FOOD VENDORS, with arbitrary health inspectors ("Your cart is 9 feet away from the crosswalk instead of 10, and also your license isn't displayed properly. A THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE, IF YOU PLEASE."), and pesky anonymous food critics from the Village, and TURF WARS.

TURF WARS.

This Iranian guy was like, "Yeah, these Jordanians stationed their cart down the street from me and they're taking my business! They won't move!" And the police refuse to get involved in street vendor disputes. There's gotta be like a street food vendor council or something. The Arab mafia must totally have their fingers in the street food vendor pie. Also, check it, some food carts can cost up to tens of thousands of dollars, and getting a license to vend at hot spots in New York can cost you your first-born. Some guy paid $300,000 to vend for 3 years in front of the MoMA.

Fuck it, this doesn't even have to be AU fic, it can totally be original fiction. IT'S A HARD KNOCK LIFE SELLING GYROS ON THE MEAN STREETS OF NEW YORK.

+ lol, I fail at writing [livejournal.com profile] 3sentence Mordred&Morgana fic. Out of the 18 prompt words I've written, only 3 are 3 sentences. So maybe it's a fail, but also a win! I'll probably stop at 25 instead of going the whole 50, at this rate. In any case, can anyone beta/Britpick for me? :D?

1. There is kind of already a book about this. It is called The Pushcart War. I read it when I was a kid. But you should totally update it to involve health inspectors adn food critics and turf wars with the Jordanians down the street.

2. HAVE YOU SEEN BRONX FLAVOR, BEST PUBLIC ACCESS TELEVISION SHOW EVER?

Ha, that book looks cute. I have not seen Bronx flavor, as I watch all my TV online. WHAT NEWS FROM THE BRONX, GOOD LADY?

You can totally watch it online. Try the Legend of Van Cortlandt Park. It's about that awesome carrot cake shop near Van Cortlandt Park.
