in conclusion: KALINDAAAAAAA

[whynot]

Okay, people who haven't joined the party on sharp_teeth: what the shit, why have you not? The prompts and the fic have been rocking my world. Some of the prompts are almost fics in their own right, so creeptastic. Here is a masterlist of fics written so far. There is even a list of unfilled prompts sorted by fandom for your convenience! Just click over to the comm, and the first 6 posts are them. And ummmm, if any of you feel like writing my Duck Tales or Magic School Bus prompts, I will love you forever, foreverever.

THE GOOD WIFE, GUYS. I've only seen through 2x01, but can I take a minute here? Can we talk about how Alicia is one of the most relateable female characters on TV? And how the series starts out with her at a very vulnerable point and you get sucked into that, into her stumbling and fumbling, and then you see her accrue victories and it is SO FULFILLING. CAN WE TALK ABOUT HER YELLING AT THE DOUCHEY JUDGE FOR VIOLATING FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS? fjklsfjls Can we talk about how WILL LOOOOOOOOVES ALICIA OMG HE LOVES HER SO MUCCCHHHHH eeeeeee gtfo Chris Noth. Can we talk about how Chris Noth will never not be Mr. Big to me. CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW EVEN THOUGH I AM 100% WILL/ALICIA, I LOOOOOOVE THAT SHE REJECTS WILL BECAUSE SHE WANTS A PLAN, NOT A ROMANCE?

CAN WE TALK ABOUT KALINDA? I AM INCAPABLE OF TALKING ABOUT KALINDA, MY HEAD TENDS TO EXPLODE. CAN WE TALK ABOUT KALINDA/FBI AGENT?!?!?!? Lana Delaney, is it? CAN WE TALK ABOUT KALINDA/HER?!?!??? YOU GUUUUUYYYYSSSS I AM SO BLOWN AWAY



YOU GUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSS

HOW ARE THEY

WHAT IS THIS

OMG FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELIIIIIIIIIIIIINGSSSSSS

Oh, and that episode told from jury POV? 1x18? I legit got shivers at the end of that episode. I have never been more disturbed and heartbroken by an hour of television. jfc, that episode made me want to cry and punch something. I LOVE IT. THIS SHOW.

LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE I LOVE. DIANE OF COURSE. DIANE/BALLISTICS GUY LOL THEY ARE ADORABLE. AND OMG THE KIIIIIIDS kids kids kids who lie to the feds to keep their dad out of prison!! This show is good at douchebag villains too. I hate everyone they want me to hate, which is... rare. Maybe because this show takes characterizations of women that are usually attributed to antagonists and makes them protagonistic, which is totally a word btw? I'm thinking of Diane and Kalinda. In an alternate dimension, the heart of this show is Peter trying to find redemption, and Alicia is little more than The Long-Suffering Wife. I'm glad we are not in that dimension.

ANYWAY, MORE ABOUT DOUCHEBAGS. I WAS >:( at Cary and the mother-in-law at first, ugh, how terrible they were, but then Cary became weirdly likable and the mother-in-law squirted a garden hose at that woman lolol.

I don't even like lawyering shows. The courtroom scenes tend to trigger my embarrassment squicks. But this show. But the magic of Kalinda and Alicia and Diane and omg.


In lieu of an actual reaction post to the latest Merlin and SPN, I wrote this open letter instead.

Dear Sam and Morgana, I think you forgot this:

I triiiiied. But I cannot take Dean's manpain seriously. Tho there are some epic fics, I will admit.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

lol, it is a lot of manpain to take. Can you be lured in by Sam's manpain? Or Castiel's angelpain? And then, of course, there is the cult of beloved side characters...

[odditycollector.livejournal.com]

lol. Maybe the cult of side characters; the universe is fairly interesting if you are into the mythical stuffs. But said cult is not immediately apparent.

Alternatively: crack fic.

Though I do not regret my foray into spn episodes. I can't enjoy fic if I'm unfamiliar with the canon, and now I can follow recs from my flist and stuff. And find creepy interpretations of random photoshoots!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, which episodes have you watched? From which season mostly? My favorite S1 is 1x18 because yay family reunions :'). S3, Mystery Spot, definitely. S5, omg 5x04, The End, my all-time favorite ep because it is ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE AU.

You know what might be interesting Cliff notes for SPN to catch-up are episodes 4x18 and 5x09, because they are full of parody and fourth wall lulz.

And have you read the fic where Castiel buys a cellphone (http://maskedfangirl.livejournal.com/11625.html)? I'll quote the author: "People tell me this is crack. I swear it's what really happened."

I have; it was lolz.

I've seen maybe half of seasons 4 and 5, and all of season 1. Season one some time ago, though.

my all-time favorite ep because it is ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE AU.
MAY HAVE PICKED THAT UP SOMEHOW. ;)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

RIGHT RIGHT, whoops, I forget sometimes that people I don't have regular SPN conversations with might know of my SPN proclivities, hahaha, because unlike me THEY ARE AWARE OF THINGS. SOMEHOW YOU MAY HAVE PICKED UP ZOMBIE A LITTLE BIT. XDDDD

5x04 may have recently been placed by 6x03 as all-time favorite though, I am not entirely sure.

Another lolz one from S3 is "Ghostfacers", which is a Ghost Hunters parody. From S2, "Hollywood Babylon" is lolzy, and sort of "Tall Tales" also, but it introduces a character that becomes important later on.

Well, you know, I HAVE had you on my subscriptions for SOMETHING OF A WHILE. Which means, at the least, you are an easy point for research. You cannot be SO surprised.

I am slowly working through other episodes. I'm not sure if I'm willing to admit it on journal yet, because of how I am not sure yet how much I am willing to commit to spn. WHY ARE YOU ALL ABOUT THE WHITE DUDE MAINPAIN, SHOW? (...And secretly I have tried spn as an experiment to see if I can, indeed, get into such, which I am admitting b/c I am into my third case of beer. Whatever. Maybe I'll write Claire Novak drabbles after all. I have a bunny for one.)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

"The White Dude Manpain Show" is pretty much the real title of Supernatural. Honestly when it was a MOTW show, I had no interest in it, but when angels&apocalypses started happening, I became intrigued. With that as my point of entry, I started appreciating the MOTW aspect too, and now all of it is my crack.

CLAIRE NOVAK YES. She is my favorite character to barely have any lines ever. The situation she has to deal with is just so weird and heartbreaking. When she grows up, she's either gonna be Buffy or Luna Lovegood.

[odditycollector.livejournal.com]

When she grows up, she's either gonna be Buffy or Luna Lovegood.
Well. Or a harder to keep down Faith.

(Not what I believe, really, but lets not not keep our options open here.)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

With characters this minor, all we have are open options. ;) It's what I love.

[odditycollector.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't mind trading it for more canon, for honest.

Unless it is stupid canon. Maybe I should take that back.
