ARE YOU GUYS WATCHING "NIKITA" YET??

[whynot]

I forgot to mention this in my last post, but if you happen to be in a croatpocalyptic mood, I recced 6 croatverse fics on SOR.

And then I watched a lot of tv.

STUPORNATURAL



-- Okay. Sam has not, in fact, been hunting for a year with the Campbells; he's been beatboxing and spitting some ill rhymes. He's got a big following in Philly. You should see him pop and lock. Shit, did you see when Christian and him battled at the New York show? Holy eff. Speaking of holy, Cas may not answer Sam's prayers, but he secretly goes to all the concerts. His favorite song is "The Devil (Is All Up In My Shit) feat. Gwentastic".

-- "I know you, Dean. You've always wanted family," or whatever Sam said. That's not Sam knowing Dean, that's Sam projecting his own guilt. I am also very XD that although Sam was the one who pushed Dean to family, Sam was the one who found it. Verr nais.

-- THE DESIRE FOR CAMPBELL COUSINCEST IS STRONG. OMG. I love these sketchy motherfuckers already. I want fics of them growing up together, being wild and bloody and LOVING THIS LIFE. Do they remind you of the Blacks? They remind me of the Blacks. I want fics of them hazing Sam.

-- A NINE IRON INTRODUCED IN THE FIRST ACT \o/

-- Dean's rant at Bobby and Sam where he essentially channeled me and most my flist post-5x22 is A+.

-- Speaking of which. Ummm, Lisa. BEST YEAR OF YOUR LIFE? WHAT. My favorite fanwank truth for this poopery is that she's been having sex with dreamwalking!Cas every night. That would best up any year. Cas/Lisa: the new Sassy. GET ON BOARD, THIS SHIP IS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE HARBOR.

-- BADTOUCH YED/BEN OMG


NIKITAAAAAAA

-- ALEX GETTING HERSELF BEAT UP TO LOOK AT THE COMPUTERS OMG YOU GUYS WHAT A FUCKING BAMF JFC

-- AND THEN AND THEN. NIKITA COMING OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THAT BIG HONKING GUN AND THAT BADASS COAT OMG. OMG YOU GUYS.

-- Totally digging how being too good at being a mole bit Alex in the ass. But don't worry, she fixes it. Alexxxxx.

-- THING I LOVE: Nikita repeating Amanda and Michael's catchphrases while training Alex, and how odd it must feel for Alex to hear them from Amanda and Michael now.

-- "You don't know how much pain I can take," AND THEN SHE DISLOCATES HER ARM ON PURPOSE TO ESCAPE OMGGGGGGGGGGG THESE LADIIIIIIIIIIIES

-- Every time Aaron Stanford appears on screen, my heart goes "PYROOOOOOO :DDDDDD". Every time Amanda appears on screen, I expect her to be an awful human being because that's what she was on "The OC" and "The Vampire Diaries", but NO, HERE SHE IS CLASSY AND WONDERFUL <333

-- AND THEN IN THE END, THERE IS A HUG THAT IS ACTUALLY A RUSE THIS SHOWWW <333333333 THIS SHOW IS MAGIC <333333333333333333333 <33333333465465089i0ytirgi04t05


MERLIN




RIZZOLI & IIIIIIISLES

-- The procedural is not my genre, and if the leads weren't two smoking hot ladies, I would not be watching the show. Even the episode where Isles met her biological family, I was kinda like "yawn, are Rizzoli and Isles touching each other yet?"

THAT SAID.

I CRIED REAL TEARS WHEN RIZZOLI SHOT HERSELF TO SHOOT BOBBY (WHO WAS PAINFULLY OBVIOUSLY THE DIRTY ONE RIGHT FROM THE START). OMFG. JANE, YOU FUCKING BADASS MOTHERFUCKER OMFG. I was very DDD: when they shot Frankie, but then JANE. JAAAAAAAANE SUPERHOT BADASS RIZZOLIIIIIIII omg the slo-mo, omg Isles running out too laaaaaaate, omg Jane is going to kill the man who killed her brother and that cop YOU BET YOUR FUCKING ASS SHE WILL

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE

Holy crap, I never cry at TV. I blame the hormones.

Also, it's the last day to sign up for the Sassy exchange. DO IT. DO IT. DO IT.

ETA! Quick pimpage: nikitafiction, nikita_icons, nikita_vids. Okay, back to thinking about how I should totally be writing my Camelot Remix now.

...which is why it's time for another ETA: Meme time! Give me a character from any fandom I know at least fairly well, and I will tell you:
A) My OTP
B) The runner up
C) The anti-ship
D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character
E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why

Comments

Memes! Hmmm, can I have Sam Winchester? Alternatively Castiel or a Novak.

[whynot]

I will do all three because you are the first to give me characters.

Sam
a) OTP: Oh gosh, I just realized I don't really ship Sam with anyone. Well, with Castiel, at first jokingly, but now I'm becoming srser about it. So. Castiel!
b) I ship him with Morgana from 'Merlin' slightly more than I ship him with Mulder from 'X-Files', but I look forward to shipping Sam with the Campbell cousins.
c) Hmmmm, I don't really see the appeal of John/Sam (whereas I totes dig John/Dean).
d) I liked him in 6x01 and am actually looking forward to morally gray Sam, probably because I wasn't invested in this storyline the first couple of times they did it.
e) Gabriel. BECAUSE HE KILLED DEAN LIKE A HUNDRED TIMES. idgi, subsection of fandom rewriting romcoms as S/G.

Castiel
a) Castiel/Claire
b) Castiel/Anna
c) Castiel/Gabriel. I just don't ship Gabriel with anyone, I think. He's too much of a playa for me to have serious shipping feelings that aren't Gabe/Kali, and that's 'cos it's canon.
d) If you had given me Dean, I would've said Castiel for the first question. idk, I ship Dean with Cas, but Cas with other people/things. I'm a little jaded about D/C, I guess. I miss the giddiness I get from OTPing it though.
e) Ruby. Um. 'Kay. Because she was a demon. They probably had down and dirty quickies though.

Jimmy Novak
a) Castiel
b) HE ONLY HAS EYES FOR CASTIEL, OKAY Amelia :)
c) Dean/Jimmy weirds me out. (What does "anti-ship" mean anyway?)
d) I want the Novaks back in S6, or at least get canon confirmation that Jimmy is dead (or whatever else).
e) Sam. It was the gassiness, and Jimmy has a sensitive sense of smell.

[somnolentblue]

I FEEL SO SPECIAL!!! :)

Sam.d - Oh, that's interesting. I actually didn't see this as morally grey Sam, I saw it as kind of messed up, trying to do the right thing, but see above re: kind of messed up Sam. I also really hope they take teh Samuel arc somewhere interesting and worthwhile, 'cause I'm kind of perplexed by the Winchesters growing up and learning to be independent arc now interesecting with Grandpa Campbell bwuh? Granted, this is all going in the write-up/reaction I'm int eh middle of, so I'm going to stop there. :)

Sam.e - Gabriel. Yeah. I wrote Sam/Gabriel (in my defense it's really fucked up and not very nice), but I kind of agree with you there.

Jimmy.d - wait, that's an unpopular fannish opinion? Dude, they were fucking awesome! Also, someone needs to do something about Jimmy in Show, dammit, 'cause that's just painful.

Jimmy.e - *snort*

I NEED TO SLEEP OMG I NEED TO BE SLEEPING.

[whynot]

I see it as the Campbell cousins' sociopathic behavior rubbing off on Sam. Sam's trying to do the right thing, of course, but he has been hanging out with some sketchy motherfuckers. And I think that Sam and Dean growing up and learning to be independent does not mean they're learning to be *alone*. They're learning to make meaningful relationships that aren't just with each other. A safety network outside of codependent brotherhood.

If the Sam/Gabe were a hatesex dubcon darkfic then, THEN I can understand. But there is a lot of snarky Sam/Gabe fluff. That I don't understand.

idk, it seems like outside of some ppl on my flist, people don't really care about Novaks? Not hate them. Just don't care.

[somnolentblue]

Re: Winchesters: not alone, but independent and not following someone else, if that makes sense. I could see them (would adore seeing them) having allies, but I feel like they've fought so hard to be out from other people's commands that the dynamic with Samuel pinged me.

I have a really hard time incorporating Mystery Spot into fluffy Sam/Gabriel. (Mine's not hatesex dubcon, and the sex is more metaphysics than bodies. IDEK, it's weird.) Well, and Gabriel's Not Nice, no matter how you slice it, so keeping that seems important.

Wow, I see the Novaks as the most damning episode about the consequences of possession. We get a bit of the aftermath with Meg's statement about her sister, but, really, the focus is on the demons and angels, and not the bodies they're possessing. That they went there with Castiel, who's more or less a protagonist and popular, makes it even more amazing. So, yeah, NOVAKS! (I wish I had the chops to write my epic Team Free Will v2 fic, but I just don't. Le sigh. But it would have NOVAKS!)

[whynot]

I can see that, especially with how Sam's thing has always been struggling to do his own thing. But independence doesn't have to mean being your own boss all the time though. Sometimes there are times when you think to yourself, "If the needle is wise, be the thread." The decision to follow someone can still be an exertion of independence, misguided as it might be in Sam's case. And Sam did say he was hunting solo, so I don't know how often he hooks up with the Campbells anyway. Probably not all the time.

I hope it's not misguided thought :(. I want the Campbells to be not evil. Let them be dicks and morally ambiguous, but pls odn't make them straight-up evil.

Ooooh, tell me about your epic TFW v2. :D

[somnolentblue]

I'm not sure right now the dynamic with Samuel's going to be bad, but I'm... leery, I guess?

Okay, my take on TFW v2. They avert the Apocalypse, someone, in S4; Lucifer doesn't get free, handwave. However, all that does is delay things a bit; shit's still stirring. So, you end up with Ben, who Michael wants, Claire, who Castiel wants, and Jake Talley's little sister, who Lucifer wants, kicking about. The Winchesters fill Bobby's role, more or less, but there's major, major tension with Jake's sister for obvious reasons, and that never quite gets fixed.

[whynot]

AWESOME. My version of TFW: The Next Generation includes Jesse the Antichrist, who totally still thinks Cas is a dick. I think those kids from "Something Wicked" should also grow up and become hunters and develop a codependent brotherly relationship ahahaha. AND THAT GIRL FROM THE BENDERS. idk yet what I want from her. I just love The Benders episode.

[somnolentblue]

Okay, so I finally wrote up my reactions to 6.01, which means that I read your reactions to 6.01 (I write my own stuff before reading other reactions, otherwise badness happens). I, umm, blocked teh 'best year of my life' part and mostly went with 'yay they gave Lisa lines that track with her concern with Ben in S3 and she has lines and they didn't kill her.' So, yeah.

That's because The Benders is an awesome episode made of awesome! With not a lick of the supernatural in it, woot! Although IDEK what the future could hold for Missy Bender (I think that's her name), although I imagine there's some really, really rough times ahead for her.

I <3 Jesse, although I think he definitely needs to be a light touch kind of character. That's the problem with all powerful characters - they take a lot of tension out. Although his transformation of Castiel into an action figure remains utterly awesome.

In other news, I like your Raphael icon.

[whynot]

The whole "best year of my life" just makes me want to know her damage. Maybe there is some interesting backstory explains why she said it. We don't know that much about Lisa, maybe she has some fascinating sordid tale to share with us. D:

Yeah, I can't even think of that good of a reason why she would run into outside society. Maybe Michael and Asher are hunting something near her house.

My fanwank for my TFW:TNG fanon, haha, is that the end of the Apocalypse also took away some of his powers. So that's why he can hang around with Claire and Ben and not be deus ex Jesse all the time.

XD man, I cannot wait for him to show up on my screen again. RAAAAAPH
