in conclusion: KALINDAAAAAAA

Okay, people who haven't joined the party on [livejournal.com profile] 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:

sort of OT

I hate that facial scars = villain. It's really saying something horrible about the idea that there's such a thing as a physical manifestation of evil.

Those eyebrows however are awesome.

May I co-sign your open letter? Because I just happened to watch both episodes tonight, and never was a more perfect comment ever made. Seriously, I'm just waiting for the episode about how Morgana's face' got stuck like that." Or the one where Sam and Morgana get into a smirk-off.

I watched a couple episodes of the Good Wife on the plane to Vancouver this summer and it was really awesome-I should try to pick it up for real--

And I would go over to the Sharp Teeth meme, but I have already been playing hooky from my help_pakistan fic by writing shameless H50 porn, so....

This makes Morgause and Cenred the Campbells.
well, they do have that creepy compound thing going on! I would love to see Sam and Morgana make out--but they'd have to get her a whole stack of milk boxes to stand on. Though I guess he could just pin her up against a wall, as is his wont...

Yeah, I don't know if I could write an actual H50 story--it seems to be a nothing-but-porn venture for me (if you count h/c as a specialized kink, which I do). Distracting, tho'....

DON'T FORGET THE CANE OF EVILNESS. AND THE GLOVES. And generous amount of gratuitous and tight leather.

LOOK AT THIS SEXY CHICK.


No wonder I always root for the 'villains'.
