all my keysmash are belong to you

Tomorrow's the last day for SPN Femslash Week and erasureathon sign-ups, so HAVE AT YE.

ALSO IT IS TIME FOR:



Perfect for those with small attention spans! SPAM IT WITH PROMPTS. STUFF IT WITH FILLS.

I have ( Sanctuary feels. )

Poem rec! Confessions: My Father, Hummingbirds, and Franz Fanon by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. It's about identity, representation, and the sentimental attachment to the flaws you've been told are inherent. It gets me like right here.

Speaking of poems, I wish I can remember the title and author of this one book of poetry I found in the New York Public Library last year. All I can remember of it is that it had a green cover of blurry trees (and maybe a boy?) and it had a bunch of long poems about the poet's distant father HAHAHAHAHA THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PARODY ALREADY but seriously. I was really digging it and was sad I didn't get to finish. It was at a very innocuous-looking NYPL branch close to the main branch, like a block away, and if you take the the escalator to the 2nd(?) floor, it would be in the bottom-left corner of the room. WORST CLUES EVER. RANDOM BOOK OF AWESOME POEMS, I WILL NEVER FIND YOU AGAIN basically, just like I will never again find that song whose chorus goes "hey, heeeeyyyy" or was it "mmm, mmmmmmm" and it sort of sounded like The XX. This paragraph is the most hipster thing I've ever written.

1. There was an article about how bromance movies tend to celebrate how some boys just don't grow up aww how ~presh, but that the same sentiment doesn't really extend to women. I didn't really notice this or feel its absence until Parks & Recreation's Leslie Knope gave it to me. There are some behaviors that I think society has labeled as juvenile and therefore a "phase" in girls, but Leslie embodies these behaviors AND YET the narrative doesn't punish/degrade her for it. SHOCKING?! They are presented as just another facet of a whole, happy, successful human being, and seeing this is poignantly affirming. YOU'RE OKAY, GIRLS. YOU'RE JUST FINE. You don't have to overcome yourself to ~become yourself! And I am like :'DDDD. There are all kinds of standards about what makes a woman a functional adult, and Leslie Knope dismantles the bullshit by... existing. Okay, existing fictionally, BUT STILL. BLESS YOU, AMY POEHLER.

2. I found a Hawaii 5-0 confessions blog, and it is both hilarious and disheartening how all fandoms are the same. "I miss how chummy fandom used to be." "I hate this new character, they should get rid of her." "I miss the bromance between the two white male leads." It is ONLY THE SECOND SEASON LOOOOOOOOOLOLOLOLOL. Oh, H50 fandom, hang on to your hats.

3. Does anyone here watch Sanctuary? I just finished watching the pilot and have the rest of S1-3 lined up on the torrent queue. I'm very intrigued by Dr. Magnus's character because she seems to be very much the valorized scientist of the type you find in genre stories - compassionate but paternalistic towards the Other. I wonder if this is something the show will address. (DON'T SPOIL ME THOUGH.) I'm also intrigued by Druitt because Christopher Heyerdahl is fucking ace, goddamn. This quote by him about his character that made me go, "FINE FINE OKAY I WILL WATCH SANCTUARY, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW??"

4. I know there are at least 2 Sons of Anarchy fans on my flist, but there are MORE OF YOU, RIGHT? I already babbled a little bit about how awesome the Gemma&Jax relationship is, but this post's bit of SoA love is for the Gemma&Tara friendship and how organically it developed from ENEMIES!! to mentor/mentee BFFs. Like, blink and you miss it. MASTERFULLY DONE. Anyway, what is the deal with the DA, guys? He is super weird.

5. I had the BEST DREAM last night. I call it the banana chocolate waffle burrito. So, you take a waffle, right? You pile it on with bananas, chocolate, IDK, cream and stuff. Caramel, whatever. Strawberries! ANYWAY. You put all this stuff on the waffle, then you roll it up, like a burrito, then you put it in your mouth. WAFFLE BURRITOS. I will patent this and start a franchise.

THE NEW SPN EPISODE. ( THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE IMPALAS IN FRANCE. THEY CALL IT L'IMPALA. )

In other news, I wish this WW2 AU would shut its face already. I don't even know how to spell 'lieutenant' before I spell-checked this sentence, so why do I have this rambling outline threatening to turn into actual fic? Ugh, weatheredlaw, this is all your fault. You and your WW2 AU Wincest graphic, DAMN YOU.

SPN 7x01!!!!!!!!!!

( SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

omfg, 'Nikita' is like an "I surrender!" meme come to life. It's like someone was listening to our gender meta and then went and made this show. ( Nikita 1x22 omfg )

Every second of 'Parks & Recreation' is basically heaps of joy. Leslie and Ann's friendship is recognizable, which is maybe a weird word to use, but it's like... like I didn't realize what I wanted from TV until I got it, because I never really believed TV would give me this kind of hits-home relationship, and I don't know how else to explain it without getting into my high school days and how friends work and "this, too, is worth everything" so instead let's just talk about ( Parks & Rec 3x14 )

I would say where's the fic but the canon is leaving me pretty satisfied.

In news of life continuing to kripke the crap out of fic, Misha's new project ('Divine: The Series') only needs approx $1.5K more to get funded. What is 'Divine: The Series'? It kinda sounds suspiciously like Cas AU. LOL I KNOW I ALWAYS SAY THAT but seriously. It's all, "Our story is about a young priest at a crossroads in his life. He finds himself reassigned to a run-down inner city mission. There he witnesses proof of the supernatural when a gravely injured man named Divine is resurrected from the brink of death." OH OKAY I SEE, and then it's like, "The priest must now confront his own demons as well as the dark forces that challenge Divine and threaten to plunge humanity into a dark abyss." BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! "Is there some force beyond what we can see? Does each of us have the free will to decide our destiny or are our decisions preordained by a higher power?" Okay. I think I have both watched this show and read this fic. Not that I'm complaining.

So yeah, I'll be looking forward to this one. Hey fandom, what's the deal with this priest? Jimmy's cousin? Estranged Glaser brother? Is Seb Roche really gonna star in a TV movie called The Blood of Pegasus?

I usually post pictures of thingstiels on my tumblr, but I made an exception this weekend and 6x20-spammed the shit out of it. I apologize if you are only there for the trees and deer. If any of the rest of you are interested in my 6x20 spam and corresponding completely coherent and entirely unemotional commentary, you can find it under this very accurate tag.

Spoilers under the cut.

( oh my fucking god )

Later there will be another 6x20 post dedicated specifically to DEAN'S FACE OH MY GOD THE FACES HE MADE, but for now, I invite you all to come play here:

HOLD. EVERYTHING. I can't believe I forgot to post about this earlier, BUT you know who is so very lovely? anjali_organna is, because she made me Castiel/Kalinda ficlet/art, YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. Castiel and Kalinda. Oh god, I must have 20k more words of this immediately. Theirs is a relationship initially based on favors, then a weird sort of affection, and then WOAH THEY'RE MAKING OUT, GETTING IT ON LIKE THE BEASTS THEY ARE, WOAH HEY. Shut up, that's exactly how it went.

My reaction to Doctor Who 6x01 ( is not very coherent. )

Last but not least, ( SPN 6x18 + 6x19 promo feelings )

VID REC: Moving by veryval | BBC Merlin | G | the knights | 3:26
A tribute to the knights. Not only did it make me feel feeeeeelings, it made me want random knight ships more than usual. Lancelot/Leon: valiant loyalty and fabulous hair.

Speakinna which, Merlin S4 spoilers and ( my thoughts. )

Oh hey hey hey, MOFUCKING HAWAII FIVE OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH. ( H50 1x20 HOLY SHIT )

No seriously, I love Iron Chef and seeing the Chairman as Wo Fat is absofuckinglutely DEEEEELIGHTFUL because I just love him so much, okay, so much, and this is why and I refuse to put it behind a cut:


Hey, Doctor Who fans, what are your favorite Ten episodes and Ten fics?
