Epic Die Hard rewatch - who's in?
Mar. 29th, 2010 02:48 pmI come to you today with a proposal. One that will, gods of action willing, bring you great joy. I propose an epic Die Hard rewatch party, spread over a week or two. We will worship at the altar of the great GODDAMN JOHN MCCLANE, quote lines at each other, analyze things that don't need to be analyzed, and generally make fannish idiots of ourselves. Who's in?
random observation
Mar. 22nd, 2010 12:54 amSo, I think that if I ever ship real people, it will be Joan Jett, Craig Ferguson, and Ewan MacGregor, and I will ship them with EVERYONE. I will ship them with trees, bees, planes, trains, automobiles and mobile phones. I will ship them with the ardvaarks, and I will ship them with the hyenas. I will ship them in the mornings, and late at night. I will ship them with ships. Oh, will I ship them.
Such is my glittery fangirl adoration for these people.
Disclaimer: I don't actually ship them with anyone.

Craig interviews Desmond Tutu
Feb. 16th, 2010 02:58 pmSee tag: Craig is love. There can be no disagreement on this point.
On 3/4/09 Craig Ferguson devoted his show to a long interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Tutu is always worth watching - his spirit is incredible.

I honestly wish this interview had been longer.

I needed some cheering up. Kijikun was like, I'll write something - what should I write for you, bb? And I was like, crack fic, my love. With ducks. Then she was like, O.o. I'll try? Then I was like, it'd go like this...
And then I 2500 words of a story where God is a duck, and the angels of Supernatural frolick naked, (albeit in a totally platonic fashion), in a pond, and Michael is a duckling.
Should I finish and post this story?

The archangel Michael is a woman!
Nov. 9th, 2009 07:15 pmI propose that this season of Supernatural should end with Michael taking an alternate vessel, and throwing down with Mark!Lucifer. Said vessel being Gina Torres. y/y?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Oct. 12th, 2009 12:53 pmHappy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canuckians!
On this day of thanks (ok, last night through to this morning), I wrote a story about a demon. LOLWUT SELF? I've been working on an overdue story, and it's driving me nuts. I thought, ok, I'll just fiddle with something else. Write some drabbles, take my mind off it, and then I'll finally be able to finish the damn thing. Then this fell out.
Title: Invictus
Summary: That wasn't the lie; she remembered being human. In better detail than she liked, really. The lie was everything else.
Characters: Sam/Ruby, Azazel, Dean
Word Count: 3328
Warnings: ADULT for violence and implied sex. Also, there's Sam, through Ruby's eyes. Be warned. :/
Spoilers: All of S4
Don't let that Sam/Ruby tag fool you, this isn't a romance, and this isn't a particularly sympathetic Ruby. It's a really nasty Ruby, and one I think that I'll return to. Now that I've done demon!Ruby, and sketched out the beginnings of a back story, I think I have to write that story - how she got that way.
Let me tell you some things I've decided about Ruby.
She lived through the Black Death, not the Great Plague of London (which was the last time that the "plague was big," as she put it, iirc), and she is from Italy.
She was very influenced by the stirrings of the Renaissance around her: she was educated, and she studied alchemy, necromancy, and ancient religious texts, in addition to local witchcraft. She might have been a scientist, had she been born a man.
She was one of the most powerful witches of her time. She was also, as her time ran out, increasingly desperate to find ways to kill demons. This meant dipping into darker and darker magic.

As most of you crazy kids know, my new obsession last year was Supernatural. I've just spent the last few weeks catching up on the series, and have now seen the whole damn thing through, and some episodes multiple times. Here's a list of things I've come to appreciate about the show: ( Read more... )
Fandom isn't a village
Oct. 8th, 2009 04:54 pmFandom isn't a village. It's a loose federation of towns, cities and nation-states, with various forms of government, including: anarchy, oligarchy, representative and direct democracy, aristocracy, and dictatorship.

Flossy, flossy!
Oct. 7th, 2009 05:36 pmI think I need filk of Fergie's Glamorous, in my life. Specifically, Supernatural filk of Fergie's Glamourous, sung by the brothers Winchester, with accompaniment by Castiel, Angel of the Lord.
Warning: the following is a rush job and thus doesn't quite scan, AND MAKES VERY LITTLE SENSE. Nonetheless, read on, if you possess the fortitude.
[Castiel]
Are you ready?
You ain't got no faith, take your broke self to hell
...
[Sam]
I got problems up to here, psychic powers that I fear
Temptin' me with destiny that I don't wanna
I got hair that's kinda lank (sob!) and I'd really like to gank
All the fans, (maybe sometimes), thanks Chuck really though
[Dean]
'Cause I remember my old dreams when we were all a team
When we'd hunt as family, you 'n dad 'n me, all three
Yeah, it's been a long road and the universe is cold
I'm glad my daddy told me so, he made sure his sons'd know
...
[Castiel]
Soul-deep weaknesses, hell-inspired fantasies
You deserve nothing but eternal pa-ai-ain
Now this whole world is falling to Lucifer
But I got enough faith to support the three of us
Course I got a keep enough mojo to protect
The foolish duo, from both sides, turn the tide
Find God, who I hear is pretty awesome
You ain't got no faith, take your broke self to hell
Thoughts?

SPN question
Oct. 7th, 2009 05:12 pmHow is it that (in universe) no one has connected Sam and Dean Winchester, genre series characters, with Sam and Dean Winchester, arch criminals? Surely there must be some fangirl speculation as to whether Chuck was inspired by the mass murdering, Bonnie and Clyde Satanists, who died in a chopper explosion?
And an unrelated Harry Potter question - Jesus H Christ, Lady Rowling, how in hell did you let your timelines get so scrambled?

Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what. I will answer them all in a new post.
Also, I wrote a story. I can't believe I wrote nearly 13,000 words of Ron/Hermione rom-com. O.o But schmevil being schmevil, said rom-com also has vampires, werewolves, dates from hell, bad babysitters and assorted tomfoolery. It's been a looong while since I wrote from Ron's pov, and I'd forgotten how fun it is - Ron really is kind of a jerk, even as he's also a decent, ordinary guy. For me at least, it's wicked fun to write about characters who are flawed in everyday ways. You can have them do all the idiot things that you and your friends get up to, even as they Fight For Great Justice.

There is an ethical imperative in intellectual work, which Leonardo called 'obsinate rigour'. It means, in practical terms--and especially when one is dealing with political matters, which are always highly charged with emotion--that one has to resist several temptations. They can be condensed into a single formula: never succumb to the terrorism of words. As Freud wrote, one must avoid making concessions to faintheartedness: 'One can never tell where that road may lead one; one gives way first in words, and then little by little in substance too.'
LACLAU FUCK YEAH!
