Aletheia

1. Only sesame seed bagels left, and no cream cheese. My life, ladies and gentlemen.

2. Ate a bowl of Oreos for breakfast.

3. There’s a coffee ring stain on my X-men. I know I accidentally burned down Dad’s office, but a man’s comics are sacred.

4. Ryan kissed me to shut me up. Twice. (!!!)

5. Did a Samuel L. Jackson impression under my breath. Was sharing my bucket of popcorn, extra butter, with Ryan, when our shoulders bumped together. It was nice; not Summer-in-a-Wonder-Woman-outfit nice, but getting there.

6. Make out Share kisses with Ryan at the poolhouse.

Remix of theswearingkind's Sam Jackson Ain't Got Nothing on These Two (f-locked) for remixthedrabble. I haven't actually watched the episode on which #3 is based. One day I'll probably finish watching the O.C. Maybe. If only for more of Seth Cohen's wordvomit.

Remixes people wrote for me this round:
- A reason Aziraphale is awesomecakes remixed into Spontaneous Acts of Charity (The Sorry We Missed You Remix) [Crowley, 150 words, rated G], by lilfluffykitten

- Envy remixed into Envy (The Curiosity Hurts Remix) [Morgana, 100 words, rated PG], by rapunzelita

I'm all caught up with Merlin 2X06 now. Arthur's neatly brushed (combed?) bangs under his crown in 2X06 makes me want nerd!Arthur fics.

1. Sorority Boys -- with Merlin, Arthur and Will. Arthur/Ann clearly must be Adam/Adina, with his complex about his/her fat ass arse >=D
Will is the stoner eternal senior who takes crossdressing in stride.
Morgana is the nearsighted sorority president, because Katie McGrath wearing glasses IS CANON. Gwen is going to beat Merlin up (or get Lancelot to beat Merlin up) when she realized Merlin had been taking showers with Morgana =O

Sir Leon can be the sleazy scumbag loser who roofied Arthur/Ann.
Cedric is the guy who stole the fraternity's money and blame Merlin.

Uther hitting on Merlin on the yatch = BONUS because he's always thought Arthur's friend isn't quite right in the head.

2. Hors de prix/Priceless -- with Merlin as the golddigger Irene and Arthur as the hotel barman Jean. Merlin mistook Arthur as a millionaire and put the moves on him. Arthur went along with the charade, fell for Merlin, etc.

A year later, the two met again at the same hotel. It's Merlin's birthday and he's had a cozy arrangement with Uther for three years now. Uther caught Merlin cheating with Arthur, Merlin threw his lot in with Arthur only to realize that he's the help AHAHAHAHAHA.

Merlin moved on to Lancelot (du Lac sr. just croaked, leaving his massive wealth to Lancelot). Arthur wouldn't give up on Merlin and ended up being Lady Helen's boy toy so he can continue going on dates with Merlin.

I stopped watching the movie at this point so IDK what happened next, haha.

3. I'm kinda tempted to claim Bluebeard over at tobreakthespell. For some reason I can't think of any happy fairy tales that match the Merlin fandom =S (that hasn't already been claimed, that is.)

Arthur Blackguard--too evocative of WoW and RPGs, Y/N?

In other news, my laptop's monitor & graphic card died last Thursday.

[ LJ | IJ | DW ]

1. Was surprisingly okay with Merlin 2X02, but D:< about 2X03: ( SPOILERS, just in case anyone's even more of a slowpoke than me )

2. Only wrote my primary assignment for remixthedrabble and none of my secondary ones because I suck that way =(
I knew which part & what pov I want to remix, but I just can't bring myself to put down even one line D:

3 a. Rewatched extended LotR yesterday. I used to be all about Aragorn and Legolas, but yesterday it was Froooodooo and Karl Urbaaaan Eomeeeer. Was briefly tempted to look for Aragorn/Frodo, but quashed the worrying tendency immediately.

3 b. Kept on going, "Ooh, sophinisba's icon of cute round-eyed hobbit kid!" and "sophinisba's icon of Merry opening his arms wide," etc.

P.S. Still not reading the F-list, sorry ^^;;

P.P.S. Any Choirboy AU LotR fanfics out there?

1. I dreamt I was Hikaru Sulu (the John Cho version, except even more kickass), and I was fighting T-1000 with my BARE FISTS. T-1000 first took on Chekov's appearance, then Hikaru's appearance.
Wrong crossover, brain. I'm still waiting for a Merlin-related dream!

2. It was interesting to watch Star Trek with Japanese voice acting.

Spock's voice = the straight-laced, class president type who's quiet, serious, and perfect in every way. With hidden depths (or secret, endearing vice)! Sometimes with bonus hot geek glasses.
Like Death Note's Light/Raito pre-psychosis, basically. Or like Kare Kano's Soichiro Arima, minus the weakling appearance.

Kirk's voice = the happy-go-lucky youngster who just. Never. Gives. Up. And is inexplicably loved by everyone, friend and foe alike. Have the devil's own luck.
In other words, the main character of every single shounen anime out there. But nowhere as whiny as Naruto, dear lord.

Bones' voice = the laid back old guy who drinks sake and is vaguely lecherous/flirtatious to everyone, esp. their subordinates. Usually the mentor/teacher figure to the main character. And always turns out to have a dark, tragic past.
Like that pink flower kimono + straw hat-wearing captain in Bleach.

Uhura's voice = the straight-laced heroine who has Clear Views regarding Justice. Hates bullies and will fight them to protect the weak. Usually admires/has a crush on the class president, or is a class president herself.
Like lots of Hayao Miyazaki's heroines.

I was so disappointed by Sulu's voice, because he just has a generic voice. The you'll-only-see-me-in-two-episodes-max voice T_T

ETA 09/22/09: Bonus Kirk/Spock shounen rivalry summary and McSpock salaryman Boys' Love summary

3. remixthedrabble--need to update my fic masterlist first before browsing/reading my remixees' fic masterlists ^^;;
Hopefully will be done updating tonight or tomorrow.

Yesterday morning I dreamt I was Sylar, who was transported into an alternate universe where AU!Sylar is all respected & loved & made entirely out of fluffy bunnies, kittens & squishy pink hearts.

Sylar decided to go along with the adulation of the AU!masses. There's this v. sick little boy who's all adorable and wears glasses and may or may not bear some resemblance to Shadow of the Templar's Nate & Final Fantasy: Advent Children's Michael.

I knew Sylar had a vague evil(?) masterplan, but for some reason he decided to donate his bone marrow (?!111) to this adorable little boy. I Sylar was in pain when the nurse/doctor/illegal underground activist took his bone marrow, but he stayed stoic and all the children were like "Sylar. We love you *_* You're our hero."

AU!Mohinder's an Evil Manipulative Person who may or may not be using AU!Sylar's latent homosexuality confused feelings toward his own end. AU!Sylar obv. does not have all the awesome superpowers that canon!Sylar has.

I woke up before I found out what Sylar!me's dastardly plan was.

If only I had dreamt about Spock. (When I watch Heroes, I usually only watch the Hiro and Andoh scenes!)

Ron would never admit this to anyone, not Harry and certainly not Hermione, but when he was ten he wrote a letter asking for admission to Durmstrang.

He never did send the letter. When the twins scared him with Giant Squid stories, he would picture that letter, tucked away in a chest under his bed with his old teddy.

Once sorted into Gryffindor, he forgot all about the letter until the Durmstrang delegation arrived for the Triwizard tournament.

He wouldn't trade his friendship with Harry for anything, but just imagine: he could've gone to the same school as Viktor Krum!

BTW, I think I'll actually enjoy the Ron/Lavender moments in HBP. Remember when your girlfriend would whine about wanting a boyfriend, because they want to feel cherished, etc. etc.? Yeah, getting those vibes from Lavender here.

- Hermione angsting over clueless Ron
- The Liar, the Underage Wizard and the Cabinet =D
- Luna looks even more otherworldly, if that's possible Love the peeling "Slide to open" sticker.

1 b. I would claim it except I'm nowhere done with "Runaway Heir," my Draco-centric It Happened One Night pastiche ^^;;

/ends whining brain dump

Of all the barely legal men out there, why did he fixate on the headmaster’s son?

Arthur was a good student who didn’t give the staff any trouble. Except for his Literature teacher.

On Tuesdays, Merlin always wore long jackets, because Arthur would be right there with his pouty lips and pen-biting.

Today, Arthur had stayed behind and ambushed Merlin with a kiss. Of course, the headmaster just happened to wander by.

Lifting guilty hands from Arthur’s shoulders—to push him away, not clutch him closer—Merlin contemplated throwing himself out the midget-sized window.

“What is the meaning of this?”

1. "Blue-eyed Stranger" (Merlin/Arthur reincarnation, PG, 100 words)

Not another reincarnation AU, you say?
Oh, there'll be many more =P

As I mused to sophinisba earlier: I think my AU love stems from my fascination with the idea of time travel, parallel worlds and reincarnation ever since I was a wee child watching Quantum Leap. Or possibly earlier than that.

Fandom meme: Comment and I'll LJ stalk you to find (up to) THREE FANDOMS you apparently love. And then you answer these questions about them!

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

Here are my answers for the fandoms sophinisba gave me:

[ Harry Potter ] ( Read more... )

[ Good Omens ] ( Read more... )

[ Merlin ] ( Read more... )

[ LJ | IJ | DW ]

1.

Fandom is drama. Fandom is melodrama. Fandom is high school. [...] Fandom is smarter than you. Fandom is stupider than you. Fandom is five arguments over and over and over again. Fandom is the first time you've ever had them. [...]

Fandom is love for characters you didn't create. Fandom is recreating the characters you didn't create. [...]

Fandom is signal and response. Fandom is a stranger moving you to tears, anger, laughter. Fandom is you moving a stranger to speak. [...]

Fandom gets no work done. Fandom is too much work. Fandom was/is just a phase. Fandom could never be just a phase. Fandom is where you found a friend, a sister, a kindred spirit. Fandom is where you found a talent, a love, a reason.

Fandom is where you found yourself.

3.

Mr. Spock [...] holds the valid belief that he shares a bloodline with Mr. Holmes. The relationship at first seemed easy to explain; While Mr. Spock exhibits the physical characteristics and upbringing of his native planet Vulcan, he is in fact half human. His mother, Amanda (neé Grayson) was American, but the name Grayson is of English extraction.

[...]

[T]he Graysons can only trace their family back as far as Professor Jeremy Grayson of Boston in the year 2045. Spock cannot know, then, that his mother's family tree includes a Holmesian branch. At this point, we have eliminated one possibility: the only other one, that Spock gets his Sherlockian ancestry from his father's side, must by Spock's and Holmes' own rule be true. But this is an audacious possibility, because we know from Spock's World that the marriage between Spock’s father Sarek and Amanda Grayson was the first interracial marriage between human and Vulcan, and that genetic engineering was needed to produce Spock. If Holmes was Spock's ancestor, then, it follows that Holmes was a Vulcan.

--Scott, David M. "Sherlock Holmes: Visitor to a Small Planet"

Not only does Spock descend from Sherlock Holmes, he's related to Dick Grayson, twelve years old >=D Oh wait, actually it's not a good thing to share Nightwing's genes.
Genetic engineering --> Spock ~ Conner Clark Luthor? X-D

I see that Chris Pine was in Princess Diaries 2, and my first reaction is:
"I want an AU where Spock is a Vulcan Princess =DDD"

Haha.

Coldplay's Viva La Vida Lyrics ( Read more... )

I have to admit that I only watched Star Trek because of:
1) Sylar with eyebrows! and,
2) I want to read ifyouweremine's pr0n

Like a gazillion other people have said, it was GLORIOUS.

I like every single character in that movie, and that _never_ happened to me before.
Yes, including the evil Romulan guy, who I found vaguely hot (which is understandable because he was played by Eric Bana, who played Hector in Troy).
I even like Spock's mother (didn't recognize Winona Ryder until her third appearance X-D)

ruien shared ST canon tidbits with me, but I was all, "Uh-huh. Sylar with eyebrows! Spock Spock Spock!"
I should like BlondPratJerk!Kirk better, but I don't. It's the power ot the eyebrows!111

I want to cuddle ickle!Spock with his pretty eyes <333 Spock! Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock! Spock!
Ickle!Kirk was awesome too! And Kirk was as pretty as everyone said <333
Mind meld! Spock! Spock!
Kirk Senior was hot too! Alternate Reality! Spock!

I even love the canon het pairing =D =D =D

Hikaru Sulu! Gold power ranger! Fold-out sword! Fencing!
17 y.o. Chekhov OMGSoPrecious ^___^ "I can do it I can do it I can do it"

Eomer Karl Urban's stupid haircut makes me want to cry, but otherwise YAY Doctor whose name I keep on getting wrong Bones*! Spock!
* So, his full name is Bones McCoy? For SRS?

I'm going to watch it at IMAX this Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday =D =D =D
PSA: It's only playing in IMAX until this Thursday.

Best Malfoy Legs Since the 1800s (Scorpius, implied AS/S, PG-13 for crossdressing)
Warning: skinny boy in a skirt
A/N: Won the Golden Squid for Truth In Advertising at hp_april_fools *g*
If someone has advice on how to turn sketches into linearts, I'm all ears.

( Draco muses that it's karma for making Crabbe and Goyle polyjuice as little girls. Lucius thinks his legs look better when he was younger. Narcissa just wants a cup of tea. )

---

1. This is the picture that, two months back, I was sketching and thinking, "You know who's skinny? Merlin!"
I want a modern-day!AU where Merlin's an underwear/swimsuit model and Arthur's a photographer, and it's for a borderline soft pr0n magazine. And Arthur's giving Merlin half-breathy directions, and Merlin's getting turned on and his eyes gleamed gold.
Whoops, didn't mean to go the anthropomorphic dragon route there.

2. Why is it that I'm so much more shameless when it comes to Merlin/Arthur pr0n? It's not that the fandom's kinkier than HP. Is there even a kinkier fandom than HP?
Not to mention completely shameless about Bradley/Colin too. Huh.

3. I think I've pinpointed why I'm uninterested with Merlin RP games. Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, Gwen...they're all main characters. In HP, I can RP as obscure characters (Padma, Terry, Al, Scorpius), only-exist-in-notes characters (Su Li), my own OFC (Jade Malfoy)...even Draco's not a main character in canon except for HBP.

With Merlin, I can't help but be more judgmental and going "OoC! OoC!" when an RP-er's interpretation of the character significantly differs from mine.

* Speaking of RP-ing, May 15th is Blog Like It Isn't You Day.
...I can blog as a random magic user sentenced to death in Camelot? =P

✔ Made a poll on Merlin characters' age (and Tristan fanon).
✘ Link to the poll at merlinxarthur, maybe. With a mini-meta on the basis of my fanon ages.

✘ Write a companion drabble to "Discovery." Maybe.
* How will Arthur deal with Bran? Smth from the perspective of the knights, maybe? Or the moment of discovery, what the heck was Merlin doing?

✘ Write "The Tome of Magical Delights"

PSA: If you're on my F-list and you saw a post that appeared then disappeared about 1-2 hrs ago, don't worry! I only do that about once a year.

No, you're not losing your mind =D I just want to spare you from my burst of rl annoyance.

Love,

lilian_cho.

Happiness meme - Day 8/8

* Why are there no Merlin/Narnia icons out there?

+ Finished writing for armer_gayms' Bro Code challenge and I like it \o/

* Speaking of which, would anyone be willing to beta? (Someone not in armer_gayms, of couse)
It's < 1K words, Merlin/Arthur PG-13.

+ Ep. 13 reaction: Hell, even I would have slapped some Emergency Het in after what amounted to a spiritual blowjob.
* It actually makes me want to watch it! Well, will watch it before Season Two airs, at any rate.

+ Warm kotatsu <333

2. [identity crisis] On Race, or Privilege, Or Just Being Human

Rights, I guess, equals entitlement, equals a demand for privilege. It's hard for me to think of a right to be free when I've grown up in a family and a society where my family members - and country members - have sacrificed everything they are (in "Western terms") for their family. Their time, all their income, every inch of their soul and being, in family. Their children are their assets, their stability is their bedrock. Whatever right one has to be something less than practical, to leave the family home, that right gets overwhelmed by other desires. Same as freedom. The desire to see parents happy, or the wish for a smooth life, even in exchange for doing what one loves.

3. Why Dreamwidth?

The question then is: why don't people click on ads on social media sites?

[W]hen you're browsing your Livejournal flist or Facebook feed, what you're not looking for is to purchase something. Not usually, anyway. Spending money is probably the farthest thing from your mind. You're looking to find out what your friends have been up to, browse your sister's vacation snaps, or read some fanfic. Buying something is probably the farthest thing from your mind.
