Dear Yuletide Writer,

First of all, DO NOT PANIC. I am very easy and the simple fact that you are writing about these characters is most of your work done right there <3 Now I will throw a few thoughts and prompts at you, and hope it'll give you some ideas! If you see another story happening, please absolutely follow your muse :)

BECOME ONE WITH THE SUGAR RUSH.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, bbs.

The Killing Moon, Nouvelle Vague (Echo & the Bunnymen cover)

p.s. candy corn is where it's at.

p.p.s. have i posted something classy above? MY BAD. ( WHO YOU GONNA CALL: Zefron as Lt Dangle. Chace as a Ninja Turtle. )

So I couldn't go see Drive today because I worked late, what is my life. Weeks, they don't have enough hours!

The extra super edited holiday request meme, snagged from artemis_sparks and thmaymuc. Only 4 spots because last time I did a meme, it ended up [like this] and ate livejournal.

Comment with: a day, a fandom, a pairing, and a prompt (lyrics or pics!), and I will write at least 300 words for you, to be posted on the day you claimed. Or make a fanmix of at least 5 songs. Any fandom you know I'm familiar with is fair game, though I reserve the right to ask for a different prompt if you pick something I don't feel comfortable writing, or a fandom I haven't been into in a long time.

Stuff I could write for you: ASOIAF (all canons); The Avengers movie!verse; Batman (TDK); Community; Dark Angel; Gossip Girl; Haven; High School Musical; Kings; Push (the movie); Queer As Folk (UK or US); Revenge; RPF and RPS (if it's an unusual pairing, convince me with pics!); Supernatural; Terminator (all verses); The Royal Tenenbaums; The Secret Circle; The Talented Mr. Ripley; True Blood; The Vampire Diaries; White Collar; Young Americans. Or whatever you think I should write! THE USUAL SUSPECTS ARE WELCOME AND RAREPAIRS ARE LOVE.

!!!AND CLOSED!!! Thank you for your lovely prompts <3

If I Die Young, The Band Perry

Check out [this unbelievable vid 'Your Biggest Fan'] by wistful_fever that'll make you want to marathon Supernatural all over again. This vid sheds all these years and all these seasons and the oversaturation and the tiredness, and it's--- poof, MAGIC made of Dean's many faces, this knot of insecurity that Sam is in the pit of Dean's stomach, the disconnect between your head and the real relationship (it's not particularly wincestuous), and the stunning show photography. The vidder's notes are far more eloquent, read them!

I honestly don't know anymore if the fandom is dead or alive or ablaze with wank or has reached nirvana but the flist and the show, and the memories of goodfic (still re-read! especially apoca!fics or the noir that are my Supernatural fic crack) quietly keep me going :) In so many years, so many plot things didn't go my way or got cut short but you know, Dean and I, we're still on. The great, back-to-basics last episode didn't hurt either.

This is a bit of a drive-by post as I have been actively avoiding LJ. The real life is real intense these days and then I have burned out on certain fandoms and things people keep doing in certain fandoms - but it never seems quite right to let go of it all. So I'm paring down, shedding skin but as I still want to flail and rec, it gives me hope that I can figure it all out :))

Codes and Keys, Death Cab for Cutie (that I saw live recently!!! they have so much energy, very unexpected. also, Ben Gibbard has the best body and hair, srsly - if anyone also watches Zooey's new show New Girl, have you noticed the nod to him?)

I spent half of Captain America thinking, WHY SO HOT, SEBASTIAN STAN? Even Chris Evans's truly mind-blowing bod and the decently paced story couldn't distract me enough from these little Bucky Barnes moments.

Forget about the Hydra conspiracy with a Transformers cube, I wanted to know more about Bucky's childhood and why he was strapped to a scary scientific table! He brought some spice and snark to Captain America's wholesome milkshake, and he always held his own non-super-powered end of the deal. A little bit of Steve/Bucky UST? DO WANT. I understand that the movieverse is a major reboot for both Steve and Bucky but Wiki tells me that much later in the comicverse, Bucky becomes Winter Soldier, gets a cool bionic arm, and gets to make out with Scarlett Johannson (the Black Widow) until Steve reminds him of ~their past. Not shabby at all. Will seek fic.

Also, the 'do you fondue' joke KILLED me, for the obviously Swissly reasons. We were loling so hard, we were getting shushed! And then they brought it back. And again!

Howard Stark was the greatest Papa Stark, and isn't it the same actor who played Dakin in History Boys? LOVE HIM. Tommy Lee's delivery was flawless and idk, I wanted very hard to care about Peggy for more than her kickass moments but I much preferred our future queen's Natalie Dormer's Private Lorraine (Margaery Tyrell will be a goddess). So, thank you, will watch again, Marvel.

Oh noes! Cy Twombly died today, July 5 2011.

The Tumblr tag for the Game of Thrones is hilarious tonight. The unspoilered masses have discovered just how much shit can get real. Lol buckle up. WINTER IS COMING, BITCH.

Anyways,



This is just a milestone post: I finished A Clash of Kings tonight. Onto the best book of them all, A Storm of Swords! And to the mysteries of Renly's Giant Peach. Apart from the usual, things I want to see more of: Sansa and the Tyrells, things I want to see less of: Shae and Theon. I suspect that ( spoiler+lulz )

upd: fic rec: My Master, The Rebel Prince - Loras/Renly; seriously if you aren't reading this, you're missing out. you know I hate WIPs like they are the devil but I am hanging onto every chapter. THIS WRITER GETS IT. It is hilarious and poignant and alive. Your heartstrings will thank me.

You all know what happens when I can't find what I really want to find. EEEP, I MAKE IT.

LORAS_RENLY
A fanworks and news comm for the ASOIAF head couple in charge, Loras Tyrell and Renly Baratheon, and for the beautiful and ridiculous human beings who play them, Finn Jones and Gethin Anthony.

I am so OBSESSSSSSSSED with them as a couple and separately. Loras is flawless and scheming, Renly is sassy and is on the slippery slope of doing things for the greater good. Loras can kick your stereotype's ass like a boss and Renly is the only voice of political reason and relative decency. At the end of the day, they manscape. What's not to love.

JOIN here :)

Welcome, new and shiny friends from the ASOIAF friending meme. You are all so wonderful, I don't know what to do with my flailing hands!

UPD: NO, I KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS. Leave me a prompt (character or pairing|lyrics|porn or no porn) about literally anything ASOIAF and I will write you a drabble. This request post will be forever open!

Hellooooo. Reporting from the literal heart of the tornadopocalypse (these sirens and powercuts have been ~fun) but not about the weather. GAME OF THRONES.

I can no longer contain my feelings, AS FLAILY AND BEAUTIFUL AS SER LORAS' HAIR.

This show is campalicious and showers me with shiny things - bastards, women kings (in the making), old wives tales that come all too true, some heavy-lying crowns, some good slashy knight on knight loving, the color white not standing for purity, double standards all around, creepy children, the must-watch credits. POPCORN AND POMPOMS for archetypes! If I had more funtimes in my life than a measly half an hour a day, I'd be driving this bandwagon, not just on it.

This journal stans for underdogs, bastards, third sons who make their own destiny, victims who rise up and exert agency -- and do right by the honor of their families no matter how shabbily their families do by them. Dany ( eat your heart out ♥ )

- Jon ( who likes his hair better than he likes girls )

- Tyrion ( who must finish that story about the jackass and a honeycomb in a brothel )

- Loras ( it's just blood, sometimes a little spills )

- Renly ( thrones aren't only made for the hated and the feared )

.

The other chars whom I love to watch are Ned, Sansa, JAIME, Littlefinger, and Viserys. I no longer like Lena Headey as Cersei, she is playing her consistently against my headcanon. I ADORE ARYA'S ENTIRE FACE and I can't wait to read fast enough to meet the Grandma Tyrell, the Queen of Thorns, who is supposed to be a real piece of work (this is where Loras gets his game). Apart from my shining star Loras who needs to blow everyone's mind, I could see myself shipping crazy things like Jon/Dany as endgame, Jon as a Seven Kingdoms bicycle, Sansa/Sandor, Rhaegar/Lyanna, Tyrion for President, but I can be convinced for more. My porn goggles are on. Bring it, HBO.

Fic is a controversial issue in the ASOIAF fandom because George R. R. Martin (who is on lj as grrm) is one of these writers with a buzzkill anti-fanfic policy. (My opinion - don't want fanfic about your characters, don't read it. It's a form of flattery, it's not for profit, all out of love.) All of these recs (tbc) are spoilery for the rest of the currently published book series, in a major way that might make you want to stick yourself with a pointy end, so read at your own risk. I'll light up from your therapy bills.

• A Banquet for Queens [Dany, Cersei, Margaery and Loras. gen.]
There is something terrible about the abundance of fruit.

• And Turns To Gold In The Sunlight [Renly/Loras. r.]
There are many worlds for Loras. And in all of them but this one, the sun.

• your eyes were december when you had june in your heart [Robb and Jon. gen.]
excellent voices!

• maybe when the night comes, you’ll open up the cage [Robb/Jon. nc-17.]
"Even if it were possible to accidentally drift off in a room as cold as the library, Theon would be the last person to do so. He doesn't bloody read." hot and hilarious :)

• The Death of Lovers [Jaime/Cersei. r.]
Or perhaps, they would die together with their bones tangled together and they would be buried in one grave (one soul) and after a time, their flesh would melt away leaving only their bright hair, twisted like hands around their bared throats.

• KINK MEME @ robellion

UPD:

• Drowning [Loras/Renly. r.]
there is this gorgeous drowning metaphor and the writer takes it to interesting places. a beautiful fic.

• Allegiance [Loras/Renly. r.]
They'd call it allegiance, a knight to his liege lord; Renly would give it another name, and Loras too. Loras may kneel, but it would hardly be for the banner. - omg, THIS RENLY.

Except that ( SPOLER )

rode off together into the sunset but I would have rather had Nate elope with Georgina.

HIATUS. why.

My responses to [this] meme.

I should have been done with this post long ago but I was slammed by work and lured outside by the spring. Also, thanks to you guys, I kept getting lost on Tumblr and rewatching these shows/movies to infinity. I was stuck in the neverending loop of awesome!

The ambitious post is ambitious. I will never type again.
