tkp: So, I get why I watch Bones. I get why Mom watches Bones. Dad, why do you watch Bones?
tkDad: For the pretty--David Boreanaz!
tkMom: Omg! Slash! Squick, squick! Run away!
(tkMeta: Why we slash.
tkFandom: Slash, homosexuality, homophobia, pretty, and trauma.
tkFanom_wank: tkp and tkMom are arguing about sexuality! *takes pictures*)
tkMom: Alright, ok, Angelina Jolie is hot.
tkp: Angelina is peace. No wonder she's a politician.
tkDad: (stuck on Dave) Yeah, and besides being all hot, he seems cool. Like, I don't know what it is about him, but I think he's a cool guy.
(time passes)
tkMom: If they want us to think she's so clueless about pop culture how come she dresses so damn trendy?
(tkFic: *Brennan bashing*
*Goodman!voice smut*
*Brennan/Angela* because ZOMG, it should be written)
*coughs*

violaclaire had an interesting question about conscience in Jossverse, which I felt I couldn't answer adequately because I know nothing about sociology. I actually know very little about anything, despite the fact that I got a BA and thought I was smart.

Did y'all know that "TKP" are the initials of the Turkist Communist Party? (Türkiye Komünist Partisi (TKP)). Yes, friends, I am on wiki, like any famous fan.
A. Have you read an Arbiter of Quality review?angelbuffy0 was linking them for a while.
AoQ has not seen and is not spoiled for BtVS, and he's been making his way through each ep one at a time and is reviewing as he goes. He does NOT come at it from the POV of a fan who is already in love with the show, but someone who seems skeptical that the show is any good. As a result, his reviews are often critical. Sometimes he's right--yeah, Bad Eggs IS a lame ep. Sometimes it's vaguely upsetting--I hate his Cordy and X/C bashing. Sometimes you get a chance to feel superior--what, you think Amy-the-rat is a dropped thread? Just wait! Sometimes it's reaffirming--damn skippy "Innocence" is a badass ep! Most of the time, it's just plain fun to watch someone learn what BtVS is all about, how it works on you, how the characters grow and change. I don't agree with about half of his reviews, but I feel myself falling in love with BtVS again every time I read his opinion, whether it's positive or not. Also, he's pretty clever and funny (though ugh! He does take the Cordy bashing too far for his jokes about her to be pleasant.)
B. Meanwhile, in case you missed it, a bit agorahirah informed fandom that these titles are off limits. Heed her or SPIKE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN. IN MANNER OF KEN DOLLS AND OZ. watch out the little people can be scary. Mwwahahahahahah!

Every rejection just means your closer to acceptance. Is that the cheesiest thing I could think of to say? Hell no, but I meant well. *pets you*
no subject
And possibly the cheesiest thing you could've thought've to say would've been bad for my health, so thanks. I'm just having the doldrums about it.
no subject
An evening with a tkp update is a good evening. Alas, I have no conversation.

Yes, that would actually make me want to venture into Bones fic.

Oh dear, I'm really lame right now, and hungry, which was my excuse for inananity in Kita's journal also and it's still true so I'm off to go remedy that.
no subject
Sometimes inanity is what I feel like Kita's journal is there for. It's like a late night party where the host is fabulous, the food is tastey, and the guests are funny. Uh, except the food is virtual which I sometimes forget too so I'm all woozy when I stumble out over her threshold! Uh, "her threshold" sounds dirty right now.
no subject
Hm. Interesting porn. I already went through the alphabet. :X
As far as AOQ goes - no one recaps btvs/ats quite like the never-updated-anymore boils and blinding torment.
no subject
Boils and Blinding Torment was one of the first sites I found when I got into the fandom. It was excellent, because I had not seen all the shows yet, and didn't know who all the characters were, and their explanations were so. damn. funny!

But I can recite a lot of Green Eggs and Ham.
I love your parents!

I will not eat them Sam I Am! And I love your icon!
I love them too!

I agree with that, but I it's not something I consider to be a problem with the character, rather I see it as the writers handling that character poorly by attempting to turn "I don't know what that means" into a catchphrase (something they appear to have mostly given up on in recent eps, thank God). I like Brennan. Mostly because I just like her, partly because of the whole disconnected-from-society solidarity thing, but also because I've always loved the whole Anthropology/Archeology/All-Things-Morbid-and-Creepifying, so have the whole envy-turned-admiration going on (I want to be her, dammit! Well, actually I want to be Goodman, but let's not get picky).
I've always been more of a Lorax fan, myself.
no subject
Yeah, it's possible to dislike what the writers do with a character while still giving the character itself the benefit of the doubt, I guess. I se what you mean.
no subject
P. Okay, so your family rocks. Well, except for the watching Bones part. But everything else... When I watch stuff with my dad, he tries to convince me that there's no gaysex subtext in Rebel W/O a Cause. Like, what? He's all, "Plato sees Jim as a father figure." Ever heard of George Michael, dad?
N. (I post all my rejections on my lj. It makes it funny.)
J. I wish I had a pornify button. The T rocks. These people must be really uncomfortable.
B. That was funny. I've claimed "A Good Going Over with a Weed Whacker."
Oops, I missed the U and A. Which means... TKP, we doing this porntastic punjabby fic or what?
no subject
N. Not funny but yeah a little cathartic. I dunno, kinda felt like my whole future/what I'm doing next in my life is hanging on grad school, so it's a little difficult to take.
J. Wouldn't it be cool if you had like a pornify button in your pocket, and you were watching something boring or upsetting or something, and you just covertly pressed the secret button and suddenly everyone was having sex? And not really sex but fictional sex where you never need condoms and no one gets STDs and never gets preggers unless they want a kid and are in looooove? Okay, maybe not. And yeah, those "T" people have been aching for well nigh over a century.
B. Bahahaha I saw that! I've claimed "Reupholstry" ;o)
lol AU! Yeah we so need to! I need to email you, huh? we have to figure out how to do this.
no subject
J. Except I don't like watching porn. It's boring. I like the idea, and I like reading it (well duh) but the moving pictures do nothing for me.
Yeah.. um... Should we back-n-forth (omg I can't believe I said that, did you see Me and You and Everyone We Know?) it through email or aim or what?
no subject
J. I've never really watched porn. Really! But I have seen a little bit, really soft core, and it did nothing for me.
Never seen that. I'm not sure how to do it. We should set a date on aim so we can just hash out what exactly we want to do and how we want to do it. Some time next week would be good as this weekend I'm kinda busy.
no subject
I was going to go to grad school. But the more I looked into it, the more I disliked the academic language, specialized vocabulary and all that of lit academes, and I didn't see the point in an MFA, so I didn't. But it would be nice not to have a job.
I tried some old-school porn a few months ago, just to see if something with kind of a plot would help. But Mr. A got really really embarrassed so we turned it off.

ZACH: "Apparently, all she needed was to hear her job description in a deep, African-American tone."
::nodnodnod:
Hee! The "W" has a foursome. And the "G" has just girls. I love my LJ name even more now.
Note: I also love spellcheckers. The possible replacements for "nodnodnod" are, as follows: Nintendo, redundant, nightstand, and attendant. Hee! I am easily amused today.
no subject
Was that in this ep? I missed it. His voice is soooo fuckin' sexy.
redundant for nodnodnod! hahahahahaha!!!!!!
no subject
I don't know, I was kind of fond of "nightstand", but redundant is oddly appropriate, innit?

Both my brothers think all of us are lame for watching it. But my parents are tres cool.

There's lotsa squick in this journal I'm afraid.

*Goodman!voice smut*
*Brennan/Angela* because ZOMG, it should be written
Agreed, it MUST be written!
yeah, Bad Eggs IS a lame ep. Sometimes it's vaguely upsetting--I hate his Cordy and X/C bashing. I don't like when people character bash like that either (especially Cordy & X/C who I adore!). Re the Bad Eggs thing: over the years I've developed a real love for the episode despite of, or maybe because of, it's lameness. It's this totally ridiculous episode right before the brilliance of "Surpise" and "Innocence". I have such a weird affection for it that I'm thinking of writing an "In defense of Bag Eggs" post for fun.
no subject
Ha! I would read an "In defense of Bad Eggs" post. In both BtVS/AtS I differentiate between real plot eps and "filler" eps. What surprised me from the beginning about both shows was how much I enjoyed the filler eps, even though they had stupid monsters of the week and oft times lame premises. There so often seemed to be little twists and just the sheer funness of the dialogue make them cool. But "Bad Eggs" is one that just always annoyed me.
And I love both Cordy and X/C too!
