The great Connor // Jackson Browne debate.



So, once upon a time, TKMommy and I were watching "Spin the Bottle", and TKMommy goes: "That boy looks like Jackson Browne."

And "Late For The Sky" went wha? And Connor went huh?


'Cause of course, when I think Jackson Browne, I think:

this . . . But TKMommy, naturally, thinks this . . . Which possibly, maybe, *could* bear resemblance to this.


It's the hair!

But what about the rest? Look:
Connor sings . . . Hey, whaddya know! Jackson Browne sings. You see drawings of Connor on the covers of publications . . . And drawings of young Jackson Browne on publications!


Connor's gonna shoot you! And young!Browne would totally grapple hook your ass. Connor packs heat. Uh . . . Mr. Fountain Of Sorrow looks considerably more happy about packing heat.


They sit . . . Or stand, I guess . . . With skinny long lanky bodies that look like rags . . . tied together with knots. And they wear emo clothes.


Or else they wear . . . The exact same shirt!

That one may have been cheating a bit, because that was VK, not in Connor costume, but WHATEVER.

VK still makes me think of . . .
Young!Browne. But it still might just be the hair.
This is just here because it's hot.


I'm firmly of the belief that looking at too many pictures of VK will keel you ded.

Next week:

Connor lips vs. . . . Snow White's lips. While we figure out just how much Illyria . . . Looks like this bug.


Yes. I did just spend way longer on that than I should've. But I wanna KNOW.

OK, so, discuss. VK and/or Connor vs. young Jackson Browne.

Vs. Angel and Warren Zevon as accompaniments. Gogogogogo!

ZOMG! Oh. my. god. Because I thought that too, and I kept saying that when the Olympics were on, and I thought everyone must've thought I was crazy because no one said anything. I don't think we knew each other then. Just another reason I'm glad to know you! hahaha!

And then I wanted ice skating fic. There should be more ice skating fic.

You do know [livejournal.com profile] mosca don't you? She of the ice skating fics?

And ZOMG Jackson Browne is TOTALLY the father of VK. I see it! I see it! *crosses eyes*

[livejournal.com profile] mosca writes the *best* Weir!slash in the biz!

Oh, I don't know her. But what I meant was, more Buffyverse fics, with ice.

Yes I know I'm on crack.

Ah, yes, Buffy on Ice. I get you. [livejournal.com profile] mosca does Johnny Weir and so forth.

No, we didn't know each other then. That crazy thought instigated a quick flurry of "OMG! Connor on Ice!" posts/comments, but they sadly fizzled. Mostly my fault, because someone I deeply respect in the fic community said, "Whee! We really need to start a 'Connor on Ice' RPG!" And then I said, "Dude, I don't have the time." I am a sad person.

But yes, as Alizarin points out below, Mosca writes the *best* Weir!Slash. She knows the sport and she's waywayway talented.

Kita has been trying to get me to write VK/Weir RPS, and I have one plotted out, but RPS and I have issues. Such as, "OMG! What if they *read* this?" *major guilt*

But you? Majorly rock.

This is just so crazy though. Because in Jan I was totally, like, WHERE IS THE VK/WEIR RPS? And there were crickets. Not that now I know there is any, but at least we were all wondering the same thing. You rock yourself, lady!

Weir is so . . . full of himself though. That's why, I guess, it'd be fun to write. Does Mosca write VK/Weird slash? You know if Weir read it he'd totally think it made him cooler. And VK already knows fans're crazy.

It's funny, because I wasn't thinking about any of that at all, but a while back I started writing this, Angel and Connor go ice-skating fic. But in it, Connor didn't know how to skate. And Angel was going to teach him. Yeah, I don't know where I'm going with that.

No, as far as I know, I'm the only one that writes VK/Weir slash. THAT I HAVE SHOWN NO ONE, OMG! Although, I think [livejournal.com profile] entrenous88 said she might write it. Maybe I should pester her and see if she has? *g*

You wrote ice-skating fic?!? I must see it! I heart ice-skating fic!

Because Angel with the itty-bitty hockey sticks for baby!Connor...*cries*

We could gang up on her.

It's more of a Angel-and-Connor-make-an-ice-skating-date fic. I've always wanted to do more, with the actual skating stuff, so it's been sitting forever waiting for me to finish it. But yeah, there's hockey talk.

. . . and reminiscing about Buffy, and also really baddirtywrong vibes. BECAUSE I'M APPARENTLY ALL ABOUT THAT. I wish I knew what to do with this fic. I still can't figure it out.

Yes, because Buffy/Angel/Connor would be so *wrong*. But, um, Eeeeeee! Oh my god, my eyes just glazed over.

I know! I have a big nasty dirty kink for that threesome. And no one, to my knowledge, has ever written it. Woe.

hahaha I meant, VK/Weir. Also, I meant to go ZOMG WRITE IT! *nudge nudge*

[identity profile] romanyg.livejournal.com 2006-10-24 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I've gotten as far as having them kiss in a seedy diner in NYC...and the omg!guilt won't let me go beyond the stoop of VK's sublet. Who knows what they're doing in there! Who knows?

Oh dear god. You have to do more. You HAVE to. I want to seeeeeeeeeeee. eee! Gah. Um, inarticulate here. But anyway here's a complete pantyfan who would be ecstatic to see that fic, if you ever do do more an POST.

OMG, do not PRESSURE me! *g* One of these days, when I can get over my GUILT!
