River/Connor smackdown!
Ok, not really, but wouldn't it be cool?
Probably you guys know this already because you're this freakish hive mind with super sonic powers, but I'm excited about it anyway. Even if you have already done your stinger waggling bee dances of buzz over it, or whatever. You bunch of weirdos.
A pilot for a show called The Sarah Connor Chronicles, or something else lame and long like that, has been filmed. It's about Sarah and John Connor, set after Terminator 2. Which I think might be among my top ten movies of all time. (Or at least the top ten movies containing Arnie; and a skinny emo-y boy with a squeaky voice who I always thought was actually quite good for the role but now actually also think is kinda pretty [to-my-everlasting-shame] and would love to see having boysex with Connor Connor [*cough* ros_fod who-won't-write-it]; and also containing Catherine with machine-guns-and-stuff instead of those frilly 80s dresses she used to wear for Ron Perlman.)
Anyway, so Sarah and John Connor on the run from terminators, one of whom is played by none other than that badly accented ballerina from Waiting In The Wings, otherwise known as River Tam, otherwise known as really really hot when she does her ballet-moves-of-murderous-intent. OR tries to kill you with her brain. Am I the only one doing the stinger waggling dance of GLEE over this? Anyone? Bee-friends? Summer Glau going "I'll be back" on your ass? The way she moves fulfills a need in me, the need for beauty I have in my life. Her ankles and the bend at her waist fulfill it. Also the flesh of cumcumbers, that's a fragment of beauty I could not live without. But what I'm saying is I want to see River Tam kill lots and lots of things. With her ankles. And the dimples at her shoulder-tips. The top part where the clavicle touches the scapula. That part.
I've seen the John Connor (Thomas Dekker) in several things but I really mourn the lack of Edward Furlong, even though he's strange and kind of fugly now and also got arrested for freeing lobsters (true story). I also mourn the lack of VK even though he never had anything to do with it in the first place. I also mourn the lack of Harry/Draco squee from the stinger waggling dances of my flist because I can't *help* it; I mourn my lack of sense-making regarding them.
The woman playing Sarah Connor is Lena Headey, who was the queen in 300. And Olga from Onegin, not that anyone watches Liv Tyler's lips and Ralph-Fiennes-in-a-corset over and over again except me. She was a great character in 300, but I don't see Sarah Connor in her. If I had to pick one actress on the market today to play that character it would be Katee Sackhoff. It's the blonde hair and the Starbuckyness of her, and also the fact that she is the hotest hot to ever hot since man invented the Equator. Which actually man didn't but work with me here.
As far as Mommy!Connor goes I mourn the loss of Catherine with machine-guns-n-stuff and also T-1!Sarah's rhinestones, and that other fic Fod will never write which is John Connor/Reese, which we all know has nothing to do with Sarah Connor other than that whole incest issue for which I also mourn the lack, because I am dirty sick and wrong, although I mourn no lack of that among the stinger wagglers because you have it in spades or combs or wharever in fact you keep it. In fact you all frighten me. Freaks. I love you so, so much. Thank you for feeling with me over my sad tale of robbery and loss. And with the chimp sex and horror horse stories? That is why I keep you around. In case you were wondering.
From what I can tell this show got picked up, but it's by Fox so I hope Englishmen come on horses and hunt it down if it is any kind of good and gets dropped. I wish, oh I wish, I had a laptop. I've decided that's why I am rambling here today. Now buzz away young friends and write me Buffy/Faith STAT.

The fact that EF actually did that turns me off the idea of lobsters in RPS entirely.

I mean, the lobster story is funny. And I would *want* to read a fic like that if it hadn't happened; I'd want to read a fic where EF and VK were a little fucked up or high on something and doing something zany like that together. But the fact that it actually happened makes me attach a reality to it that kinda ruins the fun for me. Like, worry about children and drugs and stuff like that that it's usually pretty easy for me to separate from fic and fantasy.
Anyway, I don't mind RL details in RPS usually, unless it's a suggestion of something bad that really happened or might have happened. And if it is, it only bothers me if I think it's not being handled carefully. Like the lobsters just remind me of his drug problems so just a fun smutty romp with VK would be kinda ruined for me. But if it was treated seriously, like with VK realizing EF is truly fucked up somewhere therein, that this is not just a funny adventure but actually symptomatic of something deeper that's wrong, I'd be fine with it. I mean, it was just lobsters, by I connect it with EF's alleged problems at the time, so that's how I feel about it.
But DB is married. Mention that in RPS, it's ok with me. Make him have sex with JM without going into the consequences and ugly reality of adultery, make it a smutty romp, and it's still fine with me. Because I just don't think DB/JM ever happened or might've happened. But take the exact same story with DB/SMG and I start to have a problem because I think it actually might have happened. But take that smutty romp and add weight to it, deal with the serious issues there, and I will be fine with it all over again.
Um, hopefully that explanation makes sense. Sorry so long!

If it were a person I cared less about, I don't know, perhaps it wouldn't be as much of a block. But as it stands, I think it was a tough time for him, and since I...feel for him, that I want things in his life to go well, it's upsetting to find stories that dealt with it in a too-cavalier or kind of rubbernecking way.
Additionally, there were some remarks and posts around the time it was revealed that NB was in rehab that seemed almost...excited about the prospect, that it lent this complication and charge to any rps featuring him that also made mention of these struggles and excesses. And that made me feel sort of sick inside, that anyone would look at it as an opportunity, rather than an occasion to feel troubled and probably sad.
I don't really have much knowledge about or attachment too EF, so I didn't mean to be coarse in reacting that way. I totally understand your reasoning, is all I'm trying to get across.

Also. I don't think it's morally wrong, imo, for someone to write RPS that deals with someone's real problems but that doesn't deal with the actual issues carefully or seriously. Basically I believe people should be able to do what they want with fiction. But personally, it's not my cuppa, because in that situation I find dissassociating reality and said fiction much more difficult.
I do tend to think, though, that that kind of thing blurs the line for others, too; I mean, if people were excited about NB's problems, that's proof of that diminishing discernment. As if they don't see the difference between fic!Nb and rl!NB. Which *is* wrong, imo, because it leads to ...stuff like people giving that SV guy sex toys, or whatever. The whole reason I'm alright with RPS (in fact, love RPS) is it's about fantasy. If you take it into RL there's something wrong with you.
