It's Lion Turtles all the way down ([personal profile] lettered) wrote2007-04-07 04:16 pm

Random Fandom, back again

-Is it so wrong of me to want a story with Connor and Angel, where the young, hip barista thinks it so sweet that someone as young, hot and rich as the football-shouldered pale guy in leather still takes his 70-year-old blue-eyed grandfather (he looks like Peter O'Toole. Is that wrong?) out for coffee every Tuesday?

-There's nothing weird about wanting Faith to have a passel of brats and for all of them to call their mommy's best friend, "Aunt Buffy". And for mommy and Aunt Buffy every once in a while to kiss in the laundry room, Faith sitting on the dryer with her legs around Buffy, asking, "The sheets clean, yet?" Buffy pulling away and finding the fabric softener and saying, "Yeah. You cleaned up real good." See. Not weird.

-And if Buffyverse really were to go all Round Table, wouldn't Buffy actually be the one who's King Arthur? Is it so wrong that this probably makes Spike Guinevere? Faith would be Morgan Le Fay, and Willow is obviously Merlin.

-Spike, self-portrait.

Dana drew some pictures small,
scribbled her crayon Watchers.
They beat her, drew her blood
got dripped, down a line of Slayers.
Might've been Fred who drew her
out of hell, on the wall;
Might've been Xander who knew her,
Watched her crayon/pencil it all in.
Willow who fucked her, made her
over Buffy who made her fuck,
or Angel made her Dru.
And when you looked at all those pictures,
small, you saw
she drew them all of you.

mmmmpfhsfdh.... Peter O'Toole...

So who's Lancelot?

And... that's a great poem. Others have expressed why better than I could. But I like it.

I wonder when I'm going to do something with my now-old realization that girl!Spike is Charlotte Rampling?

Angel. DUH, K, DUH!

Thanks.

The difficult part is what *do* you do with a realization like that? It's not conducive to fic. What it is conducive to, actually, is visual special effects that change Spike to Charlotte and back again. Possibly to the tune of "Venus as a Boy". I always wanted to make a VK vid to that song with lots of lesbian sex in it. If only I had any talent at that whatsoever.

I don't know that song. And I know there's nothing to be done with my conviction--but I think it's special! Because Rampling is also Peter O'Toole.

It's Bjork. It's hot. Like, really hot. I don't know if you would like it though. I only own a cover; I forgot who it's by. But it's hotter. Partly just 'cause the coverer is a guy so it does weird things with my slash buttons. But I like it better than the original, actually.

Because Rampling is also Peter O'Toole.

I'll have to find the song, then.

Yeah, no one but me thinks it. I think the way her mouth and eyes work together remind me of O'Toole. When he was young, of course. Actually, only when she was young. "Stardust Memories"-era.

I SEE it! It's the cheekbones. Cool!

I first heard the cover on the Connor mix Stoney sent me, which is the awesomest btw, but since I've heard the Bjork version

Yay! I'm not crazy. Or alone in my crazy!

*Everything* leads back to Peter O'Sexy, you know.

Oh yes, I keep meaning to dl her mixes. I'm probably too late, now.

The Connor one is the bestest, imo. Okay, I only have the Faith and Wesley ones to compare to, but OMG, the Connor just makes me lose my shit every time I listen to it. But then again I have a Connor THING. Lose my shit is not a cool idiom. I could probably burn it for you if you like, but you don't have that Connor THING, so I understand if you don't want it.

I feel like I need to make you a mix tape. CD. Whatever. But I don't know if it has a theme. It has a flavor, though. Like that kitten. No, not really.

"Lose my shit" just sounds really messy. I mean, it's effective, I guess, but it's also gross.

I'd probably have a Connor thing if I'd been able to hang around waiting for him to come along. I gave up before him.

Let me see if stoney's link is still up.

mmm. Kitten.

Yes gross.

My fondest wish right now is to go to Seattle and make you watch AtS S3-4 and make you a big squishy Connor fan. I don't know if you would, though. Like him, I mean. I would bring you up to date on all the stuff that happened so you wouldn't have to suffer through Angel's big forehead before the pretty boy gets there and his Daddy tosses him around like a twig.

...

ok, I need my bunk. I really shouldn't but I really do.

Aww, if you came to Seattle I'd definitely watch AtS with you. It'd be my pleasure. Plus cupcakes!

I dunno if I'd be a fan. But you should keep in mind that if I liked the basic thrust of AtS, even DB wouldn't have kept me away. I do like him lots more in AtS than in BtVS. But it stopped being interesting to me at some point. The show, itself. So it's entirely possible I left before some good stuff happened.
