Pimp and ships

-Angel/Spike ficathon: [livejournal.com profile] grazieprego. It's been decided Buffyverse is retro enough to be cool again. Throw your hat in; it's going to be amazing. The awesomesauciest of writers are doing it! Except for you, you're not, so why are you still here? Even if you don't sail that ship, you're welcome to write their canon selves--there was enough subtext (sometimes text) there to canonball a ship, get it? Wait that metaphor does not make sense. It can involve other ships and people as long as there is Angel/Spike. Just do it; I love it.

-Speaking of ships and canon I don't understand myself. I really don't. I, in fact, stopped understanding myself the moment [livejournal.com profile] fodian began to show me pictures like this:

I seriously regard that as my downfall, because that was the first thing I was attracted to (uh, in a sexy way) something that didn't fall along what I'm usually attracted to. And then it turned into 'ships--Spike/Connor, of all things, and Angel/Connor, and there was that weird two months where I lived and breathed Angel/Spike. But then it REALLY went downhill because there was Draco/Harry, which I understand even less. And then out of left field there was Commissioner Gordon/Bruce Wayne, don't even ask. And now it's Godfather. No, seriously. WTF, brain? There are only even like 2 Godfather slashers on the whole planet (both of them rock, btw, and have awesome hot fic. [livejournal.com profile] hollycomb and [livejournal.com profile] igbc).

-On that note, I have meme: Ask me a fandom-related question, anything related to fandom, and I will try to answer. Ships, het, slash, wank, wars, posting, TV, books, movies, comics, fanon, canon, whatever.

-

I think "shipped in a serious way" means I have went out and searched for fic about them, or tried to write it. I tried to put them in the order I got interested in them, but sometimes the interest resurges again later. Best ships are like that. *nods*

Hahaha. I win!

But seriously. I didn't take her away--we met because of Phantom, which is my primary fandom, and we TRIED REALLY REALLY HARD to like Torchwood, FOR YOU (or something). And it didn't work.

I DID NOT start the Godfather thing. Really. Okay maybe I contributed by inviting her to the screening. But she's corrupting me!

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I can't blame you for the Godfather??? Damn it.

I do not understand the lack of TW love! Big!Man! Big!Coat! Big!Bisexualloving! Ah well. More for me.

Harumph.

*squints at you* You are on probation, Missy.

It's true that I force [livejournal.com profile] tkp to watch various classic films, but she brought that all on her own. I hadn't even seen Part II yet!

Yes. On paper, my lack of TW love is inexplicable. In practice, I can't stand Barrowman and that is key. I am all about the BigBisexualLoving, but the chemistry is all off for me. You should have seen us--squinting at it to try to make it work.

I'll do better, I promise! If nothing else, it seems a shame that you and I, through [livejournal.com profile] tkp, aren't on any of the same pages.

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's a Barrowman thing! I understand. He's very. BARROWMAN.

Poo. We *should* share something. It's weird that we do not.

Yes, I wish to smoosh you, for you are both very cool! And have such interesting thinky thoughts.

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Smoosh us, like together? Like a portmanteau? Like Kiroga? Cause that sounds...frankly, weird.

Either way, we're an anime character.

HAHAHAHA.

Omfg kita have you been watching the bsg webisodes? I just saw one, and 8, omg, 8!!!!

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
No, I never watched any of them.

Sharon/Athena/Eight??? Really?? My girl is on them? Well, it's a damn good thing she's somewhere, bc Lord knows she's only on the show for four fucking seconds anymore.

[identity profile] tkp.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
I know, and that was really starting to piss me off. The one I watched was #9, and it seemed to hint at some whole backstory involving an 8 and my other favorite character, so I'm hoping the earlier webisodes were all about it. Jesus I'm excited. But it doesn't seem to be Athena. But it's an 8 and I love *all* of them.

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, me too re the Eights. I love them ALL.

Who's the other character?
ext_7189: (Default)

[identity profile] tkp.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Gaeta. Dunno why but I LOVE HIM. If I had to pick another it'd be Chief, though. (DUDE DO I WISH another 8 and Chief had another thing!) Dunno what the story is, or what they have to do with each other.

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
I LOVE Chief. I have since Day One. I am afraid it's just bc of his ginormous forehead. :(

A tortilla chip with ginormous eyes and bright pink hair.

So what are you bringing to this?

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Sarcasm and a nice rack?

Oh, that's useful, then. I just remembered I lost my pink hair, too.

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Damn.

I hope someone finds it, thinks its a muppet, and gives it a good home. And cookies.

Like I said--chemistry. He and I don't got it.

I propose we friend anyway (you don't have to) and see how it goes. We can at least share [livejournal.com profile] tkp.

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
I accept your proposal!

I love the way you force me. Come on, baby, force me more! ;o)

As I said to Kita, I wish that you guys had a same page, for you are both awesome and rock my socks.

Yeah, you can't blame her for Gordon/Batman either. I WISH I had someone to blame because then I'd have someone to share weird obsessions with!

But we did try very hard for TW. It was just not for us!

Angel is like Paris; we'll always have him! <3 <3 <3

Heh. It's lonely being QUEEN OF YOUR FANDOM. OH THE BNF PAIN!
