IDGAF, I thought the wedding was lovely, the dress was gorgeous, the Queen was adorable and William and Catherine are beautiful together and I hope they have a wonderful life. /sap It's the little things, I think: the Queen saying "It's amazing" when she got back to the palace, Harry sneaking a peak as Kate walked up the aisle and saying something like "You'll never guess how gorgeous she looks", the pair of them on the balcony being adorable about the kisses, etc etc. Also, the
cartwheeling priest verger. The
evening dresses were amazing too (UNF, Pippa's *___*), although I admit that my first thought on seeing Kate's was "Princess Leia called - she wants her dress back". :DDD Also, all the bodysnarkers can STFU - Kate looks like she's naturally slim, and she lost a little more due to wedding stress, but fuck the fucking fuck off with your "Fuck, no one that skinny can possibly have kids/be a good role model" because WOW, what the fuck? a) she is not a baby machine, b) a good dress, which these clearly were, makes anyone look skinny because to society skinny = good, and c) so she has a small figure, o noes sound the alarm. Feelings, I has them.
- Tommy apparently spent yesterday Spooning with @Monterrific watching the royal wedding. THAT'S MY BOY. Presumably he also stole Beatrice while he was there, like he's been planning for ages :D

bandom:
still adorbs.happy birthday @patrickstump you rad lil man.
[thank you] @petewentz PS: How old will I have to be to not be a "Lil man?" Or is that just a title we'll both have until someone invents Tall Pills?
Answer: YOU'LL ALWAYS BE YOUNGER THAN HIM SO THERE'S NO ESCAPE. EMBRACE IT.
Also,
Pete talks about "Women Who Rock", and after mentioning Debbie Harry a lot (and mumbling like a teenage boy, oh Pete), he adds that he'd "be remiss if I did not mention Ashlee Simpson, because that was a girl I always looked up to and uh, always kind of evolved and was ahead of what other people were doing." &PETE; Your loyalty is amazing and endearing.
- *cough* here, have some
girl!Gerard (well, girl!Party Poison). And now excuse me while I DIE OF HOTNESS, JDSJADGSAGFLAS. WHY IS EVERYTHING
theopteryx DOES SO AMAZING, WHHYYYYY.
Also, apparently
Glenn Beck says "SING" is propaganda (for what, IDK) and does a ~dramatic reading of the lyrics that has fandom in stitches and is generally unintentionally hilarious. Frank's, response, natch, is Yay! Fuck that dude's face with Obama's birth certificate. RT @raytoro: Mission accomplished.
http://t.co/dlMchLX. STAY CLASSY FRANK, ILU.
And speaking of Frank being awesome, he posted a picture of the twins on a swing and then LynZ was all @FrankIero @jamiasan I'm going to get those babies, squish them and kiss them. B is far too mobile and everyday she gets faster (AKDJGDHHDHLADKSGFLSHFKGFJSGFJHFJS ♥_________♥) and then Frank replied @lynzway haha youre more than welcome to but theres not much time! Theyre standing up & doing new dangerous things everyday! Its a madhouse! WHY IS THIS BAND AND EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM SO AWESOME.
-
fandoms. colliding. Benjamin Levi Madden (lololol, I didn't know I still remembered that) GTFO out of my new fandoms >:( By which I obviously mean, keep being adorable and making friends with everyone in bandom, kthx.
- and speaking of old fandoms, Simple Plan are gearing up for a new album and
hott_baguettes is back up (ajsdgfdjhgfks you do not know how often I spent refreshing that comm when I was fifteen and meant to be working) so I joined because PIERRE/DAVID FOREVERRR and THIS VIDEO OMG (it's from 2009, and no, there is no face-eating, but it's still pretty adorable):
Click to view
AHA, his little bemused face! (after 0:23, skip to 0:53, then you can stop) Oh, I didn't realise I missed these two and their penchant for feeding each other/touching each other/generally being ridic. <333
- everyone's seen the new
HP7II trailer by now, but I'm posting it anyway. Apart from the random Harry-and-Voldie-fall-off-the-wall-together thing, it looks quite good and close to canon, so \o/. And y'know, I've seen all the other films, I kind of have to go see this one too.
- I find things like this
Schrödinger's Rapist article...fascinating? Does that sound too weird? It's just that, while I am aware of being alone and having my iPod in at night or whatever, these articles are so far from my (privileged, sheltered, white upper-middle-class) experience that I am torn between feeling all DDDD: for the women for whom being harassed on the bus/groped on the train/stalked all the way home is normal, and a kind of What To Do information-gathering in case it should ever happen to me.
Also, I kind of agree with some of the comments - I personally don't assess every single dude who comes near me as a threat, and if I'm reading/staring out the window on a train/bus I wouldn't mind if my seatmate interrupted to have a chat, provided they took the hint if I didn't want to do so any more. Also, I do think there is an element of speaking out - if a dude's too close in your space you tell him to please back up a little, and if he won't take the hint then you do it yourself. And I do personally feel a little sorry for the socially-awkward guys, cause I'm a socially-awkward girl and if I was sexswapped, that article would have made me feel reassured about how not to do stuff, but probably also more terrified than before that I would always do something wrong and then I would never try and chat up a girl again ever. However, that is just me.
Having said that, when I was at college last year, a couple of times I was sitting at the computer doing some work on the internet when suddenly this guy, late teens/early twenties and reasonabley well-built, would suddenly be right up behind me in my personal space with no warning whatsoever and beaming at me over my shoulder, asking how I was. All it took was a smile and bright "I'm fine thank you!" to get him to back off a little, but not completely, and his carer was busy chatting to a friend and didn't notice. Now, he wasn't really a threat, and had clearly been taught/decided that that was Being Nice and How You Deal With People You Don't Know, but I have to say that until his carer noticed and called him away I did not feel 100% safe. And that was a guy who was not what I would have deemed a serious threat, just a little way down the socially-awkward scale.
Anyway, on to other things, like
last night's SPN HOLY SHIT (liveblogged as it happened):
Wait, the recap's not gonna mention Lenore? Okay...
Oh look, a black dude. Any bets on how long before he dies? Oh look, Eve. Right about now then. Dude, she's in a nightdress, and it's got blood on it. You really want to hit on her? Really? Wow, creepy. Aw, look, a nice guy who actually asked if she was alright. Guess he's gonna bite it too. See, he noticed the blood. Aaaand she's being evil, but in a sexy way, natch (even the music agrees). Oh wait, I think I saw that special effect in Avenged Sevenfold's "Beast And The Harlot" video, cool. Oh look, now she's being evil and gay, jackpot! And I'm pretty sure I saw this scene in The Scene Is Dead, pool-table-munching and all. :DD lol Oh Eve, just chillin' in the corner with a drink (is that blood?), ilu.
UNF Dean, make things with your hands moar. Whatcha doin' tho? OHHH, right, phoenix-ash!bullets, cool. Yeah, Dean, you're not evil, so y'know, it prolly won't work on you. Duh. Cas, you should drop by and repeat the whole "Righteous Man" thing for him, JS. Thank you Sam, that's what I said. Yeeeeeah Bobby, you lampshade that Dean always calls Cas, ilu. "Why has it always gotta be me that makes the call, huh? It's not like Cas lives in my ass! Dude's busy-" *wings* "Cas, get outta my ass!" LOL SHOW ILU, CATER TO MY NEEDS MOAR I DARE YOU. "I was never in your..." OKAY, WHO WROTE THIS EP? CAUSE THEY NEED TO BE MADE SHOWRUNNER, STAT. :DDDDDDD Excuse Dean while he takes a second to recover from the INCREDIBLE GAY of that little conversation. Also Sam, what is your hair? Seriously, : /.
Awww, Lenore! Dammit Cas, stop abducting people vampires without their consent. Did Dean ever meet her? I didn't think he did, but apparently I'm wrong. LOL, OH THIS EPISODE - DEAN, BE MORE GLEEFUL ABOUT YOUR BROTHER'S BADASSERY. Cas, your people skills are clearly still rusty - when formally introduced to people you just kidnapped, you at least say "Hello." And why are you being so shady about this, do you know something? "So we don't have the element of surprise - we're still goin' in." Oh Bobby. No really, what's with Cas? He's all ~half in shadow~ and frowny when Sam says "you still give a crap, you don't wanna kill." Are we ~foreshadowing next week? Because *___*. Oh Lenore, baby no. (Given Dean's "Smitey McSmiterson comment later) Cas, this is not the time to exercise your smiting powers because the Winchester's seem reluctant, okay? Oh fuck. Okay then, foreshadowing it is. Dean bb, I know. (Another dead woman who served her purpose and was no longer useful to the storyline. Oh Show.)
Sammy, do you own an iPad? ♥__♥. ...Cas? Okay, are you going off by yourself cause otherwise the Winchesters will see something you don't want them to? D: Dean, your obsession with asses this episode is starting to become eyebrow-raising. Also, I think I've read this fic. Oh look, now he gets dick jokes. My baby, how far you've come :' ). Also, I appreciate the time Cas takes to make sure Dean knows it's metaphorical only. SHOWRUNNER, SERIOUSLY. Oh Saaaam, I know. ...Dean, you have seen Cas without his powers, and "a baby in a trenchcoat" he ain't. lol, Sam's little doubletake at Cas's faaace. Dean, stop hurting angels' feelings! And wow, that was as much a couple fight as the one in the waitng room in "Lucifer Rising" that got Cas to rebel. Also, lol at sulky!Cas pulling himself away from staring moodily out the window to listen to Bobby.
Oh look, it's Dean&Cas, investigators extraordinaire. Aaand that was inevitable, but lol, Deeean. Om nom nom, lockpicks - unf, things with hands etc. Aw, I am disappoint writer, I expected Cas to check out Dean's ass after all that. AW YEAH BOBBY, YOU BULLSHIT YOUR WAY OUT OF THAT LIKE A BOSS. No really, what was that, the fourth ass reference in ten minutes? LOL SAM, what is that car? Hell, what's that car Dean? Heeeey, apparently Jimmy has good eyesight! Dean, stop calling him a baby - what are you, twelve? Also, did you just pat him on the hip?! Pigtail-pulling like WOAH. Wait, what? Are they all dead? Oh shit, it's like fatal Ed disease. Good cop, bad cop :D. Aaaand another black guy dead.
Dean, what is with all your geek references lately? *_____* I mean, IDK what geek reference it is, but I know it is one, mostly because of your grin and Sam's face. ...Oh dear (lol Dean, every man for himself). Ah, this is that fight scene when Dean sprays Cas with blood, \o/. ...And also saves his life - oh :D. UNF CAS, FIGHT MOAR. Oh hey, interrogating!Bobby, oh yeeeaaaah. DON'T TRUST THE SMALL CHILDREN- oh okay, clearly Doctor Who has just made me paranoid. N'aww, ICWUDT writer. Look at you Dean, talking to the little not!Sammy one, n'aww.
...Cas? Okay, no wonder Bobby gets suspicious, you're goal-oriented as all fuck aren't ya? No more empathy for you : ((. Oh bb. lol, sad music and ~looks and everything, WHAT. However, the Winchesters acknowledging the parallels with these Silver kids is adorbs, NGL. Booys, your fond faaaaces! Cas, you're like a dog waiting for its master to come back, <3. No really, have I mentioned how much I love that Cas has finally learned sarcasm? Because :DDD. Return of the fingerquotes, yessss. Yeeahhh Bobby, I see you gettin' suspicious. Aw boys, I know, you kind of wish you'd had a nice uncle to go to. ...Bobby, that's probably not a good idea, he's clearly kind of off. Um, yeah. Shit.
So, you found Cas a gun I assume to go with that bullet? ...Dean, that's a stupid plan. SAM, ILU AND YOUR CELL PHONE <3. Oh c'mon, you should've got that the second she gave you something you didn't order. Okay, so we're blaming Crowley for this. Good times. Also, this storyline suddenly makes a lot more sense and ties together two of the five season plot threads, \o/. OH YES, FANDOM STRIKES AGAIN - I TOLD YOU CATCHING HIM A DEVIL'S TRAP SEEMED TOO EASY FOR THE KING OF FREAKING HELL. Oh Cas, what the fuck are you up to?
Oh god, it's aaalllll about the souls - Death did warn you I guess. For a second I thought she meant Crowley was stringing up actual children, and I was preparing to knock him from my list of Top Five Awesomest SPN Characters, but phew, safe.
"[B]ut I eventually got it right. Quiet, smart, inconspicuous..." Ohgodohgodohgod, tell me she isn't talking about Cas. Oh fuck. "...it can spread through a whole town in a day. Oh, and the best part? You've been with it the whole time." DDDDDD: ..."Little Ryan." Ohmygod, ohmygod okay. 'S kind of a shame though, cause that would excuse Cas's behaviour as him being infected. Now it's just...him. Oh, poor uncle guy : (((.
DEAN, THAT IS APPROXIMATELY THE STUPIDEST THING YOU COULD EVER SAY. Cas was the one who yelled his name, not Sam <3333 OH OKAY, NVM, ALTHOUGH SERIOUSLY. Also, isn't that just a little anti-climactic for the Mother Of All? Also DEAN STOP TALKING, YOU HAVE A CHUNK MISSING FROM YOUR THROAT. UUUUUGH CAS YOU MOTHERFUCKING (heh) BAMF.
Hey Cas, if you're so worried about Dean why'd you need Sam to prompt you to heal him? Or were you getting there? Also, that was a very heavy smack, was that payback for all the "baby" comments? Actually, I think pissy!Cas is my favourite. As is anticipatory!Dean, :D. Oh, they're already dead - I'm with you Dean, who the fuck ganked them? Now would be THE BEST TIME from Crowley to say from behind them "I did." No Sam, demon, no 's'. Shame you didn't catch Cas's understanding nod. Oh, worried!Cas is worried - quick, what do they know? (Was that a second of suspicion before you told him, Dean? Nope, apparently it was just reluctance to tell him he failed.) Oh crap - time to lie. It's kind of depressing how good you've got at it bb. Sam and Bobby know what's up - oh Dean, you're the only one that still believes in hiiiim. Oh Sam, look at you reassuring your brother <33
OH HAI CROWLEY, YOU FUCKING FIERCE BITCH YOU. Cas, Caaas, what are you doing?
OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT PROMO. OVERDRAMATIC WORDING AND EVERYTHING. CROWLEY IN AN APRON! MORALLY-CONFLICTED!CAS DESPERATELY WANTING PROOF THAT HE'S DOING WHAT'S RIGHT NECESSARY! DISBELIEVING-AND-ANGRY!DEAN! BAMF!CAS! OH GOD OH GOD IS IT NEXT WEEK YET? HOW ABOUT NOW?
AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FANDOM, FOR THE LAST TIME: CAS. IS. NOT. EVIL. AND DEAN STILL CARES ABOUT HIM, IT'LL JUST TAKE NEXT WEEK'S WAKEUP CALL TO GET HIM TO REALISE THAT. AND FFS, CAS IS NOT GOING TO DIE. /removes self from ONTD_SPNP
Next week I hope that, when Dean has to take the inevitable moment to go punch things, either Sam follows him and is all "He's doing it for the right reasons Dean, just in the wrong way. Like me," and Dean's all "*sigh* I know", or Balthazar pops up and gets all serious for once and is all "Do you know what he's been through? How he's agonised over everything that he did? And he's doing it all for you, you ungrateful bastard, so show him some bloody understanding." Or, y'know, Cas himself can gets all pissy and dangerous, wing!shadows and all, and be all "Don't you dare lecture me about morality, Dean Winchester. I am doing this for you, to save you and every other pathetic, stupid, infinitely precious human on this planet, and I thought you of all of them would understand the agony of having to kill a brother to save the world." *glees* Is it next weeeeeek yeeeet?
AND ASKDKAHFLDS;AHFGFDLS
THE FINALES. I too am a) side-eying anything that calls Lisa and Ben being kidnapped "Dean's worst nightmare", because no, b) side-eyeing the explosion of fandom delight that Lisa and Ben might die, and c) worried about the lack of Cas in the descriptions of both. I mean yeah, maybe he's off in Heaven after next week, esp if he and the Winchester's fall out, but still *worries*. Please don't make it a hat trick of Season Finale, Cas Dies. Pleeeease Show.
