The other day Amiel and I talked out my entire Frodo/Sam headcanon. I did not realize I had a Frodo/Sam headcanon! It has little to do with the films and is very much about my book feelings, and of course I'm unsurprised that I have these feelings, but I'd never actually organized them before.

The other day I lay around sleepily with Amiel (chemo for them + early shift sleep dep for me = mostly just wanting quiet snuggles) and together talked out my entire Frodo/Sam headcanon.

i. Discovery du jour (or really du holiday two days ago): I am really, really fond of hot chocolate + Bailey's, which I guess is basically Irish coffee for people who don't care for lots of caffeine. I am now working on convincing myself that this is a dessert drink, not a breakfast drink.

ii. This Worst of the Time Lords, and specifically its ( Read more... )

Another round of the Home Team Awesome Women Vote-Off! Pretty much all the women here are awesome; I had a couple quiet wails of despair when I saw things like Luna vs Brennan or, god help me, Martha vs Eowyn -- because, you see, Martha and Eowyn are contenders for a spot in my top five or so fictional crushes, and they fight and they win, and I ( Read more... )
