Things That Are Problems In My Life Right Now
In no particular order. This is all fandom-related, and it'll jump around a lot - you might even be interested in some of it.
1. Katelyn Tarver. Ever since I downloaded her EP and became obsessed with Favorite Girl and Better (which apparently doesn't exist on the internet beyond iTunes), I've been referring to her as my Imaginary Girlfriend Katelyn Tarver. I already knew she was gorgeous and adorable, but that voice and those lyrics, holy god am I in love. I don't have much more to say on the matter, and if you've follow my tumblr you've already seen too many pictures of her, but this has been my mental state over the past few days. A constant state of ffffffffffjaskdaslkdjfaljdfKATELYN.
2. Slash-corrupted Childhood Cartoons. Two in particular, actually, that are becoming problems. The first is that I accidentally stumbled across some Toy Story 3 fanart of Sid seducing Andy, and my brain latched onto it and I've been drabbling it and shit this pairing is so dysfunctional and unhealthy but it makes a damn good story. I'm hooked. You might even see a oneshot of that soon. The second happened today, when I saw a gif of Tommy and Chuckie from Rugrats and I realized that I have future!shipped them for a very long time, but I never knew it until now. This one makes me feel like I'm going to hell less, though, because it's a very sweet and innocent best-friends-falling-in-love thing, and I've spent a lot of time already meta-ing Chuckie and his issues, which are numerous, and now I just want to give the boy a hug. <3 I mean, you watch their relationship, and try to tell me that once adolescence hits Chuckie won't fall in love and get all flaily and confused and hopeless. And I haven't even SEEN All Grown Up.
3. Lord of the Rings. YES THIS IS WHAT WE IN THE BUSINESS CALL FANDOM SCHIZOPHRENIA. Because how can I have issues about pretty tweendom girls, childhood cartoons, and epic fantasy classics at the same time? It's actually making me worry for my sanity. But I explained how it came about in this tumblr post, and now I am hooked. In fact, if you'll excuse my terminology, Two Towers is actually the most direct example of Javid, Blush, and Sprace that I can think of outside of tweendom. The Javid couple is, of course, Frodo/Sam - as Captain Obvious will tell you, these two are so canon it hurts. And it hurts so good. Sam is one of my favorite characters of all time, and watching him trying to save Frodo as he slips away under the ring's influence makes me want to cry. The way they treat each other is so sweet - it's clear how deeply they've affected each other's lives. The Blush couple is Pippin/Merry - they are Those Two Guys through and through, and while they don't necessarily need to be shipped the way Sam and Frodo NEED TO BE SHIPPED, they are adorable and close in a quirky, banter-y way that makes them fun to watch. And then there's Legolas/Aragorn, which is subtle enough to be ignored, like any good Sprace couple, but can be inferred by a lot of little things that I really can't explain away with Close Friendship. I think I only started thinking of them this way because they were attractive and running around giving each other significant looks, and I thought it'd be pretty damn hot. But then there were a few scenes were I was like, okay, these two actually have a Thing. Anyways, I'm rambling, but this movie is well done and emotionally devastating and probably the perfect movie even if you don't want to ship anything. NOW I NEED TO GO WATCH THE FIRST AND THE THIRD. I might even try reading them, but it is summer and I have no attention span and I might not be able to handle Tolkein right now. Someday.
WHEW. There. Now you know my issues. THE MORE YOU KNOW ~
