But I wanted to point out that in the recent tradition of "oh, that little icon thing is trying to tell me something useful or interesting ( Read more... )

(Anyone else watch that rough Hallmark Christmas movie with Judd Nelson?  I wouldn't have, except, I mean Judd Nelson, and it actually wasn't bad if you ignore most of the cast and writing.  The point of mentioning it is the focus on:)

This is what I wrote for yuletide!

At the Toll Bridge (7409 words) - Fandom: Once Upon a Time (2011)
Summary: (Emma/Graham)  ( Read more... )

I just realized that half the characters in The Pretender have major oral fixations.  God I love this show.  Because they do everything, unabashedly and to extreme.  Every quirk, kink, and fucked-up aspect of the human soul.  You can go anywhere in this 'verse, anywhere and everywhere, and the fandom swallows it whole and begs for more.  The ( Read more... )

PreS.  Maybe the conclusion to draw is I need to move on from LJ...

Trepidation. I have had it.

PS.  This is "The One in which I'm Pretty Damn Sentimental."

6 cups of coffee, 3 cloves, many, many, a dehydrating quantity of tears later, and despite all the ups and despite all the (many... ;\ ) downs this show has had, the finale?

( Gave me everything I always wanted, and more than I ever expected. )

Ignoring all the cranky for the next few hours: I'm a good little optimist when I'm not being cynical. Hell, I'm a good little optimist even when I AM being cynical. It's a gift.

I am wondering where the hell everyone is - I've checked LJ, FB, even Twitter. Nada, or rather, very very little. I expected more of spoilers, I really did.

( Love the ep, like Erica. Who'd'a thunk it eh? )

Guys, I'm reduced to trolling facebook, trying to get myself kicked off..  IDEK, I'm punchy and when I'm punchy I get snippy and pick fights.  WTF happened in the ep?  I want to be as disappointed as possible up front.

In other news: you just have to love a fandom whose only main canon(ish) ship involves two people who just might be siblings.  It ( Read more... )

The title says it all.

Dear Show: I love you and will always love you, but I don't like you very much.  Please don't stab me through the heart.

Pre-loading with even more Pretender. Well, at least I now remember why I find "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" so unbearably sad. There's also (independently) interesting fallout from the fact that "Rebecca" ( Read more... )

Pre-S.  In the last scene with Brent and Julianne, there are three closer shots on Brent.  The first and third, 99% sure, are the same shot.  As in, literally same.  And the first one being there ruins the whole exchange, for me.  I am pouting, officially.  But at least I know wtf happened because it was driving me batty?

I've received quite a few encouraging hints about the awesomeness of this episode (thanks to peculiargroove for taking the spoiler hit for me :D ) But it almost doesn't matter because any natural trepidation is overrun by the extraordinary GLEE of Yuletide, and being one step closer now that noms are done. Except that I'm positive there are noms which aren't on ( Read more... )

A couple weeks back peculiargroove and I challenged each other to make a mini-famix around a Savage Garden song.  She gave me the incredible "Mine," and even though I had intended to do a Kai/Erica mix... Julianne/Brent was all I could think about!  And so:
