So, I'm back.
This probably isn't too much of a surprise to all of you, though for me, I am a bit shocked. I've still been trolling around LJ occasionally and I got sucked into a couple of ficathons and what have you, but the biggest reason I'm posting again is this:
I have a new ship, and tumblr does let me find pretty pretty pics of them, but it's just not conducive to my fangirl heart in needing to purge. Pontificate. You know, go on and on and on about it.
I tuned in because Sarah Wayne Callies was on it, and I had loved her on Prison Break. I had no knowledge of nor had I have ever watched any zombie-related anything ever before in my life. I somehow got sucked in, despite the gore (and yes, three and a half years later, I still cover my eyes during a zombie kill). I liked a lot of the characters, and if I had to name a ship, it would have been Rick and Lori, but, yanno, this show just really isn't about ships. It's not that kind of show, and so I've never really cared that much about the romance aspect, even if I really enjoyed all the character development and the complexities between the characters; in some ways I've really, really missed Dale and Shane since the end of S2 and had concealed resentment for Michonne through most of S3. When Andrea died at the end of S3, I remembered my latent shipper heart for her and Rick, something I'd forgotten from the beginning of S1, because well, like I said, this show just isn't about that kind of stuff.
And then earlier this season, there was this little moment between Daryl and Beth, and my fangirl ears pricked forward like a dog's, ever so slightly, just to relax again into not really thinking about stuff like that.
And then last week, 4x10 "Inmates" happened, and Daryl and Beth got paired off in a scattering of all the characters, and suddenly I was SUPER intrigued by the idea of them. Even though Norman Reedus is 16 years older than Emily Kinney. Even though I don't particularly find Daryl attractive. I have no idea what's happening to me, to be honest.
Then I went to a ficathon, someone prompted these two and I started writing, and I can't stop...and well, I have to be back on LJ to post what I think is going to end up being something much longer than I could have ever guessed.
So, I ship Beth and Daryl. I hope I find my people out there in the fray, because I need support. It's sort of nuts because it's my first new ship in a really long time that has peaked my interest so much.
As an aside, I've been watching Josh Holloway's new show, Intelligence, and I don't love, LOVE it, but I really like the relationship between Gabriel and Riley, so I'm invested in it for now.
Still love Damon and Elena, no worries about that, and the Veronica Mars movie is less than THREE WEEKS AWAY and I'M DYING.
So there, have all my shipper feels. Whew, that feels good. I needed to unload.
If anyone's around to talk about any of these things, I'm here for you. If you DON'T like Beth and Daryl, that's totally cool, but please don't rain on my parade. Kthx!
