Can a lack of wank be a detriment?

Jan 31, 2009 00:54

OK, I'll bite. Can someone please explain what's up with all these references to JP and "Gen" and "Jen"? Is this yet another product of some wanktastic wankitude or something else entirely? Normally I have a clue, but this just sailed straight over my head and is orbiting some alien gas giant past the Oort Cloud. Am I going to regret asking ( Read more... )

I'm not really up on any *wank* about this. But there was someone who in their blog about a dinner at some restaurant in LA posted a photo of Jared outside the restaurant. He was standing near a woman who might be Genvieve Cortese, I guess. I saw something about a debate over what it was her or not.

I assume if there's wank, it's likely something about Jared with a possible girlfriend. *shrugs*

Here's the photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/weezermonkey/3228205610/

I wasn't aware of any wank about this--and I usually stay far away from it. So hopefully I just didn't step in it!

Thanks for the links. From the fannish context I figured it had to do with a potential romantic relationship, but I didn't know where or from what it/who was sourced.

Funny how just a simple picture can cause such discourse.

You and me both. This journal is a wank-free zone.

If you really want to make your eyes bleed, there's some stuff about it here.

Thanks for the link. From the bloody eye reference I thought that you might be linking me to that poisonous SPN Secrets community (you know, wanky secrets + "Bloody Mary" = bloody eyes).

Let me just get on my wank soapbox for one nanosecond and say, "I think anonymous commenting is ridiculous."

hugemind February 1 2009, 18:41:51 UTC

Eh, the bleeding eyes was just my brain trying to come up with something that sounds painful as I was in a bit of a hurry when I typed the comment. :) And I was first linking you to the comment page instead of the thread which would definitely cause some acute head-desking.

But that comm is my first stop when wank is in the air and I have no idea what people are talking about. Anon commenting is the norm there and on its big sister Fandom Wank, apparently it produces more LOLz. Or something.

And it was very apt. :D I think after clicking on the Fandom Wank link, my eyes ARE BLEEDING! What is that scary place?!?! I only have one word: WHY?!

If you wanted to know what my personal hell would be never ending marking/grading (guess what I've been doing for the last couple of days *chants, "die mideterms die"*), a fatal allergy to chocolate, and my flist entirely morphed into the Fandom Wank community complete with e-mail spam. Oh, the horror! Also, in there would be a world without a S5 for SPN. D:

Jared may or may not be dating someone and that is wanktastic alone because it is not ME. Uh. Of course.

Is there an option for flakey? That's my defualt setting. ;)

bowtrunckle February 1 2009, 14:03:44 UTC

because it is not ME. Uh. Of course.

Heh! With this fandom anyone he dates (even you. uh. of course) is sure to cause an uproar. But, you know, if that's the cost... *wink*

Is there an option for flakey?

There is no flakey either. FAIL. In addition to "stupid" and "flakey", the following options should be added to all mood themes specifically for the SPN fandom:

"angsty"
"possessed"
"dead"
"wanky"
"fangirly"
"caffeinated"

blackjedii February 2 2009, 00:12:04 UTC

What would a 'wanky' mood look like? o.O

I don't know how most moodthemes work because I haven't done anything new with them for at least two/three years now but I do remember that I could just type something in and pick an image. Huh. I need a new moodtheme. But I don't think that I could find enough Zelda screencaps to do so...

Tch, I find that I care little about who's dating who just as long as whoever it is can actually act with one another without making goopy lovey-faces. And so far the only goopy-lovey faces have really happened in Monster Movie between Sam and Dean. Very goopy, that look.

Besides, if they're going to let the Js girlfriend's on set, I'm waiting for Danneel Harris. Rowrr. <3

This fandom is nutzo!
Why do some crazy fangirls care so much who-schtoompfs-who???

It warms my heart to know that this time I've been able to bring joy by passing along such vital, earth-shattering information. ;)

This fandom is nutzo!

That is another option that should be added to every mood theme! :D

I have NO clue. It confuzzles me.

yourlibrarian January 31 2009, 17:46:59 UTC

I'd missed this altogether, though I did see the photos of them at some art gallery show earlier. I checked out the thread above and had to laugh at the comment about Gen and Jen sounding the same so that Jared wouldn't have to remember who he was with.

I was more interested in the comment that they'd planned to rotate the actress playing Ruby. I'd rather expected from the beginning that they'd do that since (1) They didn't make any big deal about her coming on the show, publicity-wise, and (2) You'd think that would save them money, hiring several actresses with smaller roles.

blackjedii January 31 2009, 18:12:23 UTC

I'm guessing (and this is NOT meant to be offensive at all) that Cortese came really cheap. And that they hadn't at the time thought anything about the backlash about Sam/Ruby meatsuit issues. (Esp. since it sounded like in an interview with Sera Gamble that she was the only one who had really noticed the skeevy-ness.) If they kept switching her out they'd have had to put somewhere in the script why the body was Al Gore-friendly.

I was really hoping that the CRD call in CAiaD was going to end up being Lilith instead.

yourlibrarian January 31 2009, 18:26:15 UTC

No, I don't think that's offensive because it's likely true. They couldn't have been paying KC that much, and then if they lost her due to pay issues, you'd have to assume they'd be paying GC the same or less. I am interested, however, in whether or not they had to pay the actors for episodes not filmed due to the writer's strike ( ... )

blackjedii January 31 2009, 18:48:59 UTC

That's a good question actually. On one hand, it seems like they'd get full pay for being a "regular" but on another hand, there's the question of force majeure (linked because I suck at spelling that) which would mean the Powers That Be could have legally done nothing.

It could cost more to do multiple casting calls too come to think of it. I don't really see how Cortese "blew them away", I really don't, but I also don't know what Kripke is specifically looking for. The original Ruby sides were for "Kristy" and if I remember right it wasn't exactly all that challenging.
