This is a shameless slutty enabling post.

If you have ever had an IM conversation with me, you know that during the course of that conversation there is a 90% chance I will, out of nowhere, burst out with "YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE A GREAT FANVID?" and then rattle off some idea or five. Which would be great, if I was capable of making videos. Well, technically, I do have Windows Movie Maker

I LOVE The Special Two :D

also, okay, what you said about Bradley being a smitten kitten (ADORBS). I have this book that used to be my mother's that married Western and Chinese astrology. So it has 144 signs, right? I'm Leo/Horse, for example. I don't set much stock by it but sometimes it's amusing as hell. Last night I looked up Bradley (Libra/Pig) and legit the very first sentence are "Loving is what the Libra/Pig does best. This person is devoted, exclusive, jealous and loyal to a fault. nothing really counts much in the Libran Pig's life except the relationship he or she has with a mate. All activity centres around the bond that Libra/Pig has created with someone else." I loled heartily. XD

I'm Sagittarius/Dragon, but I've always found astrology to be wildly off for me - it always says I'm a strong leader who loves to travel, when really I just prefer to do things on my own or be second-in-command, and I hate travel and adventure.

But yes, Bradley's just much... more with Colin, isn't he? Bless his little cotton socks. <3

Mine's usually fairly good, I think. My name even lines up with it, lol - my first name means 'chief' and my middle name means 'noble'. I'm a Leo with Leo ascendant with that name, and I was obsessed with the Lion King as a kid. This amuses me. :P

lol more of Libra/Pig: "The Libra/Pig's best shot is in the love department. He is able to give of himself in personal interchange and shared complicity better than most other human beings. [...] He probably doesn't want much more than love, comfort and a few stabs at an artistic hobby or two."

If I had ascendant water signs mine would make sense, but no, its fire signs fire signs pure fire signs. It makes a little sense in that I am stubborn and vocal, and I had a temper when I was little. (Which is funny, because now I'm very hard to get anything more than bemused and irritated.) But where it REALLY makes no sense is my twin brother, who is the most relaxed, passive, non-firey person you ever did meet. ASTROLOGY IS WHACKY/NON-SCIENTIFIC.

Though I do think Bradley's, though perhaps overstated, is amusingly applicable. He's quite a devoted people-person. I mean, he lived in the States, what did he say, for a year or two as a kid? And he's still so close to them and refers to them as some of his best friends? To stay that close (especially since that time was partially pre-internet) speaks to all sorts of people skills I can't even begin to comprehend.

...Though he does still seem utterly clueless the second the person in question has girl parts. HE CAN'T WIN 'EM ALL.

I was a bossy kid, lol. It's a good thing most people mellow out :P

I've just remembered you have red hair and I'm slightly amused by this. :P

He does seem very good with people, and he seems to really enjoy it. Colin strikes me as someone who would sometimes need some alone time to chill out but Bradley, not so much. Like even if he wasn't interacting with them I think he'd like people ~around~. Yeah, idk how long exactly but a year or two sounds about right. And he still visits! You go boy.

I moved from New Zealand when I was 11, and my best friend from when I was 7 is still my best friend now (we're 20). We email back and forth, ring up occasionally, and fly over to see each other when we can. It's a lot easier to maintain with the internet though!

[chibirhm]

Yes, I do have red hair, but so does my very calm twin brother (though none of the rest of my family) so really, none of this carries any scientific weight. Though I was a handful. My parents refer to me as "high risk, high reward."

Yeah, Bradley's the classic extrovert and Colin's the classic introvert. No wonder Bradley didn't understand him at first. Someone needing... quiet time? Space? Not being DEEPLY EXCITED BY PEOPLE?!?!?!! It would all be so confusing!

[alexi_lupin]

lmao nice description XD

It's funny, I do need a lot of alone time but i also really spark up and thrive in groups, so... I'm in the middle somewhere.

I do think it's so amazing that they's such great mates because they are really rather opposites, aren't they? In a complementary way. :P *SQUISHES THEM* There's a fic around (I can never remember where I read things or who wrote them or what they were called) where Bradley was a puppy (Bradley is actually a puppy irl though of course) and Colin was a cat and it was just so cute. Brdaley was all COLIN COLIN PLAY WITH ME COLIN DON'T YOU WANT TO PLAY? and Colin was just like "...No. You smell weird. go away." But eventually they ~bonded~

[chibirhm]

Yeah, I'm a severe introvert. I like people and am very happy and talkative around them, but I need a lot of time alone with no one bothering me. Like, for every hour I spend with people, I need two alone to recover. Online people I'm fine with because I can sign off whenever I want or space out and not talk for a half hour and no one takes it personally, but real life people are like augh, so tiring.

I remember that fic! And then Colin gets chased up a tree and Bradley ~saves~ him and it's beautiful.

BUT BRADLEY IS ACTUALLY A DOG. THIS IS TRUE. I HAVE SCIENTIFIC PROOF.

[alexi_lupin]

I'm a homebody. I like being at my house, and I like it when no one else is there. not all the time of course, but I do need some quality time alone in my house or I start to get really frustrated. I mean that might be ages - I'm fine on school camps and such, but eventually it's like "OK WOW I NEED EVERYONE TO LEAVE PLEASE." Apparently even as a baby I was totally chilled when I was alone.

Do you use gmailchat by the by? I am alexilupin at gmail dot com, unsurprisingly enough. Though I go on holiday in like 2 hours, and I'm going to meet the LJ friend who I chat to most on gmailchat (mcgooglykins) so I might not be on for a week and a half lol.

HE IS THOUGH. LIKE, FOR SERIOUS. I'M WITH YOU ON THIS. I'M NOT EVEN A DOG PERSON, ACTUALLY, BUT I AM A BRADLEY PERSON.

We should have Puppy!Bradley icons or something.

[alexi_lupin]

I've just abruptly realised that my stepmother is a Libra/Pig too and I don't feel like this fits her, so it's hit and miss. But hilarious when applied to Bradley. :P
