A Few ): Things, A Lot Of :D Things
1. I suppose I should admit this one first, because it's still really bothering me. I won't be finishing my big bang. ): Despite how this might look like it correlates to me falling on my face for a new fandom, I was really struggling with it for weeks before that. Which sucks, because seriously, I fucking love demon!verse and I wanted to do it so badly, but it just wasn't working and trying to force it wasn't helping. Sorry. ): I've gotten more of Divide By Two written though, so hopefully I'll be able to finish that up soon. Because Arthur and Eames as bamfs with a little bb will forever be one of the best things ever.
2. In much cooler news, I got a Distinction for my honours coursework this semester despite being sure that I didn't understand postmodernism at all and was surely going to fail horribly and be thrown out. SO FUCK YEAH. \o/ I actually feel like this time next year I'll actually be able to get into the PhD program.
3. I meant to rec this story a couple of months ago and never got around to it, so I'll do it now: And The Father Hen Will Call His Chickens Home, A/E, by edoraslass
To paraphrase the review I left for it, this is EXACTLY the kind of fusion I fucking love in Inception. It's a fusion with Terminator, so knowledge of the general Terminator canon is useful, and it works SO. SO. WELL. I feel like the start was a bit shaky but I am oh so glad I kept reading, because edoraslass makes Arthur as John Connor and Eames as the guy sent back from the future to protect him work. I seriously nearly cried at the end, it's awesome.
4. Grimm remains flawless in its trashy paranormal badness. This is a really great Nick/Monroe 5 times fic on the kink meme that I recommend anyone read... it's 5 times neither of them said I love you and one time one of them did, and it's really lovely and sweet and IC and doesn't really need knowledge of the canon to get the gist. We also got things like this in 1.06 (PICKING A SINGLE MOMENT IS SO HARD OMG SO MANY)
Let's just talk about the look on Nick's face in the third gif. And the way Monroe actually turns and explains himself as if to say THIS IS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. Also there's the whole thing where Monroe is deliberately standing protectively in front of him during that whole scene. I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my shrill fangirl screaming. For the record there was also a (SUPER AWKS mostly but jfc the implications) scene that was basically a kink meme's wet dream in terms of confirming that Blutbaden mating habits run to chasing, rough wrestling for dominance, biting, and licking. No amount of awkward slo-mo can make this a bad thing.
Did I mention it's like this show is deliberately trying to press every single one of my buttons? Gif under cut a) so I can leave it big and b) because there's some blood in it and I don't want to splash that on people's flists without warning.
YOU GUYS KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS.
5. My cat Riku has been missing for a week. I know people have been saying cats wander off for long periods some times, but we've had him for over five years now (Allan gave him to me when we moved in together) and he's NEVER gone. EVER. He's always back by the afternoon, wanting to be let in and fed. It's so uncharacteristic and I am so fucking wrecked over it and I feel so dumb, but he's my baby, you know? Happymaking gifs and or recs and or discussion would be much appreciated at this juncture; I went to the pound earlier to see if he was there and it was so awful. ):
