I probably would have been making this post twenty-four hours ago, if I hadn't been depressingly behind on my f-list. The meta can be found

And it is an essay: What I call "meta" in my own posts is generally a fat dump of my fangirl squeeing, and usually involves a whole lot of ignoring actual issues in fandom. This is analysis.
