how is it even november already

[intrikate88]

It is totally ninamazing's birthday, y'all, so everyone should rush her all at once and pounce and scream happy birthday. Just saying.

Turns out updating with random stuff is harder when you haven't posted in a month or more and just posting I WANT MORE FROM ELENA'S STORY PLEEEEEEEASE will mostly result in YOU'RE BACK AND NOT DEAD CONGRATS.

Life's fine, work's

I have lots of Thinky-Thoughts on Once Upon a Time, Natasha Romanoff, and Steve Rogers, so do let me know if you are interested and it would be worth my time to write them down.

Yes!

Do you ever ship Natasha/Steve?

[intrikate88]

Sometimes! I mostly BFF-ship them because I have a lot of complicated feelings re: Natasha and sex and romance, but I really like how she and Steve have things that only they understand. Like what it's like to be a soldier. What it's like to never age while everyone you could love grows old and dies around you, and it's almost better that way, because the people who don't sometimes appear to die and so you can never, ever move on: every single wound is fresh, forever. They spend their time with these other people who are so, so young; Steve and Natasha are barely ten years apart, and they know hunger. Steve knows the Depression-era scarcity, and Natasha knows that the Soviet Union, once you step out of the shelter of the Party, shares its hunger and desperation equally among everyone. While the rest of the Avengers have carved out some homes for themselves, of given up on having them, Natasha and Steve both know that you can never really depend on coming back home, or even just the place you live, and see it still standing instead of

It's just nice to hear from you!!. I'm busy doing battle with those others, I've given up on OUAT and that's about all. good luck with grad school!!!

Oooh more thinky thoughts, please!

[dreamingahead]

I always have no idea what to write after I've been absent a long time. Only thing I can think of is, "I'm still alive... LET'S DISCUSS THESE SHOWS I WATCHED". Ultimate ice breaker, lol.

Good luck for your application! I hope you get into the program you want to. What is it, by the way? :)

We should definitely talk Revenge sometime. I feel so bad for skipping out on LJ after you wrote that amazing comment on my latest reaction post which put a huge smile on my face. N/E ARE SO GLORIOUS THIS SEASON, I just don't know where to begin. The good news is, I'm doing better at being a senior lately, so getting back to your comment & writing my feels about the latest two eps as well as the upcoming flashback ep is at the top of my LJ priority list. I wish more of my LJ friends had overwhelming Revenge feelings, lol.

OH MY GOD I AM JUST SUCH SHIT AT UPDATING LJ ALWAYS NO MATTER HOW MANY ENTRIES I THINK OF EVER DAY.

Maybe I should lay off Tumblr or something, it's so much easier to mindlessly hit reblog than it is to actually write down thoughts.

Revenge has been so good. I'm so glad that it's going to be on tonight, Thanksgiving disrupted my shows and that is just not cool. I have such mixed feelings about Padma and can't wait to see how that works out, although Ems hooking up with Aiden was not a popular move with me.

LOL @ THIS ENTIRE COMMENT, ARE YOU ME

[intrikate88]

Well, I think that Nolan is seeing some big shadows behind those giant hearts blocking his vision, so I look forward to seeing how that all goes down. I think she has a story and some interests of her own, and knowing this show they're probably more complicated than we expect.

Aiden, on the other hand, came into town with an agenda that Emily made it very clear she was not going along with, she's made him unwelcome, and then he keeps going around interfering in her business, lying about it, endangering people she cares about, etc. And he's supposed to be her guiding light and comfort, but I'm just ready to see her dump him. In the sea.
