On the alpine highway of life, you are my all-weather tires.

Man, what is better than a beautiful lazy Saturday morning after a long week of work and various running around? I've had my scrambled eggs, my bagel (half margarine, half Nutella- yummm), and now I've got a cup of the fantastic jasmine tea my sister sent up from Florida. I've got all three Sherlock episodes queued up for viewing, and I haven't

Your new default icon is lovely! I spotted it on an old post I was looking through and thought it was gorgeous.

I love that the random crack crossover pairing we came up with once ranks second in terms of your OTPs, by the way.

That Wash/Zoe moment you mention is unbelievably adorable and hot. I still kind of hate Whedon for breaking them up, while simultaneously loving him for bringing them together.

[lotus0kid]

Hee, thanks! Ain't it though? I've been holding on to it for ages, wanting to use it as my default but not really (I like having an icon I make myself as my default). I'm sad that the person who made it appears to have picked up sticks and left.

I've told you time and again West/Mirror!Wendy is my villain OTP for now and forever. It's just so wonderfully BAMF-y and twisted.

I know, I know. If it helps, there was an interview with Gina Torres where she says that Zoe was pregnant during the movie and now has a beautiful little Washburne baby to care for. Yeah, she's not Whedon or one of the other writers, but I completely believe that is now canon.

[visiblemarket]

Hah, you're so principled. I just use whatever icon I happen to like most, or one that's not very fandom specific. Well, perhaps the person who made yours just changed lj names or something.

They definitely are. I'm trying to remember just why and when we decided that.

Yeah, the whole "Zoe is pregnant" thing is a happy-ish ending that I've seen a couple of fics explore, but that's just the kind of thing that never really satisfies me. Like a) how convenient and b) it's still not Wash. I mean better than nothing and all, but it's still not my favorite wrap-up. It makes more sense than when it happened in Cold Mountain, at least. Heh, it's actually a trope: Someone to Remember Him By.

[lotus0kid]

Eh, I don't think it's wrong to use an icon made by someone else as a default, just that it probably says more about you if it's an icon you made.

Well, I saw 28 Days Later for the first time in the summer of '08, so probably around then.

"Better than nothing at all"- that's pretty much where I leave it. Because, just like Kaylee, there should be someone who's a little Wash and a little Zoe in the world.

[visiblemarket]

*laughs* With me it would say "This person tries hard but isn't actually good at making icons". Although this is technically one I made, in that I found the picture and cropped it to icon size.

January of 2009, apparently.

Aw, well, when you put it like that. It would be an adorable baby.

[lotus0kid]

Pssh, you do way better than me. You can make stuff move, and you can crop things and stuff! I can't even do that much now my not-so-legal copy of Photoshop is gone. :(

Ah, excellent. Wow, over a year.

Exceedingly adorable. And kickass, and funny, and loyal.

[visiblemarket]

Heh, well, yes. But the colors of mine always look weird and I can't figure out why.

Yep. You actually suggested it, because I said Alt!Wendy was my female villain crush, and you wondered how she and West would get along.

Aw, the whole Serenity crew would adore...him...her?

[lotus0kid]

If you say so, I haven't noticed.

Did I? Well, clearly I'm a genius.

I lean toward him, but it could easily be her.

[visiblemarket]

Heh. Well, if you look at this, which is mine, that I just cropped off a screencap, and you look at the bottom of this, which is the same image, you can tell that it's different. I've just not been able to figure out why.

Well, clearly.

Mm, or they could be twins. But that would be a little much.

[lotus0kid]

Hunh, yeah, I guess so. It's still very faint though.

Twins would be a bit much. I like a son- though I have trouble picturing a mix of Gina Torres' and Alan Tudyk's features.

[visiblemarket]

*laughs* The only reason it bugs me so much is because I can't figure out why it happens.

I'm just picturing a ton of super-curly dark blond hair and a big smile.

[lotus0kid]

I wouldn't know, I guess something in how your computer reads the colors.

I wish I could find an actor for him, but I wouldn't put in the effort.

[visiblemarket]

Probably something like that. Or the format I'm saving them in.

I know, no one's really coming to mind.

[lotus0kid]

Maybe. Computers can be so dumb.

Well, anyway, it'd be a shock if there was ever a need for it.

[visiblemarket]

Unfortunately true. I really can't see Joss bringing a baby into storylines, even if the show hadn't been canceled.

Also, I'm so close to finishing something, but I just...am not in the mood to post it.

[lotus0kid]

I think he might've been able to put up with it for the course of a sequel, but hopefully he'll have learned his lesson about pregnancies from Conner on Angel.

Well why tell me then?! You know what I'd say to that! Meanwhile I should seriously turn off Sherlock and get my own writing done.
