do you see me when you close your eyes?
GUESS WHOSE BIRTHDAY IT IS.
Here's a hint: for a birthday present, we should totally get him this. Or this.
Yes, yes, the answer is (da da daaan) TOM HARDY. And because I steal all my pictures of T-Hard from tumblr anyway, all y'all (hahaha look I'm using it!) should just go look for yourself.
I think for his birthday, people should write me filthy T-Hard/JGL porn. Y/Y? I mean, it's like the gift that keeps on giving...
Anyway! Obligatory celebration out of the way (...I totally didn't know it was his birthday until cherrybina, er, absolutely did not make a post and absolutely did not mention it), let's talk about other things.
- Thank you, Inception fandom, for helping me appreciate the finer points of menswear. You have now officially ruined me for all the boys in my life, who do not wear these sexy classy things all the time. This is highly distressing.
- I keep typing "waistcoast" instead of "waistcoat", argh.
- I am reading so much Smallville fic and I have decided I like the DCU-fusion futurefics better because...I have no idea what actually went on in Smallville during Clark's high school years, never having seen any of the show (ten freaking seasons!). Also, c'mon, it's seriously middle-of-nowhere, Kansas - what a snooze. :( Move them to Metropolis and have Lex be filthy rich and powerful and Clark be all hot and morally superior (and slip in some Batman and Robin to entertain me) and write totally legal sexytimes! :D
- Today I went grocery shopping! I literally had nothing in my fridge except bread and a lot of different sauces because I have been putting this off forever, being stressed by school and other obligations. But now I have food again! I will not perish from starvation!
- On the topic of food, I want to try out all of these recipes (I like grilled cheese sandwiches, okay, don't judge me) but I think most of all I want to try the one with kimchi. Because kimchi is stupidly delicious and also I have some, so I could actually do this.
- I also have a ton of apples from apple-picking over the weekend and I am going to bake them and make delicious apple crisp, mmm. Thinking about baking some cheesecake-brownie cupcakes too, with almonds & chocolate chips on top. Or maybe no chocolate chips; I have everything else, so I could actually do that tonight... !!! No, no I think I will make apple crisps instead.
- Liverpool plays tomorrow! DEAR TEAM, PLEASE DO NOT SUCK. LOVE, MEI. But the game I'm really anxious about is the SUNDAY MATCH AGAINST MANCHESTER UNITED AHHH.
Here, have a few quick Inception recs:
(1) University Arthur/Eames AU series by onelittlesleep. I don't really know how to describe it except that it's different from every other college AU out there and it's utterly delicious. Ridiculously hot, a darker edge than most, and just -- a really nice change of stylistic pace from all the other A/E I've been reading. Lots of sex, some drama and angst, mostly just incredibly wonderful.
(2) Cuddling fics: Pre-deprivation by withlightning, where Arthur is the world's most cuddly sleeper, sort of by accident. And The Big Sleep by jibrailis, where Arthur is a flaily and violent sleeper but Eames discovers just how to soothe him.
It's true: there is no such thing as too many cuddling fics in this fandom. I will never tire of them!
So...you should totally tell me one fandom trope/cliché that you never tire of (assuming done well; always assuming written well!): High school AUs? Hooker AUs? Arranged marriage? Pretend boyfriends? Mistaken identity? accident leading to amnesia a la Korean dramas? Celebrity meets normal guy/girl a la Notting Hill? Coffeeshop AUs?
No kinks this time, just tropes! TELL ME YOUR SHAMEFUL FEEL-GOOD LOVES.
