I have a new obsession
I will admit it, I have a new obsession, and it's name is Iron Man. I saw the movie on my birthday...oh...4 days ago and I can't stop thinking about it. Perhaps playing the sound track on repeat wasn't such a good idea. Meh, but I like it. Gets me in the mood. Lets me pretend the bad fic I read isn't as bad. Not all the fics I've read is bad...only a lot of it. The stuff on Live Journal seems to be better than the stuff on Fanfiction.net. I don't know why.
Um, there shouldn't be spoilers in this post. But hey, it is my page so I can post spoilers if I want. In any case, I'm not really in a plot type mood, so no spoilers. Lucky you, you get to read a page full of fluff. *cough*
I'd post more about the movie, but the post I was composing in my head has been replaced by a single thought....I had no idea Robert Downey Jr. is so hot. Ahem. Seriously. Before this movie I didn't even know what he looked like, and when I heard he was in the movie I was like meh, whatever. And now. Now I have this urge to find everything he has been in and watch it. I'll refrain from doing that though. He's been in too many things.
So, what am I doing right now that I'm so obsessed with Iron Man? Well, for one...I found some icons. Like the one I'm using right now. I could stare at that icon alllll day. *sigh* Focus. Focusing! I also got new wallpaper. It was on the official website. Be warned, the official site has music, so don't have your speakers turned up.
Also, I have the sound track, why am I listening to the music on the website?
On the subject of the soundtrack, I'm enjoying it greatly. I don't know if other wold like it, but I do. Then again, it's the type of music which I like, meaning, it is music without words. Basically, if you go to the marvel site and like the music there you will like the soundtrack.
There was something else I wanted to say, and I thought it was really important, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. Well, other than the review of Iron Man, but I'm procrastinating that for later.
OH YEAH! Fan fics. I'm not writing any, but I spent most of the last three days reading them. The bettter ones can be found here and here. I should join those communities. Not like it is hard. And yet, I know I won't do it. Oh well. The stories on Fanfiction.net are ok. But mostly Tony/Pepper so if you aren't into that stay away. Then again, there are only like...200 fics? which wouldn't take too long to skim through. I've already read most of the Live Journal ones so maybe I should read those.
I am honestly rather disappointed though. While I don't mind stories with Tony and Pepper in the interacting, I hate them when the author decides that Tony just has to be in love and they throw the characters of the two characters away and make them act all lovey dovey to each other. Bleh. Also, it annoys me that if a story doesn't have Tony and Pepper that it then probably has Tony and Rhodey having wild sex somewhere. Why is it that I can't find fics where the characters are themselves? Why do they have to be in love with each other? Actually, the Tony and Rhodey ones tend to be better, less of the horribly out of character conversations. None of this love stuff.
I should go through the stories and create a new post linking to the stories I liked.
Also, there are some weird stories out there. But nothing tops what I have heard about Iron Man comic book canon. His suit comes alive and fall in love with him. Really? And then sacrifices itself and is now Tony's heart? Really? I find myself unsure as to whether or not I should believe that. But if it is true....awesome. I want to read the comic now. That's almost more messed up than anything I could have think of.
It does explain somewhat the pairing of Jarvis and Tony.
