Wookiee Jesus will decide my future.
1. I swear I'm not avoiding you, fandom! I'm actually doing a LOT of fandom right now. It's just that I'm... doing it all on Tumblr. I know. I'm sorry. If you want a visual representation of my brain, updated several times daily, hit up Moscarific.
2. I am on Tumblr because that's where Teen Wolf fandom is, to a large extent. The (readable) fanfic is on LJDW and AO3, but the conversation, the picspam, and the gif walls (UGH THE GIF WALLS GET OFF MY LAWN) are on Tumblr. I feel like I am the oldest person in this fandom. But it keeps introducing more attractive werewolves and interesting stories and snark and... Stiles.
2a. it fills my head up and gets louder by
concave is the best fic I've read in the fandom. It's Jackson/Stiles and has been completely jossed by s2. Don't let either of those things stop you.
3. I have three favorite new summer shows, all very different:
Longmire had the best pilot I've seen in a long time; it's a modern-day Western and also a procedural, and it features Katee Sackhoff and Lou Diamond Phillips being awesome. RIYL Breaking Bad, The Mentalist, and/or well-written character-driven drama.
Bunheads is Amy Sherman Palladino's new thing, which means everyone talks like the Gilmore Girls. It's on ABC Family, so it includes a quartet of plucky teenage ballerinas, but the real stars are two Broadway veterans, Sutton Foster and Kelly Bishop, who trade bons mots like it's a revival of Mame. RIY miss Gilmore Girls, wish Smash were better, and/or wore through your cassette tape of the original cast recording of A Chorus Line.
Around the World in 80 Plates is the most creative reality show that Bravo has come up with in ages. It's the ur-reality competition show: a bunch of chefs race around the world (like The Amazing Race), competing to make the best meals (like Top Chef) while working as a team (like Hell's Kitchen), and have to vote out the weakest team member at the end (like Survivor). Meanwhile, all the contestants are simultaneously insufferable human beings (like the Real Housewives) and quirkily, compellingly talented (like Project Runway). RIYL any of the above.
4. As soon as SYTYCD finishes the audition rounds and becomes a real thing, I will have a lot of feelings. But this once a week business is reducing the intensity of my feelings. Dear FOX, bite me.
