OH HELLO PANIC ATTACK ABOUT THE MAYORAL ELECTION AND ALSO FRENCH HOMEWORK PLEASE GO AWAY NOW YOU ARE NOT HELPFUL.
Meme, while I calm myself down: Comment and I will pick a bunch of your lj/dw interests for you to explain/talk about!
feverbeats gave me
Crazy Former Superheroes:
This was from when Jason was omg!evil and Cass was omg!evil at the same time! THEY ARE MY FAVOURITES OKAY. I mean on the one hand evil!Cass was incredibly fucking stupid character assassination but on the other hand theoretically it meant we could have the scariest/most beautiful Batgirl and Robin team ever. Of course this never really happened and even the interesting moral questions of Red Hood were mostly abandoned after the first story he was in, so. DC, FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THINGS MORE.
Also, if you are into crazy former superheroes in generally I recommend Welcome To Tranquility, which is set in a whole town full of them.
Cunning Use Of Threesomes:
My friends and I had a running joke about Problem-Solving Through Cunning Use Of Threesomes! Which is what happens when you're reading/watching something with a love triangle and you're like, man this could be resolved so easily if you just all had sex right now. (Which if you're me is most of the time.) The trope-namer, as it were, is Once And Future King, because OT3 of my heeeeeart, but it comes up a lot!
Fictional Musicians:
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT FICTIONAL MUSICIANS BUT I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Like that is a common thread to nearly all of my favourite movies, they have a made-up band in them somewhere. I feel sort of weird being fannish over actual bands (I'm not sure why, because I don't have an RPF squick or anything) but fictional bands where they are all actually clearly characters, I am all over that.
House/Amber/Wilson:
Okay so I don't know how far you got in House but Amber is the fucking best. She is one of the potential new fellows in season... four, I think?
And she is... House. Only a hot blonde woman. Like, the show itself acknowledges that she is girl!House.
And she's dating Wilson.
I THINK YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING.
Anyway, the show had just gotten to the part where they were bantering hilariously and sharing custody of Wilson when the writer's strike hit and the entire rest of the season had to be incredibly condensed. At the end of the season.... Amber died. I still haven't really forgiven them for that one.
Sparkly Androids:
God, is that still in there? I once tried to do NaNoWriMo, back when I thought I could write (I was wrong). The story was supposed to be a Blade Runner type thing about fighting androids but (much like the real Blade Runner) I ended up caring way more about the androids than the protagonists and I kept writing them hilarious banter and stuff. I should point out that this was before "sparkly" had anything to do with vampires and was at that point my favourite all-purpose positive adjective.
Sploreangeade:
Okay, well, it's a drink I invented once which involved mixing I think grapefruit juice, grapefruit pop, and two kinds of lemonade. Named after the colour splorange, which was something I was weirdly fixated on when I was about fourteen. (Splorange is a colour somewhere between the pink that people pretend is salmon when they don't want to be wearing pink and the colour that actual salmon is. Maybe a bit oranger than that. It is hard to explain, I mostly invented it a) to rhyme with orange and b) to confuse people.)
