(no subject)
In the past few days I've watched Donnie Darko, La Femme Nikita, Kids In America, and an episode of The Book of Virtues. Donnie Darko was fucking awesome. I immediately started shipping Donnie/Frank, because I'm a creepy little freak and I can't resist crack ships at all for some reason. Then the timey-wimey stuff happened and Donnie started being duper-awesome and destroying shit, and it was funny and creepy and awesome. Yes. La Femme Nikita was kind of disappointing. I was expecting something super awesome, what with the cool French title, although, that's not really impressive what with it being a French film and all. Right, anyway, it was really slow paced and the characters where sort of boring, especially Nikita who was completely inexplicably for way too long, and whose characterization I felt was really shitty and badly done. Whatever, though. Kids In America had iffy pacing and ignored every legality in the entire universe. And the principal was such a badly done caricature. And apparently it was set in a universe driven entirely by dramatic tension. Blah blah blah blah blah etc., I didn't enjoy it and I'm now trying (and failing) to justify it. The Book of Virtues was awesome, and I loved it. That's all there is to say on the matter.
This is how my media binges always go. I find something awesome, then everything I find is shit until I finally get something good and decide to quit while I'm ahead.
On the upside, I saw an amazingly beautiful sunset at the same time as a giant, glowing, nearly full moon. It was absolutely glorious.
I have now officially started a series. Sort of. Unoficially. More of a chaptered fic. Slash loose association of shorts. Um. That short fic I wrote before gets a followup now. And is crossposted to the AO3. Oh god what have I done.

Summary: Hopy shit, it's a guy!
You get sort of giddy when you first spot him. You've never seen any humans here, and you almost never see any adults, either, so it's doubly exciting! The guy is really tall, and looks pretty sharp, like maybe he could be part of the spires in the city, except where it shines yellow in the noonday sun (or whatever it really is in this place, you think.) He’s shadows and smooth looking paper-white skin, even where the light should reflect back and make him look sallow, although you guess the laws of physics in this place are pretty bendy.
Suddenly you realize that the man standing in front of you is the one who sent the dream-clouds. Of course; who else? You had thought that his eyes were just two faraway stars in distant, infinite galaxies. His lips stretch up at the corners - oh! - hes smiling down at you.
You feel like you've known him your whole life. There's nothing he doesn't know about you, you've met so many times, talked about so many things.
Aaaaagh! You fell out of the bed, dumpass! This is why it's so much easier when you just fall asleep on the ground. Geez, that really hurt.
You can't get back to sleep, so you go water your pumpkins in the greenhouse, and browse around on the web for a while.
You wander down into a room on the lower floor without really paying attention, and to your surprise, your grandpa has a guest. He seems pretty young and gothy for one of your gradpa's set, but whatever. He looks sad and kind of creepy, and his face is older than you thought it was at first. He says hello, Jade, it's nice to see you again, and you blink. You've never met him before, so... actually, he seems sort of familiar. Maybe you have?
You're on the verge of remembering, really, you swear you're about to, and then you're back on the moon. Huh. Where'd that guy go? He must have gotten bored. Oh well. Maybe you'll see him again. That would be so cool!
