New Fandom & NewHeader, Journal Title/Subtitle & Icons!
Those of you who know me know that I am pretty much a professional fangirl. I either dislike a show or LOVE it to the point of obsession most of the time.
Well, I'd like to introduce you all to my newest fandom: Dead Like Me.
I watched this series in about three weeks time and I absolutely fell in love with it. The dark comedy, the tragedy, the relationships... It's an incredible show and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new show to try out.
Another thing about myself anyone who knows me knows: I am a huge shipper. I pick my couples and stay with them for the long haul, no matter what others think of them *cough*Buffy/Giles*cough*, how seemingly impossible it is that they'll ever get together or what other couples they try to distract me with. I may love several different ships with the same character but I will always have my favorite.
With Dead Like Me, that favorite is, without a doubt, Mason and Daisy.
At first glance they seem like an impossible pairing. He's the fuck-up of the group, the drunk druggie who quite rarely gets anything right. She's the gorgeous starlet who thinks quite a lot of herself and is at first glance extremely shallow and petty.
But gradually the show delves deeper and deeper into these characters and in the end we are shown that they are actually almost exactly alike. Both of them are haunted by a darkness in their souls, a darkness that they try to hide with their shiny outer personas. Daisy brightly jokes about all of the men that she's blown/slept with to disguise her anguish over having never been truly loved. Mason keeps everyone at an arm's length to try to hide how much he wants their approval and how much their snide comments and jokes at his expense really hurt him.
In the end, what we are left with are two very lonely characters who are so fucked up that they can't even turn to each other without it ending in disaster.
I love to think that somewhere in the future (not the movie... the movie is dead to me) they manage to get enough of their issues out of the way to have a happy, dysfunctional relationship.
...And I'm done.
This new addiction has brought with it the usual need to change some things around to reflect it on here... and so I bring you my new header and new icons (all by heartagram) :) Check 'em out! scars-proach
Till next time...
