I Can't Believe I'm Going to Have to Dedicate My Thesis to Stephanie Freaking Meyer...

I was stuck in traffic behind this car today, and their license plate holder read: "Then the lion fell in love with the lamb."

I was puzzling over this when I noticed another sticker that read: "I drive like a Cullen." And then it hit me. I was sitting behind a Twitard. I suddenly remembered that quote creeping me out when I was trying to read Meyer's book. This wouldn't mean anything except that while I was puzzling over the lion falling for the lamb business I had an epiphany. I know what my thesis proposal will be about. I'm going to write about the gender dynamics inherent in the lion/lamb, beauty/beast dichotomy all the way from the Bible's Daniel up through Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

I'm both mortified beyond belief that I owe my epiphany to a Twitard with fairy stickers all over her car and grateful to finally have a direction.

Also, I have a Harry/Draco fic rec. Due to some nostalgia kicked up by a conversation about H/D with ashe_frost in her journal, I read my first HP fic in pretty much forever. And it was so amazing that it managed to ebb away some of my lingering bitterness over that horrible epilogue.
