Slashy Nominations 45: They Win That Laugh

[thefourthvine]

I've been wallowing in pathos recently as the result of an ill-advised attempt to watch certain classic movies. Do not trust film classics, people: they will betray you and leave you in dire need of SSRIs. And chocolate.

Fortunately, FF can be trusted. Well, some of it, anyway. The funny stuff, basically. And now I'm passing the humor on to

I'm entertaining a scary theory here, MMWD. That theory is: we are actually the same person.

No, stay with me here.

I'm also in the scary PMS stage where my breasts hurt when I walk and I'm insanely emotional.

I also desperately needed this recs set.

And I also firmly, emphatically believe that wombats make everything better, to the extent that I can produce sworn testimony from my Best Beloved that I've been lobbying desperately for a pet wombat (to no avail, of course; even in Australia, you can only have them if they're rescues and you're planning to return them to the wild, and we aren't in Australia) for years.

Do you also like red pandas? Because if you do, I think we should conduct some searching interviews with our parents.

So maybe we're sisters. 'Cause:

PMS on 5/23/2004 causing general weeping, soreness, and sharpness of tooth: yes

Fondness for:
Platypuses: yes, a thousand times yes
Tortoises: yes
Monkeys: no. Spawn of the damned. Evil. Eeeeeevil.
Sharks: yes

Likely to vote for anyone promising a wombat on every roof: yes

Read The Illiad: yes
Have not seen Troy: yes
Because are afraid of Troy: yes. In fact, it's to the point where Best Beloved and I almost saw it on Friday, because I really felt like I should, given my whole FF thing, but chickened out just before buying the tickets because we overheard three Orlando fangirls walking into the theater.
(Fangirl A: I heard he dies.
Fangirl B: I don't care! I just want to look at him!
Fangirl C: Ohmigod I love Orlando!
[all three squeal in unison]
Fangirl B: Ohmigod, me too, but I wish he wasn't wearing a dress.
[all three sigh in unison]
Fangirl A: Maybe he'll live! Then there can be a sequel!
Best Beloved: We could just go home.
Me: Yes. God, yes[We flee the movieplex

Many of the stories are nominated in categories where they are, indeed, the only story that fit there. Makes it easier, see, because I never have to worry about having to look at two stories I love and decide which is better.

Hence, lots of inane categories, very few repeats. None, actually, to date. But I only nominate what I love, and your iconfic was amazing; it actually told a coherent story in LJ icons. And it featured a wombat, which, let's face it, is what ever story needs. (Everything is better with wombats.) And the whole wombat-exchange was frighteningly in character.

But you can't say "they really like me!" You can only say "she really likes me!" Although I understand makesmewannadie also really likes you, so...hey, guess what? You can say "they really like me" after all! You're liked!

Pour moi???
