Going to replace the music soon, so if you still wanted any from the last post, grab it. Other than that, not much interesting to say. But there’s a lot of it!

Um, BtVS. Hmm. I liked Tara a lot, although I’m not so fond of Willow. But they were cute together in a fuzzy lesbian sort of way, so not liking it would be like shanking puppies or something. I kinda hated Kennedy.

I think Riley was kind of a tool. I think Spike/Buffy was complicated but interesting; I never really got into the Angel/Buffy thing but I can certainly see it and respect it. I like Buffy/Faith because it’s so fucking complicated. I can actually almost get behind Xander and Buffy in a post-series way. I think Spike/Angel is cool and likable for all their history and married-couple bickering together.

I liked Jonathan, Andrew, and Warren being tools together, and even though it ends in stabbings, I like Jonathan and Andrew being geeks together. Poor Jonathan, you were my favorite.

As for LotR, I think my favorite pairing would be Eowyn/Faramir, even though I don’t consider anyone good enough for Eowyn. (Except me. No, I kid. But she’s my favorite. Stupid Aragorn, what were you thinking?)

One of the first really good LotR stories I ever read was an Eowyn/Eomer, so that sort of ruined me in a way. It’s got some good creepy possibilities, but that might just be the het incest leakover from the SKU fandom on my mind right now. So, I have to say I like this one in a weird way, but not for happy endings, exactly. But I love the Eowyn and Eomer relationship in general because it is full of protective sibling-squee and big fucking swords; same goes for Boromir and Faramir. I love imagining the hijinks chibi Eowyn could have gotten into tagging along after Eomer and Theodred.

I think most of the Legolas/Anyone pairings are a result of the movie. I can read about them, and suspend my belief for Legolas maybe doin’ the bad thing with Aragorn or Haldir or someone, but I don’t take it very seriously. I don’t look down on them or anything, I just don’t get writing ideas for them. And I fully support the Legolas/Gimli friendship and brothers in arms thing, but I really don’t want to read about them screwing. The mental image just doesn’t do anything for me at all.

I enjoy a hobbit pile on occasion, but I’d much rather read about them eating good food than about them having sex. Sam and Frodo are sweet, though.
