teens and wolves
MY INTERNET IS FIXED, OMG MY INTERNET IS FIXED, IT IS ACTUALLY WORKING AT THE SPEED IT'S MEANT TO WORK AT, I CAN NOW DLD EPISODES OF THE DAILY SHOW IN LESS THAN FOUR HOURS :')
This calls for baby goats.
So um, let's see, on Saturday I went to the greatest picnic and/or fan meet in the world, as organised by lazy_daze. Fangirls + quiche = excellent. We spent like nine hours in Regents Park, I think? Being stalked by a heron and being hug-propositioned by gay men and playing vaguely incompetent but nevertheless hilarious charades. And drinking rather a lot, oh my yes. Also playing consequences which I foolishly volunteered to take home and type up so I'LL GET TO THAT AT SOME POINT TODAY.

Back on Monday/Tuesday theoret came over and we saw CAPTAIN AMERICA, which was adorable and surprisingly not awfully US centric for a film about a guy decked out in the American flag. It remembered there were nationalities in the war other than the USA and Germany! Also Peggy was a freaking goddess who I now perplexedly ship with John Watson in a 'they could shoot people with great accuracy together' kind of way (whilst Sherlock and Cap stare awkwardly across the table at each other?) I NOW LOVE AND ADORE CHRIS EVANS, BASICALLY. His widdle face. His massive body. D'aww.
(Though somehow watching the film reminded me of how very very very very much I love Tony Stark even more than I love Cap. Possibly because Howard was there being friendlier to Cap than he ever was to his son &tonystark;)
Also we watched TEEN WOLF (I would add sparkles to that text were I not so lazy) which, no no wait don't run away in horror, it is actually the most delightful show about teens and wolves I have ever seen. and I have seen many. It is legit pretty awesome! The characters are all, yknow, actually three dimensional, INCLUDING GASP GASP THE WOMEN. It manages to turn high school stereotypes on its head like Glee can only dream of doing. (The ~popular bitch~ character is also like the smartest person in the school, which is established by her casually working out some hardcore equation whilst simultaneously sniping at Scott, our teen wolf boy. The jock has legitimate concerns rather than just being randomly aggressive. The jock's gay BFF is just quietly exasperated by all the nonsense going on around him. I COULD GO ON.)
And also HEY SPN PEOPLE ON MY FLIST THIS IS SO RELEVANT TO YOUR INTERESTS: there are werewolves. As in, there is an ALPHA WOLF. And Scott and the sinister-yet-potentially-woobieish Derek are BETA WOLVES. Fnerr fnerr. And the porn potential aside, Scott's girlfriend is the daughter of a HUNTER - who has clearly taken wardrobe tips from Sam and Dean and who describes his job as ~*the family business*~ - and there is some legitimately intriguing mythology going on. And a billion potential ships, including slash, het, femmeslash, rivals slash, bff slash, orgies, ot3s. I am basically shipping everyone with everyone right now.
And the guys frequently take their shirts off, I am just saying.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE WATCH THIS SHOW, the first season is only 12/13 episodes long.
