☆☆☆
☆ One. More. Day. I can hold out one more day, I swear. And then, FREEEEEEE. For a week. And a bit. Will I be able to survive tomorrow?! (I'd better)
☆ No Reading Wednesday this week because I haven't been reading. ... Well, not published stuff, anyway. Um. I've been reading fanfiction on my commute instead. The bus wifi doesn't work so well, but if I load up the page before I leave home, I'm good. So, I've been catching up on some things. There are a lot of things I've been meaning to get around to reading, but when I'm at home I'm usually not in the mood, even if it's by a writer that I like. So: commute. Why not.
☆ Decided to... start poking at French. Like, definitely, now. So, I've added it to Duolingo, and I've dragged my dictionary and verbbook up from the basement, and I know I have a workbook around somewhere.... That's probably how I actually should do it, come to think, because I work well with pen and paper, so maybe I should get a cheapass scribbler or something to do it in (or do I have one already? Perhaps). Still haven't decided how to balance it with Norwegian, though. Trying to do both will be... uh... interesting. Hmm.
☆ Today's SSSS page got me flailing, but not for the same reasons that it got other people flailing.
Sigrun referred to Emil as "my buddy" and it's more than my little shipper heart can handle, apparently, because it sent my brain into a tizzy. ... To be fair, I've been working on two different Sigrun/Emil fics lately (well, fine, they're Emil -> Sigrun but whatever) so I was kind of in the mindset already, but... Guh.
(It's also not the first time she's called him that. Case in point. Which just makes the fact that it's repeated better, somehow.)
[/drags a hand down his face] It's ridiculous that something so small can make me so happy. Even if, when you get right down to it, it's just Sigrun being... herself. That's how she is. It just is what it is. (But that's what I like about it!)
I guess it's just a matter of - for those two, that kind of thing is exactly what I want to see from canon, and nothing beyond that. I like that comrades thing, that whole battle-partners thing, that whole growing closer as they fight side by side thing... I want fistbumps and backslaps and hair-ruffling. And maybe a hug, sure, I could be down with that. But yeah, overall - the comic gives me exactly what I want for their relations. So, it's nice.
Like - this definitely isn't the kind of pairing that I would want to see become canon. Mind you, there are very few pairings I have that are like that (and one of the few is Emil/Lalli, and I'm so glad that it seems that they have a higher-than-zero chance of something happening, regardless of whether or not it ever will). But even though I ship Sigrun/Emil really hard, I wouldn't want to see an actual relationship between them in the comic. What we have is great. (Well, sure, I want them to get closer over time, but I don't want them to be closer in that way, oy)
...Anyway. I have two fics actively on the go; one where he hints at feelings and is (gently) rejected, and another where he keeps it to himself and the emphasis is more on... hm. Developing affection/loyalty. And then there's stuff in the planning stages, one where they're getting ready to return to the Known World and he kind of approaches her about it, and she's actually very fond of him too, but tells him something he already knows - that it isn't the right time for this. (So, not a rejection, more like just a "not yet".) AND THEN... I told Folie ages ago that I'd write something sort of like the NSFW Sigrun/Emil fic that she wrote, but I still don't have the first idea how to approach it. But I'd like to figure it out, eventually, somehow.
[eta] I was paging through the comic, trying to find a good image of them (whyyy are all the best panels of them, and of Emil in general really, too dialogue-heavy to use for icons, argh) when I came across this page and I just... [/WHEEZE] Oh, Emil. Oh, Sigrun. OH, EMIL. Oh, these two.
