'The problem with livejournal:
We all think that we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other.
So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me.
Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.
Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!'

Yay, I'm happy I could make you laugh! It was just a bit of silliness, hee. The expressions here are hilarious... ^_^

It says that we are wondrous creatures who have no problem with the innocent gazing of women and their nearly naked bits. Even if said nearly naked bits are extremely close to each other, in very sultry and suggestive scenarios. Where people see porn, we see art. Where people see lesbianism, we see 'Ooooh, the possibilities'! LOL ( ... )

borg_princess May 29 2009, 03:16:45 UTC

*gigglesnorts* I do so love you and your way of phrasing things. [Even if 'innocent' doesn't really belong in a sentence describing the two of us...] So really, we're just open-minded and sophisticated? Where common people go for the crude, lewd interpretation of a situation, we appreciate true beauty without such small-minded restrictions? ^_^ I can work with that.

Your entries should come with a warning *has dial-up* but it was worth the funnies! LOL Xena, FTW!

Firstly, me sowwy. I...I start capping and I can't stop. And then I am seized with the compulsion to SHARE WITH THE WORLD, bandwidth be damned. You can assume that any picspams I do are going to be massive. [So massive they typically take two posts due to LJ's irritating 'post too large' thing, gah]

Secondly, mwahaha! I hadn't realized how much love people still had for Xena! Such an old show and yet there's still a place for her in discussions today.

Do you d/l? I go to my public library to d/l episodes of shows like MerlinMentalist and CM because they're just too ( ... )

In a nutshell, yup, that's us! And remember, it's always good to SEEM innocent, so the unsuspecting fools never see us coming. Most of my teachers (in Junior High, especially) thought I was this angelic child, and when one of my friends bothered me, they'd come to my defense, saying, "Leave her alone! Why are you bothering this little angel?" After which one of my friends faked to choke on air and said, "ANI!? AN ANGEL!? Ma'am, are you NUTS!?" XD Fun times ( ... )

So we both had teachers wrapped around our little fingers! *high fives ( ... )

You didn't know Karl Urban was on Xena?! *guh* That's how I knew who he was in LOTR. He also played Cupid, if I'm not mistaken (which meant he went shirtless in every scene). Caesar is what I knew him for best though, because Xena/Caesar were pretty awesome. Almost made me question my love for Xena/Ares.

I don't watch Merlin, but I was surprised when I saw a picture of Guinevere. I don't have any problem with the change, it was just a bit shocking since the character has typically been depicted as a very pale, blue-eyed woman of some significance in society (as opposed to a maidservant).

Ah, Roswell. If only my memories of you weren't tainted by Tess and the last season! I did always love the intro credits though...and the song still makes me picture Max pointing towards the sky :p

borg_princess May 29 2009, 03:44:02 UTC

O. M. G. I'm the worst fan ever. I didn't even realize that he was Cupid, but now that you mention it, YES. This calls for another picspam- Karl and his silly little wings? Hee! [Because the idea of his bare chest doesn't interest me AT. ALL. *cough* Nope...]

Ooh, Xena/Caesar? Is sick and twisted and damn, I've gotta stop being suck a sucker for these kinds of ships. *lalalas* I'm not going there...Oh, hello, Xena/Ares shipper! Tell me, do we ever find out for sure that he's her father? Because I love them and it kills me that there could be incest happening. I know it's rife in Grecian mythology but me no likey.

it was just a bit shocking since the character has typically been depicted as a very pale, blue-eyed woman of some significance in society (as opposed to a maidservant).YES. See, that's what struck me as well! Not 'omg, they're so racist, how dare they show a black woman in a subservient role' but 'heyyy, man, look at how they are screwing with the legend big-time!' Maybe it's different if you grow up in certain parts of ( ... )

scifi_tv_addict May 29 2009, 06:03:55 UTC

As far as I know, he wasn't her father - it was just a way for her to get out of the Furies thing, no? I stopped watching before the last season so I suppose they could have revealed something...but Xena/Ares had too many sexual situations (and he had an affair with her daughter) to make them ultimately related. That would just be....icky. So I would say a solid 'no' on that front ( ... )

borg_princess June 4 2009, 02:13:54 UTC

'kk, I'm gonna get behind this theory, then, because otherwise it's gross. He hooks up with Eve/Livia? ARES. *shakes head ( ... )

Hey that's not just ANY Lesbian Porn you were lookin' at. It was HOT TLW Lesbian PORN! *iz proud* LOL

borg_princess May 29 2009, 03:45:56 UTC

Hee, infinitely superior hot lesbian porn. *g*
Btw, you'll understand if I ask where there's more where that came from? Probably not, since I'd've come across it by now, but I have to ask...

sunkrux May 29 2009, 03:53:35 UTC

I do not believe there is. You might check the actor threads at the TLWfanforum. If there are more, they might be there. :D

sunshinesky May 28 2009, 09:12:07 UTC

I totally agree with you on the Merlin thing. I don't see how anyone who actually watches the show could look at Gwen and just see a "black woman in a subservient position." And that's why it's NOT racist, because that's not ALL she is. She's a vital element of the show who is loved by and loves the other characters. And I freaking love her, I just wouldn't have her any other way. IMO they cast the perfect actress for a character that I adore, but I guess people will find fault in anything.

And I totally agree that there needs to be MORE black women on tv to play a whole range of parts. But of course the sad truth is, tv could use more women of any minority race/ethnicity in prominent roles as well.

Also, you've just reminded me how much I LOVED Roswell.

borg_princess May 29 2009, 03:56:35 UTC

That's the thing, though, HAVE they watched the show or are they judging it solely on casting? I know it's cliche, but don't judge a book by its cover!

And that's why it's NOT racist, because that's not ALL she is.

YES. She has such rich characterization in the show, it definitely would be lacking without her because she plays such an important role in so many different relationships and influences major decisions by main characters and affects outcomes and- goddamnit, saying she's just a token black character or that she's just reinforcing the stereotype of 'inferior black maid' is unbelievably misguided and wrong, imo.

IMO they cast the perfect actress for a character that I adore, but I guess people will find fault in anything.

ITA, I believe Angel was the best person for the role- and she got it. That's got nothing to do with racism, isn't that EQUALITY, FFS?

tv could use more women of any minority race/ethnicity in prominent roles as well. Lol. True dat. Where is my Indian role model, damn it? :P 'tis funny, I hadn't ( ... )

sunshinesky May 30 2009, 09:32:30 UTC

Where is my Indian role model, damn it? :P
Haha! I was gonna say that I'm still waiting for my Mexican role model but then I remembered that there was Jessica Alba in Dark Angel, and Edward James Olmos in BSG... but considering the high proportion of hispanics in the US and in particular California where many things are filmed, I'm always displeased to see how few of us are represented (and aren't cliches).

'tis funny, I hadn't realized til now that until Gwen, all the characters I fangirled are white.

Wow, I just realized just how few non white characters I fangirl as well, and I think Gwen is the only female. thinking back on it, all of my role models as a child were white as well. I'm glad more diversity is being injected into tv and movies now so that kids who aren't white can have someone to look up to that maybe looks like them, but obviously there's still a bit further to go if controversies like these over Gwen's skin color are popping up.

borg_princess June 2 2009, 01:38:55 UTC

Yeah, LUCKY. All I got so far is...Tory Foster. Who I wanted to airlock SO BADLY, so she doesn't count. Argh.

Okay, Mentalist, which is my new favorite show- focuses on a team at the California Bureau of Investigation. And all five main characters are white. Thinking back on their cases, there's hardly any black characters involved at all there either, really. Huh.

It's a shame that there was that controversy- might make writers LESS inclined to include black characters if they're gonna be savaged for such a wonderful portrayal of a respected, likable black woman. *eyeroll*
