HELLO

Jun 22, 2014 15:21

This keeps happening--I'll start a "what's going on" post, and then things will keep going on, and I'll get so behind on What All Is Going On that I never post. ALLOW ME TO ATTEMPT.

(Note: This was written on Friday but not posted. Because of course.)

1) The Black Ribbon story I kept talking about, "The World to Come," is now available! It's in ( Read more... )

a matter of taste, anglo-filles, penny dreadful, hannibal, tribulations, black ribbon, dracula, podcasts, numbered thoughts are organized thoughts

Yay, you're alive! (Broken everything and Sunday sore throat update - not so yay. But still. Nice to "see" you again. You have my well-wishes, as always.)

A question: is there a Margot colour in the plans? If not this season, then at least the next, maybe? (Or there won't be a collection 2.0 (3.0?) for the next season?)

You know, we thought about one, but her storyline was so controversial (as in, really, really upsetting a lot of people, based on what I saw in comments here and on Tumblr) that we just felt like it was not a good idea to try that just now. Maybe that's over-cautious, I don't know--if so, I'll take the blame, because it was really largely my concern that it would not go over well. I think we very likely could pick back up with season 3, and I know the Vergers will be back, so we might see then. Get a little distance from it, see what's going on with her in the next storyline, see how people feel about it ( ... )

I understand. And I don't blame you for being wary of a possible wankstorm (even though it would be unreasonable of people to attack you or Kristen, as if you came up with her storyline). Oh well. Let's see what future might bring.

(Maybe next year she'll even get her canon girlfriend. Would be nice.)

Speaking of canon girlfriends, I know Real-Life Freddie asked Bryan if Show Freddie could have a Wendy, and he said yes. And when he posted a picture of the Kill Wall a couple of weeks ago, showing all the characters and whether they were still alive or not, I noticed that the prosecutor's full name from episode three was Wendy Vega.

It's been a while since Chez Cleo had a rash of major malfunctions. Whoever/whatever keeps score of these things must have thought you were due. But they can get lost for themselves. Hope things even out and get easier for all of you.

You're caught up on Penny Dreadful? I am not. I'm only after finishing episode 2 and what the hell was that ending?? I liked Proteus!! Poor thing.

cleolinda June 22 2014, 22:14:07 UTC

Yeah, they did a really good job of making you think he'd be around for the long haul, except totally not. I keep waiting for Brona to get dragged into that storyline in some hideous way (you'll see what I mean).

I lost all sympathy for Caraban after it happened. I almost screamed out loud "F*&k you! Now who's going to tell the team about the true depths of the forces of evil?!" at my iPad m

Poor Proteus!

BabyMetal. A mix of J-pop and metal. It works surprisingly well.

Is there some sort of ritual sacrifice supply store near by? 'Cause I think you need to do a serious ritual here. And since you have to re-sod the lawn anyway...

Joking aside, you've had one crappy month or so. I hope all of it is on it's way out.

[back to joking] I'm a little concerned some poor schmuck will knock on your door (just minutes after you mutter, "If just one more thing goes 'kaput', I'm gonna hit someone") to inform you that he hit your trash can and you'll just 'CLEO-CHOP' him right in the head. ^_^

I'm in sad awe of your ability to accumulate minor and major disasters. :( I'm also in the early bedtime club (it's 7:30, can i go to bed now?) but that's because I'm working at a summer camp and there simply aren't enough hours in the night for sleep. The kids are pretty good, just exhausting. The guy at whole foods was giving me a hard time about yawning my face off at 11 am and then I came home and slept for another 3 hours. My own house of bark does not like the early bedtime.
