i kind of blame the fact that i'm having Belgian chocolate and the best instant coffee ever (Gukeng from Taiwan - check that shit out) as my morning meal.

but i suddenly had an idea: Eames. Dr. Manhattan. having deep conversations.
i am not qualified to write this, but i know many who are. *eyes fandom intently* don't tell me this is not possible ( Read more... )

watchmen, china, smoking, writing, inception

Your mind works in very strange ways. Are you sure Eames wouldn't just get distracted by the dangling, blue penis?

Don't hit me. I kid, I kid.

I need nothing to encourage the asthma, lol, so I don't smoke.

in this verse, i choose to believe that they are beyond such worldly concerns. sex? so plebeian. now, back to quantum physics. <3

whenever I go to visit the old country, and happen to be smoking on the street (as one does) I am reminded by almost every single passing female that doing so is a total no-no and that, apparently, I am advertising. for THAT. although apparently smoking oneself to death in a poorly ventilated private living room is perfectly acceptable.

I am occasionally given to Gauloises, or cloves (Djarum Blacks, always) but IRL it's the occasional Camel Menthol.

and I don't know from Dr Manhattan, but not-so-deep conversations with The Comedian? I'd be so there for that (and not only because it would hit my fandom trifecta in all the right places).

i apologize in advance to your eardrums. hesselives December 28 2010, 03:35:21 UTC
OMG, MEMENTIS. YOU ARE, LIKE, THE THIRD PERSON I'VE MET WHO SMOKES DJARUM BLACKS. you win my love forever (well, you already have it, so...twice over!). <3

lol. guys here always stare at me in confusion, like girlz can smoke, wuuut? females, oddly enough, don't give a shit. (presumably because there's a neon sign above my head - KIDS. DO NOT WANT - so they don't have to bother with the pregnancy speech.)

Comeeediaaaan. i can only imagine him and Ozy having a whole lot of hate!sex together. in storage closets. in public bathrooms. in churches. in Walgreens. okay, everywhere, all the time.

SO THAT LEAVES EAMES AND THE DOC TO WAX PLATONICALLY OVER INTELLECTUAL TOPICS.

eh. do your worst. mementis December 28 2010, 04:53:05 UTC
<3 <3 <3 The Djarums come with a story, which I will tell you sometime because it is terribly interesting but entirely off-topic here. Well, OK. Maybe only interesting to me.

Comedian/Ozymandias is not something I have Ever Considered Before. Why, I've no idea, honestly. Hate!sex you say? Hmmm. I shall ponder.

Waxing platonic on intellectual topics I can buy. Eames could even be commiserating about Arthur to Dr Manhattan! He'd be all sighing dramatically to Doc, "But Arthur has no imagination..." [pregnant pause] "not like you."

You see what I did there, don't you?

*chinhands* do tell!

really? they were, like, all i could focus on during the movie. haha. (nice distraction from Laurie/Dan, at least.) and then later i got into Mothman/$Bill. \O/

lol, Eames would mention Arthur just in passing...like, oh yeah. him.

er, did i? i can be rather oblivious. xD

p.s. ALSO, YOUR ICON. so fitting. <3 here, have some Matthew Goode:

Urgh no gitanes please. I more or less quit (my pathology tutor made a real good job at scaring the s**t out of us), but still partial to Davidoff and cigarillos (yes, I'm an insufferable poser and currently very, very sad because I cannot afford to buy the flats+bag I had fallen for).

Hmm, sex and Eames. Sometimes I feel this guy is so meta, that a veiled conversation around sex or very subtly alluding to sex would be his idea of foreplay/partner selection criterion/kink, you name it.

Reciprocity is 100% canon.

Zaabär's white is phenomenal. Also Michel Cluizel's Grand Lait 45% and 1er Cru de Plantation, Maralumi, Chocolat au lait - 47% de cacao. The second one is my favorite because it leaves a slightly salted aftertaste (ok, it's french not belgian).

the guys in my office smoke Davidoff! a pretty nice alternative for whenever i forget to bring / run out of cloves. and don't listen to the haters - cigarillos are automatic +1 for coolness. ;)

lol. omg, you have no idea how many times in college i've foregone food for cloves. ($12 each pack...before Obama declared them illegal. D: and now i get them from a colleague's friend who works in Indonesia.)

ultra-meta. hands down. subtle allusions as kink is now my canon. i need to scour for the fandom for a deep character study of Eames. someone has written one by now, yes? (excluding the one about Eames being smart, because...yeah.)

and there's a high-end supermarket i'll be going to this weekend, so i'll definitely keep an eye out for your recs in the imported chocolate section! thank you, ze. <3
