OMG, you guys! I rant a lot in this journal, you know that, and some time ago I ranted about alcohol being used as a most common comic relief, particularly when it comes to traditionally repressed characters. Well, what do you know, I've just read a story that has a very drunk Spock, like, 70% of the time, and I absolutely loved it. There are very ( Read more... )

A friend sent me this today, and since I'm normally not big on vids (I watch, don't save), I haven't seen this one till now. I'm not a huge fan of Spock Prime, but this vid is crazy amazing.

Original score by Alexander Borodin (The Polovtsian Dances), the singer is Natasha Morozova. I don't know anything about her, except that she seems to have an amazing voice. The piece is one of the all-time favorites of mine. Heard it today adopted by some figure skaters (the Europeans have started, yay!), and felt nostalgic. Thought I'd share. :)

Greetings to all those speaking Vulcan. *makes a ta'al* The immensely talented, super awesome, multi-lingual alinealghost has created what I'm pretty sure is the original version of the poem Kirk recites in How Far Is Near. Make sure you appreciate the art, friends mine. ;)

I am completely thrown and thrilled and humbled by an unexpected gift I received today from slwatson, who is clearly someone I don't deserve, and who contacted a wonderful artist makowe_pola. She created one of my favorite art pieces. Well, now two of them. :D

( Pretty or what? :D )

I ship Merlin/Gwaine now. I ship it hard. 3d season has been so disappointing so far that I kind of thought of giving up on Merlin all together. But then Gwaine arrived and saved the day. :D

You guys are great, your music suggestions helped me a lot and they actually helped me to come up with a 'winner' which (don't kill me) isn't about a captain or Jim, but which I think would fit, and it's all your doing. :D

In thanks, I want to share a piece of classical music for orchestra. It's by a Soviet composer Isaac Dunaevski, and it's an ( Read more... )

You know what bugs me most about Mirrorverse the way it is portrayed in most fics? It’s shallow. People use it as an outlet for every bit of sexual deviancy that can’t be quite pictured in the ‘normal’-verse. I’m serious, look at the load of Mirrorverse fics in this fandom. No matter what characters or pairing is under the spotlight, they all look ( Read more... )

You guys. If you're not reading the Riotverse series by jane_potter , you're missing out on something BIG. I have no words to describe this verse, except that I can't remember the last time a fic has left me wobbly-legged literally and groping for breath. I'm not exaggerating here, I swear. When I read stuff like that, I ask myself WTF I'm still doing in this ( Read more... )
