WHO IS THAT CUTIEBABE AND WHY IS HER CHIN WOBBLING AT ME LIKE THAT?

fluffyfrolicker March 17 2014, 13:19:43 UTC

That cutiepie is some actress whose name I don't know and I found this gif randomly on Tumblr, but I think it's from Pretty Little Liars, WHICH IS A SHOW THAT YOU SHOULD WATCH.

I've only seen half of season 1, but how often do you see a teen TV show with 4 girls as main characters who mostly deal with things other than some random boys ♥

THEY ARE ALL PRECIOUS. YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE SHOW.

SKINS FIRST!

Let's make a trade? If I watch Pretty Little Liars you should watch Hart of Dixie because I am DESPERATE for someone to yell at over the perfection that is Lemon Breeland.

SHE IS A GROWN-UP CAROLINE FORBES WITHOUT THE SUPERNATURAL SHIT WHO FINDS OUT THAT ADULTHOOD ISN'T A FAIRYTALE AND THEN HAS TO KEEP GOING AND SHE DOES AND SHE IS FEARLESS.

Everyone should be in love with Lemon Breeland. The end.

In some time in the future I will be able to have less high school feels for these babies and will write a coherent comment. For now,

I HATE YOU.

kwritten March 17 2014, 12:51:17 UTC

I love you too, bb.

Honestly I'm so grateful for the push because I'm swimming in Gia and Dick feelings after the film. (OMG GIA MY BB WHY?!) and lesbian-Madison might be my most favorite thing I've written in a while.

don't talk to me about Weevil. DON'T EVEN FUCKING LOOK AT ME RIGHT NOW

.... well...

.... that comment took a weird turn

LESBIAN MADISON, I love that paragraph. I have trouble usually with the phrase in literature making love because it almost never feels like the phrase to use and this, here

You can feel your face harden the second you get back. (You always come back.) (Most people think you never left.) (You never speak of the girl with sun-kissed skin and soft lips and dark, curling hair on a beach across an ocean or two. Or the flat you had with a five floor walk up and the way she would smile over her coffee in the morning, lazy like a sunset. Or the degree in architecture that is stuffed in a box somewhere with all her handwritten letters, because you made love like it was ancient and timeless all at once and that was reflected in her letter.) Maybe it happens before that, somewhere in flight over land and water a mask slips in place and your spine straightens.

is one of the bestest things I've ever laid my eyes on.

yes, I agree - the phrasing 'making love' has always made me a little hesitant. but for Madison and her Spanish lover (oh she's totally in Spain btw and her favorite author is Hemingway and she went on holiday on a whim and it wasn't at all like her novels and she grew disillusioned for a while and then there was a pair of short, stocky bare legs in a cafe and then...) it worked.

So glad you liked lesbian-Madison! she's kind of adorable.

Thanks!

Gia and Dick are my babies. The 'verse doesn't give nearly enough space for the families of the baddies.

hehe - I've never before this moment had soft feelings for Madison and now I'm all a tangle of complex emotions.

THE PAIN. THE PAIN. I WANT IT TO STOP BUT I WANT IT AGAIN.

This is wonderful. Welcome to Neptune indeed.

kwritten March 18 2014, 05:08:50 UTC

The pain is never-ending.

WHAT RIGHT HAS THIS TO BE SO BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTBREAKING. I didn't realize the names were in the summaries, but of course I figured out all of them, because they're so gorgeously characterized. I THINK GIA BROKE MY HEART THE MOST? Like:

Sometimes you smile at children in the supermarket and you hope his smile isn't lingering on your face.

Oh, ouch. And Dick just stewing in his stereotype, MAKING JOKES ABOUT HIS DEPRESSION BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE WANTS FROM HIM, A STAND-UP ACT.

And Madison in love with a beautiful girl across oceans. Just.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS, THOUGH. The general sections about Neptune and how thoroughly Neptune destroys all its children and then they grow into broken adults like Celeste Kane and Lianne Mars and Jake Kane and Lynn Echolls and Richard Casablancas and then they pass their sins onto their children and no one is ever really free. Like this was breathtaking, really, I don't think I'll ever really be over it. THESE KIDS

I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU LIKED IT. I AM TICKLED PINK.

but of course I figured out all of them, because they're so gorgeously characterized
#SOBS

I have never before had so many Gia feelings, but I find myself stanning the hell out of her existence.

MAKING JOKES ABOUT HIS DEPRESSION BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE WANTS FROM HIM, A STAND-UP ACT.
MY HEART BLEEDS. WHAT IS THIS CHILD? WHY DOES HE ACT THIS WAY?

AND ISN'T IT JUST SO VERONICA THAT SHE NEVER SEES THROUGH IT?!

((psst!!! Doris promised to write me the story of Madison and her lover in Spain so... you know... help me bully her into making that a reality.))

I am shipping Neptune/souleaters atm. And want to write all the gen fic about growing up in a warzone.

*g*

thanks for the lovely comment, bb
