Some haiku to get us going... workerbee73 January 16 2012, 15:10:49 UTC

A tag, a ring
Ashes for the rest.
Don’t care - this is all that matters.

I'm laughing too damn hard to formulate a coherent response right now. Le tme just say that this was one helluva a way to kick off essay day.

**RAISES GLASS**

Oh-- don't forget to make a wish!

Re: tl;dr -- A Kara/Lee Smut Discourse. aka Prepared Nora Prepared! wicked_sassy January 16 2012, 16:06:07 UTC

Would you like me to make you an extra-sexy music mix as your wish fulfillment for the essay? Just for you, writerboo.

Why Pilots Are My OTP aka Why Nicole Falls In Love With Made Up Characters Instead of Real People word_vomity January 16 2012, 15:21:50 UTC

Disclaimer: This is all Bee's doing. Anything stupid I say herein is her fault alone. Any flashes of brilliance, however, are all me. Any views expressed that read like the ramblings of a lunatic . . . are probably accurate reflections of my actual character. I reserve the right to completely contradict myself at any given moment as I'm only ever around 50% certain of anything I ever say ( ... )

Part 2 word_vomity January 16 2012, 15:22:29 UTC

Which is why, even though it hurts to watch, I love that pilots fight for/with/against one another. It's proof that their feelings run deeply. Even when the world doesn't notice, understand, or care; how the rest of the world views their relationship is irrelevant to the fact that they are very much connected to one another. More-so than many of the married couples around them. That strikes me particularly hard because I very much despise the idea that for a relationship to be sanctioned as legitimate by those around it, it must be cemented by marriage. Eww! It just rubs me wrong. Love should exist where it exists regardless of its social status. I hate the belief that spouses are more than fiances who are more than boyfriends/girlfriends, etc. It's insulting. And as someone who's never much felt that drive towards marriage that everyone else seems to feel, this resonates for me. Pilots don't need all that external junk to love each other. Hell, half the time they don't even need words. They are so in synch that looks and touches ( ... )

Re: Part 2 workerbee73 January 16 2012, 15:42:29 UTC

Do they call to me as a fellow member of their misanthropic, damaged tribe? Totes. Should this worry me? Probably.

**cracks up and nods**

when they eventually both stop pushing for even a moment, we get the most glorious glimpses into how beautiful they can be with one another and it sends away all the pain ever. And maybe who needs a lifetime of alright when you can have moments of bliss like that?

YES. SO MUCH YES TO THIS.

Re: Part 2 word_vomity January 16 2012, 20:05:07 UTC

Thanks girl! Now I forgive you for forcing (yes, physically FORCING) me to do it. ;P

(even though, as an employee of a diversity office, today IS the busiest day of the year)

Now about this wish...

Let me chug this Red Bull and brainstorm a bit. I shall return.

I'm very sorry to say that I didn't manage to finish in time. I hope to be able to finish my project in the next 24 hours. I hope that this is an acceptable compromise. If i don't manage to finish, I'll come back and leave a comment instead of my essay.

workerbee73 January 16 2012, 15:31:16 UTC

No worries!

It's entirely up to you. If you want to wait and finish and post later, that's fine, but feel free to bring what you have as well. Either way, I hope you'll come and play in the comments! :D

anamarya January 16 2012, 15:50:09 UTC

That I'll do for sure as soon as I get home. I'm sort of affraid that not all the content is appropriate to be read in the office at the university.

workerbee73 January 16 2012, 15:51:59 UTC

I completely understand. No worries whatsoever. : )
