this is how we win

from ever_neutral , who knows I am powerless to resist the r-word
1. Comment with any ship from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about.
2. I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on what it is.
3. Put this on your LJ, if you are so inclined.

and also

vaw, international, feminism, sexual assault

I love it when you do linkspams. I feel so much smarter afterwords.

And George Takei is the bomb (Are we now saying that in an ironic retro way?).

haha. I think it applies to the Takei.

a rant, you say? Bennett/Echo!

BENNETT/ECHO. YOU GET FLAIL.

I adore Bennett/Echo. They somehow managed to be potentially good for each other and doomed. And it all gets flipped around so many times even in such a short space of time. "Are you hurt that I used you?"/"I'm hurt that you won't." Bennett was so messed up and so capable of surprising us even way before it all went down. She just commits to it so thoroughly, you know? And so did Caroline in her Caroline way, covering for Bennett to the point that she didn't even compromise Bennett's career.

It's this weird place where Bennett blames Caroline for who she is, you know? It wasn't so much abut the arm as that she's still alone in Rossum's basement, letting her sanity slip away.

Which is so fucking dark. It's one of those DH relationships that's not built in anything we'd recognize as real, but it still is.

George Takei is fantastic.

Hahahaha, I am tempted to give you Roslin/Adama just to see the ensuing rage, but for all our sakes, let's go with Barney/Robin.

LOLOL I actually haven't seen the seasons where they were together, or most of the most recent season. I approve of BRoTP on principle but I don't actually know enough to flail or rant.

SO YOU GET FIVE CONFESSIONS OF AN EX-R/A SHIPPER. THERE ARE MORE BUT I WILL RESTRAIN MYSELF.

1. What an asshole. I didn't actually like him at the beginning but I did love the relationship and I tried for her sake. He is so not good enough for her. Not that anyone is, but especially him.

2. I really thought it was a tasteful portrayal of two people in an adult relationship, too, until that gross scene in early 4.5 (can't remember when) where they're in bed together like FUCK EVERYBODY LET IT BURN. It made me furious. Aside from the "SEX=MISERY for powerful women" implications, it was this total invalidation of everything that had come before as "will they won't they" which had, frankly, already been way overplayed with Kara and Lee for what, the TWENTY EPISODES before that ( ... )

- Sherlock/John, natch.
- That poll delights me. A while ago, my ex-gf showed me this post from fivethirtyeight, and the numbers are so much more optimistic that I thought possible. The world we live in is changing and the violent pushback against that change is more a sign of success than it is of failure.
- I fucking love George Takei. He's so ridiculous.

WILL catch up on your journal soon. (SOON MANY WIN-ly LINKS!)

But I just wanted to take a pause and say: I think I love George Takei. Like, adore him with rainbows and hearts floating over his way. THAT VIDEO IS WIN. IT'S SO WINNING THAT IT DEFINES WIN.

Win: n: 1. victory; success; triumph; achievement, etc.
2. George Takei for a frakking awesome Takei video

*nods and runs back into hiding for the night* :D

I seriously need to use that all the time now... >>"

The other thing that boggles my mind is that they are banning an "word" that's actually used in the English language (as exhibited very well in the video above) besides what they think they are banning it for.

It's like silliness. Now I wish we had an olden day national anthem with the word "gay" in it and see how they'd deal with that... >>" *headdesk*

And uhmm... *now... I'm really running back into hiding*
