I WANT DADDY PENGUINS :)

I am just unsure about what to write when it comes to daddy penguins. What are they doing? Eating fish? Snuggling? I DON'T KNOW.

I'm torn, too. I heard that there's some creative differences and the director, Julie Taymor, wants to take her name off the picture.

That's always a giant warning sign. Hmmm, I'll wait to see what the reviews say, I think.

'Bitter resentful penguin' is like an oxymoron. Penguins bring the happy. They can't be bitter, silly.

That is why I think you should write it. It'd be an interesting and educational expose into the true lives of penguins and the fact that they don't just bring the happy.

Also, ice floes can create much laughs and drama. Also 'floes' is a fun words to write.

Pfft. It would be a glorious expose. "The Secret Lives Of Penguins" or something.

And I shall look into the ice floes. They could be the source of much hilarity.

That was partially my inspiration! Gay penguins! Brilliant. :p

Very doubtful about "Across the Universe" since I remember about two or three summers ago, the whole fucking MWPP sect of the Harry Potter fandom was head over fucking heels for this wretched song fic where the whole 70s experience of Lily, James, Sirius, and Remus was sprinkled with Beatles songs, like James and Lily listening to "Julia" in the common room and Sirius and Remus enjoying their sodomiffic afterglow with "Across the Universe" playing... painful.

But it's Julie Taymor so it'll be visually gorgeous. Decisions decisions!

Hahahahaha. I was actually reading/writing MWPP HP at the time, and I kind of remember that fic. Kind of. There was a big Beatles fixation at the time. I may have been involved, though it was probably mostly indirectly.

And yeah, maybe the beauty will forgive the utter randomness of the song selection and the lack of coherence. I don't know. The trailer actually made me want to go back and listen to all of my albums again, which may or may not be a good thing, at least.
