WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.

But more importantly, curse you norsekink for including RPS prompts! I saw this Dom!Tom and sub!Chris prompt and went all O_O => @_@ => *_*.

Because, fuck, Hiddles would be hot as hell as a dom! (OR a sub, but I digress.)

In other news, iris242x and I are making good progress on our as-yet-unnamed Chinese post-Avengers Thor/Loki fic. It's almost at the 10k word count mark! I think it will probably be somewhere near 20k by the time we are done (which I hope is by this weekend). There is still a lot of work to be done, but for once, I'm optimistic!

List of questions here.

Day 22. A fic you won't read late at night

Five Times A Character I Love Did Something I Hated by Sirius Black by shaggydogstail (Harry Potter)

Actually, I just, like, don't ever want to read it again.
I am not a big fan of Gintama (mainly because the manga had too much dialogue for me...no I'm serious), but in the first book, the character Shimura Tae said something akin to this: "It's painful to hold onto something like this, but at the same time, it's also painful to throw it away. If it causes pain in any case, I'd rather carry it with me." That pretty much describes my feelings towards Sirius.
With that said, this is my last Harry Potter rec in this meme, I swear. >_>

Day 23. A favourite short fic

You're a Taboo by Wrabbit (Sherlock BBC, Mycroft/Sherlock)

"I don't believe you," John said flatly. "You hate each other."
Sherlock absently plucked out a few bars John didn't recognize. "Despise, really," he said finally.
"Quite." Mycroft sighed and stood up.

麦哥：为了权力而混入狮家的蛇
小夏：因为默念“死也不去鹰家”而被分到了狮家……的鹰？
阿花：狮家，纯的
探长：狮家，纯的+1
莫娘：沦落(？)到了鹰家的蛇
安曦：被父母逼着上Hogwarts新东方的鹰家

小夏和阿花一年，麦哥和Anthea一年，莫娘和探长……不知道……

不过看着这一系列，我只觉得，那帽子真可怜………………

( 归根结底，这还是个兄弟俩搅基的故事。 )

List of questions here.

Day 09. A fic that makes you happy

Otter of the Lord by skellerbvvt (Supernatural, Dean/Castiel)

Dean did not expect Cas to come back as an Otter, mostly because…who expects that? Who does that?


Day 10. A fic that reminds you of someone

Wild regrets, bloody sweats by Meadowsweet (Harry Potter, James/Remus/Sirius)

It reminds me of gwen7 because she has tried to get me into J/S in general and what we call "3S-ism" (J/R/S OT3) in particular. It almost worked. Almost.


Day 11. A fic that changed your perceptions of the characters

Lachesis by Miriam Heddy (Numb3rs, Larry/Charlie)

Not necessarily changed my perception, but it brought a whole level of depth to the both of them and the beginning of their relationship. For me, Miriam Heddy would always be synonymous with Numb3rs fanfiction.

Larry looked like he was going to crawl right out of his skin and break something again. He'd tucked his head down between his shoulders and was folding up on himself like a crumpled piece of origami paper, and Charlie suddenly longed to draw him out, suddenly ridiculously turned on by the certainty that it wasn't all just in his head, and that Larry had really wanted him.

Because he'd filed the whole thing away at the time as yet another misread social cue, and, over time, had forgotten about it. And though he'd known he was getting better at it everyday, he still sometimes got people very wrong, though never with any serious repercussions. Though he'd actually never had as much trouble with Larry as he had with some people. So he should have suspected. Maybe he did suspect. Maybe that's why he was still here, this many years later. Maybe it all came down to not misreading that moment—and maybe it was like the problem he began that year but couldn't solve until he'd learned enough to move through to the next steps. His intuitive leaps could only ever take him so far. He had to show his work.

报个拒信

REJ@Hogwarts school
本来就对这学校不报希望的，申请的时候问小米，小米说你这种麻瓜出身的人一般没希望。我申的Slytherin的黑魔法防御专业，当时随便套了一下斯内普，结果不回，后来问拽哥马份说，斯内普一般不亲自带，建议去套伏地魔，结果2月28号的时候伏地魔把我从梦里拽走面试，他长得实在是，我吓得好多东西说不出来了。醒来就知道悲剧了，果然今天收到拒信。

回复1：Lz我也申他家了，12月底就把材料寄出，至今音信全无！请问他家拒信是什么形式，猫头鹰吗？！

I am suddenly hit with the realization that I gave up on Harry Potter not because Sirius Black died. No, I gave up on reading Harry Potter when Sirius Black died; but what made me turn away from the whole series (as in, a total ceasing of interest in all things related to it), in retrospect, was the Harry/Ginny ship. To be fair, I had not read the parts pertaining to it, but I was aware of the fan reactions around me, and they were pretty uniformly bad. As I was not about to read the actual book (see: Sirius Black being dead thing), I kind of had to take other people's words for it.

Incidentally, it's not because of slash. I don't ship Harry with anybody, at all. Never did and probably never will. (Although come think of it, HP gave me a great het couple for the parts that I did read: Ron/Hermione.)

Which leads to a mini rant, actually:

I am SICK of the whole "oh you are against a het-ship/female character because you are being unfair to women" mantra that I keep hearing. No. No. No. No. NO. I don't like YOUR het-ship because it's in conflict with my OTP (which happens het or slash), and I don't like YOUR favorite female character because I find her annoying or downright Mary Sue-ish. I like my het couples and female characters just fine, just not the ones YOU like. So stop making assumptions about me, bitch. —yeah, I went there. I am that mad about it.

There may well be a dearth of likable/strong/_________ female characters in popular media today, and yes that is a problem. But the solution is NOT trying to tell me that I SHOULD like or identify with the more popular candidates (because hey, I must be prejudiced if I don't).

And seriously? It's absolutely ridiculous that I should even feel the need to defend myself and my choices like this.

Feminism means liberation. Stop trying to oppress me with it.

比如说，Nelly Furtado的All Good Things (Come to an End)是那种让我一听钟情的歌。而且因为歌词里面这么一段，曾经让我认定了这是用来配Bleach恋白的。(天知道我不萌恋白……)
Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could....
Die die die die die

然而在Youtube上看到这么一个无比强大无比XXX的MV，顿时不顾自己是在啥地方，只想一路狂奔到荒地里去嚎叫。(= =)

那真是……
万种誓言图永远，一般模样负神明。

天啊Sirius. Sirius Sirius Sirius.

接着呢看到X-Japan的2008复出。

好死不死，上来第一个镜头就是那把缀满红心的吉他。我还在发怔说怎么看起来像……结果镜头就转到秀人的脸了。于是泪水就在眼眶里面开始打转。到这份上，看到他们高兴我都只有掉眼泪的份，真的很ダサい。

后来和BY同学说，生存状态基本上就是“一边发愣一边傻笑一边哭”。

九月十三号，MSG就是那应许之地。
