I just realized that since I have yoga pants that are decent enough to wear to the movie theater, there is really no damn need for me to put on actual pants at all today (it's been nothing but work out sweats and now post-shower yoga pants).

Warning: the next slew of posts are going to be expansions of comments, because that's how I roll.

mollivanders and I were talking about early Lizzie/Darcy (LBD) and I said:
I feel like Darcy originally “couldn’t look away” from Lizzie for the same reasons that he is in love with her at the end (her passion, her expressiveness, that she is his intellectual equal, that she is witty) but his love is SO MYOPIC. I firmly believe that Darcy NEVER ONCE actually considered that Lizzie might not be into him; basically, his love was selfish and entirely about his feelings. And on Lizzie’s part, I think she, while being attracted to his face (and, in the LBD-verse) the fact that he’ll actually have an opinion and a debate with her, truly, 100% dislikes him for what are VALID REASONS. He did diss her! He did break up her sister’s relationship! (There is also the Wickham thing, but that is the only piece of why Lizzie initially disliked him that is not 100% factually true!)
Basically, that first proposal HAD to end in rejection, because Darcy needed to look at himself from Lizzie’s eyes and I think Lizzie learning the truth of things and then seeing Pemberley with this sense that it was something she might have had but wouldn’t now (and by seeing Pemberely, seeing all the good qualities of Darcy that hadn’t been on display before) was really pivotal to why they’ll be able to last long-term/ their overall character development.
And because it never gets old, a supercut of Lizzie insulting Darcy:

One of the het big bang offerings was a Artemis/Wally story and that re-awoke my feelings for that couple.
(IF YOU HAVE FIC RECS, PLEASE PASS THEM MY WAY.)
Still annoyed that they killed off Wally. Just in general but especially at that place in their relationship arc.
I was totally cool with Wally and Artemis taking some time off of super-heroing to go to college, especially considering HOW FUCKING MANY heroes were just loitering around Young Justice season two, but I was operating under the assumption that after this brief period of peace, Wally and Artemis would team back up and continue on fighting baddies.
Like, some brilliant YJ fan on my flist was talking about (before season two kicked into gear) that the time to build their relationship was going to allow Artemis and Wally to stay strong and weather whatever dire events season two would throw their way and I WOULD HAVE BEEN SO DOWN FOR THAT. Unfortunately, that is SO NOT what we got.
Also, apparently Wally used to be/maybe is in the 52 dating/married to someone named Laura and, I don’t mean to be that fan, BUT NO. ARTEMIS OR NO ONE, WALLY WEST. ARTEMIS OR NO ONE.
