Come Close and Talk Fannish To Me
The way my schedule worked out this week (part chance, part because I worked on Saturday and had a family outing at too-fucking-early-o'clock on Sunday), I have today off, sans a few appointments.
So anybody in the mood to gab about fandom?
Things I have been into recently:
•Community (besides the ubiquitous Jeff/Annie, my interest is piqued in Abed/Annie, Abed/Britta, and Britta/Annie).
•The Vampire Diaries. I just rewatched the pilot last night and was filled with happiness and joy. And I remembered why I had the foolish belief back then when this show started that I could ship Good Girl/Good Vampire. Oh, to be so young and foolish.
•Harry Potter. I'm currently on the downhill slope of Goblet of Fire and Hermione is maintaining a high standard of awesome. (Also, I like Krum/Hermione more and more as time goes on. He was a famous Quiddich star! Who went for the brainy girl! Who tragically paid more attention to the Boy Who Lived and had a crush on her oblivious best friend! SPEND THE SUMMER IN BULGARIA, HERMIONE!)
•Anastasia! I rewatched that movie with my mom a couple of nights ago and it was a really good childhood flashback. (Mom: "Did they just blame the Russian revolution on magic? Did Dimitri and Anya just elope with no money?" Me: "I'm so glad you waited until I was older to nitpick like this. (But you're right, of course.)"
•*points to tag list* While some things I later end up disliking end up in my tag-system, that and my icons are a good way to see what things I at one point liked enough to believe I'd be talking about them more than once.

I love that movie. I love that movie even more after Russian History 311. I love it because it shows that you can make a fairy tale out of ANYTHING.
I love that they made Nicholas out to be a wise, benevolent ruler, overthrown by the evil communists. I love that apparently the Russian royal family (save Anastasia) were apparently murdered in the palace the night of the first revolution (or were there even two revolutions in this timeline?).
I love that apparently the season changes from DARKEST WINTER to THE GLORY OF SPRING in the week it takes them to go from Moscow to Germany. I love that apparently Anastasia's hair grows from cute short pony-tail length to flowing tresses in that same week.
I love the dancing, singing bugs. And the bat. I love the bat.
It's Always Spring In Paris
Yes!
And it's not like 'disappeared princess' isn't the start of about a billion fairy tales already.

I KNOW, RIGHT? In the waltz scene I was trying to fanwank her hair. I was like, 'well maybe it's wrapped in a bun with a ending ponytail?
For me, it's like 'history, smishtory. I am in it for the Han and Leia dynamic do Russia. The bit where you find out that Vlad has been keeping score never fails to make me ♥
