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.

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 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 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 ♥
