Patchwork Post

~I'm currently trying to decide if I should be super-productive today or actually relax. Mmmm, choices, choices.

~I really don't appreciate LJ dying for just me yesterday.

~Two more days of Pornathon! Captain America and Pepper Potts still refuse to bang, although Steve Rodgers is willing to pine. Luckily, Cassie and Nick (sort-of) and Loki and Sif (without question) were a lot more amenable. Personal goal: at least one Easy A prompt. What pornlets are you hoping to knock out by tomorrow, flist? (Also, I'm having the hardest time thinking of a title for me Loki/Sif fic.)

~Speaking of that pairing, I am reading Sif/Loki fic like it's my job.

~New THG pics here. Peeta looks ridiculous. I laughed at the picture of him with the bread. I may have to start shipping Gale/Katniss due to their much higher hotness quotient.

Agreed on Peeta, though hmm . . . the overall Hunger Games casting seems to be pretty solid. I'm assuring myself that the photos of Katniss are her after her makeover and waxing and all that for the cameras.

Though my dream casting had the Capitol filled with celebrities, the idea being that the place is filled with those who are unnaturally attractive, partially due to cosmetic surgery.

And fwiw, LJ played possum for me a bit yesterday.

Yeah, I approve of every casting choice except Peeta, which is a damn shame.

Really, what happened to the kid who came across as too innocent to survive the Games? A better option would be . . . I dunno, a Romeo and Juliet-era DiCaprio.

also I should admit that I stopped reading about halfway through Mockingjay due to becoming hung up on details. Namely, that the food distribution networks went down during the revolution -- either there's gonna be widespread deaths due to starvation or I'll be going 'why the hell weren't there widespread deaths due to starvation?'

Because not everyone can track down edible plants in the woods and hunt squirrels.

Yeah, you can't tell me there wasn't some brilliant unknown who totally looked the part?

Seriously?

Well, that and I had the sinking realization that the love triangle wouldn't end with Katniss going "Would you two idiots stop trying to sacrifice yourselves so I can be with the other one already? I love you both. I don't want either of you to die. We are all going to survive this stupid war together. Hell, I'm the Mockingjay -- who says I have to choose? Btw, as you both seem interested in kids but I don't, you two will be in charge of raising 'em."

Yum. Cannot wait to read this!

Thank you. I might post it not connected to pornathon, though, because as I mentioned... this is not being an easy fic to write.

LJ died for me, too, lol. Meant I got some sleep ;P

WHAT EASY A PROMPTTT?!

Hoping to knock out by tomorrow: finishing another Blair/Dan one, working on a Dany/Jorah one (but it's difficult to make them actually bone) and a Caroline/Tyler one, plus who knows what else I can manage, lol.

I agree about Peeta looking ridiculous ... but I actually prefer Gale/Katniss in general (especially in the second and third books), so I adore that one pic of them together lookin' hot, lol.

They looked smokin' not gonna lie.

Oh, LJ was definitely down for about 90 minutes last night. It wasn't just you - I couldn't get in at all. People were having a bitch-and-moan fest about it over at the Facebook LJ page.

If you look at downrightnow for LiveJournal, you can still see the outage quite clearly. It looks like they might have had a little problem earlier today, too.

Ah. I usually check downforeveryoneorjustme and it was telling me it was just me.

Yeah, when I was in the middle of tearing my hair out and muttering "I can't take another 5 days off LJ!" I tried downforeveryoneorjustme, and it was claiming "just you" for me as well. And this was at the same time that everyone was freaking out over on FB (and Twitter, too), so I don't know what that was all about.

Oh, god, another 5 days of no LJ would have been TERRIBLE.

And this was at the same time that everyone was freaking out over on FB (and Twitter, too), so I don't know what that was all about.

Yeah, that's odd. Usually downforeveryone is pretty accurate.

Yeah, I was RAGE!facing over on Twitter for a good twenty minutes last night. And then everything was made better when my friend tweeted me: In soviet Russia, 503 error runs you! And I couldn't be mad anymore.

Josh Hutcherson just looks like he has a nasty smell under his nose in every picture. Peeta's supposed to be boyishly charming and nice to people. He's not supposed to look bored and angry at the world like a little emo boy.

It's so true.

Right? Right? His face always looks so pinched.

Hey, it definitely died for me, too. T_T

They all look so old. I know it's Hollywood, but goddamn, I wish I could see kids that looked like kids. part of the horror for me was the characters being children and these people are looking college age. Still young, but not as trauma-inducing.

Aside from that, agreeing with the other comments. Where is boyishly open-faced, smiling Peeta? T_T

Sadly, it doesn't look like he's going to be in this movie.
