Lacking In Epic Things

[redbrunja]

I feel like for my first post of March I should have something epic! (Lives ruined, blood shed) but I don't. No brilliant ideas for a post. Instead, you have scattered thoughts.

[+] I have the worst luck with fannish swag. Beyond, like, two pieces of fanart (that aren't even hung up at the moment) I have regretted every. single. fannish-specific thing that I have ever bought. My mind keeps trying to tally up all the money I've spent on swag at cons and it's really depressing. And I really want to have, like, cool geeky t-shirts but I feel like that is just throwing good money after bad. There are two exceptions: my Firefly t-shirts (a gift), which I wore to rags, and my Sai doll, which was the best twenty-first b-day girl could ask for (thanks, backtothesea You rock.) So the moral is, I shouldn't buy myself fannish swag. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE  SUGAR DADDY, so I'm S.O.L. on that front. (My bad luck in this even extends to buying OTHER people fannish swag.)

[+] I hate job hunting. It's the worst.

[+] I feel like a Stark Industries vibrator would be either the best or the worst. (Orgasms for world peace!) And now I'm imagining Tony building Pepper a vibrator. Pre-Iron Man it would be:
    Pepper: "Mr. Stark, this is a completely inappropriate gift."
    Tony: "I'm being helpful and considerate, Ms. Potts. I know you don't have time to date. Fine, if you don't want it..."

And after they start dating it would Tony would present her with this red and gold and arc!reactor-ed (that would be where you change the setting) MONSTROSITY.
     Tony: For when you miss me and my penis while I'm on missions.
    Pepper: That's the most horrifying thing I have ever seen. Also, you're not as good at engineering vibrators as [blah, blah, company in Sweden].

[+] In case you're not watching the recs at unfitforsociety, you should be. Especially if you're an Avengers fan. There's always a mix of pairing and the most recent post has some great Steve/Darcy fics.

[+] When watching this Thursday's LBD, I have to admit that I was suckered in for a minute. I believed that Jane was going to go off to New York alone. And while I'm sort of (?) glad she and Bing got back together, I really loved the idea of the writers making a right turn with Jane's narrative and having her go off to New York alone, having turned Bing down. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, thus far we have seen kisses between Lydia and Wickham and Jane and Bing. There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for not showing us Darcy's mouth on Lizzie's mouth.

[+] This is a fabulous LBD fanart. Congratulations on the rest of your life, Lizzie B.

I suck at getting fan swag too. :( The only thing I love, love, love is my Zuko/Katara fan buttons, fanart I got from Irrel, my "I love Jack Sparrow" necklace (I'm not even sure if it's rusted yet though) and the Sailor Moon key chains I got. I've bought some pretty unfortunate plushies. Your Sai doll sounds cool though. :3

See, that sounds like a fairly decent collection of nice things!

Aww, thank you. <3 I am quite happy with them, though I wouldn't mind a plushie of one of my favourite characters.

I know you don't really talk about A:TLA anymore, but just in case, this website looks like it has some decent fan swag:

I think the person who makes these is worth keeping your eye on.

Ooh, she does have some cool things.

I know, right? I was impressed by this bracelet she made after one of my favourite characters in Legend of Korra. Too bad I don't have more money, otherwise I'd be going on a spending spree.
