My reaction to today's LBD:
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,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 ( Read more... )
[+] This is a fabulous LBD fanart. Congratulations on the rest of your life, Lizzie B.

I saw Warm Bodies with qualapec yesterday and loved it. I can already tell you that it’s going to end up in one of my top five movies of 2013.
I would love other people to watch this movie so here is the trailer (watch halfway through and then click out of the window - the trailer editor tried to show the whole movie in three minutes, like they always do):
If you watched that and thought, ‘Huh, that could be good,’ know that yes, it is good.
Here are some non-spoilery things to get you to watch the movie:
-It's funny. R’s inner monologue is priceless.
-the music choices are brilliant. They choose some great songs and used them perfectly.
-the heroine, Julie, is a total fucking badass
-Julie has an interesting backstory with her ex-boyfriend (shocking, right? someone who is clearly the romantic interest is written to have a LIFE and a PAST of her own)
-Julie is also friends with ANOTHER badass zombie killing girl. There is no jealousy and no bitchiness in their relationship and the friend is allowed to be funny. (Girls being funny! It happens!)
Now, once you’ve seen this movie, here are some spoilery things that I want to talk about

In honor of femmeslash February, I come bearing recs:
You Do Not Have To Walk On Your Knees (Once Upon A Time, Regina/Emma) Part One, Two, and Three.
This fic manages to be gloriously humorous, filled with accurate character beats and character insights, and gets Regina and Emma together in a believable way.
When It's Time To Turn The Page (Natasha Romanov/Kate Bishop)
Post Winter Soldier 14 fix-it fic in which Natasha responds to getting screwed over by her amnesic, paternalistic, one-armed, solviet, assassin DICK of an ex-boyfriend by sexing the fuck out of Kate Bishop. Because Kate Bishop makes everything better by a factor of one hundred. True story.
Get Loved, Make More (Gigi Darcy/Lydia Bennet)
A deliciously taut, slow-burn Gigi/Lydia fic. Also, this has some phenomenal background Lizzie/Darcy.

JUST LOOK AT THEIR FACES. LOOK HOW FIERCE SHE LOOKS AND HOW HAPPY HE LOOKS. I JUST CAN'T.
Did Gigi specify in her twitter that it was an opera or did she just say 'theater' as well?
Also, regardless, I'm going to need suggestions as to what play/opera Darcy might have bought tickets for. Because of reasons.

Le sigh.
brokenrecord_ pretty much laid out my feeling on this episode here and I think tumblr has pretty well covered what’s not working about this section of the narrative. Speaking personally, I am not traught with any of the choices being made

In a change of tone, I do want to recommend two LBD fanworks:
In Our Own Pretty Ways in which Gigi and Lydia exchange music and don't talk about things (with bonus fanmix!) and this fanvid:

In other news, Cartoon Network canceled Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series.
I couldn’t care less about Young Justice – I think that the writers made some very dumb creative choices for the second season that the show has yet to recover from (and now never will) and the scheduling dickery was classic ‘make a show hard to find and follow; justify cancelation’ from the network. I am grinding my teeth about Green Lantern, though. I have/had hope that
( spoilers for the most recent GL episode )
On the subject of ironic timing, I have actually been meaning to talk about times that I am grateful when shows were canceled because sometimes I am (NOT THIS TIME, THOUGH).
These are the shows that I am grateful were canceled because it meant that I had a basically complete arc of a show I loved all the way through. (The Sarah Conner Chronicles are not listed because I still cannot believe that Fox didn’t give us a season three; Young Justice is not listed because I am so annoyed with the current season my previous love is already tainted; Green Lantern *could potentially be listed* if

before the curtain drops.)
So, without further ado, shows where cancelation was a secret blessing:

Speaking personally, I’ve run smack into the part of the story where watching each episode as it airs make me obsess over things that the next episode clarifies. Not like I'm going to stop, mind you, because delaying gratification is not something I do.

–I Keep Trying to Leave but the Sex Just Gets Better and Better by Ali Shapiro
–Lizzie/Darcy "...like I'm a trainwreck and he just can't look away."
–Lizzie/Darcy fanart.
–Nick Fury's notes. The commentary on Black Widow is perfect; and now I'm tempted to read something with Luke Cage. What's the skinny on heroes for hire?
–If Sharon Carter were were a dude....
