[livejournal.com profile] fannish55 characters who would totally camp out outside a store all night just to get sale prices.

(In order to actually answer this question, I thought about what characters I could see waiting all night outside for something, and then listed their motivations. Because let's face it, not a lot of the characters I care about from shows I watch would be too invested in sale prices, for various reasons.)

1.) Caroline Forbes. You do not want to get between her and on-sale shoes.

2.) M'gann. Would stand outside all night in line simply to experience Black Friday. Then she'd wander around the store looking at everyone else rushing around like frustrated idiots and being crappy. She'd go home with a migraine from all the negative emotional bombardment.

3.) Leslie Knope (Harry Potter), Ben Wyatt (The Hobbit, Thor 2), Wally West (everything LOTR, Marvel-verse, involving superheroes, Ridley Scott, etc, etc) and Dick Grayson (accompanying Wally West) are all huge enough geeks that there is a selection of movies they would stand in line all night (or day, for a midnight showing) to see.

4.) Sansa Stark, in a modern AU, for the sale prices.

5.) Abed (see Wally's list).

Randomly, please enjoy this short but fucking hot as hell Darcy/Steve ficlet.

Now, I feel like there should be DOZENS upon DOZENS of holidays-at-the-West's and Thanksgiving + Wally fics... but sadly, there are only two. Different Names For The Same Thing involves Artemis breaking up with Wally at Thanksgiving dinner (pie did not soften that blow at all) but don't worrry, it ends well. And A Turkey Named Brotherhood involves Wally bringing his Team to Thanksgiving dinner. It is one of those fics that I've read over and over and never get tired of, and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Yesterday was not very fun. One of my coworkers was out sick, which is always a joy, it was just crisis, crisis, crisis, one after another. And then dinner made me so nauseated that I wondered whether I would be calling in sick today (nope, I'm totally fine to go to work today).

Also, I watched episode 1x04 of Arrow while lamenting no new Once, and I’m… really, really, on the fence about whether or not Arrow is worth my time.

Basically, I just want Young Justice to come back into my life. Is that too much to ask?

Anyway, today is likely to be more of the same.... so please spam me with fannish questions to ponder!  I can check my email via my iTouch and I love having something fannish to think about while answering phones. My my tags and my icons are a pretty reliable way to see what shows and books I'm familiar with.

Summary:

"Of all the boyfriends in the world, Artemis Crock would find the one who refuses to have sex with her while she's underage."

I told myself that I would wait until tomorrow and/or I had finished today's nano word count to read this. Only I looked at the summary, made a gasping, squealing sound, and went to read it immediately.

I REGRET NOTHING. This fanfic was so delightful that I had to get up and walk away from my computer in the middle. It has Wally and Artemis being amazing and hilarious and in character, Wally's mother being awesome-cakes, a wonderful snippet with Zatanna and M'gann - basically, this fic is everything I love about Young Justice mixed with a fucking A+ consent plotline.

The election has been called in Obama's favor (fuck yes) but if you still a fandom distraction, check out Look The Other Way Thing A Thon!

And also, this Winter Soldier gif-set, which is AMAZING.

Oh, Young Justice. How time changed you.

~Green Lantern and Young Justice were taken off Cartoon Networks schedule last minute and for no stated reason. I've heard a rumor that they won't be coming back until JANUARY. I have no fucking idea what CN is thinking.

~Regarding Marvel casting for the SHIELD tv show.... you're just fucking with me, aren't you?

I feel like Coulson's schrodinger's cat at this point.


~Mary Elizabeth Winstead is definitely NOT who I'd pick to be Agent 13... but I've been wanting to see more of that actress since both Deathproof and Live Free or Die Hard (I hated Scot Pilgrim, didn't realize she was in that, let us not speak of the horror that is that movie) so I'd be cool with her joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Same with Josh Holloway.

~I saw Chronicle this evening which... I don't know if I can recommend, on the grounds that I didn't actually enjoy it very much, but as a portrait of how someone becomes a super villain, it's very psychologically real.

~A couple of things about The Vampire Diaries...

Green Lantern


I wanted to see the universe, so I stole a Green Lantern and I ran away )

But really, the best discovery was (via [livejournal.com profile] allisnow again) learning that RAZER AND WALLY WEST HAVE THE SAME VOICE ACTOR.

I know this fanart is supposed to be Wally and Artemis... but my first thought was that it was Bart sitting inappropriately close to Wally and Artemis' daughter.

And now I'm trying to figure out if those two would be technically related. Which would be easier if the Allen/West clan was not a blur of superspeed and freckles in my head.

Young Justice



I so don't care about Roy - any iteration of him - so most of this episode was pretty blah for me.

Things I did like:
  • Chesire naming her daughter with Artemis' middle name.
  • M'gann apparently being more concerned with Conner not getting a party than her kidnapped boyfriend.
  • the hint that the Red Hood arc happened in this universe.
  • more hints about how bad the future Bart comes from is.
....that's about it. Seriously, I was expecting this episode to be completely gut-wrenching and about how Artemis' dying is The Worst and instead I got 'Roy is an angry dude, take three.


Green Lantern



Despite not having either of my two favorite characters in it, this was a solid episode. And I will always have a lot of respect for Carol's position and the classy way she stated it.



Once Upon A Time



I had a lot of doubts about season two of OUAT - but I found the opening episode immensely reassuring. IMMENSELY.

I am VERY interested in that dude in New York in the opening, I can't wait to find out why Regina doesn't remember Jefferson, and I cannot wait to see Emma and Snow having adventures together. (Less thrilled about Aurora and Mulan, because the set-up for those two was EPICALLY LAME.)

I cannot wait to find out who Whale is. And Charming's reaction to finding out about that one night stand was PRICELESS.

I was DYING OF DELIGHT at all the fantastic Regina/Emma. And yeah, I know it's shipper goggles, but Emma not letting them kill Regina, being the one to check that she's okay, standing over Regina to protect her from the wraith... all of that made me very happy. And frankly, the scene at the end where Snow, Charming, Regina, and Emma were fighting together was basically everything I have ever wanted from this show.

This is how I feel about the Rumpelstiltskin/Belle relationship:

Photobucket

God, I want to go back and slap the me that shipped them super-hard eight months ago.

And finally, I found this promo pic:

tumblr_mb5cshBQso1qjqko2o1_500

It gives me more Snow and Regina AU feelings. God, so much to love about this - how happy and badass they look, Regina's drinks + Snow's apple, THAT THEY ARE BOTH WEARING PANTS, Regina's epic boots of epicness.

I discovered two Young Justice related tumblrs that are made of sheerest awesome this weekend - textsfromyoungjustice (which literally made me laugh out loud) and asofterjustice which had graphics that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at.

The cream of the crop, imho:

There is a great post here talking about heroes who are heroes because they remember being the villain.

AND IT'S AWESOME.

It's written in reference to Alison Argent but what it really reminds me of (at the moment) is M'gann.

I feel like being into both Young Justice and The Avengers is going to cause me to crack and buuuy a second a la carte icon package.

I have to be at work in, literally, six hours.

I guess it's bad decision Thursday. (Technically Friday?)

Anyway, speaking of icons, a meme!

Pick one or more of my icons, and I will tell you three things I love about whoever or whatever is represented in them, or the icon itself. If you like, I'll do the same for you, although that's not required.

Isn't this icon fabulous? MY LADIES. (Also, it is ridiculously hard to find awesome Artemis icons with her NOT wearing her stupid mask. Seriously, what is wrong with a nice domino mask? Nothing, that's what.)

This M'gann/Conner fanart is awesome. I love the way the red coloring references the heat vision Conner doesn't have.

And this Artemis/Wally fanart is adorable. Speaking of Artemis/Wally fanart, about a billion years ago someone linked to a really great fanart (or two) of Artemis on top of Wally - does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Off topic, I need to figure out how to read fandom things with a serious, expressionless face. Because currently, when I am reading fic on my iTouch, my FACE IS LIKE A BILLBOARD. No one's said anything (yet) but I can tell.

Okay, so, post-season one, Conner is killing time in the laundry room waiting for his jeans to finish drying. What is he doing? I had it in my head that he was reading but I cannot for the life of me decide what.

Suggestions?
