swim through the fires to stay in this world

Ever felt like you should revoke your shipping credentials? Because you like the strangest ships and/or parts of your ship? Well TELL US MORE. Answer the questions with ships you love like burning.*

*I have comparatively few pairing that I could accurately say I ship like burning, so I qualify this as ships that I a.) really like and b.) would be interested in reading and/or writing fanfic about.

This week is fucking fired. Seriously, I am so glad that I just have a shift tomorrow left and then I swear to god, I am going to spent Saturday curled up under the covers. And then go watch Man of Steel with awesome people.

Work had been endless and dull and my headspace has been totally grey.

In an attempt to cheer myself up, I've been thinking a lot about the friends-to-lovers trope and specifically, the tipping point moment, when the couple can no longer be (or pretend to be) "just friends."

So I'd love to hear people's friends-to-lovers recs! Or we could just chat about our

(For my part, I'd suggest everyone read Making It, based off Jenny Crusie's Faking It.)

 Would some kind soul please make me an icon from this image?

Also, everyone needs to go read this right now. It's a Doctor Who/Faking It cross over, in which Amy and the Goodnight ladies discuss donuts vs muffins, and it is even more awesome than it sounds.

So, my mom and I are giving Gargoyles a rewatch. It's almost as good as Avatar in the made-for-children, good-enough-for-adults way and I remember an insane amount of detail from when I first watched it at eight. Like, I remember specific scenes in great detail. It's really fun watching it with my mother, who has quite the eye for little details. "Why doesn't he just through that guy off the castle? Why do all the bad guys keep missing when they shoot?" Me: "Children's cartoon mom, children's cartoon.

Also, from this week's fannish5 :

Name your favorite character's five favorite books.

I picked Hatake Kakashi, because he was the easiest of my favorite characters to come up with favorite books for. I would do Sumire, but I don't know enough of Japanese literature and pop culture to do her justice.

5.) Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence

4.) The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

3.) That really good book about the Vietnam triage nurse that I read at least five times but can't remember the exact title and amazon is being unhelpful.

2.) Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie

1.) Icha Icha Tactics by Jiriaya

Dishonorable mention: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. This was the most terrifying book Kakashi has ever read and made him beyond grateful that Sasuke never loved Sakura back, that Sakura went to the Fifth for training and that none of them lived in Rain country.
