Litany In Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out, a Damon/Elena picspam

[lackadaisicalnereid]

For those of you who may not be aware:
In the corner of TVD fandom where I mostly reside, there is this obsession (I am not kidding. It's an obsession.) with a poet, Richard Siken, and especially his one poem, titled Litany In Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out. The obsession manifests itself in many shapes and forms: people's journals have titles from the poems, the lines from the poems are prompted on all the ficathons, mentioned in metas and focuses of fics, maybe even icons. In this case it's a picspam. What I tried to do started as an impossible idea: combine every line from the poem (which is about 150 lines) with different screencaps of scenes from The Vampire Diaries, focusing on Damon and Elena. TAH-DA. It's here, behind the curtaincut.

ETERNAL thanks to my betas and moral supporters (in order of appearance, I think?): upupa_epops, who not only cheered this idea on and was FABULOUS moral support, but also provided advice and helped with the choices. If it wasn't for you, Marta, this probably would never have become more than an idea. You are to blame, just saying. ever_neutral, YOU WERE AMAZING, with your LOAD of constructive criticism which helped this picspam grow into its final form. youcallitwinter, who was awfully excited and cheered me on and read my ~1000 words of non picspam related stories, while I should have been working on the picspam. And finally, vergoldung, who cheered me on and SHAMELESSLY blackmailed me into finishing it quickly.




Bless you all.

Note: The picspam contains images from all of the series, season 1 to season 3. Beware of spoilers if you haven't seen it.

Oh yay :) how/where do I send it then?

Me/Words is the truest of all OTPs.
Forever jealous tbh. Me and Words are pretty much arch-nemesises. *sob*

LOL A COLLEGE INDEED. But ughhh that paper subject turns me on. (I'm fucking serious. This is like cotton-candy, don't tease me plz.)

<33333333 CHILDISH FUN!
I just thought of a ship acronym. Dorel. I think I like it. But I'm also pretty fond of Eldo. I don't know. Need to think some more. (What even tonight, what even. I blame the dumb driving theory exercises I'm battling with...)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Hm e-mail them to me? I'll send you my e-mail in a message :)

+ oh <3 well, I don't know if anyone ships it, other than me, of course. And it's not really a happily ever after ship :D We often argue.

IKR? <3

Oh, Dorel. I really like that <3

Oh, you're battling driving theory? that sounds awful :|

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

Well, you know how I feel about doomed ships..

(Except Dorel, because that's forever fluffy (and frolicking? sorry sorry) and also just forever /gross sap)

DRIVING THEORY IS AWFUL AWFUL I HATE IT SO EFFING MUCH. I'm going to Angers on Monday because the exam is scheduled for Tuesday morning. Let's hope I pass so I can finally start the driving lessons. (I'm so bored with all things car, tbh. I wish I could apparate.)

everyone loves hates loves a good doomed ship :D

FOREVERFLUFFYFROLICKING, good lord, all the Fs and Rs, it's perfect <3

I understand, apparation seems loads better. Destination, Destination, Deliberation, and that's it.

(that was such a fun part of the book, when the kids learn to apparate <333333 golden trio feels. I NEED FIC.)

ALSO I READ THAT Sev/Min(/Albus) thing, IT WAS gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood <3

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

OMG YES IT'S BEEN WAY TOO LONG THIS I'VE READ TRIO FIC MYSELF. THIS IS NOT OKAY. AT ALL.

I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOUUUUU ♥

Did it give you plutbunnies also? /forever greedy

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

go prompt on my crazy december meme if you want to <3

but yes i will be thinking of golden trio fics now <333333 NEED TO LOOK FOR RECS.

♥ ♥ ♥

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

trio!fic you mean? WILL DO, BRO, WILL DO.

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

YOU DO THAT! /wants all the prompts <3

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

one question, tho : porn or gen? (just to know in which direction to unleash my crazy - especially because I love both equally when it comes to them)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

hm, gen. with perhaps a hint of sexual potential? (i am being difficult, i know, which is ridiculous, since you're the one thinking of prompts for me. bless you.)

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

perfect. perfect. *brainstorms*

BUT WAIT : WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS ON THE EPILOGUE/OTHER IMPORTANT CANON THINGS THAT FANDOM PEOPLE GLEEFULLY OBSESS OVER/BITTERLY CHOOSE TO IGNORE?
(We never talk about HP feels, that is a problem. Especially for prompting. I need to know what you like and disliiikkke.)

Just quicky tell me the era you like for them. (Or rather : if there's one you don't like.)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

I like post-war trio, but you know, immediately afterwards, while everything's all fresh and new <3333 also i like them when they have children as well. (the epilogue is all shiny and happy, it's obviously impossible that everything is so shiny and happy and perfect.) prompt what you will based on that <3

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

Good. Good.

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

good indeed. i have to go sleep now <3

talk later ;)

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

night <3
