Summer in the city where the air is still

GUYS I AM BACK.

SO:

I met the cutest baby ever. EVER. I WANTED TO MAKE ICONS OF HER. FOR REAL. She's a girl and she's four and has blond hair and blue eyes and she says the cutest things, like when we played hide and seek, my sister hid under the bed and she went to search for her and she couldn't find her and we revealed my sister and then she said "Yes, I saw some pants under the bed. I thought it was someone else." <33333333333333333 and she has facial expressions that could rival those of Caroline Forbes. Just sayin.

Also other highlights:

I ate Bolognese sauce from a cup. With a spoon. /random things that I like

I bought a New Moon cup with Edward, Bella and Jacob. It is now my most prized possession. (My love for trashy teen romances with heroines I dislike and poorly executed predictable love triangles knows no boundaries <33333

In general, I spent time in the sun and under water and drank a Margarita (awful, tequila is NOT my friend) dreamt of upupa_epops's fic, stalked LJ, read fic, read Eragon, am reading Eldest now. I liked Eragon a lot. Arya kicks ass (though I prefer my GoT Arya <3)

I ship Eragon/Murtagh. /whatever (I sense that it won't end well for me.)



AND NOW FANDOM THINGS



I am leaving town again on the 25th, I think. I HAVE SO MANY PLANS UNTIL THEN.

Stalk through the awesome Adult Comment Ficathon. potentially write something.

Locate and post on my journal some OLD Community, TVD, Harry Potter ficlets. I like having things on my journal, ok?

Do tons of icons/graphics/fic I promised to people/monthly contests.

Also go me!



won 3rd place in some category on season20in20
and



won Mod's choice for some other category.

(Stuff like this occasionally boosts my ego. I feel awful, ok.)



AND THE FINAL CUT, BECAUSE MEMES ARE NEEDED, ALWAYS.



Snagged #1 and snagged & changed #2 from upupa_epops

1. If you had to sign up for Yuletide tomorrow, which three fics would you ask for? OR, alternatively, if Yuletide isn't your thing: which three fics would you will into existence at this very moment. I want details. (Emphasis mine.)

2. Name a character, and I'll name a TV show I think he/she enjoys, along with ship(s) I think he/she ships.

AND HOW ARE YOU PEOPLE? I want to hear about ALL THE THINGS. Did I miss something while stalking on my phone?

(Also, my laptop hates me and I need to reinstall Windows on it and my phone ~died: I can't hear anyone while making phone calls. WOE IS ME.)

WELL WELL WELL, LOOK WHO'S HERE!

Congrats on your awards! Well deserved, I say.

Meme #2, Damon. GO.

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I KNEW YOU'D ASK FOR DAMON. Luckily, I have an ~answer thought out. (Because how better to spend a vacation then thinking about a fictional character's shipping preferences. Fuck my life.)

I think that Damon definitely watched BtVS and spent many years nodding along to Spike's judgment of Buffy and her holier than thou vibe. I think he shipped Dru/Spike in the beginning, mostly because it reminded him of his and Katherine's relationship or how he imagined it: them two traveling the world and wrecking havoc everywhere. In the later seasons he jumped ship a bit and started pulling for Buffy/Spike, because he likes Buffy and because he likes to see the ~undeserving guy get the girl sometimes. Also, sometimes he drinks bourbon while he watches season 7 and then he throws the glass into the fireplace while shouting "damn, that was such a good redemption arc. I wish I had one like that sometimes"

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

I approve of your brain.

Don't forget, Damon ships Rhett/Scarlett.

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Oh of course <3

YAY someone who approves of my brain.

I plan to stalk through your ficathon (again :P) to admire prompts and perhaps find inspiration to write something. And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about your wallpaper :D

What show does Caroline like?

Congrats on your icon winnage. Ego boosts are always good, I say. Which reminds me, I never stole that icon from you that I was planning on! Oy!

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Go steal! Which one was it? :O

Hm, Caroline.

Well if I've not seen AtS, only BtVS but from what I know of the characters and of the ship through fandom osmosis (caugh youcallitwinter cough I think Caroline might ship Cordelia/Angel. Cordelia's her type of girl and she enjoys watching her kick ass/struggle with things and then kick their asses. Also perhaps I think she enjoys Big Bang Theory occasionally and ships Penny/Happiness because Penny is blond and perky and cheerful and tries to do things right and she reminds her of herself and sometimes when she watches Gossip Girl she watches Serena and Blair and sees too much of herself and Elena in how jealous and needy Blair sometimes gets of Serena, even though Gossip Girl got the girls' hair colors wrong, but then she thinks she's getting better at just being happy with herself without comparing herself to Elena, and then she smiles and takes Elena out for cocktails and they wear their prettiest dresses.

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

OMG YES. Caroline watching GG and TBBT so much YES. Also, Cordy and Angel are definitely a ship she enjoys. But she' probably enjoy Stefan/Caroline were she watching TVD :P

[badboy-fangirl.livejournal.com]

So Caroline ships Caroline/happiness? ;-) I like the stream-of-consciousness here, it feels very Caroline.

This icon *points*

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

BOLOGNESE IN A CUP? WANT!

Congrats on your icon wins :D

2. Lily Evans. (Yes, I'm in HP mood. Hadn't you noticed?)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT? It's fabulous :D And with a spoon and with bread!

<3

Oh, Lily. Interesting. (I noticed :P)

AGAIN, only fandom osmosis, but I think Lily would be a DIE HARD Eleventh Doctor/Amy fan. (Doctor Who. Are you familiar with it? :O How am I clueless about this? :O)



Basically, from what I gather, Amy is a fierce, independent, ass-kicking REDHEAD. She over-identifies with her, of course :D And Eleven reminds Lily of James, because he's reckless and jokes around a lot, sometimes even too much, but when really needed, he'll be at your side and kick ass of anyone who tries to hurt you.

(ALEX? AM I GETTING ANY OF THIS RIGHT? :D fandom osmosis is my worst enemy/best friend.)

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

LOLOL I think the length of my shipping threw you off ;) I haven't seen Doctor Who (yet).

HOWEVER. I don't see how Lily would have watched the show either? (I just thought of that. How mean of mean. You need to research and stuff, because of time accuracy...)

But Amy sounds pretty great, I must say :) :)


(Re: food. I am eating ham and olives right now. Without bread. Because it's good. /whatever)

SOBBING EVERYTHING IS PERFECT NOTHING HURTS

[xx-pinkstar.livejournal.com]

PURTY ICONS.

Also: Stefan :)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Thankyou!

Oh my, Stefan Salvatore. (Allow me to be ~predictable here)

Stefan is eternally torn between shipping Buffy/Angel and pulling for Buffy getting away from Angel before he breaks her beyond repair. (At the end of the day, he always chooses Buffy/Angel together and hates himself for it and sometimes can't look into Elena's eyes the next morning.)

ALSO I have a ~feeling he'd pull for Nate/Blair if he watched Gossip Girl. Can't quite explain why :D

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh nooooooo STEFAAAAN WHYYYYYYY? (I am awful. I keep interrupting all your conversations.)
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT BUFFY IS THE WORST FOR ANGEL, OPEN YOUR EYES SILLY BOY! SHE IS THE LENSE TO HIS SELF-LOATHING. *WEEPING*

[xx-pinkstar.livejournal.com]

POOR, POOR STEFANO. LIFE IS SO HARD. I can almost imagine Stefan rooting for Riley, the sap.

I also enjoy the idea he watches GG, I would agree he would be a Nate stan >.<

[bellonablack.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you're back !!! I grinned hen I read that comment earlier!:) *yay*

For the meme:

Same old for the first one backstory backstory of older characters. I have felt so cheated in the past there.

And the second:

Selina Kyle or Harley Quinn :)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

HELLO! <3 I am back indeed. And there was much rejoicing <3

Hmmmmm. SELINA, shall we.

Selina ADORES Katherine (and think she'd also kick ass like a burglar dresses as a cat) and ships Katherine/Damon because she adores their chemistry and their sexy witty banter. Also when Katherine gives up what she worked for for 500 years (getting rid of Klaus) and risks her own survival to save Damon, Selina's usually cold heart melts a little <3

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE BACK

My love for trashy teen romances with heroines I dislike and poorly executed predictable love triangles knows no boundaries <33333

TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

lol Eragon. I loved those books when I was younger. I'm not exactly sure that was cool, but whatever~

Congrats on the icon awards! They deserved them.

2. Elena Gilbert, yo.

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

I AM INDEED

Oh you :D

I'm not sure of anything, really. Other than there are some cool characters and I like fantasy and it's cute and it's been a long since I read something with a "grand epic adventure" feel to it. I like it.

<3

Hm, Elena, Elena. I think she might ship Michelle/Tony. Not really sure why. Other than seeing some parallel to Stefan's abuse and Michelle/Tony. Guh. Also, Boone/Shannon. Shannon reminds her so much of how ~carefree and easy going she used to be and sometimes wishes she could be again, and Boone is a great guy who keeps trying to save Shannon and loves her a lot, but also calls her out on her stupidity sometimes. She enjoys the dynamic. And in the end, Shannon's the one with the power, and she likes seeing female characters like that. (OH SHIT I chose this without realizing the other half of the ship is Ian. /whatever)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

also maybe, maybe, maybe she'd ship Chuck/Blair. Maybe.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

I think she might ship Michelle/Tony. Not really sure why. Other than seeing some parallel to Stefan's abuse and Michelle/Tony.

You DIDN'T. LOL. I always thought Tony was more like Damon, actually. One of my friends once said that Damon is "the best/worst, in a Tony Stonem kind of way." Anyway, I think you might have ruined Michelle/Tony for me now. :P (JK. I think. Though at least with Michelle/Tony, the dude is overtly painted as an abusive douche. But whatever, now is not the time to revisit my Elena/Stefan rage.)

(OH SHIT I chose this without realizing the other half of the ship is Ian. /whatever)

ROTFLMFAO X298323922O32. You DIDN'T (again I say). lol, I also appreciate that if you just took out the "great guy" part, you would have a perfect description of Damon/Elena. ;)

BUT OH MY GOD WHY WOULD ELENA SHIP CHUCK/BLAIR EXPLAIN YOURSELF. :S

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Thankyou!

It really is fun. This girl asked Why? no matter what I said and kept asking and seemed really interested in things around her and constantly wanted to do things and guh <3

ME TOO <3
