There have been too many posts rattling around my head, so I thought I'd do a point post where I cover all of them briefly.
- I'll only post from Dreamwidth (dw) from now onwards, but I'll crosspost entries on life and fannish squee. And probably Bleach fic. Once I untangle my head, I'll be getting a paid account and reading the lj f-list from dw too. Don't worry, the f-locked stuff is safe, and you can read why with
this unofficial handy guide- Again, if anyone wants dw codes, just holler - I still have a few.
- Sometime during a group movie watching with Mari and Ten last last weekend, I ended up falling in love with Star Trek again. Only this time, it's not a hot Vulcan that's taking up the headspace, but a grouchy doctor. *sighs dreamily over McCoy and his voice*
- Unfortunately, my love for McCoy didn't prevent me from being temporarily distracted by Kayla Silverfox from the Wolverine movie (which is a bad movie with an awesome story). Because Kayla Silverfox is exactly the type of character I like to write - a person who builds an exterior of lies and questionable morals in order to protect her tender heart. Alas, there are only so many hours in a day.
- I've been using most of those hours to read Star Trek movie fanfic. Where I KEEP TRIPPING OVER THE SLASH. Now I love slash and would probably ship Kirk/Spock like burning if not for the fact that no one has successfully managed to break up Spock/Uhura without STABBING MY HEART INTO A MILLION PIECES.
- So I decided to coin the term BFFB, which stands for Best Friends Forever with Benefits. Because who says you have to give up romance for bromance or vice-versa? A HEART HAS MANY ROOMS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOVING.
- Which is totally exemplified by Batman and Spiderman in the
Marvel/DC review/parody videos by ItsJustSomeRandomGuy. Slash googles set off while watching Batman declare he's gonna help Spiderman remember his marriage? OMG THERE'S HET IN MY SLASH! THEY MUST BE BFFB!
- So yeah, Kirk/Spock are BFFB in my universe. And Kirk/McCoy. Even though I find the majority of Kirk/McCoy too fluffy.
- However, in a Star Trek Alternate Reality fic I may or may not be writing, I've got Kirk/McCoy overtures and fluff. Although the Kirk/McCoy is angsty and the fluff is actually for the McCoy/Chapel. (Yes yes I whore out the characters I love. SHUSH. Especially you Ichigo. XD)
- Again with the movies: I went out with ex-classmates to watch Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief today. It put in mind a comment that I'd read about how special effects have increased by a million times, but acting has degraded by just as much. Either that or scriptwriters are getting worse, the ex-classmates and I haven't decided. For example, chemistry between characters is not enhanced by the line - "I have strong feelings for you. I haven't decided if they're positive or negative."
- Ex-classmates proved their awesomeness during chat over McDonalds' sundaes by talking about, in no particular order: whether guns or swords were more practical for demigods living in modern times, bad movie plots, how bad the Twilight movie and books were, arguments of what elements a Japanese manga should have (One of the suggestions: at least one betrayal and one death), what sort of teachers one should date, gossip about mutual friends
- Experiencing ennui due to me doing the same old things while everyone else seems to be changing. That having been said though, I want to paraphase a post from my f-list that has since disappeared - "it may not be the best, but it's
enough". And that's really the way I feel.
But should that be the way things are?
