fumbling towards

First proper snow of winter! Weather.com insists we're only getting an estimated three inches, but at the bus stop this morning I would have guessed it was about five. Snow always puts me in a ridiculously good mood. And then I celebrate by listening to the Victoria's Secret instrumental music and lots of Sarah McLachlan. Shut up, it's great.

I've also been watching Lost Girl! I do not feel really fannish about it, but it's just so lovely and stupid and cute. Our two main characters are these great women who are BFFs and solve crime; I would ship them a lot except that there are also other good canonical femslash ships, and also a werewolf detective. A werewolf freaking detective. It's a lot of things I really love, like silly and nerdy and full of pretty people, and I think quality of life is improved by watching it.

Something I am feeling fannish about is Sarah Rees Brennan's Demon's Lexicon books, which I have finally, finally gotten around to reading. I'm in the middle of Demon's Covenant at the moment, and I am so ridiculously in love. The second I am done, I am tracking down all the fic! And then probably writing some! Because I ship EVERYTHING. (Well, not everything -- I mean, if there's Mae/Jamie I don't want to read it. But possibly my OTP is Nick/Alan. Shut up shut up I know.)

I guess the point of this post is that I have hilarious, ridiculous taste. Just to prove it beyond reasonable doubt, have a link to the University of Oregon all-male a cappella group On the Rocks performing Bad Romance. With dance routines. It is amazing, and watching it makes me grin hard enough to make my face hurt.

The Brown Derbies came to the Winter Weekend party last night. They did "Alejandro". In fact, they pretty much acted it out. It was pretty much the most awesome thing ever.

Male a cappella groups + Lady Gaga = ALWAYS GREAT.

TRUER WORDS. :D

Of course, this comment in conjunction with your Nightcrawler icon is making me imagine Xavier's School for the Gifted All-Male A Capella. Scott does arrangements. Bobby bullied John into joining. Gambit is totally into it; he and Kurt like to practice duets. And Logan mocks them loudly from the sidelines.

Piotr is totally in on it too, and I bet they convince Hank to join in sometimes.

Actually, Hank's probably their director. :D

Yesssssss. Besides, he likes to sing old timey music that the rest of them don't care about (but it's funny when he does the X-Men themed version of "Anything Goes").

This is swiftly becoming the cutest plotbunny ever.

If I thought I could write the X-Men at all I would totally run with it.

I bet the girls like to spy on practice. Definitely Kitty, at least. Storm tries to pretend she's above that, but it's really funny when Bobby hits falsetto.

WHY ARE YOU NOT BOTH WRITING ME BOBBY/JOHN >:( >:( >:(

. . . is apparently what I have to say about this post.
aria: ([misc] keep calm and call batman)

[personal profile] aria 2010-12-04 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Because if I am going to write comics canon things first, I would rather write about Batman? IDK! EVERYONE SHOULD WRITE BOBBY/JOHN.

. . . ARIA. Somehow my mind read this comment and translated it into an SPN context.

I've read that. It always ends badly, and yet I still want fic where the Winchesters Have Two Daddies.

[personal profile] feverbeats 2010-12-04 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
SHUT UP THEIR LOVE IS

UH

WELL

:( :( :(

okay, it always ends badly.

But I am reminded that I have a half-finished fic on my hard drive to that effect!

HILARIOUSLY WHEN I WAS TYPING THAT I WAS LIKE "WAIT ISN'T THAT ALSO AN SPN PAIRING MAYBE?" Oh internet osmosis.

[personal profile] feverbeats 2010-12-04 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's actually my SPN OTP that is not John/Dean um :D :D :D

This is reminding me that I have the weirdest personal X-Men canon ever. It's some weird mashup of movie and comicsverse.

[personal profile] feverbeats 2010-12-04 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh lol me too. I sometimes forget that other people don't. /o\

[personal profile] aria 2010-12-04 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Add X-Men: Evolution in there and that describes my personal canon. /o\

Ooh, good point. I think I like Evolution!Rogue and Scott better than any other version. (By which I mean, it is the only version where I don't want to punch Scott all the time.)
aria: (Default)

[personal profile] aria 2010-12-04 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I mean, I love Evolution!Rogue and movie!Rogue because I am so gay for Anna Paquin, but I'm with you on Scott. Poor Scott, everyone wants to punch him.

[personal profile] feverbeats 2010-12-04 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
BOTH OF YOU

ARE BAD PEOPLE

SCOTT. :( :( :( :(

POOR SCOTT EVERYONE WANTS TO PUNCH HIM :DDD

Okay fine Cyclops Cyclops blah blah.

[personal profile] feverbeats 2010-12-04 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
WELL JEEZ THEY CAN PUNCH ME >:D

But I really don't think Mr. Summers could handle it.

Except when having rough sex with Logan.

OH WHATEVER OPINIONS /o\

Logan's up for it after a couple of drinks. ``I'm the best at what I do, and what I do is... baritone''.
