SET FIIIIRE TO THE RAAAAIN
1. A DRAFT A DRAFT I FINISHED A FUCKING DRAFT. It is 32,000 goddamn words long. I ... am not quite sure what to do with myself while it is with the betas, but I am fairly sure the answer is "Be a productive member of society," not "Write Sif/Darcy fic."
2. There is apparently a wine that tastes like red velvet cupcakes? I am not at all sure how anyone has managed to create such a thing, but it does exist, and it is delightful. Alas I do not have proper red velvet cupcakes to eat while I drink it, but I am fairly sure I will be able to survive this sad lack.
3. Vid recs!
a. Set Fire to the Rain, a Thor/Loki vid that makes me laugh a lot but also gives me FEEEELINGS, because I am ridiculous. You should watch it because it is the most happy-making thing possible.
b. Along with the rest of my rlist, I am here to tell you to run, not walk, to watch The Price and to read the accompanying meta about manpain. I actually like the meta more than the vid, if only because it makes me think about things in depth rather than just wanting to PUNCH THE SCREEN. But the vid is also excellent, and a bit hilarious at the end.

3. Omg, yes, both of those vids, and the meta, are all awesome things. I have watched Set Fire to the Rain a possibly ridiculous number of times, and although I haven't done the same with the manpain vid and meta, I have certainly been spending a lot of time thinking about them!
no subject
And yeah, The Price isn't really ... for fun rewatching! But it does make one very thinky. :)
no subject
The thing I found most fascinating about watching The Price is that I found myself getting teary-eyed while watching it, just as I would if I were watching some of those scenes in their original contexts -- even divorced, and put into an extremely meta-y vid like this, I'm still so conditioned to respond to that manpain. Because they're in pain! And I feel sad for them! Even WHILE I am rolling my eyes at the ridiculousness! Yeah, so that was disconcerting to discover.
no subject
Ohhh, wow, that is interesting! I didn't have that reaction, actually -- I mostly wanted to shake the screen. I think I was saved by the fact that I am so, so over Ten's manpain that it sort of colored everything else.
no subject
Oh, I wanted to shake the screen AT THE SAME TIME that I was getting teary-eyed! But then I am a person who cries pretty easily, and at times that do not entirely merit that much of an emotional reaction, and this tendency is something that I'm pretty sure is worse since I had that concussion. So that's probably a large part of it. But still! Even though it was an involuntary bodily reaction, that involuntary bodily reaction was still obviously affected by the pathos of the manpain. *sigh*

okay
So I haven't really been planning on not watching Thor, I just kind of haven't gotten around to it

EEEEEEEEEEEE

IF YOU WANT TO YELL ABOUT IT WITH ME AFTERS PLEASE FEEL FREE
no subject
Okay and I mean based on the internet precedent I will probably have to TALK ABOUT MY FEEEELINGS after
no subject
I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO WRITE ACTUAL THOUGHTS IN THE MORNING
BUT I HAVE SOME YELLS THAT I NEED TO GET OUT BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP
His eyes. This is a completely new level of puppy-dog eyes. Like. Loki could make million begging on the streets just by STARING AT PEOPLE. I am kind of confused as to how he actualy grew up human-looking? (Or, um, norse god-looking?) when he's actually Laufey's child. Or did I miss something and he's actually some kind of half-breed? Or did Odin just use speshul magik to make him prettier? (If so, I do not disapprove!)
I don't even KNOW how I feel about the ending. Because, you know, I was hoping that this would be the one time in all of ever where the weird skinny brainy one would come out on top of, or at least equal with, the brawny heroic one. Alas, it was not to be.
Hug count:
Loki: 1
Thor: Greater than 1
SO UNFAIR.
...no Loki icon yet, maybe tomorrow.
no subject
Re: Loki looking Asgardian -- um, presumably it is something Odin did to him? Alternately, he is Laufey's child WITH ODIN -- this is not even remotely canon, but in the shooting script (that has lines that were cut from the theatrical release) it is at the very least extremely strong subtext. So really he's either a half-breed or it's magic, take your pick!
And yeah. Yeah, maybe if some people had GIVEN LOKI HUGS. Seriously, I ended up writing 32,000 freaking words about how things might have turned out mildly better if someone (besides Frigga that one time, YAY FRIGGA YOU ARE THE BEST MUM) gave Loki hugs.

OKAY, YOU KNOW IT IS SLASHY WHEN I CAN SEE THE SLASH ON FIRST GLANCE. AND THIS IS THE FIRST ANYTHING I HAVE SEEN OF THOR THE MOVIE.
OBVIOUSLY THIS ENTIRE MOVIE IS ABOUT THE TRAGIC LOVE BETWEEN TWO ADOPTED BROTHERS WHO HAVE A TRULY HORRIBLE FATHER, AND ONE OF THEM DESPERATELY WANTS THE APPROVAL OF THE OTHER AND WANTS TO IMPRESS HIS FATHER AND HIS FAMILY AND HE CAAAAAAN'T AND EVERYONE LOVES HIS BIG BLOND ATHLETIC BRO BETTER THAN ANYTHING, AND I WANT TO SLAP HALF OF ASGARD NOW.
Also, Loki clearly falls into the Methos category of "skinny dark-haired guys with brains and snark who are anything but heroes." AND IF I HAD A KINK, THAT WOULD BE IT.
P.S. This means that I have seen the Thor/Loki vid and want more. Also, why have I not seen any Loki icons?
no subject
Because in fact your entire capslock paragraph is, um, as far as I know it is in fact what the film is about! And why I have written a truly alarming amount of words about Loki! And and yes.
I don't know if you had any plans to see Thor, but if you can, you definitely should. :D
Here is a Loki icon for your viewing pleasure! Alas, I only have the one, but I am sure there are others floating around there in the wilds of the internet.

Loki and Spiderman sitting on top of a building eating hot dogs. And bonding.
