between the candle and the star
i. Link o' the day, courtesy of seeing it in the National Gallery and having a good laugh with my parents, Giovanni Emo, by Bellini. "He looks emo!" my mum said, and though I am sad that Signore Giovanni doesn't come with scenester bangs, it's still hilarious.
ii. Hair is cut! Car is mostly unpacked! Room is a complete mess, but I am studiously ignoring it and instead doing my best to mainline the rest of Babylon 5 before I abscond for WisCon. Here's what I'm discovering, to my horror: I think I want to do watchalong meta commentary. For the whole thing. I just love it so much, and am so thinky about it, that I want an excuse to watch it again. And I don't yet know if I have a ficcing urge, but I definitely have a fannish urge, which during the summer -- or possibly for a much more extended period, now that I'm done with school unless and until I want a graduate degree -- also manifests as a write-lots-of-meta urge. Ahhhh.
iii. Relatedly, the clearest sign I am getting dangerously fannish about something: a poll!
I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS SHOW. :D (Except not about s5. Except for the part where I ship Londo/G'Kar every waking moment now. WHAT.)

Also, you are making me desperately want a million Delenn icons.

Otherwise, a lot of it is just older fic, from the '90s, when (from my own recollections) standards were generally lower, and stories were generally linear and fairly straightforward. Maybe I'll make a recs post...

If you did a fic recs post, I might in fact DIE OF JOY. (Right now, in fact, my plan is to read all your reaction posts the minute I finish the series, because if there is one thing I am craving more than fic, it is any tasty meta I can find.)

Well, when Delenn tells Sheridan that "three is sacred," his answer is that he's not ready for that, not an outright no. *evil grin* But I think Lennier's perception of Delenn and what she wants in a relationship is too far from her own reality, so the power imbalance between them is difficult to overcome.
