three things. three AWESOME things.

[aria]

1. The Avatar: The Last Airbender sequel miniseries seems to be officially confirmed! I am so, so excited to see our kids' legacy and the shape of that world in a hundred years.

2. Secret wall art is real!! Here is a whole gallery of it. I am so excited for the next time I end up in a hotel now, although I assume that not every hotel will have awesomeness lurking on the walls.

3. (Link text is spoilery for DeKay's opinions on plot matters.) A quote from this interview with Tim DeKay:

"To me, [Neal and Peter] like each other. They've admitted they are friends and they care about each other more than just professionally. But I think if both of them completely trust each other, like a love story where two people haven't gotten together in a romantic comedy series, if they completely trust each other than those two will have gotten in bed and we don't quite want that yet. We want to hold that as long as we can."

Let's go through this again, shall we? If they trust each other completely they'll sleep together and we don't want that YET. There has to be a word for that sublime moment when subtext becomes text, and no, Word of Gay is not the phrase I am searching for, although the meaning is very close.

WHAT. WHAT!!!

What with this and Big Eden, I really cannot love Tim, much less the show, more than I already do. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

[aria]

Your icon is precious. <3

And I I just. TIM SHIPS PETER/NEAL. Hell, I'm pretty sure he ships the OT3. WHAT IS THIS EVEN.

[alpheratz]

And your icon is the prettiest family photo ever. TIM DEKAY CERTAINLY THINKS SO.

[sophia-sol.livejournal.com]

...
...
...I am speechless. HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT OMG. *is dead of the awesome*

[aria]

I KNOW, RIGHT? I CAN'T EVEN.

Sophia why do I have so many fandoms?? I WANT TO WRITE ALL THE FIC.

[sophia-sol.livejournal.com]

It is a big problem! And kind of an unsolvable one when the fandoms keep being THIS AWESOME.

(seriously. STILL DEAD.)

[oldstarnewshine]

Is there an emoticon for your jaw literally dropping? O_O just doesn't seem shocked enough. I hope he knows he can't just SAY things like that for fear of breaking fragile fangirl hearts.

I AM EXCITE for a new Avatar series, but I'm not sure I can handle EVERYONE WE KNOW BEING DEAD.

[aria]

...I am trying to figure out what that emoticon would be, but I'm coming up blank. Maybe if you did O_O in size 70 font? And god, I know! The things you do to us, Tim DeKay.

Re: Avatar, yeeeeah. I mean, my love of worldbuilding is greater than my need for familiar faces, but it'll still be hard! On the other hand: King Bumi was Aang's friend a hundred years ago and still a sprightly old man in the series, so now I am holding out hope for very old, very awesome Toph to have a cameo or something.

[sentientcitizen]

Aaah! Aaah, mini-series! *flail of glee*

Also the more I hear about White Collar, the more I think I really need to watch it. There is not enough time in life for all the good TV, not to mention books and music and, you know, basic hygeine and feeding oneself and not flunking out of school, and other piddling things.

[aria]

I am not sure if you have seen all the promo stuff that is floating around, but it looks so awesome.

White Collar is pretty great! I mean, it really is just cute case-of-the-week, but the characters are awesome and the slash is strong.

my... revolution icon???

[anekdot]

I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive about the idea of a sequel, because the last time a series I watched and enjoyed got a sequel we ended up with Yu-gi-oh GX!, but now I see that our heroine (!!) apparently looks badass even from behind and also skjgksdjhks STEAMPUNK (not that the Fire Nation wasn't already pretty damn steampunk, but you) and most importantly, REVOLTS??????

*_*

DON'T FUCK THIS UP GUYS!!!!!

Re: my... revolution icon???

[aria]

KORRA LOOKS LIKE SUCH A HOTASS. AND THAT IS FROM THE BACK. As you say. :D

I am mostly fascinated by all the little worldbuilding tidbits we have so far. Like: there is a steampunk Republic City where benders of all sorts live in apparent harmony except now there is violence against them! Teenage Korra already has three elements down! Aang and Katara's son is the only airbender around to teach her? THIS TELLS ME ABOUT SO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE INTERVENING SEVENTY YEARS.

Also, my secret desire is for Toph to cameo as the most badass old lady in ever.

Re: my... revolution icon???

[anekdot]

I AM SO EXCITED FOR HER TO KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES. *_* Although I really really hope she isn't related to Sokka, just because I hate Hereditary Protagonist-ism, and also we already have Aang's son. I DO, HOWEVER, WANT SOKKA TO HAVE BEEN A CRAZY COMMUNAL GRANDFATHER WHO TALKED HER EAR OFF ABOUT HIS AWESOME ADVENTURES OF AWESOMENESS (and the Avatar tagged along or something, whatever), AND TEACHES HER THE MAGIC OF BOOMERANGBENDING WHICH IS VASTLY SUPERIOR TO ALL THIS HOOKY MAGIC STUFF.

I was already having tiny plotgasms just from the tidbits we got, but then I read in an interview that 1930s Shanghai was an inspiration for Republic City and now I'm just dead of joy forever.

I personally believe in Toph as the world's most badass old lady as canon ANYWAY. STILL WINNING EARTH RUMBLE IN HER EIGHTIES. Are you going to argue???

[carrieann]

Oooooh. The new Avatar looks interesting. She's obviously Water Tribe (by the outfit and the Avatar line). What would be even more awesome? If she was Sokka's granddaughter!

[aria]

I think this is a sort of collective desire at this point. I hope she's Sokka's granddaughter. :D

[nextian]

Oh Tim DeKay, ye know not how your analogies will be taken as fact. Or maybe you do know in which case CONGRATS ON BEING THE FIRST PERSON INVOLVED IN THE SHOW TO ACTUALLY WATCH THE SHOW.

Korrrrraaaaaa. I've already developed like a book and a half of mental
characterization. Toph knocked Sokka up callously! Passionate and rebellious mean hilarious and stubborn! YOU CAN'T TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE YET

[aria]

YOUR ICON TERRIFIES ME.

Ohhhhhh Tim DeKay. <333 IDK, though, you should hear some of the stuff Jeff Eastin says. I am not sure he knows what a kinky show he is making, but I am fairly sure he is clear on how slashy it is.

KORRAAAAAAAAA. She is clearly Sokka's granddaughter, but right now I am going to assume that it is with Suki and that Toph is somewhere, lurking, just waiting to have the MOST AWESOME CAMEO EVER.

[nextian]

I HAVE WORSE IN MY ARSENAL.

I actually (more seriously) kind of hope she's not Sokka's granddaughter because I'd like the implication not to be that being the Avatar is somehow hereditary (yes I know that's not how inheritance works, but.) And of COURSE Sokka married Suki, I just like the image of Toph pulling a When You're Expecting on Sokka.

[starlady]

ATLA hooray!

Secret hotel wall art is almost enough to make me sad that I don't really stay in hotels. Almost.

Re: White Collar, wow. Just wow. Awesome wow, to be sure. As if I weren't going to be glued to the screen this season anyway...

[aria]

I am so excited. :DDD

I -- I want the part where they trust each other! Because Tim DeKay has promised us that when they trust each other, they will fall into bed! This is relevant to my interests.

[ste_noni]

I hardly know what to say about Tim DeKay except that i love him and I love this show.

I watched last season in about 5 weeks, coming in part way in. It's HARD to wait an entire week between episodes.

[aria]

It is THE BEST.

And oh yeah, the week wait between episodes is a bit agonizing. Why can we not have it all at once??

[entropical]

EVERY TIME I READ IT IT GETS MORE AMAZING. I officially love Tim DeKay. Like, I did before? But now it comes with a notarized certificate.

[aria]

*dies* YES, EXACTLY.

[alwayswondered]

ILU Tim DeKay! I want to READ ALL THE FICS now! (And WATCH ALL THE SHOW.)

It's sort of like a Gayness Event Horizon, beyond which, there is no escaping the gay. IT'S ALL AROUND YOU. Not that anyone would want to escape the gay, of course. The gay is most of the reason I want to watch the show.

[aria]

I want to write ALL THE FICS now, my god. (Also, I ... may be making this up, but I am under the impression that you have not watched much/any White Collar? If I am right, THIS MUST BE REMEDIED. If not, feel free to laugh and ignore me.)

I -- I love the idea of a gayness event horizon. I love it.

[alwayswondered]

I haven't watched ANY! :O I can't get it legally in the UK yet. I am on ur flist wantin ur show. D:

I love TIM DEKAY! And also subtext-rapidly-becoming-text. HUZZAH.

[skipthedemon]

This entry makes me very very happy!

[aria]

Yay! Well, it is full of happymaking things. :D

[oliviacirce]

OH MY GOD TIM DEKAY HOW ARE YOU REAL? ♥____♥

[aria]

I am beginning to suspect he was assembled by fangirl committee.
