afterallthistime: (what's my perversion?)
1. Just bought my tickets to "Frankenstein" at Coolidge Corner on June 17th -- Benedict is The Creature in this showing, and I am SO very excited about going and seeing it with other fans. We're still debating what to do afterwards, but hanging out at a coffee/tea house seems to be the frontrunner right now, and likely at some point we'll splinter off into smaller groups until everyone needs to get on their way, and whatever happens will be awesome, because we are an awesome, rockin' group of lads and ladies ♥

2. HOLY CRAP, HOUSE. I thought I stopped caring about you. I though after the fuckery of Season Seven, I didn't give a crap anymore. And now, you throw all this at me...? My OTP -- my mother of ALL OTPs -- is basically a hair's breath away from canon, and you drop this fucking bombshell? )

3. My Tumblr dash is still ALL Avengers, and I am super, super psyched to see it again this Saturday with some friends (and maybe go out for shwarma afterwards, woo! The PERFECT dinner/movie tie-in). I'm kind of afraid the Thorki pairing is giving me all variety of inappropriate kinks (*cough* "Milk it Clean" *cough* muzzle!porn *cough*), but Tumblr is doing nothing but encouraging them, and oh God, I all kinds of love them for it. The memes and crossover .gif sets and stuff are just AMAZING too, like, this fandom has a fantastic sense of humor and some crazy funny, smart, and talented fans. I love how everyone has basically adopted Steve Rogers as their puppy dog ("I'm sorry Mr. Rogers, but you're the sickest man in America. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING.") And for the record, while I love all three characters, I can so much more clearly see Tony/Bruce than Tony/Steve. I know that's the classic pairing, but... seriously, Science!Boyfriends forever.

4. I AM NEVER GOING TO CATCH UP ON KORRA D: Where are people downloading it!?!?

5. COMMUNITY HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR A FOURTH SEASON! It's on Friday nights now?? At least it's not opposite Big Bang Theory anymore, which might help it ratings-wise, but honestly, not owning a TV, I have no idea what it WILL be up against??? Every episode since the hiatus has been golden, and I'm glad it's getting another season. We have an epic THREE episodes in a row this Thursday, closing out the season, and I am PSYCHED.

That's it, I'm chillin', my evening run was done in by the rain, soon I'll shower and make tea and hit the hay, but right now I'm relaxing, Tumblr-ing, and figured I'd check in here. Hope all is well, I'll be back for realsies soon.

Stolen rather shamelessly from [livejournal.com profile] vickyblueeyez. For a few of these, I had to really delve back into "fandoms gone by," to be honest.

Top 5 Straight Ships


1. Niles/Daphne (Frasier) (Always and forever; I shipped this like it was my friggin' job, guys)

2. Tim/Dawn (The Office) (I love Jim and Pam, don't get me wrong, but Tim/Dawn holds my heart)

3. Erik/Christine (Phantom of the Opera)

4. Jeff/Britta (Community) (But then again, I basically ship everyone/everyone on Community)

5. I can't think of shit. (Not my answer, originally, but I'll go with it.)



Top 5 Gay (male/male) Ships


1. Sherlock/John (Sherlock) ("Till the end of my days."* [sob])

2. House/Wilson (House) (If I shipped Niles/Daphner like it was job, I shipped House/Wilson like it was my religion)

3. Troy/Abed (Community)

4. Shawn/Lassiter (Psych)

5. Simon Pegg/Nick Frost (everything they've ever done together)

GUYS, DOCTOR WHO COMES BACK TOMORROW *DANCES* Honestly, I thought initially we were going to have to wait until October (because I swear I heard that somewhere...?), so getting it back again this week is awesome (especially since I will likely be homebound Sunday, since MA has already declared a state of emergency in anticipation of Hurricane Irene).

Also, the episode is called "Let's Kill Hitler." How can you not love that? New DW trailer! )

The earlier than (I) anticipated return of DW almost makes up for the ridiculous Sherlock delay.

Speaking of Sherlock:

Waking You Up, by brbsoulnomming at AO3. This was a kick in the gut, along the lines of "Alone on the Water," but there are some twists in there that make this very worth reading. If I say any more I will spoil it. Please read. It's so well done.

and stand there at the edge of my affection, by coloredink once again at AO3 (BTW, for the handful of fen who haven't visited AO3, go, go, go). This is cute and fluffy and manages to be in-character and I'm really not one for fluff, but for some reason, um, this fandom writes it so I like it? Sherlock asks John for help in writing a love letter. Very cute.

Oh, and in tangentially Sherlock-related news: HOUSE. Anyone who knows me knows I was severely disappointed in the last season, for various reasons (which I won't get into). BUT -- it looks like House is actually going to go to prison for his actions in the last episode (which, by the way, was one of three I saw last season). I've been hearing rumors, though no one will confirm or deny anything, that this may be the last season as well, so I feel compelled -- as someone who used to be deeply involved with the fandom (albeit as a passive participant) -- to watch, at least for a little while. House Season 8 teaser trailer! )

Seeing the trailer for Season Eight made me ridiculously nostalgic for the show as it once was, and for the old House/Wilson dynamic, so here is a classic piece of H/W fanfic, one of the first I read in the fandom and still one of my favorites: Blow the Candles Out by [livejournal.com profile] bethfrish. (This one is rated R, but I think it's tastefully done, and it's really only one scene). Six years later, and I still read it and feel blown away.
