Oh, life...

First, the most important thing you'll see today, stolen from [livejournal.com profile] anythingbutgrey:



I really hate the way he says her name. And I love that this vid of ridiculousness is really a feminist statement (no really. It is).



In other news, I have seven million things I need to do today, but I need something to distract me when I take breaks in between the seven million things. This will take little to no real creativity, but it will be fun, so let's go with this meme, okay? And remember, I have a huuuuge amount of fandoms, so you might want to check out my profile and find them.

gakked from [livejournal.com profile] that_september (but slightly modified because I'm me):

Ask me a fandom, and I will tell you:

+ OTP
+ Runner-up
+ Honorable mention(s)
+ Crack pairing(s)/ crossover pairing(s)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't


Have fun!

Dear god, I have to say that I hate the way he says her name, too. I'd been thinking about checking out the show cause I know quite a few people who are fangirling all over it, and now I can say that impulse has been killed quite dead. Thank you.

Meme - Harry Potter.

Just watched the first episode and I don't know if he's supposed to be that creepy but he is. I take it it isn't toned down in the later episodes? :/ It's less squicktastic than Twilight because they're both adults but...still!

For the meme, Veronica Mars

Well, there are some great things about the show. It's just that the main characters aren't necessarily one of them. The side characters are consistently fantastic, and it's been a long time since I've been as invested in a character arc as I am in Jason Stackhouse's. So...pros and cons. Though I definitely don't blame you for not wanting to watch after this!

Harry Potter
OTP: Ron/Hermione
Runner-up: Andromeda/Ted (no, seriously)
Honorable Mentions: Remus/Tonks, Bill/Fleur, Luna/Neville
Crack pairings/Crossover pairings: Draco Malfoy/Blair Waldorf, Faith Lehane/Charlie Weasley (I really need to get on that one)
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Anything involving Snape.

No, I really don't think he is. Really, it's kind of like with Edward...you get the impression that the creator really has no idea just how creepy he is. Apparently in the books, she has a new love interest in every book, but I don't think that's carrying over to the show.

And no, it isn't toned down. She does, on occasion, stand up for herself and let him have it, but I really hate vampire!Bill. Of course, I'm not crazy about Sookie either, so I mostly ignore them and focus on the awesome side characters.

Veronica Mars
OTP: Veronica/Logan (yeah, I know; I'm predictable)
Runner-up: Mac/Cassidy (I'm still in mourning!)
Honorable Mentions: Keith/Alicia (I really, really wanted Veronica and Wallace to be step-siblings!), Clarence Wiedman/Silencer (um...I'm weird)
Crack pairing/Crossover pairing: It's not a pairing because I don't ship it in a sexual/romantic way, but word cannot describe how much I squeed with joy whenever Cassidy and Kendall interacted. Love love love! Also, I always wanted Wallace to find a girl who deserved him....Jackie doesn't count.

Lmao! I love that video so muuch! The way he says her name always annoys me. And Eric at the end is just perfect. =]

And...Gilmore Girls.

Isn't it hilarious?

I don't ship Eric/Sookie, mostly because I can't see what it is he sees in her at all, but I like him as a character 1000x more than Bill, and I love that he has the last word in the vid! Makes me happy!

Gilmore Girls
OTP: Rory/Jess
Runner-up: Lorelei/Luke
Honorable Mentions: Sookie/Jackson (too. cute.), Richard/Emily, Lane/Zack (apparently, I have a great fondness for any character played by Todd Lowe), Michel/His accent, Gil/His hair
Crack pairings/Crossover pairings: I think Taylor and Kirk's love was epic. ;)
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Rory with anyone but Jess

LOL, that video. I don't even know what to think except two things:

a) I really, really don't like the name Sookie, and
b) I especially really, really don't like the way Bill says Sookie, lol.

And haha, I'm predictable, but...Firefly. :P

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2009-09-28 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha! I actually used to like the name Sookie (probably because when I was little, my grandmama used to play the piano for us and we'd all sing, and there was this one song about a girl named Sookiee...long story), but he has RUINED IT FOREVER.

Hee! Predictability's fine! I was predictable with the one I asked you for, right?

Firefly:
OTP: Wash/Zoe
Runner-up: Mal/Inara
Honorable Mention: Simon/Kaylee
Crack pairing/Crossover pairing: River Tam/Dean Winchester
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Mal/River, River/Simon (incest is never, ever going to be my thing)

[identity profile] that-september.livejournal.com 2009-09-28 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, aww, well I'm sorry Bill ruined a name for you! Even more reason to stake slap him! If Edward Cullen were more southern and less sparkly, I think this would be the result. The major reason I like True Blood way more than Twilight is because Sookie actually stands up for herself and isn't afraid to "disobey" Bill, no matter how annoying I find her sometimes.

And aww, yay!! I love Wash/Zoe, too. They were the best married couple ever. And ooh, River/Dean...interesting. I'd never thought much about that. I'm kind of a Dean/Kaylee girl when it comes to crossovers, but I really, really like the idea of River with him now that I'm thinking about it.

Don't worry, I don't like Mal/River, either - I never understood that one, and anyway, Mal is old enough to be her dad (which kind of squicks me). Incest will never be my thing either. *shudder*

Lmfao, sorry to intrude on this thread, but I just saw your honorable mentions. Michele/His accent and Gil/His hair?

I LOVE YOU.

(And Taylor and Kirk's love was indeed epic. Almost as epic as Taylor and Luke's secret love. *snort*)

Ahahahaha THAT VIDEO! :Giggles madly: That so made my day. Totally relaxed me. Awesomeness, thanks for posting!

Kirk and Taylor are epic!

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2009-10-09 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha! So glad you enjoyed them! I love you, too!

f Edward Cullen were more southern and less sparkly, I think this would be the result. Indeed!

Bill infuriates me not only because of that constant AH MUST PRATECT SUCKY! bit but also because he never gets it. She doesn't listen to him a thousand times, and he still keeps trying. It's infuriating!

Well, I've written River/Dean, which is usually what it takes to make me really get into a pairing. But I think Dean/Kaylee would make for fun fic--not an ongoing relationship, I don't think, but a fun fling where neither one gets hurt and they both have fun.

Mal is old enough to be her dad (which kind of squicks me). Incest will never be my thing either. *shudder* Oh, amen.

Yay! So glad you enjoyed it!
