stuff + memes

[janie_tangerine]

1. Okay, so, from tomorrow to the day after I'm on a leave of absence because I'm taking a flash trip with _izu_ and marlonob to see Duff McKagan + Loaded in concert somewhere near Modena, and I just hope no one posts everything important I might miss. ;)

2. That said, I probably will have another ficlet for the darned alphabet meme later. I can finish that, can I?

3. Memes galore because today I'll need to take breaks from the awesomeness that it's computers in relation to philosophical texts. What joy.

3a. This from invisiblelove:

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

LOL. Well, this one is mostly because I needed a funny SPN icon and as soon as I saw it I had to grab it. It's a quote from Buffy (which I didn't watch) but come on, it's SO PERFECT for Castiel. I still giggle anytime I look at it, and the actual composition is lovely.

Well, that speaks for itself. I always have a Des + blue shirt icon in rotation, and that one had also the personal jesus line which is just perfect for him, I had to grab it. *loves*

This has more than one reason. First, IT'S GORGEOUS. Look at it. Just look at it. The composition and the coloring is pure genius and I just love it. THEN, look at the meaning. I mean, it's one of my favorite scenes in Lost ever and I just don't like Locke well enough anymore to have my Locke icon without Boone in and that part was just... guh. Also, I love that episode. And also, he needs to clean his own mess.

This... well, it's fairly uncomplicated. I need a Vincent icon and I needed a porn icon too, so I found it and took it because it fit perfectly. ;)

Aw, I love this one so much. It's my second Lost OTP and while it's not the main one I use for the pairing it's just... AWWWW. The stick figures are SO CUTE and they're HAND HOLDING and they're freighty love!! *melts*

by lasamy

I won't ever, ever change this one. Apart from it being PERFECT, it's my OTP, my favorite scene in the history of Lost ever, the defining turning point of my fandom life and come on, the composition and coloring and text are gorgeous and so well put. I ♥ it. Seriously.

3b. This from... like, everyone.

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom. -> usually, my scoops imply that I like slash way more than any canon pairings, but still.

3c. This from elliotsmelliot:

Choose one of the TV shows, movies or books you know I’m familiar with, and I’ll tell you which character I’d pick for the following:

Best & Worst Roommate:
Best & Worst Neighbour:
Best & Worst Houseguest:
Who would I get to help me garden?
Who would I get to help me decorate?
Who would I get to help me with any repairs/renovations?
Who would I get to help me move?
Who would I trust to sell me the property?
Who would I invite over for my first dinner?

4. Okay, I'm off to buy groceries and then studying and then editing stuff. -nod-

Nah, not a lot really. ;) Okay, icons!





About my unpopular DT opinions (for anyone who might be reading, BIG SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING...)

1) I dunno how much of an unpopular opinion it is, but I hated the last half of the last book with a vengeance and the epilogue was the part I hated most. The whole loop thing was just the obvious way to end it and it was also cruel IMHO, while the epilogue was a) cheesy, b) a cheat, c) the best way to cheapen Eddie and Jake's deaths which I'd have been way, way more fine with if they had just stayed that way and d) the worst, worst possible cheapening of Susannah's character he could have ever done. I liked Susannah a lot up until the end, but the bare fact that she left, what she did in the epilogue and the bare fact that she got together with not-Eddie when the real one had said he was going to wait for her in the afterlife was enough to make me want to scream. (By they way: yes, I'm way more attached to Eddie than it'd be sanely reasonable.)

2) I love Detta Walker. For how much I can like Susannah, she totally was the best of all Susannah's personalities including her saner one and Mia. Detta was such a riot, I ♥ her. Not to mention that she had guts, she also slashed like woah and she pwned at maths. In Song Of Susannah she was my hero.

3) I probably am the only person in the world who doesn't think that Mordred was totally ludicrous part of the plot, at least until that ridiculous final scene. I thought that the idea was good and that there was the potential and that if he had just done some slight more work on the spider/guy (and actually if he had NOT forgotten to mention him for four hundred pages or something) he wasn't THAT bad of a character. Then there was that fight in the end which was anticlimatic and completely pointless, not to mention that anyone able to kill Flagg should have been so easy to put down.

3b. I didn't hate Flagg getting offed as soon as it happened; I DEEPLY regretted his loss after said ridiculous Mordred resolution of the plotline up there.

[PS: I actually LOVE everything in the books up to the last half of the seventh. I'm actually not that bitchy, usually. ;)]

2) LOST:

Best & Worst Roommate: Boone for best (hey, I'd totally humor him and pay attention and try to get him into my bed asap *cough* and we'd have awesome times together and WE'D GO TO MARCHES TOGETHER!!!), with Charlie as a second runner because I love bassists like woah and we'd hit off. Ben for worse because he'd totally try to mindfuck me over everything and I don't even like ham.
Best & Worst Neighbour: Best... Frank! We'd have awesome times together, and beer. Worst, probably Jack in his Nirvana!Jack phase, but then I'd probably go there and give him a hug or something. I ♥ Nirvana!Jack, lol.
Best & Worst Houseguest: best, Sayid because you know he'd totally be the perfect guest and he could cook and fix your shower if it broke. Worst, probably Kate. She'd run away in the middle of the night and bring kids and sincerely I don't like her enough and I don't like kids. ;)
Who would I get to help me garden? er, probably Desmond. Just for kicks.
Who would I get to help me decorate? er, uh, Shannon! Decorating looks like her thing, lol.
Who would I get to help me with any repairs/renovations? Sayid, of course! He's everyone's handyman after all.
Who would I get to help me move? Mr. Eko. He's tall and strong, he'd move all the furniture in a heartbeat. ;)
Who would I trust to sell me the property? er, probably Locke pre-crash.
Who would I invite over for my first dinner? Hurley, he'd be the only one to appreciate my cooking.

I liked the loop ending but I didn't really like the cheesey under the beam meet up "Look we have a dog! Just like Oy!" and I hated how she left! I just don't think the Susannah in the other books would have. I think my unpopular thing is I can't stand Roland's Susan. She's just there for sexing! I don't see her appeal at all, I ended up liking the aunt more.

OMG, Roommate Ben would be hilarious! You'd so end up doing the lions share of cleaning and rent paying. Then he'd kill your bunny and stab you in the throat.

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

I think I was too invested in Roland to like the loop ending. IDK, it just seemed unnecessary cruel to send him back there every time, and he wasn't even my favorite character but it just hit me in every single possible wrong way. And yeaaaah, THAT cheesy under-the-beam-meet-up was hideous. Blah. Susannah from the rest of the books wouldn't have done it, I agree. And LOL, well, I like Susan but for all I'm concerned Roland belongs with Eddie. ;) ;) ;)

Yeah, roommate Ben would do THAT exactly. Which is why I'll take Boone. ;)
