So all this talk of dreamwidth in Tumblr made me nostalgic, so I'm mostly writing this to manifest the Great Return of Fandom 2022. Pretty please.
So, hello, DW. It's been like, a decade.

well tumblr has exploded and it's a right blast from the past to end out here. hooray?
would be so okay with fandom coming back home here though, so here's hoping for more years of fic, bad television, good meta of bad television and hopefully less purity policing.

Oh, the pining
I wrote a thing! I wrote a LONG thing actually, and it is Steve/Bucky and it involves practice kissing and Bucky pining like an idiot and them making out during wartime. Yay!
400 words more and it would've been the longest thing I've ever written! Alas, it capped at 11,000 words. Of PINING.
And it’s just. It’s too much. Weeks of pain and months of missing Steve and his mouth and the stupid shit that comes out of it; years of molding himself to his back at night and pretending there’s nothing else to it apart from sharing warmth; a decade of his stomach twisting with the foolish desire to make Steve laugh.
:D

KISSING. ALL THE KISSING.

sazzlette, wrote a thing!
12,400 words of Steve and Bucky kissing accidentally until it's no longer accidental, in fact. <3 it was loads and loads of fun, and the first time i've written anything in like three or four years.
Bucky turns toward him, sliding his hand onto Steve’s hip as he mutters a lazy “G’night” and presses a soft kiss to the corner of Steve’s mouth. It takes him by surprise, and he barely has time to register Bucky’s half-closed eyes and the warmth of whiskey-ripe breath on his lips, before it’s over.
:D

Started reading The Magicians by Lev Grossman. I’ve heard… conflicting reviews about this. My Harry Potter and Peter Grant deprived head wants more magic books, but I’m 50 pages in and I already hate the stupid douchebag of a protagonist. Oh god I’m a well-off white male teenager being offered a ride to Princeton and everyone friendzones me! I’m so very, very unhappy! Eh. I’ll see if it gets better.
It has recently come to my attention that all of Marvel’s Chrises (plus one Chris Pine) are all Christophers. Is Christian as a name not popular in English-speaking countries then? Because my Mexican brain didn’t even think of Christopher as a possibility.
And so the week of wanting to be in Comic-Con and definitely not being in Comic-Con begins. SIGH. But hey, we’re finishing work earlier to do choripanes! Because - just because, it seems. And it’s not like I’m gonna oppose having argentinean bbqs instead of working.

I reached episode 7 of Hemlock Grove season 1 yesterday, and I’m SO PISSED OFF.

Going through the Dashcon tag seriously gave me life this weekend, and gave me hardcore flashbacks to the wanky days of fandom of novel-length BNF exposés. SIGH. I think the fantastically sad ball pit was the best part. I mean. IT DEFLATED. Hee.
I do feel bad for all the conned con goers (heh), especially as most of them seem to be kids, but god, did I laugh and laugh and laugh. BALL PIT. WE SHALL NEVER FORGET. XD
So the World Cup is over and while for the main part I don’t give a damn about football, I really like the excitement, atmosphere and craziness around it, so it’s a cool time. One of my bosses and my creative director are argentinean, so they’re sort of shuffling around today and refusing to talk about it, lol.

My parents got a treadmill! and it's built in a way I can put my tablet on it, so now I can exercise and watch mindless tv shows at the same time. SCORE.
So in that vein, I'm almost done with Arrow season 1. It's been more enjoyable since there hasn't been any island flashbacks. I fucking hate the island flashbacks. What's gonna be there next, flying monkeys? Flying ninja monkeys?? Everyone's a damned ninja there, I wouldn't put it out of the question.
I've always been really, really weirded out at how boring I find Laurel. I mean, she's a plucky, daring lawyer who sticks out for people who can't! She's like, the very definition of my kind of beloved character! And yet I find her super dull. I DON'T GET IT. I mean, Katie Cassidy is not the world's greatest actress, but she was actually pretty entertaining as Ruby? WHAT HAPPENED. Ah well.
In any case, Felicity was recently undercover in a casino putting her foot in her mouth and everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

It’s seriously really weird, but I’m super attracted to Mark Ruffalo - except when he’s Bruce Banner or being himself. He’s - sort of Dad-ish as himself, and Bruce is… Bruce Banner, and doesn’t ping my radar, but in every single other movie he’s ever made? OH YES. Especially in Brothers Bloom, oh my, ngggh. Even in Now You See Mee, which was a craptastic movie, he’s there to bring the hotness. It’s so damn bizarre.
So anyway, I understand north of the border there’s like a tiny celebration or something. I think Eagles and fireworks are involved. Have a good one, folks from the US.

So you should all go read this, for it is beautiful and so well written and a bit devastating. Peggy/Steve, Bucky/Steve. In which Steve jumps out of Shmidt's plane, marries Peggy, and has life and the 20th century happen to him. And life is hard.
A Long Winter
I've seriously been replaying bits of this in my head for hours, it was just really striking.

Yesterday’s Mexico match was crazy tense. One of my coworkers is the most football obsessed person I’ve ever met, and he seemed close to a goddamn heart attack. The memes about Saint Memo of the Goal were the best part though.
There’s now a second dog at work now! DOGGIES. They spend their days rough housing and chasing each other and rolling around in dirt and puddles. It’s so awesome.
Currently reading The Song of Achilles. I swear, this woman has to be writing fic somewhere out there. Probably about her own book. AWESOME. Seriously though, it does have the same sort of cadence as good fic in current fandom does, and I would not be surprised at all to find out she’s somewhere out there on the AO3. So, yeah, the book is all right so far. I do wish it was less coy with the sex scenes though…
Even though I don’t usually do the meme, it’s Wednesday, so:
What I just read: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, which was pretty good, though it had some rough patches, and it had the potential to be great, which wasn’t quite fulfilled. Basically, it had such a cool plot, tarnished by the boring white dudes chosen to be narrator and villain.

So you should all do yourselves a favor and watch In the Flesh, for it is lovely and amazing and deep and funny and has great music. I mean, it has zombies, human defense militias, complicated politics, a queer main character, cuckoo undead prophets, sleepy English town drama and adorable Northern accents, what else could you want?
Crossing my fingers and toes and dunno what else for it to get a third season. ♥
Also, dude playing Kieren has the most awesome huge eyes ever, I seriously thought they had him on those extra big iris japanese contacts at first! So he's super cute, and I spent pretty much every scene with Maxine in it thinking 'goddamn, this woman is so gorgeous'. All the shows for her.

oh idris elba, come save these poor lost souls
Went to see The Grand Budapest Hotel on Friday and it was absolutely charming and adorable and funny and amazing. So recommended.
On Saturday I saw Godzilla, which was… ok. Mostly it made me wanna watch Pacific Rim again, so I did. Ah, Pacific Rim. So awesome. So exciting. ♥
Anyway, so, Godzilla - the monster bits were cool enough that i didn’t feel cheated (that first glimpse at Godzilla was so rad), but all of the human bits were so boring. Also, all they made Ken Watanabe do was look around confused. So, so confused. Poor Ken Watanabe.
Then again, I have a massive soft stop for the 90s movie. So bad. So good.

COMICS. Y SO HARD.
I was about to order This One Summer by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, because some comics deserve to be read physically, and I thought, what the hell, let's get some more. I've long wanted to complete my collection of Brian Michael Bendis' run on Daredevil, but it's out of print and it was only when I ordered from three party vendors that I realized they were charging fucking 35 dlls in shipping for a 10 dlls book. WHAT. NO.
I backtracked pretty fast. So I'm ordering Nextwave even though it's unavailable at the moment, but that comes from Amazon and the shipping is like 5 dlls. For whenever it comes, I guess. Also getting some Fables trades. I'm so so behind on Fables, I suck.
UGH. Why are comics so expensive? Why do I earn so little? I really wanna support the new Black Widow series, too, but the trade isn't coming out until July, boo. I dislike paying 4dlls for a single issue with shitty paper and ads enough, I'm so not paying that for digital.
