Her Life is a WIP

The fannish is strong with me these days, flist! I'm caught up on Arrow and as of last night on Vikings as well \o/

Incidentally, has everyone fallen for Vikings, yet? Maybe not everyone, admittedly, but suddenly my flist is filled with Vikings squee when there was almost none just last week and it's a bit amusing how so many people on my flist (including me, obviously) seems to be falling for the show at the same time. I most definitely approve, as you can imagine :)

As I was saying in an email I wrote last night, I'm facing a sort of dilemma now, though, pairing-wise. See, after watching the premiere I was pretty convinced that the OTP was, in fact, an OT3 - one which happened to be both incesty and riddled with UST - talk about an explosive combo, too - namely Lagertha/Ragnar/Rollo with Rollo obviously wanting to fuck the hell out of his brother.

Then Athelstan came in the picture - hee, Athelstan ♥ - and there is no way this sweet little dude is not getting defiled by someone. Anyone! Only, another OT3 appeared in the show and even though I love the idea of Lagertha getting her very own harem (she just seems like the kind of woman who would love a bunch of boys to rule over, don't you think?) I don't know what to think of the Lagertha/Athelstan/Ragnar OT3 because, well, who's fucking Ragnar, now? I'm all for pegging fic, don't get me wrong, but still, I liked the idea of Rollo and Ragnar and now and I'm pretty sure Fandom will be all over Ragnar/Athelstan. Well, even the show itself seems to enjoy the idea, so ;)

Also, I think Lagertha might be my new tv!wife. Omg, I have so much love for Lagertha! What a kick-ass character! So confident, so fierce, so unashamed about her own sexuality - love to see Ragnar and Lagertha being playful with one another... or playfully rough. Or, you know, just rough, period ;) I'm using my brand new Athelstan icon - courtesy of me girlfriend, hurray to her - but I'm in dire need of a Lagertha one as well.

In related news, I'm keeping the good work going - in terms of catching up on shows - and I'm dedicating tonight to Person of Interest. I've decided to watch the show properly, meaning I'm back to square one, I've just watched the premiere. Watching 1x11 made me want to get back to it but what really closed the deal was talitha78's newest vid, namely this Finch/Reese vid of awesomeness. shadowhuntress is the one who recc'ed it and she described it wonderfully, so I'll steal her words: "if you watch the show, it'll warm your heart, and if you don't watch the show, it'll make you want to start!" :)

I'd planned on doing a little SPN marathon tonight but due to technical problems, said plans were thwarted. Too bad because we were really into the whole idea of catching up with the show. Especially as I found out we had a few less episodes to watch than I thought. I'm not sure we could have finished the season overnight but it'd have been close. That is, if I'd managed to stay awake through it all, I feel tired all the time these days - I have no idea why. Never mind, we'll try again tomorrow night.

What prompted the idea was, funnily enough, school. Today was the first of a four-day weekend and I spent a good part of it working on my media sociology paper. Thing is, doing research on websites dedicated to a show you're behind is quite dangerous. You never know when you're going to be facing some spoilers. And seeing I've managed to remain spoiler-free till this day, despite being on LJ and, even more dangerous, on Twitter and Tumblr, I'd have found it ironical and sad - ok, and annoying as hell - if I got spoiled while working on a paper for school. So I thought, hey, what nights are for, if not for catching up with your favourite shows, right? I know I've said I'm tired all the time these days, I've never said the decision to do a marathon was smart.

It didn't work out, anyway. Instead we watched Fast & Furious 4, which Cookie's brother got me for my birthday (♥). It actually was my first time watching it, can you believe it? I enjoyed it immensely. And that's totally unrelated - or not - but I'd never realised how flexible Brian was! I'm referring to that scene when he's on his back and he wraps his legs around Dom's head. I bet Dom loves bendy!Brian A Whole Lot ;-)

Speaking of Dom and Brian, I've watched more of talitha78's vids and her Mmm Papi vid was quite entertaining :-p

Oh, and on the subject of slash, if things go according to plan, we'll go and see X-Men: First Class tomorrow evening. I can't wait!

Just got home from the theater; I met with greedy_dancer after work to see Prince Caspian, which I really enjoyed. Plus, a film is always even more enjoyable in the company of another slasher. We were having a blast with all the Peter/Caspian subtext and innuendos and whatnot that only a slasher will see.

I told her that I definitely knew what I was going to do once back home and I do plan on hunting some Narnia slash. If anyone has recs, I'm all ears. Also, I mentioned to GD a poll I'd seen recently on LJ meant to decide who people thought topped in the Peter/Caspian relationship and after watching the film, I have to say it's not an easy question.

My first reaction was to say Peter but after further thoughts I'm not sure it would be that obvious... so I think - and coming from me that's kinda huge - that they might switch. Though I have a preference for Caspian bottoming, anyway *nods* Edmund is bottom all the way, btw, but then again he's my fave, so...

Oh and er... is there any slash involving the General? Just, you know, out of curiosity.

Changing the subject; I had a fun afternoon at work today. With a couple of my coworkers, we modelled for a couple of shoots. Yes, I'm a model now \o/ Sorta. Okay, not really.

I mentioned that we're working on Big Project #1 at the moment, right? We need some posters/ads for it. Graphic Lady decided to take some photos she'll use on one of her posters and in order to so she needed students to sit for it.

Except this time of the year, there's no students left at the uni, so she enlisted a bunch of us to play at being all student-like... If she doesn't mind fake!students in their late-twenties instead of real!students in their not-even-early-twenties, who was I to argue? Especially as it meant I was out of the office for some time and even out of the building later on as she wanted some exterior shoots. Like, students studying on their laptops in Teh Great Outdoors, you know? Twas fun :-)

Oh and I still don't have a desk - it's been ordered but hasn't arrived yet - or anything but I now have my laptop and a desktop, so naturally I decided to give them a name. Then it came to me.

Fact One, Desktop is much bigger than Laptop. Fact Two: Desktop is plugged in Laptop. Conclusion: Jared is Desktop and Jensen is Laptop! So obvious omg! Therefore I called the entity J2 \o/ Now that my computers have name, I'm sure I'll do even better work ;-p

This morning I signed my contract so I'm now officially hired at the Sorbonne. I handed in the two blurbs I wrote for the Romance Novels of Doom. Then I got back to work and I hired out another camel and a snake charmer.

I feel all accomplished today \o/

Completely, 100% unrelated; so one of my favourite slash topics is Top/Bottom: Who's Pitching and Who's Catching? Because I'm one of those people who have a 'strict' top/bottom policy... which is still the same, my favourite character has to be the one taking it. That's it, no complicated theories, no deep reasons. Favourite character = bottom.

On his back, on all fours, against the wall, bent over the couch, straddling one's lap, in front of a whole audience, with a dildo, I don't care, as long as he's the one getting the deep dicking. As they say *cough*
And after discussing that topic with people here and there, I know that I'm not the only one being kinda anal about it - pun intended if you want to be that way.

So. If you have a couple of seconds to waste spare and feel like it, would you mind indulging me and filling that poll?

[Poll #1203944]

And to those who wish I'd included a 'seriously, dude, don't you have better questions to ask?', my answer is 'obviously not!' \o/ Plus. That is a very important question in my world *nods solemnly*

Oh, Starbucks, my home away from home! Love of my life! How I missed you! Or How Mouse Went to a Starbucks and Ate a Cheesecake after a Hundred Years Going Without. Or maybe slighly less, but it certainly felt that long to me! Tbf!Rissy thought I sounded quite porny while I was drinking my beloved Caramal Macchiato and even pornier yet when I started eating my cheesecake but, dude, more than 40 days without the latter! It truly was orgasmic *blissful look*

Yeah, okay. Moving on!

Something I love about the SPN fandom? Both RPS and FPS. Among many things, mind. Is how some kinks that are usually considered really kinky in some fandoms are kinda the norm here. I'm thinking of rimming, if you want me to spell it out. In the SPN fandom, Jared and Jensen or Sam and Dean seem to really love rimming. Actually, they seem to just love putting their tongues/mouths pretty much everywhere. To my utter satisfaction, don't think I'm complaining :-) But it's so much fun. So in some fandoms the rimming will be a bit out of the ordinary whereas in SPN, it'll just be part of the smut, nothing special per se ♥ ♥

And because I love changing the subject. Part 2 of the Icon meme.

Sometimes you think you've read it all - though seriously, I don't understand why we feel that way sometimes. Well, not in a fandom like TS in any case, it's not as if there were only twenty fics fighting for our attention over there, right? - and you realise how wrong you are when you stumble upon a fic that has to have been written million years ago? Or say seven years ago. But whatever. I've just read Nothing On for the first time and awww but that fic was perfect! It was bantery, sweet, fun, sexy and hot. It even had a tiny wee dose of angst, solved pretty quickly and just - yes, 100% Jim/Blair, right? :-)

Speaking of reading TS, I've read The Lamp and that fic is a little gem. Too cute for words and so much fun - pretty smart as well, actually. I just love those out-there-plot-bunnies that fucking work. Makes me want to re-read Bewitched, Bedazzled and Bewildered as a matter of fact. Oh and buy the Bedazzled DVD come to think of it.

Now flist, want to know what the French Posse and I had planned for last night? We had another go at our Gay Night. Did GD, SAM and The Mouse finally make it to their lesbian club of choice? Did they even go as far as leave GD's place? Did they have hot and dirty sex right there on the dance floor?

( Well, see, if you're interested you just have to click on the cut to have the answer; if you're not, you'll be able to ignore it altogether. )

And okay so you might think this has nothing to do with Jim and Blair? But look - just picture Blair dragging Jim to a nightclub. Maybe Jim lost a bet, maybe they performed a hot and lazy sixty-nine and the first one to come had to accept to spend a night in the location of the winner's choice? And Blair did that thing with his tongue and Jim lost it. So Blair picked that gay club he's been wanting to go with Jim for ever; and here in the dark, Jim finally accepts that a dancing and sweaty Blair might be good enough to enjoy himself and he'll touch his sexy babe and they'll have hot and dirty sex right here on the dance floor.

Except before that, he'd have to dial down his hearing, like, all the way down - down to normal level that is, or lower even - because the VOLUME IS CRAZY! Oh and the vibrations created by said volume? Would either drive him crazy in a bad way or drive him crazy in a good way...

So, see? Totally a Jim/Blair post all the way!
