"You said you were in the library." "So was the swimming pool."

 things I want: lots more indulgent world-building fic about a world WITHOUT STARS. I did a bit here, but I think there should be more! and so does Lass! WRITE IT PEOPLE. (also needing writing? the adventures of Rory as he stayed out of trouble (badly) for 2000 years!) 

you know, the more things I hear about SPN S6, the more I get excited for it! it's sounding kind of epic. 

poetry is EPIC, guys! especially when you're relating it to fandom, which means that [livejournal.com profile] gid_hanasheh and [livejournal.com profile] motherlessguns are awesome and that everyone should watch them.

man, SPN is addictive, isn't it? and it spreads like wildfire! let's see. I got Lass hooked, Lass got Z and Wyrm into it (and I think others I don't know), Larm and I got Meto and Irish and Kate into it, and now I'm sort of worried for ALL OF YOU GUYS' SANITY. SPN will steal it! and rip your heart out! oh wait, you know that now. 

I want to watch Happy Town, because it's crazy and fun, but at the same time - it creeped me out SO badly, and that was just the first episode. I think I have to be very careful about how I'm doing emotionally before I finish watching it. 

I did, however, watch the SyFy Alice, which has been on my list for a long time, and Alice/Hatter is adorable, y'all. Also everyone kicks ass! I always enjoy that.

I get to plan hopeful college-visiting! YAY.

EVERYTHING IN THIS POST MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY.

I can totally see Roranicus being held up as the ultimate symbol of faith too, similar to how Penelope is. Humanities scholars go wild over the story, I bet. I bet there are theses comparing and contrasting Roranicus to Penelope. There are also of course conspiracy theories that cults the world over have made up about the Pandorica! Jacob Glaser is the only one who knows the truth ("Inside it there's a woman from the future who will be instrumental in saving the universe!") but no one ever listens to him when pyramids aren't involved.

Like Z above, SPN has become my most social fandom, what with meeting fans IRL. I also got my best friend into it and now the two of us are OBSESSED and she is Dean on my phone, I am Sam on hers. STOP LAUGHING. We constantly find ways to turn the conversation back to SPN. Obsession, like misery, loves company. I too would worry about my sanity, if I KNEW WHERE IT WAS. HAVE YOU SEEN IT? SHOULD I MAKE ADS ON THE SIDES OF MILK CARTONS??

Happy Town is pretty creepy, this is true. New episode tonight though! I am wildly excited. I started watching Syfy Alice some time ago but never finished... but I may soon, since it's getting such ringing endorsements from people.

OMG GOOD LUCK WITH COLLEGE VISITS

POEMS!!!!

:DDDD

"Why else would one man guard it for two thousand years?" Jacob says, but no one wants to admit that this makes total sense.

this one time, another cult devoted to the Pandorica stole it. Rory knew better than to try to take the entire group at once, but he spent a week following them, and another three days ambushing them all one by one, until it was down to only three completely paranoid and terrified members remaining, and then after beating them he sat down next to the Pandorica. "I think I should feel tired," he tells Amy. "It's been a while since I slept. A few hundred years? The calendars are sort of weird." He cleans his sword and then rests his head against the Pandorica. "I hope you're okay," he says quietly, and then sighs and gets up. One of his joints creaks - he needs to find some oil. And a rope. Maybe he should hide her in a cave this time - but that's not really safe. Publicity remains the safest option for the moment.

THERE ARE TOTALLY THESES. Rory does a stint at Oxford one time, when the Pandorica is being kept there. at first, he's a little bit appalled at finding himself in textbooks, but then he goes ahead and writes a theses hypothesizing that the Lone Centurion is a construct, something created by people's minds and expectations and random coincidences. It goes over surprisingly well for something that's patently false. He finds it inordinately amusing, and writes a letter to Amy about it, which he stuffs under some floorboards.

He's left hundreds of these letters scattered throughout time. Nobody can read them - in this world without stars, German is much different than the German he learned as a child. They can tell the languages are related, but the letters themselves have become something of a phenomenon. If I have to write another thesis someday, I can write it on my letters, he muses. He's looking forward to it.

it is weird how social SPN is, and how quickly it spreads! but also AWESOME. I'm not laughing! I love how SPN can really bring people together. OH SPN, the crazy and wonder of you! oh dear. perhaps you should start with posters on lightpoles? LOST: ONE SANITY. RETURN TO LASS. DO NOT PET, IT BITES.

ooh, new episode! hm. I wonder if they'll get to wrap up the plot at least a little bit? I hope so! it would be awful if they didn't, I'd die of speculation. and Alice is quite fun! too short, that's the only problem. I would love the continuing adventures of Hatter and Alice, as they go mirroring around.

COLLEGEEEEE. POETRYYYYY. WHEEEEE!

LOL I NEED JACOB GLASER IN ALL MY FANDOMS BASICALLY. Finding the ~TRUTH in all secrets!

omg Roryyyyyyyy, so loyal and so finding himself in textbooks! And writing theses on himself for funsies! AND WRITING LETTERS TO AMY STUFFED UNDER FLOORBOARDS OMG. I love this idea that the languages are different, which makes all sorts of sense considering how the lack of stars would have made for different migration patterns.

RETURN TO LASS. DO NOT PET, IT BITES.
LOL I WASN'T USING IT ANYWAY I GUESS. oh SPN, colonizer of brains.
