be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (BSG: Starbuck/Apollo: pilots)
FIRSTLY, happy birthday [personal profile] animus_wyrmis ! I hope it's fabulous, and I wish I had fic for you, but I didn't think I could outdo Lass and I am ficced out. :( If the next Renesmee piece comes out anytime soon, it will probably be because I wanted to get it out for you. <3333333

NEXTLY, my top 7 canon and fanon ships! (HONORABLE MENTIONS ARE TOTALLY ALLOWED GUYS. D:)

Lots of shipping! ) 
Honorable Mention No. 2 - Renesmee/Leah or Leah/Angela (Twilight Series)
Um. This is solely from my Renesmee series and Wyrm's fabulous Leah/Angela imprinting fic. They're both almost impossible in the actual verse, and only there in correction things, but I really like both of them, so. *shifty*

Honorable Mention No. 1 - Neville/Luna (Harry Potter)

They are strangely adorable together! Luna's absolutely fabulous and surprisingly clear-headed, and Neville grows up and gets really awesome, and them together is ... well, I really like it. Unfortunately, it's only fanon, as Neville apparently marries Hannah Abbott. :(

5. Hermione/Padma (Harry Potter)

This is so fanon it's almost not funny, in that in-series Padma is only around a little bit, not enough for us to get any idea of her personality other than that she's Ravenclaw so probably smart, and a prefect, so probably studious and well-behaved. I tried to flesh her out in that one huge Harry Potter fic I did, How Do They Rise Up, and I found myself loving her and Hermione together. I kept it from being a romantic relationship, but you guys they would be awesome together. (And I say this as a Hermione/Ron shipper.)

4. Padma/George (Harry Potter)

Go read [livejournal.com profile] fahye's fabulous fic Healer and you will see why I ship these two so much. No, seriously. That is all it is based on.

3. Draco/Ginny (Harry Potter)

(Man, Harry Potter is GOOD for fanon shipping.) They would be very pretty together! No, I'm not quite that shallow (not quite). You know, I really like Harry/Ginny. It's a nice ship. I just keep feeling this dissatisfaction that as soon as Ginny got really really awesome (perhaps a bit too awesome - she borders on Mary Sue in a few cases) Harry got her. I was disappointed in that. I just - I don't know. But Draco/Ginny! You guys, there is PROMISE. Looking over the books again recently, I was disappointed in how stereotypically bullyish and cowardly she made Draco - I know that she had a lot to tackle but he's often in center space - I think she could have done a better job with him, made him more human. I think he's got a lot of potential to be a full character, and I think him and Ginny would be a fascinating couple. They're both quite talented (Draco appears to be almost at a level with Hermione in knowledge, if not past her in practical application), they're both from families with strong views, they're both strong-minded, but I also think they could compliment each other really well. I think Ginny could teach Draco a lot about questioning things he's taken for granted, and Draco could do the same for her. I really think they'd be awesome together, and it would make me happier than the 'hero gets the girl' storyline.

2. Zuko/Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

I already did the defending my ship thing in part 1 of this, but I would just like to tell everyone to go here and here for some absolutely fabulous Z/K picspams. Also this one. Oh my ship! How pretty you are. Look how pretty they are!

1. Peter/Susan (Chronicles of Narnia)

I love them so much!


Top Five canon ships for [personal profile] animus_wyrmis 
Honorable Mention No. 2 - Richard/Kahlan (Legend of the Seeker: TV Show)

The books suck, but the show is delightfully cracky and yet quite good at delivering this ship, which is fabulous and very canon and yet it can never be! (Have they solved this yet? I hope they do soon!) Richard and Kahlan are gorgeous together, and it's really believably shown how much they care for another, and it's kept pretty consistent. Basically, they're adorable. Look at that picture! Awwwww.

Honorable Mention No. 1 - Faramir/Eowyn (Lord of the Rings)

You guys, this was the first thing I ever shipped. I was like, eight. And then Miranda Otto and David Wenham made me like it even more. It is fabulous. I love these two so much. Awwwwwwww! <33333 In honor of being my first ship, they get the biggest picspam. XD

5. Carrot/Angua (Discworld, the Night Watch Arc)
Sadly, there is no official art to be had for them, but man, these two are adorable. She's a werewolf who's abandoned her(I hear somewhat lawless) family to join the Watch and try to do good. She's cranky, feminist, doesn't wear dresses much, drinks, doesn't open up easily, and is really tough. He's the six-foot not-so-unknown heir to the throne who considers himself a dwarf because he grew up with them, is prudish, always clean-shaven, impossibly optimistic, and really scary when he's angry. And somehow they just go together. They're awesome.

4. Lizzy/Darcy (Pride and Prejudice)


You guys, does anyone NOT ship this? (Don't answer that. I mean it. If you link me to Jane/Wickham fic I will be forced to bleach my mind, and that would be sad.)

3. Polly/Male (A Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett)

I already explained this one, yes?

2. Starbuck/Apollo (Battlestar Galactica the Reimagined Series)

As said before, OH LEE/KARA. HOW AWESOME YOU ARE.

1. Morgana/Arthur/Gwen/Merlin (or any permutation of) (BBC Merlin)

The more I look at the promo pictures for Season 2, the more excited I get for it. Bradley looks really, really good in that picture of him. And Angel! ahsldkgjdlkfgjsldgh OMG CANNOT WAAAAAIT.
be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Narnia: Pevensies: a posteriori)
Someone said recently that Uhura was 'just the love interest' in the Trek reboot, which irritated me a great deal. I wrote a bit of a rant/essay on women characters and then discovered that voila! [livejournal.com profile] sarahtales had done it better! so go read it if you haven't already! (since it's been making a lot of the rounds, there's a strong chance you have.)

You guys, this song is so cute/pretty/awesome! Mason Jennings sings it slow kind of slow and ... peaceful? and my sister Mary sings it with this fast upbeat pace and both versions are really fun to listen to/sing along with.

On to the Top Five meme! Picture/.gif heavy!


Top five things to cook )

Top Five ships for [profile] sagee_x3
5. Polly/Mal (Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett)
Polly's a girl devoted to her family, protective of her older, slightly slow brother, and plenty brave and smart. Mal's a vampire who decided war would be exciting, who's developed a coffee addiction to replace her thirst for blood, and who's snarky, rarely talks about herself, and is decidedly smart. And together they are so awesome. Unfortunately, there's no real artwork for the book that shows them. D:

4. Zuko/Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

You know, Aang/Katara is sweet and fluffy and cuddly, but they're so young and Aang's only really got a crush on her (also, he's 13. I'm sorry, I draw the line somewhere). And I really do adore Zuko/Mai - I think it's a really wonderful relationship and I love the way Mai and Zuko complement each other. But Zuko and Katara work so well together, and there's always been tension between them, and she cared about him before any of the others really did, and he's had this almost fixation on her from the very beginning. They fit together so perfectly it's hard not to ship them. I really, really love how they fit together. (And that is post-series artwork by one of the main animators for Avatar, so.)

3. Starbuck/Apollo (Battlestar Galactica Reimagined Series)

You guys, this ship is fabulous. You should all ship them. You should all love them as much as I do. I really, really love these two together, in any respect at all, but especially as lovers. They work fantastically together, they're a really great team, she can make him laugh and he can make her actually smile, they know how to hurt each other and they try not to, they know how to fix each other and they try to, and seeing her in a dress makes him forget how to talk to women. Also? There's no take-backs. There are never any take-backs.

2. Morgana/Arthur/Gwen/Merlin (or any permutation thereof) (BBC Merlin)

First off, these people are all ridiculous amounts of pretty. Secondly, they all have ridiculous amounts of chemistry. Thirdly, they all run around constantly saying how much they all love each other. There is no end to how awesome these four people are, and I quite seriously do ship almost every permutation of this. The only one that's lost my interest is Arthur/Merlin, probably mostly because it is so obvious and everyone else in the whole world ships it. It is still a fabulous ship, I just currently find Arthur/Morgana, Morgana/Gwen, Arthur/Gwen and Merlin/Morgana the most interesting. (Also, I almost put Uther into the mix too, but I thought that might be taking it too far. XD)

1. Peter/Susan (Chronicles of Narnia)

You know what, guys? I get it, okay. C. S. Lewis is sobbing in his grave and needs anti-depressants, incest is wrong, they wouldn't think of each other like that, etc. etc. and so forth. I don't care (especially about Lewis, because his lack of research makes me angry). I love them together. He's the High King, the most important man in Narnia, and she's Queen Susan, his second-in-command, really, and they love each other. And it is as simple as that for me, now, though it took a fair bit of convincing originally. You want to know what convinced me? These and these. No more arguing. Just read them, even if you hate the pairing, because they are works of art.

I have two more things to do (Top Five fanon ships and Top Five canon ships for [personal profile] animus_wyrmis ) but I have to go to co-op in half an hour and I haven't finished my homework yet, and there's fourteen ships in all to detail (two honorable mentions for each category), so I really need to go finish that. I shall do them later! Oh my beautiful ships.
be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Narnia: Lucy: no despair)
Because I'm really not up to a full length post right now. Later! I swear! When characters aren't forcing me at gunpoint to write them! (OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, HARPER.)

Stolen from approximately HALF MY FLIST.

Ask me my fannish Top Five. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post.

<333 I'm fine, I promise! Just really busy , with lots of school and cooking and taking care of the house and being responsible, which is lots of fun half the time and sucks the other half.

oh, cedric

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Misc: Text: own that shit)
Okay, I'm pretty sure this is going to be a post on the scale of epic.

thanks and cracked teeth )
I've caught up with my f-list! I went back to around Thursday and hopefully caught everyone from then on. Sorry if I missed anyone!

Things I want to recommend to people.

A) [livejournal.com profile] zempasuchil drew Mary Blake/Renesmee. It is adorable.
B) Anything on [livejournal.com profile] houseofpevensie . I'm a bit erratic on commenting on them, but the writing is superb and I adore the characters.
C) [personal profile] animus_wyrmis posted her lovely Leah/Angela fic with no name. So pretty!

TV shows I watched while I was in a horrible mood - Chuck (about six episodes of the first season), Pushing Daisies (part of the first episode before I got kicked off the computer), Supernatural (a few of my favorite episodes), Project Runway (I have to admit, I generally skip to the reunion episode after my favorites get kicked off).

As proof that I really need to slow down on the fic writing and just concentrate on a few, I'm going to go ahead and do the 'give a line from each of your WIP's' meme. Um. For some of them it's more like post a paragraph.

harborverse, nostalgia!origfic, what images return (next renesmee), untitled susan!fic, untitlted narniaexchange, untitled erasureathon )

I must turn in one Latin assignment and two Government assignments, and then I shall return to play with fic! Renesmee metafic is being difficult. a) I completely forgot Seth b) I introduced the Cullens. I'm thinking that needs to be a later story, that this one should be only about Mary and Leah. I dunno.

Things[livejournal.com profile] lassiterfics told me to talk about.

church, being the moon, many siblings!, homeschool, my favorite place in the world )

Moments in the past few days.

While playing Set (it's a matching card game) with Kat and Sam, said completely deadpan, "They come in the night you know," and continued playing as if nothing had happened, effectively freaking them out. Yay!

Took down Kat's and my bunkbed, scrubbed it, got most of my room cleared out and ready for the old wallpaper to be steamed off and new wallpaper put up.

Cleaned out my bookcase - four shelves of papers and books with an inordinate amount of maps and name lists and drabbles and things I need to keep writing if I can just remember the plot I started with.

Thought 'I need to be working on narniaexchange now' multiple times.

Realized that although I thought I was writing Mary&Lea for the next installment of Mary 'verse, what I was really writing was Mary/Lea. For instance. Mary thinks about ying and yang and the imbalance of power and how pale her arms look when compared to Lea's dark tan. Also. "Imagine a world with no time," Lea says. Mary brushes her fingers against Lea as she thinks, I'd like that.

Repeated face-palming ensued.

Hiii everyone I've been neglecting you a bit this weekend. Aidan and Mary headed out about 3 hours ago, going back to Utah to camp.

In short, hi, I'm back! Here's a meme I snagged from [livejournal.com profile] marycontraire .

1) Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.
2) NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.
3) They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.
4) You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like. (Read: ask me about them!).

wow, who knew I had that many pictures of Neuschwanstein saved? )
be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Misc: Text: own that shit)
I'm somewhere between laughing hysterically and being kind of shocked. We were playing baseball, and Aidan did something to his left ankle, bad enough to make him feel sick and not be able to walk on it. And we're talking Aidan, here. This guy is nowhere near a wuss by any definition of the word - he kayaks in western New Zealand on Level 5's (he kayaked here once or twice, and he said our Level 5's here are more like Level 3's or maybe 4's in N.Z.), mountain bikes lots, etc. etc. He's used to injury. So, in short, whatever happened isn't good.

Which is why I'm currently sitting at home hoping someone will call already and tell me what's going on (they took him to the emergency room).

ETA: They're home! It's just a sprain, thank goodness, but apparently not one of those tiny ones. A lot of his discomfort came from the heat (N. Z. was 40 degrees F when he left) and such.

Annnnd writing stuff -

Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change -- something tiny or big -- and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story

You guys know where my stuff is (fanfiction: masterlist tag). Etc. etc.

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Misc: Text: own that shit)
Feeling extremely restless, a little bored, and very very frustrated. Not entirely sure what at, so there you go.

I got linked to [livejournal.com profile] lassiterfics and [livejournal.com profile] zempasuchil writing Merlin actors OT4 taking a road trip around America and, well, it's not my fault! Seriously! They brought them into my home state on a road trip. my family/road trips is practically an OTP. like with the camping, which road trips are just a part of because we travel everywhere by car, almost never plane. hell, we drove to Vermont for a vacation. also? Boston, to see my brother play some games at Harvard before he graduated. thirdly, Connecticut, when he was in a summer wooden bat league there. they were called the Twisters, and there was a guy from Australia playing on it. he was awesome and wore these crazy sunglasses a lot and had an accent. we know most of the rest stops between here and like... Virginia. i am serious, i actually recognize the rest stops. because we don't believe in not stopping at rest stops, it's all part of the experience. i have gone up and down the entire Eastern seaboard, even to Maine, but that was just once and barely in.

oh no, now i'm going all nostalgic on myself. next i'll be going all weepy. >.<

i kind of just want to write something really really nostalgic for me right now, like road trips or baseball people, because it's just so awesome and i've pretty much just written fantasy for the past two or three years. seriously.

OH YEAH. Lass has corrupted me, guys. i have written RPF. just commentfic, at least.

Meme-wise. If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal. *blows kisses* you people are awesome. thanks for keeping me at least a little sane.
be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Doctor Who: 9 & Rose: look away)
Me being me, I'm working on a Jenny fic. So far, she's met Jethro, River Song, Riley Vashtee, Jack Harkness and River Tam (yes, from Firefly). XD She's also gotten kissed by a man she's never seen before (but who's already met her - oh, timelines), made a copy of the screwdriver River Song has, rescued quite a few people, and gotten sent tumbling through time and space (more than once).

There is lots of running, too.

Meme time! I saw this a few places, don't remember where.

1.) Go to my master fic list and pick out a line or two from one of my stories. (Must be a full line, please -- no sentence fragments or speech tags or other such nonsense.)
2.) I will respond with which story of mine I think it's from.
3.) A drabble to anyone who stumps me. If you do stump me, feel free to request a situation and characters.

I'm gonna go ahead and say if you want to take lines from comment-fic, you can.

RULES: Comment and I'll LJ stalk you to find THREE FANDOMS you apparently love. And then you answer these questions about them!

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

[livejournal.com profile] marycontraire tagged me with Merlin, Narnia and Supernatural.

we saw the spaces inbetween )

Also, oh man command structure of a Roman legion is complicated. I finally found something that makes it a bit clearer, but it's still got it's moments. Also, I need to find out how many ships went in and out of Boston Harbor on a say, daily basis on average in about 1770 and I don't even know where to start.

I need to up my researching skills. D:
