some people see the revolution

 So, the anonymous Holiday Love Meme is going.

My thread is here.

I... could kind of really use the confidence boost? I've been slipping a lot the past few days and just generally having issues with my emotions and everything. I'm never sure if I'm going to start laughing hysterically or sobbing. A couple of times it's been both simultaneously. Nice things sounds really good right now.

God, that sounds horrifically selfish, but yeah, I'd really appreciate it if you'd drop by and leave a note for me. 

And please do link me to yours! I'm trying to write college essays, so I haven't been looking through all the pages, but I'd like to say nice things about all of you guys. <3333

I feel like doing memes okay. I also feel like talking about couples I love deeply, or find interesting, etc. etc. I don't wanna go to sleep or leave the internet, whyyyyyyy. 

Listed below are descriptions of some of the fictional couples that I ship. With the vagueness and obscurity, try to guess the people listed in the comments.

Most of these are canon ships, but there are a couple fanon and one crack crossover ship.

1. She's a girl who wants to be an investigative journalist, he's a smart mouthed but extremely intelligent and talented artist. Together, they fight aliens! Rani/Clyde from Sarah Jane Adventures, guessed by wordsatourbacks and wingedflight21.

2. She's new to this world, but so is he. He's emotionally stunted, she definitely isn't. They are absurdly adorable. Superboy/Miss Martian from Young Justice, guessed by katakokk

3. They are going to be the best damn monarchs EVER. (He can't cook.)

4. They played rooftop tag, bonded over evil dads, and believe in redemption wholeheartedly. Cassandra Cain/Stephanie Brown from DCU Comics, guessed by metonomia 

5. They were good together, weren't they? They were better than good. 

6. They've been in love since they were eleven, no matter how hard he swore she was insufferable. You can't tell me differently. Ron/Hermione from Harry Potter, guessed by kayloulee , grim_lupine, and wingedflight21. 

7. He used to be a king, now he's got an indeterminate job involving being a badass. He makes a great cup of coffee and is incredibly competent. Their relationship is based on five hours, give or take a bit. Edmund Pevensie (Narnia)/Ianto Jones (Torchwood), guessed by wordsatourbacks , flyakate and wingedflight21.

8. He's an uptight and competent professional, he's the emotionally intelligent guy who enjoys irritating him. Together, they steal secrets. Arthur/Eames from Inception, guessed by kayloulee , flyakate, and probing_grays.

9. She's a rogue agent on the run. She doesn't see a reason to live until she's given a mission. They just want to fix everything. And be in love. Alex/Nikita from Nikita, guessed bywordsatourbacks and wingedflight21

10. He's a space archaeologist with recurring death issues, she's the talented and gorgeous lying thief who just. won't. leave. Daniel Jackson/Vala Mal Doran from Stargate SG-1, guessed by alexseanchai and anastigmatfic. (Admittedly, the recurring death issues was kind of a dead giveaway.)

11. Snarky psychic seeking ferroequinologist. Shawn/Gus from Psych, guessed by wordsatourbacks 

12. You are my god-given solace. I'm angry with you right now, I'm not talking to you. Garcia/Morgan from Criminal Minds, guessed by eudaimon

 GUYS GUYS GUYS

I really just need to create stuff, okay? SO MEMETIME.

Give me 2-9 actors. I'll put my music on shuffle, and create a movie synopsis based on those actors and the first song that comes up. 

(I really need the kick coming up with new ideas gives me. please?)

First genderswap meme response up here: Golden Age Pevensies & Queen Cassia, picspam & accompanying fic. Yes, that is a new community. I wanted someplace to dump things that wasn't my personal journal. More genderswap replies coming later for: Supernatural, Merlin, Downton Abbey & White Collar.

and now for the Awesome Ladies meme!

the list:

1. Susan Pevensie (Narnia)
2. Keladry of Mindelan (Protector of the Small)
3. Jesse Flores (T:SCC)
4. Amy Pond (Doctor Who)
5. Nikita (Nikita)
6. Lady Mary Crawley (Downton Abbey)
7. Anastasia "Dee" Dualla (Battlestar Galactica)
8. Emily Prentiss (Criminal Minds)
9. Anna Milton (Supernatural)
10. Diana Barrigan (White Collar)
11. Kono Kalakaua (Hawaii Five-0)
12. Holland Donaghue (OC)
13. River Song (Doctor Who)
14. Jenny Lewis (Primeval)
15. Eowyn (Lord of the Rings)

(do you know how hard this was to narrow down? I wanted to put EVERYONE on there. I switched names in and out for probably half an hour before settling on this. SO MANY LADIES.)

and responses!

( 11 responses. ) 

and that one meme with your WIP titles. I don't really have a WIP folder, just a writing one, but let's see what I've got in there. 

( I have got to finish some of this stuff. )

+ still sick! but I'm pretty sure everyone is. :P

+ PRIMEVAL, OMG. This season is killer.

+ White Collar has returned! JOY, etc. And I just remain so pleased that though Neal and Peter are the main characters, they really utilize everyone they've got. Jones and Diana and Sara and Elizabeth aren't just tossed out. Which :D (P.S. LOLZ NEAL TRYING TO FIGHT.)

+ Nikita soon? Yes? I thought it was tomorrow, but I'm not seeing any place saying that. Maybe next week.

+ So they're adapting Being Human to America/Canada. I've watched about half the first season of the UK version and loved it (and then got busy and couldn't finish it).( some of it spoilery )

+ The Cape is out - very classic superhero, etc. I'm watching for Summer Glau, but the story is interesting enough that I'm not pulling out anyways. At least not yet.

+ I have had my first and second day of classes, and seen all four. I think I'm going to enjoy them (well, not Statistics much, but I won't hate it). I already know one of my teachers is awesome, and the other three all seem very engaging and fun, and the subjects are ones I really like. So yay!

and lastly, this meme is going around again, and I can never resist it.

Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any or all of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, and possibly a short excerpt as well.

 omg, caramelsilver is running the 3-sentence ficathon again! which was basically my favorite thing all last holiday season. stress-free, no requirements - just joy and writing and fannish glee! :DDDD YOU SHOULD ALL GO JOIN IN. 


3-Sentence Ficathon

MY THREAD HERE :D

I can't resist! This meme is simply too adorable.


MY THREAD HERE

FIRST and most importantly as well! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, zempasuchil . I hope it is a fabulous one. :D I would write you things, but I am afraid that I am too busy. <33333 I shall make do with good wishes and cheer! LOVE YOU LOTS AND LOTS.

Speaking of busy: this Saturday my mom leaves for New Zealand. She'll be gone for a week attending my sister's wedding. My older sister is out West skiing with her boyfriend and his family. Essentially, this means that I'm in charge of meals, cleaning, school, and getting everyone (including me) to school/baseball/other places on time for a week. This will Not Be Fun, especially because both of my younger siblings are kind of jerks when it comes to cleaning. I do almost all of the cleaning in the house - they do some yard work on Saturdays and make lots of messes. (Yesterday night I found molded over steak in the back of the stove, which I had had no occasion to use or clean since last Friday. I had mistakenly assumed that others weren't just dumping dirty frying pans and plates in there.) When I ask them to clean, they don't. When I get angry at them because of that, they yell and say that I never do anything. At which point I go really quiet and kind of scary. It is not fun.

Also: ScriptFrenzy and Remix, same time. I can... totally do this? Uh. TOTALLY. well, I can, but it'll be tough. but I am SO PLEASED to be writing Cabin Fever, SO PLEASED you have no idea. I have been needing a new original fic project to distract me from wanting to turn to go nowhere with you into a whole 'verse.

Three tests recently - one today, one last Tuesday, one take-home due next Tuesday. Got a 61% on the Biology test, which is killing me inside. I just. GAH. It's definitely my fault, there. *facepalm*

Okay time for happy things. happy things like writing memes! TWO OF THEM. an old favorite and one picked up from fahye.

Ask me a question about one of my fics -- characters, plot, what happened before or after, what the writing process was like, what scenes I cut or changed, other ways the fic could have gone, relevant bits of backstory/headcanon/worldbuilding, what a certain line or scene meant or was in reference to, what various characters were doing offscreen, or anything else you can think of. Questions can be as silly/serious/sexy as you like.

ETA: THAT'S IT I'M GOING HOME AND MAKING SOMETHING WITH SUGAR OR AT LEAST VAGUELY SWEET AND NOTHING CAN STOP ME I SWEAR TO GOD. *glitter rage meltdown* Shit, I knew I was heading towards this. It's what I was trying to avoid with cathartic sad TV, which worked but not as long as I'd hoped. Now I'm tired and crying in the school library for NO REASON whatsoever. goddamnit. I have a driving test tomorrow and I cannot fail it and. I just.

going home. making sugar. doing writing memes and fixing Pevensies/Winchester of Doom and I am going to HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.

Seen @ sgrio . When you see this, post a poem in your journal.

Other Lives and Dimensions and Finally a Love Poem | Bob Hicok

My left hand will live longer than my right. The rivers

of my palms tell me so.
Never argue with rivers. Never expect your lives to finish
at the same time. I think

praying, I think clapping is how hands mourn. I think
staying up and waiting
for paintings to sigh is science. In another dimension this
is exactly what’s happening,

it’s what they write grants about: the chromodynamics
of mournful Whistlers,
the audible sorrow and beta decay of “Old Battersea Bridge.”
I like the idea of different

theres and elsewheres, an Idaho known for bluegrass,
a Bronx where people talk
like violets smell. Perhaps I am somewhere patient, somehow
kind, perhaps in the nook

of a cousin universe I’ve never defiled or betrayed
anyone. Here I have
two hands and they are vanishing, the hollow of your back
to rest my cheek against,

your voice and little else but my assiduous fear to cherish.
My hands are webbed
like the wind-torn work of a spider, like they squeezed
something in the womb

but couldn’t hang on. One of those other worlds
or a life I felt
passing through mine, or the ocean inside my mother’s belly
she had to scream out.

Here when I say “I never want to be without you,”
somewhere else I am saying
“I never want to be without you again.” And when I touch you
in each of the places we meet

in all of the lives we are, it’s with hands that are dying
and resurrected.
When I don’t touch you it’s a mistake in any life,
in each place and forever.

Casting your zombie apocalypse! This seemed like the perfect meme to start out the new year - one I've been meaning to do for a while that involves not only pretty people but also ZOMBIES. yaaay!

( Who would you cast in your zombie apocalypse? )
