[livejournal.com profile] rawumber, I am actually working tonight (and tomorrow and possibly Sunday). :(

Bitching
  • Family has gone mad. Embrace of crackpot "cures" has commenced.

  • On day 6 without a break from work.


  • Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope
    Dude, seriously? I need distracting because otherwise my entire family is going to get an earful from me about the aforementioned crackpot cures.

    Distract me, please, I don't care how. Ask me a question, introduce yourselves, leave a rec, ask for a rec, post a picture, whatever. Something. Please.

    1. Yes, if the werewolf were sufficiently groovy. Oz could do a little acknowledging nod and Dief would acknowledge it and they would be cool.

    2. George O'Malley would be a *wonderful* ship's surgeon for Norrington. He would be all flustered and clumsy and sometimes he would bang his head on one of the low doorways and Norrington would sometimes glance heaven-wards but O'Malley would be *awesome* in the middle of a naval battle and right afterwards and yes. I haven't thought about this at all.

    3a-b. No. There are too many ways they fit and too many stories to tell and too many things that could go differently and too many conflicts to explore. I sometimes just sit around and wonder what it means to be a good man and a career soldier or a good man in a group that sometimes forgets you're more than the muscle or a good man with a ravenous beast inside you. And then I wonder about control and what all that fine control directs and what it takes to break it. And then I wonder about ethics and I wonder why so few people ever explored Gunn's feelings about leaving his gang, about giving up his role as leader, about the greater good.

    I wonder about the greater good a lot. I wonder if Norrington's ever made a decision in good faith that's ended up being disastrous and how that's affected him. I wonder if Oz is still playing guitar. I wonder what Gunn did during that time at Wolfram and Hart for companionship.

    And I love you lots, too. *mwah*

    3a-b...
    And this is one major reason I love you so much. You make it okay to think about this kind of thing - about ethics and loyalties, group and individual, about *characters* - in ways that aren't necessarily sexualized and/or squeeified.

    In other words, you make me feel better and not like an asshole.

    *more kisses*

    Heh. I am at the point where I will do just about anything to think of characters in a non-sexualized way.

    I don't know how to start the Norrington in Verona Beach spy extravaganza. Woe.
