swing while you're winning

[mimesere]

Getting back into the swing of things is difficult. Baby steps. *Shallow* baby steps. And it's really not that I stopped being fannish over the timeout so much as it was that I reevaluated much of a) how I respond to fannish texts and b) how I respond to fandom in general. That is, possibly, a post for another time. But I will say that things have changed. A little. Maybe.

I digress.

Y'all, Patrick Stump is smart, talented, and hot like a girl[1]. He is, in fact, hot enough that I am considering going to a Fall Out Boy concert at the Pond in May. I'm 27 years old. As fun and awesome as I find their music, I fear going to a concert full of over enthusiastic emo teenies. This is why annavtree needs to be west side (*gang sign*). Also because she is evil and worked her evil wiles. And also because she is adorable and awesome. Whatever. I got her with Supes, she got me with Patrick Stump. I consider it a fair trade.

More on the subject of Patrick Stump And How He is Incredibly Hot:
mimesere: curse you! *fist of fury*
bballespresso: what?
bballespresso: what did I do?
bballespresso: besides pimp you into this fandom to begin with?
mimesere: that!
mimesere: that is what you did!
bballespresso: it's not my fault patrick is a lesbian
mimesere: it *is*
mimesere: *blames you irrationally for patrick's dykeyness*
bballespresso: hahahaha
mimesere: mmmmm drumming
bballespresso: it's kinda awesome isn't it?
mimesere: ...
mimesere: patrick needs to do me right now. or sing. or both.
bballespresso: he can just sing for me
mimesere: awwww, shirtless andy!
bballespresso: I don't want to sleep with lesbians

and then:

bballespresso: god, he is so gay
bballespresso: he's singing showtunes!
mimesere: my sekrit lesbian girlfriend?
bballespresso: yes
mimesere: yay!
bballespresso: your sekrit lesbian girlfriend is gay
bballespresso: and by gay I mean he likes boys
mimesere: except for how he is sekritly a lesbian!

Other boys I currently love like burning include:
-Roy Harper (not a lesbian). Because seriously. How awesome is Roy? His immediate response to Hawkgirl, complete with mace, is: "Pretty bird." I believe he should immediately have sex with Zinda (cracktastical OTP represent!), Dinah, Kendra!Hawkgirl (if he won't be horribly killed by Carter), Donna, and Wondy. I *really* think he should have immediate hot sexin' with Wondy. As it would be mutually fun. Someone who is not me -- like, say, juleskicks or pearl_o -- should write that. Because seriously. Wondy + Roy. HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE?

-Nathan Petrelli (also not a lesbian). Um. Um. COULD HE BE MORE MY CRACK? I do not think that he could. I loved him before (no, really?), but the latest run of eps on Heroes made that love grow exponentially with like, every second he was on my screen. Oh, Nathan. *hearts* [2]

-Ryan Dunn (not a lesbian, but totally gay. thelionforreal has convinced me of How Out He Is). Hah. Bet you thought I'd gotten over that, what with Dunn TRAGICALLY NOT BEING IN UNHOLY UNION. But no. Because this week's ep, with its two seconds of SHEER OTP AWESOME, was wonderful. Also, he will be in next week. Yay Dunn! I believe utterly that he and Bam have broken up (amicably) and that Dunn and Knoxville are currently hittin' it like gangbusters.

-Mike Celucci (still not a lesbian, but awesome nonetheless). Um. Yeah. He's a bitchy stoic cop! Also, he has the incredibly good taste to want to hit it with Vicki Nelson, who is a bitchy, stoic, former cop turned detective! Oh, wacky canadian supernatural beastie fighting cops. Hopefully, Mike will follow the book trajectory and become so awesome I could die.

Anyway. Music!

[1] Which is, at least for me, different that being hot like a boy. Hot boys I look at and not want to do them. Hot *girls* I look at and go, "DO ME DO ME DO ME." This is possibly TMI, but there you go. Hot as I find Ryan Dunn? I don't want him to do me. Jaime Ray Newman can have me any which way she wants. Patrick Stump is hot like a girl. Hot hot hot.

[2] There is something, I think, to be said about Nathan and Hiro and why they, separately and especially together, ping my buttons hard. But that can wait for whenever I get around to talking about Sheila's Pairing Dynamics and You - A Rough Guide to Pimping. Because...seriously, y'all. I'm so easy it's not even funny.

Someone else who's watching Blood Ties! I liked the pilot a lot more than I expected, and that includes all the lead actors. Young Henry, especially, was not a total teen movie pretty-boy, but actually managed to be catty, dignified, and believably threatening by turns. Huff always said that Henry was lithe, looked younger and was shorter than Vicki, but it was still quite startling to watch the "feeding" scene, which was actually more sensual because of the Madonna and Child connotations.

(They so keep setting up great comebacks without following through, though. I mean, what else should Henry's answer to You don't look a day over 450 be but, "The all-liquid diet does wonders.")

I am really happy about like, my sunday night supernatural procedural double feature of Dresden Files and Blood Ties. It makes for a good evening of tv filled with pretty people and snark and monsters that get beat.

And hee! There should totally be more quipping. But that's true of most things.

[coniraya.livejournal.com]

Blood Ties is definitely on my to be watched list. Especially with the praise it's getting.

Also, glad you're back!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed it very much! Blood Ties is campy supernatural procedural fun! Also, with hot people. It turns out I'm really easy that way.

[flyingtapes.livejournal.com]

yay! happy to see you 'round these parts.

OH GOOD GOD YOU KNOW HOW TO TEMPT ME. I need to read more Outsiders first, but oh, Roy. Made Of WIN. And now I am going 'well, I wanted to write Mia/Cassie, but I can do that too!' and what I think it is, is that the entire Arrow and Wonder families just need to team up and be awesome together.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Dude, Roy is...just the *best*. Seriously. I'm SO HAPPY he is in the JLA with the trinity and Hawkgirl and Dinah and Vixen and BLACK LIGHTNING OMG and whatever, Hal and Red Tornado, but seriously. Roy/Wondy. Because he would totally be all, "Er. Not that I'm protesting, right? Because that would be crazy and I'm not saying that I'm not *great* in bed, but I'm not *godlike* and this seems a little Mrs. Robinson of you. But hey, if you wanna, I'm totally down with it." and then after he like, disarms himself and pulls off his shirt, he's like, "Um. Bring the lasso, yeah?"

Because Roy's type is apparently Chicks Who Can Totally Kick His Ass.

what with Dunn TRAGICALLY NOT BEING IN UNHOLY UNION.

I know, what the hell?! I haven't been watching every ep of that, but I keep waiting for him to show up, and he never ever does.

I confess that I find Bam a little less adorable without him. And he's so fucking bratty without the rest of the Jackass gang to make him feel like a big pussy. Every time he's an ass in his new show, I want to be like, "Yeah, but remember when that cobra made you CRY???" (Because that was so fucking cute!) I think he either needs Knoxville's suicidal idiocy one-up-manship or Ryan's big gay love to keep his natural dickishness in check. *g*

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Dude, I actually *stopped watching* because a) Bam was being a complete dick and b) Dunn was nowhere! But now he is there! And I am happy! They *totally* hugged and Bam was all, "Where have you been?" all pissily, like he was saying, "You were supposed to be here FIRST. Why was Wee Man first? WHY?" and Dunn was all, "I missed you too, asshole." I may have made really high pitched noises. Also, Dunn sent Bam a rubber snake for christmas! It was fucking adorable.

And yeah, Bam does need someone...who can absorb his dickishness without amplifying it. He is almost unbearable without that.

Oh, how I have missed you and your making things I haven't the slightest interest in sound like the greatest thing since, like, EVER.

And also, my lady watched Blood Ties and essentially ragged on it with unholy glee pretty much throughout. At least until some goth chick (I'm going by her report, I didn't watch it) redeemed herself with blackmail, or something, which convinced her to at least watch episode 2.

The cop? THE COP!?!

Ewwww... Much ewww. Darling M (aka Darling S) it is good to have you back online, but the taste seems to have suffered during hiatus!

As my puddin' pie says, I watched the pilot (but never read the books) and other than thinking Henry has the most perfect jawline, ever, I was left hoping that Victoria and aforementioned COP! would somehow be bumped off and the show would be redeemed by becoming entirely centered on Henry and his need to have at least three naked people in bed with him every episode, with comic relief to be provided by the Goth chick that seemed to bounce back from the loss of her boyfriend uber quick when she found out vampires really *do* exist! :D

Seriously, what am I missing? Cause right now the fun in it is picking out the Canadian scenery trying to masquerade as a US city and figuring out the order in which the lesser characters will die. Are my standards just to high for Lifetime? Not possibly, I watch ANTM and the porn that is the search for the next Pussycat Doll. Surely the bar can't be too high?

(And for all my bitchin' I'm DVRing the series anyway. :P)

Hugs!

Oh, Celucci and Vicki are total dicks to each other and everyone else. But they're super competent and stoic and bitchy and thus, totally my type. Though I will admit, it took until about book...four for me to sit up and go, "WAHEY, CELUCCI, HI THERE HANDSOME." But it happened! And I carry that love with me!

Sadly, Henry annoys me and makes me want to punch him repeatedly in the face. He suffers from Forever Knight/Highlander syndrome, where like, pulling up to a stoplight is reason for a protracted and annoying as piss flashback. I...do not like flashbacks. They um. Yeah, no.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Hee. My magical recapping skills mostly consist of pretending everything is HIGH DRAMA OMG.

And Blood Ties is...*thinks* It doesn't pretend to be anything but a supernatural procedural on Lifetime, and so I love it for the silly procedural campiness with a high dose of, "hey, hey, let's do something sexy, yeah?" It just makes me smile. Also, um. Everyone is hot.
