*winning smile* I'm not going to bother writing up Bloodstock, because - da da-da daaa! - Lorn and I are talking about it on the first edition of our upcoming podcast, details to follow when we're less lazy. Eheheheh. In any case, saves me writing a stupidly long post here. I'm home alone right now - parents are in Liverpool Saturday - Tuesday, which is very agreeable. I've been watching Buffy, eating cookie dough icecream, and doing Tredoku. This is also what I'll do for five years as a student. WOOP WOOP. I've been correcting the observations made about Britain in Buffy. Eheheh. By shouting at the screen. Um. IT'S MATHS NOT MATH FFS AS IN MATHEMATICS ARE YOU SOME SPECIAL KIND OF STUPID. Yeah, so. Um. What else has happened in the past three weeks? Umm. IDK. I have discovered that there's basically no dignified way to finish eating a Magnum. You know when you've eaten most of it, and you've just got that kind of shelf of chocolate at the bottom with some icecream on top? How do you eat that? If you eat the chocolate bit the icecream'll fall off, but it's hard to eat the icecream because you basically end up deepthroating the stick. OH, THE DILEMMA. This must be how Obama feels in the situation room. I'd really forgotten how much I love Buffy. The show, not the character. Every time a character I recognise makes a first appearance I'm like YEEEE JONATHAN/SPIKE/DRUSILLA/OZ YEEEE. I'm glad no-one's home, frankly, because they'd probably have had me sectioned by now. I'd not blame 'em. I've been getting quite a lot of reading done, which is nice. I've finished off Susan Jacoby's "The Age of American Unreason," which was actually very interesting. I didn't agree with everything she said - I do think that videogames and the internet constitute culture, and I'm pretty sure "liking dead Greeks who thought about stuff" doesn't automatically translate to "being smart and educated." I'm reasonably fond of several dead thinky-Greeks but I don't think they're the be all and end all of intellect or culture. I'm not really of a mood to write a proper response to the book right now - and what I just said makes it sound as if I enjoyed it far less than I actually did, because aside from maybe the last chapter I agreed with everything she wrote and enjoyed the way she wrote it. In any case, it's an excellent book, and totally worth reading. Therefore, buy! I'll stop here, for fear of this turning into one of those distressingly frequent stream-of-consciousness catch-up posts. I'll leave you with my enduring unease at the fact that we have Waitrose baked beans in our cupboard. I'm not sure why we've got a more expensive, horrendously upper-middle-class, and yet inferior-tasting product rather than our standard but it's a little creepy. It's not like Heinz is unavailable all of a sudden? |

tired| List of things in fandom that are COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY | ||||||
| Sep. 4th, 2005 | 03:33 am | ||||||
2. Mary Sues/Gary Stu 3. Ship-overload 4. Fanon (mostly) 5. 'Female-in-the-way-of-slash'-bashing Explinations: 1. Ship wars are stupid, folks. No one pairing is better than any other; just look at JTHM slashdom. There's now a huge rift, largely thanks to Ted, who abhors Edgar (or so it seems). Since the JTHM slashdom community is largely based around Edgar (thanks, mainly, to Zarla, who I love), this means there is now an unnofficial war going on. It's sad. In both meanings of the word. I am SICK AND TIRED of seeing huge flamewars erupt, with people who like less popular pairings - James/Lucius, anyone? Kurt/Krist? getting torched into painful oblivion. It's not nice. It's petty to refuse to read someone's fic simply because you don't like the pairing - even worse to flame-review 'em because of that. (Or because you don't like slash. Ggrrrrr. What matters is that it's a good fic. On that note, het and slash AND gen are equal. Seriously. I may prefer slash, but there are people who like het, and a good gen humourfic is always refreshing. No one genre is better than the others. Closed minds are baaaad. 2. I think most of the intelligent fanbase will agree with me here; Mary Sues and Gary Stus are EVIL. They're almost exclusively badly veiled self-insertions, written by annoying sixteen-year-old girls, hyped up on fangirlishness. One day, I swear, I'm gonna write the ultimate anti-Sue for LOTR fandom. She'll be an annoying brat, with mud brown hair and eyes, she'll be HUMAN, about thirteen, rather stupid, and get on EVERYONE'S nerves. It will probably be a gen fic (maybe slashy hints. Who knows?), and she won't kill a single. Fucking. Orc. Ha. Ha. Ha. 3. Okay, I made that term up. But is anyone but me annoyed when you get this huge glut of badfic all for one pairing? Harry/Draco is the first one to come to mind, and I think about half of the HP fandom on ff.net is just horrendously OOC, badly written Harry/Draco smuttage! What about the great pairings of Sirius/Remus, Lucius/Severus, Fred/George (pffst, twincest is fun to write), Percy/Oliver, Hermione/Cho, and (gasp! Het!) James/Lily? Why are they so ignored? God. 4. Okay, fanon. It's a complicated subject, but my views on it are as follows: Usually, fanon is bad. That is because fanon is quite often against the canon. Example: Draco. Canon!Draco is a snarly, petty, spoilt brat, who is very unpleasant, bright enough to be incredibly annoying but little else, and very shallow. Fanon!Draco is a tortured bishie who is under huge pressure (and, possibly, abuse) from his father to live up to the 'Malfoy name', who is hiding feelings for Harry, who self-harms and is all miserable and angsty and stuff. See what I mean? Another example would be fanon pairings; again, Harry/Draco as an example. It's got to the point where people are actually reading into the canon; imagining things that just aren't there. A little worrying. There IS good fanon, believe it or not. SOME characterizations - Vargas!Edgar, for instance, is a good characterization. Admittedly, because Edgar only exists for something like six pages, it's reading rather a lot into (making rather a lot out of) his actions during the breif period; but, then again, he's probably the best developed of Nny's victims (who doesn't survive, that is. Devi's another story). However, it's still fanon, because it's accepted by almost the entire JTHM slashdom. (Exception being Kurimi and her followers, who prefer Unnapreciated!Edgar. However, Edgar/Mmy's never been my thing, so I'll stick with Vargas!Edgar.) 5. Has anyone noticed that, when a female in the canon is romantically involved with a slashable male, she gets bashed SO MUCH!? Buffy. Now, I don't like Buffy much - largely for all the shite she's put Xander through (Spike/Xander shipper and proud, mate), but I don't think it's justified that, just because she gets in the way of your pretty little Spike/Xander story, she should be bashed into pulp, right? (Try writing Angel/Spike instead; she can be a catalyst! Whoo!) It happens to Jenn, too. Yeah, so, okay, Bam was gonna get married to her. Should that make her a target for every Vam shipper's rage? No, of course not. (Do what motherlovemelon did; make Ville and Bam's hooking up the reason that Bam split up with her.) Ditto Ville's fiance. I can predict that every teenaged HIM fan will be spraying venom at that poor woman in the near future. Ginny, too. 'Cause of HBP, Harry/ANYONE shippers are going 'grrGinnygrrDIE'. It's a litte depressing. So, that's my rant for the day. My final words: Edgar/Nny rules! Go Scriabin! Buffy is mean! Xander rocks! Spike/Sid Vicious is giving me plotbunnies! NOW LET'S ALL GO OUT THERE AND WRITE! |

List 10 celebrities you find attractive (in no particular order): 1. Liv Tyler 2. Brody Dalle 3. Tarja Turunen 4. Cate Blanchet 5. Tobi (Davey) 6. Charlotte Hatherly 7. Melissa Auf De Maur 8. Siouxie Sioux 9. Amanda Palmer 10. Kristen Pfaff Ten Fictional characters you'd so get it on with...(in no particular order) (From films, TV, and books): 1. Arwen Undomiel [Lord of the Rings] 2. Thayet the Peerless [Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness] 3. Alexiel [Angel Sanctuary] 4. Mia [Golden Sun] 5. Chaucha [Golden Sun 2] 6. Faith [Buffy the Vampire Slayer] 7. Drusilla [ibid.] 8. AnaMaria [Pirates of the Caribbean] 9. Stella [Interstella 5555] 10. Devi [Johnny the Homicidal Maniac] I had no idea that finding attractive female celebrities would be so difficult. THEY'RE ALL UGLY, GODDAMMIT. I included Toni (Davey) (you know, Dani Filth's girlfriend who doesn't actually have the name Davey 'cause they're not married but HEY) 'cause she's really pretty even though she's only a celebrity by extension. It's dumb - I could rattle off a list of over fifty good-looking famous guys, but I don't find them ATTRACTIVE, unless you could desparately wanting to hug Lars Ulrich (when he was about 19, if I could find a time travel machine or something. Not now.). Yeesh. Why is the human race so fucking ugly, eh? |

The manga club thing...my characters are the most unique (actually, the only ones that aren't, like, identical to the rest of 'em), so Kyara an' that lot are all like 'they're not likeable characters, so we have to change them'. FUCK YOU! They're not SUPPOSED to be likeable! Is any girl called Cthulhu Nyarlathotep going to be a nice person?! I wouldn't mind so much if they were characters I'd come up with on the spot, but I've had them in my head - KNOWN 'em - for AGES. I hate it when people screw around with my babies. I think Zarla would agree with me - she'd never put up with anyone screwing with Scriabin. I mean, they want Caine to be single, which is just...you can't suddenly DELETE Aiden! He's THERE, and he's a huge part of Caine's life - and a major forming part for his character. No Aiden means no Brian Molko crush, no cartoon fixation, and without him to help Caine through the anorexia, our baby-boy'd probably be DEAD. He's hardly expendable, after all. The Unforgiven is SO Katou's song. Whenever I listen to it I get flashes of him...oh, baby. My poor little kitten. Bastard. Fucking BASTARD, scarring my baby-boy like that! Thank you, Kira, thank you for being his painkiller. Love all round, babydolls. SCALLIONS! Oh, Lars, ye're a genius. HAH! Princess is being all disturbed by the gay-bondage-ness on the 'net. Photobucket ish groovy :P *sings* NO FUTURE! NO FUTURE! NO FUTURE FOR YYYYOOOOUUUUUUUUU! Yay! Sex Pistols! Spike + Sex Pistols = Happy Spike! Aww, babydoll. How adorable. ^^ *ducks flying Patsy Cline tape* No, Spike, I didn't just call you adorable! Honest! Wait, was that Xan's tape? Heheheheh... *ahem* Yes. Sorry. Sugar high. Can't really help meself. Will bugger off now, before I type anything even more inane (if that's possible). ~*Gorgonzola! Gorgornzola! Gorgonzola! Ghonnorea! |

Fill the churches with dirty thoughts! Indroduce HONESTY to the White House! Write letters in dead languages to people you've NEVER met! Paint FILTHY words on the foreheads of CHILDREN! BURN your credic cards and wear HIGH HEELS! ASYLUM DOORS STAND OPEN! Fill the suburbs with MURDER and rape! Divine MADNESS! Let there be ecstasy, ECSTASY in the streets! LAUGH and the world laughs WITH YOU! Insanity is my BLISS. No, I didn't write that. I kinda with I had, though. Before I forget (And it IS important) - LAURA CHRISTY'S BEEN EXPELLED! OH, YES! Oh dear. This is not good. The female found My Scorpion - Hell, I only left it open for a minute, but it clicked on it (by accident - oh, sure), and...well, it was the bit after the Claiming. Uui. Apprently, it thinks it can overload my admin priveliges - don't they teach anything worth knowing at that computer course? I've done all I can to make them POWERLESS. This is MY computer, and they'd better damn well learn to live with it. I have the rights here, not them. It thinks it can MAKE me give up my password-protection - not likely. I don't give a fuck what it thinks it can do - it's kitten weak, here. I'm the one who knows this computer, has fucking nursecd it back to health after the male's fucked with it, has lived with it, screamed at it, pleaded with it - it is MINE. The Shadow has touched it, and I do not give up claims lightly. I mean, what I do and read is my business, right? I'm more mature (and considerably more intelligent) than both of them put together, not to mention that I'm TWO THOUSAND FUCKING YEARS OLD. Do they really think they can contend with US? I have the might of the ShadowBrethren at my back, and the IthilMellyn. They are two weak, puny HUMANS - if only, if only. This body irks me like no other - and the time period is...unfortunate, to say the least. There are so many rules and restrictions...it's not good, not good at all. I remember the OLD days, when Ferra and I would hunt and kill at will. Oh, I miss those days, when the scent of blood and flesh was always in our nostrils, and our teeth were never bare of a red stain. Later: Ahahahaha. Is there a word for this? Apart from delusional, of course. Mixing reality and fantasy, forgetting what is a dream and what is not, to the extent that you believe that they're both fantasy, and so you live your life like it's a dream - or should that be nightmare? But dreams are so much sweeter than this - the bitter tang or mortality, the knowledge that you don't matter, not one little bit, to one little person, really. They don't give a fuck about you, and why should they? You're stupid, and bitchy, and a horrible, selfish person, who doesn't deserve to live. I've just realised something. Somewhere, somehow, subconciously, I wanted someone to find this. I actually wanted them to, because if I didn't, I'd have made this private in the first place. Well, I suppose I got my wish - Kyara's found it. She promised not to read the other entries, but...what if she does? What if curiosity gets the better of her...and...Lilith, I don't want to think about that. She also said 'delete this! What is [Hara] finds it?' and expressed the opinion that I seem a little...crazy, and need Prozac. Well, someone shares my views, at least. My manic rage has dissolved, yet again, into my base state - that of self-deprecating, eloquent depression. Oh, I sound so much like Johnny, it scares me. But, then, it would be nice - to be able to kill who, and when, you wanted, never to be caught, to walk away covered in their blood without guilt or fear of...consequences. Mm. I'm tired, and I can't find it in me to type much more. I'm emotionally exhausted, for now. Doctor's appointment - dr. Cahlier (if that's how you spell his name) again. I'm not sure abuot him. He seems to hold the view that it's impossible to be interested in someone who died when you were a toddler - when I told him of my idolatry of Kurt, he replied, 'But he died when you were tiny! How do you know about him?', to which the only legitimate answer would be, 'I read'. 'Those who know nothing about what happened before they were born will remain forever children.', or something like that. It's a quote, up in M23. I can't believe I remembered that. Anyway, I really do have to go, now. Ciao. ~*Love myself better than you, I know it's wrong, so what should I do?*~ |
