shimmer and rot at the same time

Things you might want to know: This journal is (mostly) friends only. It's also (mostly) fannish. Icon and fic posts are public. I will probably friend you back if you say hi at some point.

( My fic & picspam. )

Okay, so people asked and people asked and I flaked and flaked because no fucker (erm, character-wise) would talk to me then Derek told me to do it so:

Q. Why do Thursdayverse Frank and Pete hate each other?

( My rambling answer. Warning: Thursdayverse unpleasant. )

The last bits.

Fuck.

I can't even how can I even what can I evennnnn.

&MYFANDOM;.

The Thursdayverse Remix. It's a WIP and it won't be finished, which is basically my fault. This is both proof I'm a jerk and moar Thursdayverse! Only it's the Remix. Which basically means "we broke everything and people seem to universally agree it is even darker than the original".

It's stuffed with bits from plotchatting with Derekles, which amuses me, in amongst her attempts to actually get it written, which are very shiny. Go read it for her freakishly creepy Gabe POV, at least. Or her note perfect TV!Bert.

OMMFG.

I CAME.

Er. UNEXPECTEDLY VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS NOW.

WILL THIS LIVE UP TO THE TRAILER?

PROBABLY NOT.

WILL IT LIVE UP TO THE BRILLIANCE THAT IS THE FIRST FILM?

HELL NO.

BUT RIGHT NOW: I'M SO EXCITED I COULD WEE.

I have no idea I was looking at back posts, but this was posted directly after Dan chatting on Kyte and ahahaha, omg: because dan and jepha are dating and quinn's beard gives dan pash rash.

I STILL need the Frenzal Rhomb song "World's Fuckedest Cunt". ANYBODY?

Re-read valerie_z's oldie but goodie Bert/Quinn primer: (BERT): The first day we met was special; he's just one of those people that you meet in your life that's special. You know you're going to be with this person forever and you know you're going to be close to that person.

AND AND: QUINN: He was in some stuff with his parents, he just needed some space away from his parents, 'cause he was trying to go clean but he was at his parents' house and it was kind of dragging him down. So I was like, "Why don't you come stay in my bedroom?" And we had great times just staying up every single night, like just underneath the stars, going to get quarter sodas, walking around town, talking, just getting to know one another--we just hit it off like that. Jamming on the piano and the guitar...you know, he's like one of the best friends that I've ever had.

Yeah, just. Yep. THEEEEM.

I've no idea why Hal Sparks tweeting at Jepha pleases me so much, but it does.

BERT AND GERARD! MCR AND THE USED! Don't go breaking my heeeeeeeart, oh god. A picspam from morebliss in reply to Frank's twitter about Artwork (sadface).

Joespam!

Bobspam!

There were other meme related picspams that I either missed accidentally or would have linked to if they were unlocked, too &picturememe;.

Writers resource I've barely had a chance to look at, but seems very shiny!

This music video gave me glee today: "Sinnerman" by Extra Fancy. Lead singer is a skinheadesque punk who apparently, according to this video, doubles as a male prostitute in his spare time. BOYKISSING. Queerpunk! Queercore? I know not the name for this genre. I know only that it reminds me of HCL, except far more overtly gay.

This gave me the D:< today: Harley Quinn character design. It's awful, and as someone pointed out in the comments of ix_tab's post, the "naughty nurse" thing is spectacularly stupid. Harley Quinn was an actual doctor, it's part of her character, not her costume. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--

And then I just about WEE'D MYSELF LAUGHING AT BRIAN BLESSED'S TVTROPES PAGE A A:SJD:ALjAY;ashdh ahahahahaha.

Cue me being stuck on TVTropes for a... long... long time. You know what I love? A good Heroic Sociopath! Rorschach! Deadpool! Midnighter! (Or... all of The Authority), :DDDDDD <333. Anyway. Lost a lot of time just there. (... Batman)!

This XKCD COMIC SHOULD BE REAL LIFE. YOUTUBE COMMENTS: MY ARCH NEMESISESESISIES.

*BEN IS A GENIUS

[ETA]: I, too, find this extremely comforting, T-Rex!

BANDOM HEIGHT CHART! This is a MOST EXCELLENT resource and also kind of hilarious, if you look directly between Bert and Josh Homme. Or like, Bert and anyone there. Oh, Bert, you are a tiny tiny man <3.

It also clears up some common mistakes people may make *coughIwon'ttalkaboutDan'sheightagaincough*.

AND IT'S REALLY ATTRACTIVE. Because that's how apiphile rolls.

Picture meme, stolen from intothenightx. I GOTS JEPHAREE.

For the record, I could fill this out another TEN TIMES for Jepha, so none of these answers are totally perfect! And serious. SERIOUSLY. I had more than one option for every single one.

( Jepha! )

In which my camera's fail actually makes some very pretty light textures and also I gave myself a half sleeve with pen the other day that is mostly made up of references to fic: ( also, I answered one of life's most pressing questions about DUCKS. )

AH! I just realised, I swear to go I am so stupidly forgetful sometimes, that I forgot to thank 7iris in my fic header's notes (have fixed that now).

FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU--

Consider this post entirely dedicated to expressing my gratitude to 7iris for being extremely helpful in looking over my fic for me AND for running the whole damn Usedfic Exchange, which made my week.

Which, by the way, there are too many things I loved there to link to individually, but please to be checking out llamapi's, ihavecake's, apiphile's, sinsense's and friggin' everything else there. OH AND graceoftheworld's. And everything. That's just from memory, which we have established is faulty and should be deleted and re-installed.

Is Quinn from Daria supposed to have red hair? I bet Ret a dollar she was blonde and she came back at me with this:



The one on the left is my hair, which uh, obviously is red.

SERIOUSLY?

DO I ACTUALLY OWE HER A DOLLAR NOW?

Aw, maaaaaaaaaaaaan.

But for the re-hee-heckcord, Dan Whitesides isn't actually very tall. Large handed, buff drummerly arms, actually taller than everyone else in the band/possibly equal with Quinn (man, The Used need to do a photoshoot where they all stand in a straight line and no one slouches) and did I mention his arms and apparently the strongest dude Quinn knows, yes'm, but he doesn't tower over his band and I don't think that "big" is really an accurate description of the dude (and he has manly chicken legs <3). EXAMPLE:



Not the best example in the world, because he's actually slumping slightly there, but srsly. And I also understand someone feeling like they're bigger than they are etc. etc. and obviously that could be used as good characterization in fic, but just. He's not huge. He's not a huge big big huge dude.

Except, of course, in his pants.

I have uploaded a MP4 of that video: Here!

[ETA]: Stuff I sing to my cat, take 3748390: "Never gonna give Lu up, never gonna let Lu dooown never run around and desert Luuuu~~~~~".

(Her name is Luthor. CLEARLY).

Okay, so Ben, chorn_man, buddy ol' pal ol' COME BACK HOME GODDAMN IT of mine was like "I lost all my musssiiic, I'm in Geeerrrmannnyyy" and I was like "well, I'll upload you some, requests?"

And this is what he wanted, so since I have uploaded it all for him, I may as well share with everyone else.

Canned Heat - Jamiroquai.
Kate - Ben Folds Five.
One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces - Ben Folds Five.
That's Your Horoscope For Today - Weird Al.
Alberquirke - Weird Al.
Hey! Johnny Park - Foo Fighters.
Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters.
I'm Not Okay - My Chemical Romance.
Blood On My Hands - The Used.
Paralyzed - The Used.

CAN YOU TELL WHICH BANDS ARE MY/RET'S FAULT? I THINK YOU GUYS MAY BE ABLE TO GUESS.

Here are some things I have gotten recently and can't stop listening to:

Arming Eritrea - Future of the Left (this is them at about their most melodic and... sensical, even. Also, it's new! From new album).

Mary Jane - Major Lazer (... IT'S REALLY FUCKING CATCHY, OKAY).

Who Is It? - Bjork (half my love for this is her amazing bell dress in the film clip, but it's a beautiful song anyway).

Sold My Soul - The Used.
On The Cross - The Used (this and "Sold My Soul" are for those on my flist who haven't just downloaded the whole album, so watch as I attempt to convert you all with two of my favourites from it).

ALSO. The beginning of "Blood On My Hands" scares me every single time it comes on. FFS!

P.S.



<3.

( Fukkititsmydayoff spam! Now with 100% more The Used. )

OMG!

It was 12:34:56 7-8-9 today!
