Saturday is such a wonderful day.

1. This week's b7friday challenge is 'women to the rescue'. I'm sure you're all terribly unsurprised that I've been contributing.

2. Which is at least something, as I've managed literally nothing for the femslash_today porn battle, and nothing for Day whichever we're on for PoD's 12 Days challenge (yes, I'll post the next day in a bit, since we should finish before going back to the re-watch; which, btw, I find terribly amusing that prozacpark and I are behind on it, and even with the delay, we haven't managed to catch up)

3. I think there's bsg_remix to write, too. (hey, can we not have any porn battles for a while, fandom?)

4. There's this thingie: het_idcrack which is... apparently a ficlet battle collecting prompts, the theme of which should be women in charge/saving men/being on top, etc. I'd be more gleeful and interested if there weren't quite so many gender-swap pairings. After all, if the goal is women being awesome, it hardly helps if the women in question are canonically male. (wow, I hadn't quite figured out why it bothered me until typing it out)

5. I need to decide if I want to make the graphic I thought up tangentially while doing something else, or if I should leave it. Yes, that's cryptic and annoying.

6. I have a parade of redheads standing above the laptop keyboard. Well, and one brunette. (I shudder to think what would truly happen were Jean Grey, Mystique, Kitty Pryde and Natasha Romanova to team up. Mayhem does not quite cover it)

7. My Kara and Leoben arrived during the week (I'm not sure how long it's been since I originally ordered them, but... longer than a year, at least). Leoben is dressed atrociously (as he should be), and actually looks pretty CKR-ish. Kara is 4.5 Kara, with only one dog tag. They come with the Arrow, the tube to hold it (which it doesn't fit into, DESIGN FLAW, people), a pyramid ball and the Top Gun mug (now I have, like, three of those).

8. I have this urge to dig out old Avengers comics and re-read the whole Crystal/Sersi/Dane/Pietro thing for kicks. (ok, really I want to write Crystal/Sersi fic and it's been too long to remember details)

9. I need to play with icons, self.

THIS THIS THIS.

Genderswap fic bugs me so much because of this. It's like either the women aren't awesome enough on their own, so we gotta turn a guy into one or the women are only awesome if they have a penis.

The funny thing is that I sometimes enjoy genderswap. But, well. Again, there need to be other canonical women there.

Sigh. No rest for the wicked!

4. YES. That. :/

4. I suspect it is Kara's, though it would be hilarious if it were autographed and Leoben's. =D

2). In my defense, I got distracted by "Farscape," and then was sad that I missed out on the rewatch, figuring that it had ended. But we should catch up because season three is secretly all about the OTP. <3

7). I really like this Kara, and now I want a prettier Sam (with the other dogtag) to go with her. Or, you know, any Sam figure that doesn't hurt my eyes from the wrongness of it. Leoben can watch, I suppose.

8. OMG! I remember that! It actually had me hooked on the Avengers for a while. Such awesome soap opera. I always rather liked Crystal. And Sersi when she wasn't excessively unstable. Hmm, I'm so out of date with my comics. I wonder what all of those guys are up to now. And Luna. Guess it's Wiki time.

Pfft. I have no idea what you're talking about, NOTHING has happened since 1996. =D

I had no idea it was soap opera that I was reading at the time, I was just pleased that it was twisty and wacky. Of course, at the time I first read it, I was an X-Factor fan, so Pietro was my boy. But Dane was really really hot, and it was v hard to blame Crystal.

Dane is actually, or was, running round Britain as part of MI-13 (and doing splendidly).

2. I KNOW IT IS. It's just, sad and sniffle-inducing at times. Also, I want to throw things at them (also, hand-kissing. OH SHOW)

7. HAH. Yes, I would like a better Sam. I would also like a Kara with bare arms so she has the tattoo. =D
