thursday is almost friday

1. I have slogged through to Horse and His Boy (I do not hold with this 'in canon order' nonsense, and prefer my Narnia out of timeline order), which is unfortunately hard-going due to, well, the racism (only the white boy is 'good'). I find myself actively disliking most of the "they need improvement" lead characters (Eustace, Edmund, Jill, Aravis, Shasta). I expect it's a lack of empathy for misbehaving and selfish children? I don't know. Possibly, I over-identify with the ones in charge like Susan and Peter.

2. I'm still unable to hear assss-lannn without snickering. Luckily, more of the audio readers go for azzz-lann or az-lawn.

3. Links:
SGA Kink Meme: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_kinkmeme/1800.html?style=mine (you will want the style=mine part, that is the ugliest layout ever)
Porn Battle Round-up from last time: http://community.livejournal.com/bsg_pornbattle/17538.html (also, the fifth round starts taking prompts tonight)
bsg_kink is voting on the recent drabble contest.

4. Ladyfest recs:
Amy Pond and Mrs. Peel (not by me)
nu!Trek, Uhura (also not by me)

5. I find myself oddly amused when I watch stuff with River and the Doctor. As much as they're being pushed as 'shippy', they're... really not. Like, they are, but they aren't. If that makes any sense. They're more caught up in events around them instead of Angsty Looks or kisses or whatever. I suspect this is why I sort of back-handedly ship them? Hrm.

6. On another note entirely, I tend to stop paying attention to reviews of Who that include phrases like "I prefer Amelia" or "I didn't like River in SitL/FotD". Just, y'know, an fyi. (also, it's totally the best way to get me to ignore you. Start every post with it, and you become invisible =D) (ps, try to explain and I'll probably killfile you for the annoyance)

7. I had forgotten this icon. Also, bluediamond421 is watching Lantis for the first time and would possibly like non-spoilery season-one Sparky fic recs. ;D

OH FANDOM.

In the files of "Fandom needs to stop claiming it doesn't hate women" we have:

1. Supernatural fandom with a tumblr for killing off the last woman standing on the show.

2. ONTD hating on women while trying to sound fashionable and cool. (note, the original article is also a source of stfu, stupid people)

For those wondering, Yes, the Ladython is still going BOTH versions, in fact

eta: I meant to add that Megan has some very awesome icons *copy/pastes her list*

39 x Allison to Lillia (Allison arc)
27 x Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge
45 x Fairies of Liao Zhai/ Liao Zhai Qi Nu Zi (Lian Cheng arc)
19 x Florence Nightingale (biopic)
27 x Foyle's War (series 7)
30 x Ryoko's Case Files
30 x St. Trinian's School For Bad Girls
48 x St. Trinian's: The Search For Fritton's Gold

Instead of doing anything useful tonight.

I made this, and wrote a scene. This is only the beginning, if only so I can think of ways to keep ripping off the pilot episode of Leverage.

I have decided, btw, that Helena Cain is Sterling.

Disclaimer: not mine. Leverage and BSG totally don't belong to me, and Laura Roslin is not an alcoholic bastard with a death wish. Also, there are Daybreak spoilers.
