Entertaining in a Disturbing Way

- I'm on a Narnia kick again, just as a warning. Part of that is telling everyone to go watch this vid, because it's amazing, and I've watched it like 8 times in the last two days: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41655432

- I've been re-watching the Walden films, and the commentary and BTS stuff, and really enjoying them. I disagree with various choices, but I do at least love the final product for the first two films. The third one is... ok. But really pales to the other two (unfortunately, but I don't know how they could rescue it).

- I listened to some of the Torchwood: Soho box sets, they are the gayest fucking thing ever, and the snark is perfect. A quick grouping of quotes (the best was Norton whining about wanting to kill more Nazis, I love this man, ok)

"No woman has ever had an idea that a man hasn't improved by repeating it louder." - Norton Folgate (being sarcastic, though somewhat honest given history)

"I saved her life, and she didn't give me a biscuit." - Lizbeth Hayhoe

"Alien invasions don't normally stop at the county border." - Andy Davidson

"You're a rebel."
"Oh my god, please tell my mum, she'll be well pleased." - Gideon & Andy

- Seriously, TW: Soho is so gay (Gideon is Norton's boyfriend/ex/boyfriend, Lizbeth corrupts Wrens [and is sad she's no longer with the war office to do so], Andy is Gideon's sugar daddy...); and so OTT, and the characters are complete assholes (except Andy, who is always having a very Trying Day). I cannot imagine them managing to get this as a tv series without toning people down, but I'd love them to make a go at it.

- I tried listening to the Last Centurion stuff they did for Rory, and unfortunately, it's not as gay as TW, and Arthur Darville sounds too American. I have most of the Amy & Rory era as sound files, and I used to listen to them constantly, so that tiny variation, which is probably sound quality or something put me off.

- Now if only BF would do another Torchwood One box set. I miss Yvonne. :/

I made a fanmix! I don't think I've made one of those in an age. Pretty sure the last one was Kara Thrace/Sam Anders and Debbie Gibson songs.

Andromache/Quynh fanmix: https://the-old-guard.dreamwidth.org/6577.html

Old Guard recs (I'm taking my time reading through this fandom):

And the commentfic thing:

COME JOIN the comment ficathon for The Old Guard!

ALSO.

There is a kink meme: https://theoldguardkinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/

So, there is a zombie apocalypse thing, which has produced fic. Some of which is good. (some of the prompts are vaguely interesting, so I have added them to the massive fic prompts file)

This? Is hilarious and amazing. It's the Black Books zombie apocalypse. Wine, Biscuits, and Scrabble.

I made 30 banners for the femslash_today porn battle. idek. I got carried away. (also, I really want to re-watch Night Watch.)

Alice/Johnson, Aftermath. It's them dealing with events, and painful and harsh and lovely.

Excellent, EXCELLENT Kate/Ashley fic that has a wonderful Kate voice. The Story Needed Mending. (and it's LONG AND PLOTTY, TOO)

In other news, I had to ahem 8x08 of Spooks as the disc wouldn't play wtf. OHMYHEART

a. BSG: newskool: Kara/Caprica-Six fic (4.5 angsty femslash)
b. Covert Affairs: I can has Joan Campbell (and Auggie) fic (set during 1.06)

C. in Harry Potter-land, what sort of smallish magical monsters are available? Or is it just the normal sort one would expect from a magic-filled place, like basilisks and balrogs?

You guys. Havoc wrote St. Trinian's/Stargate Atlantis fic. It is so awesome

I SQUEAKED IN GLEE.

3. The possibility of a Pretender re-watch going on at rebuilding_sl27
4. There is also tw_bigbang starting up.
5. Castle/Fringe, Beckett/Dunham (who knew I'd find them hot and porny?)

Some lovely, pre-series Caprica/Gaius

My thoughts on Leverage (let me show you them!) are still percolating. BUT OMG MY SHOW IS BACK. =D

1. Kara/Sam fic! porny and angsty and not-porny Both post-Revelations.

2. Off north.

3. Want to stay home and read Slow Decay. Sigh. Er. And also re-watch some Torchwood episodes. sigh.

4. Also, I can then do a random compare/contrast of TW and PKJ. For kicks.
