No

I am not having a discussion about whether fangirls will ship ChrisEvans!Cap and HugoWeaving!Red Skull when fandom has repeatedly proved willing to go there. Even on S_D, no one will argue with that, just that it's mean to put it out there. Well, fuck it, if Raiders of the Lost Ark came out today, there would be a hundred fandom secrets about how "adorkable" Toht was and how hot it was when he was about to torture Marion. I'm not casting stones, I get off on some weird shit too, but you've gotta be able to step back and say "oh, fandom" before you get to liking the smell of your own farts.

I'm just saying that a good shipping portmanteau for them would be Red State. Not because of some Nazis = Republican thing -- I live in Texas, we have the Alamo Drafthouse, fuck off -- but because red as in skull, state as in America. It's genius in its simplicity!

LotS fic: A good fit (Cara/Kahlan/Richard)

I'm posting this to the femslash comms because even though it's an OT3 fic, I think it centers enough on the Cara/Kahlan point of the triangle that even "eww het!" people should like it. When people talk about how slash is socially transgressive, this must be what they mean. If you're not satisfied, please return unread portion of the fic for a full refund.

Title: A good fit
Fandom: Legend of the Seeker
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 968
Characters/Pairings: Richard/Kahlan/Cara
Summary: Cara has a few problems adjusting to every aspect of her relationship with Richard and Kahlan.

I'm fine, aside from the two hundred pounds of Lord Rahl on top of me. )

Quick question

There is a difference between "derailing" and "not letting anyone add to a discussion anything that doesn't wholly support one point of view," right? Because we do have the technology to make separate "comments" on a "discussion post," so if the "derailing" is in its own "comment" and you don't want to engage with it, you can simply skip over it and continue to one saying that the penis is evil and the gun is good.

Fuck yeah I'm ending this post with a Zardoz reference.

Smallville 10x6 - Texas Chainsaw Lottery Children of the Breakdown Have Eyes

Not bad. Not good either... the A-plot was so derivative that I'm not even going to bother to think up an analogy for how derivative it was, I'm just going to steal some synonyms from an online dictionary. Ahem: copied, imitative, inferential, not original, plagiaristic, plagiarized, rehashed, secondhand, uninventive, unoriginal.

I just didn't buy that a bunch of Quakers/Amish, who take strict oaths of nonviolence, would turn to murder for pretty much no reason. I know, meteor rocks driving them crazy, but a whole town? But hey, I guess put a lot of Christians together, they're going to turn into Serialkillerville.

P.S. Hands up if you kept a straight face during the love scene. Because I was all
