thoughts, yes.

So, lately I've fallen a little bit in love with Bones. I'm watching the reruns and for some strange reason, as much as Bones annoyed me when I first tried to watch the series, I find myself kind of loving her now. Weird. I'm all Awwwww over her. hmm.

I also love In Plain Sight. I really like Mary--she's bitchy and mouthy, she doesn't always win and sometimes comes off not very likable, and that's what makes me like her. These are my fun to watch shows, like Rescue Me and Fringe and Leverage--shows that give me pleasure but I'm not moved to being fannish about them. Though Leverage comes close because of Kane, and my beloved Aldis.

Speaking of being fannish about a show, (and for me, being fannish means imagining relationships between the male leads)not that many guys make me think, 'oh yeah, a few beers and a snowed in cabin and they'd so be doing it'--there's Clark and Lex, Dean and Sam (what?), Castiel and Dean (i know! but really, i didn't see it, not when everyone was writing it at day one) Xander and Spike, Angel and Spike (canon!) I think with them, it's right there on the screen and I don't have to do much to help it along. Hardison and Elliot...yeah, I can see it. :) Whit and Clark...maybe. I like it, I've written it--it's not too much of a stretch.

I never really got the SGA, or the SG-1, and I'm not getting the STreboot pairings, but that just makes all this interesting. What is it that makes someone see the possibilities there? I know the exact moment I thought that Castiel/Dean was more than possible--I blame Misha for that. When Uriel accused Castiel of liking Dean--like it was borderline bestiality and for a second Cas looked guilty and Dean looked floored. That moment made it possible for me. The affection Cas felt for Dean was evident, to me at least. And that's what I need to see--some strong emotional attachment. And it doesn't hurt that all of these guys I consider to be hot to death. For me, it's always about the shallow! *G*

I dunno if I should be deep and thinky over this or just random squee.

Even though I love subtext and slash, there are a lot of shows that I just don't see it it. I can see the Leverage slash when I read the fic but it's not something I pick up that often in the show. I'm not sure why. Sam and Dean I read but I don't see it for my own characterization. I've tried but it never works. Cas and Dean I can see but it doesn't rock my world. I'm not into it enough to write it or really get into that aspect of the fandom. Now RPS...Yeah, uh huh, moving on.

I know Angel/Spike is canon and I love Xander and Spike.

I haven't watched SGA enough to say anything about that slash. I never really got into the SG-1 slash, though I think I've watched just about every episode.

STreboot...oh my new obsession. If I can get the characterizations right, this is going to be dangerous to me. Especially now that I'm off the shiny high from SpN and we're in the hiatus. I admit, I didn't really see the slash when I watched it except for a couple of scenes. Then I started reading some seriously good fic and the novelization. The novelization just about make the slash canon. How could I resist? Damn plot tribbles.

I know. Some shows, I'm absolutely confused that folks see it. Main leads being guys doesn't automatically lead to slash for me. (kings--huge yawnfest, i'm looking at your canceled ass)

I honestly don't pick up the vibe from the new ST at all! Nothing, nada--zilch. TOS was stupid with it--you couldn't avoid it! There was no one Spock cared for more than Kirk. I loved the novels--in a guilty way--and I loved the fanzines. Good times those, good times! I haven't read any fic yet, but maybe after I'm done with WTTW, and I've snorfed down all the BB stories, I'll check it out.

That's how it is for me. Sometimes it just jumps off the screen, others I just don't get it. Just because

The novelization of the reboot has a LOT more subtext. Kirk/McCoy makes me squee so hard it's embarrassing. Especially now that I'm reading the novelization and McCoy said he "wasn't sneaking his girlfriend aboard the shuttle." Sure you weren't, Bones. And he says Kirk's going to be his new candy striper.

And BTW, why do I have to find Karl Urban so ridiculously hot?!?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Because he is hot to DEATH!!!!!

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

I know...I'm doomed. *headdesk* And I have a friend that's trying to enable the jumping fandom thing by sending me pics of him all the time!!!!

Sam and Dean will never forgive me.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Sam and Dean???? Hell, *I* won't forgive you! *poutpoutpout*

*oh, yes I will--my spine is made of marshmallows.*

I'm not giving up on my SpN projects, I'm just depressed over the fandom right now. I know I'm probably being a spoiled brat but I do not have a warm, fuzzy relationship with that fandom right now.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Depressed over the fandom? Because they're mostly a bunch of crazzeazzcrazzes? Pooh! Tchah! they're embarrassing as hell and off-putting but they're not us!

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

That and some other stuff. The shine has worn off s4. I keep thinking "What the hell happened?!?" The latest con stuff totally destroyed my J2 muse and...

And yeah, overall there are a ton of people out there that are buckets of crazy.

And I am being an absolute brat and attention whore.

And? you say that like it's a bad thing. :)

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

LOL Isn't it supposed to be?

I've been in fandom for over ten years (OMG I freak every time I realize that), I should be over the brat stage. ;)
