I've been looking at Jared's pics--son! You got matchstick legs! Brave, you wearing shorts and all.

It's weird--I notice lots of guys have little stick legs, no matter how big they are on top. I can't deal with those stick legs. I never did like them--reminds me of a routine Coz used to do, way back in the day, about having skinny legs and doubling up his tube socks to try and disguise it, lol!! You know, Mr. R doesn't have that problem. Man's got nice legs. Riding bikes will do that. Bikers have great legs, very supportive, strong legs. Nice laps...but I digress.

We were talking about Jared's prison yard physique, and his brand new toy. How much you wanna bet this is gonna backfire on him spectacularly? I've been swimming along the outside edge of SpN fandom for a while now, and I gotta tell you, if there's a crazier fandom, well, right now they must be busy eating their young, because SpN is the What The Fuck Now. I go to that gossip site every once in a while, when I feel the need to murder a few hours of my life. It's so fucking addictive, in a horrible way--it's like watching multiple train wrecks happen right in front of you, or like being forced to watch granny strippers. And give them dollars.

Okay, so maybe I'm wandering a bit. My excuse is that BG and I worked all day outside, scrubbing and sweeping and chasing spiders and bees away, making our front porch fit to sit on. I need it comfy--there's going to be vats of coffee to drink and tons of J2 and SpN to read! *happy sigh* I treat the BB like a box of chocolates--you know, you eat all the cremes first, and then the caramels...yeah, gen is the caramel in my box of chocolates, but this is a fandom where the gen almost reads like slash. Canon! *G* How lucky am I?

Jared has a brand new twitter account--which means nothing to me, I'm the least connected person ever--between this and my damn phone, I'm exhausted! However cute pics of him are turning up and the squick factor is vastly reduced by it being himself posting them. Or tweeting them--twitting them, whatev.

NCIS is *nasty*? Really? I can't imagine how that could be! I can't imagine folks who watch the show getting in the gutter--about what? How weird. Fandom, it's a huge, wonderful, magical, scary-ass, backbiting place, hunh?

Granny strippers. *nods* on par with zombie attack.

I always find BBs like... a year after they were written
I know! I'm still finding BBs I haven't read yet and I thought I got them all! Though finding a new one is like going through an old purse and finding a twenty tucked in a side pocket. :)

Oh., Jared! *shakes head* I went and found it and he's pretty funny... not to mention, judging by the frequency with which he updates, he is already totally hooked. He's a chatty sort though, so not much of a surprise there. But yeah. Disable comments on your pics, sweets, or you're gonna get the bad love. *afraid for him since he is obv. too dense to be afraid for himself* LMAFAO @ his default pic though. I mean, really, Jared? *snorts*

I went rummaging in NCIS fandom a couple of years ago because I could not get over the OLD GUY HOTNESS that is Gibbs and wanted some Gibbs/DiNozzo fic like... yesterday... so I looked and found awful, hateful, unbelievably bitchy wank over there. The Ziva-bashing makes other fandoms and their character bashing look mild in comparison, that shit was death-threat level insane. I started in HP, which is like The Wankiest Fandom Ever and the NCIS lot made the HP lot look polite in comparison.

No, no, granny strippers are not on par with a zombie attack... zombies scare the crap out of me, granny strippers though, while unpleasant to look at, are not likely to try and eat my brains. And if they do, they're just as likely to break a hip trying to come after me, so my chances of escape are good.

That happened to me with SPN/J2 fairytales thing a while back and it was awesome finding all of these lovely new stories I'd never read, all conveniently located in one place. Except... Why so many fics with JDM as the bad guy? I find that happens a lot and it just doesn't gell for me at all. I mean... he seems like such a nice, smiley sort, not the "bite your face just before he cuts your throat" sort. *scratches head*

Ziva-bshing??? I *loved* Ziva--she was a great replacement for Kate. she was tough and funny and sure of herself, a rare believable tough chick.

And if they do, they're just as likely to break a hip trying to come after me, so my chances of escape are good.

Granny zombie strippers come lurching after you, moaning, "Make it--make it, rain, make it rain...with BRRRAAAAAAAIIINS--"

Listen, that JDM thing confounds me, but more puzzling and ANNOYING is making Tom Welling the bad guy--Thomas! The sweetest, nicest person ever!! Grrrrrr

They were all against Ziva because Tony murdered her boyfriend. Obv. she is to totally be blamed for that absolutely, the fact that Tony murdered her boyfriend was totally justifiable because Ziva is nothing but a bitch-whore who got what she deserved. I remember reading all of that stuff and wondering: Where, exactly, is your logic here people? o_O

So wait... Stripper Granny Zombies are lurching after me whilst sing-groaning Tom Waits songs with ad-libbing? SCARY. I like Waits, but not the Stripper Granny Zombie cover I have going in my head now. THANKS, ROXY.

I've never read fic where Thomas is the bad guy, per se, but they make him a creeper a lot of the time. JDM = Evil RPS Character; Tom Welling = Creepy Guy Having a Wank in Your Shrubs RPS character. Either that or they make Thomas quite dimwitted, which... okay, I adore him and want to touch him inappropriately, but that makes much more sense to me than making him creepy-weird. We need to get to the bottom of why these things happen to nice boys in slash fics.
