"You're just about the cutest little male stripper of a bodyguard I've ever had"

1. "Late bloomer" & ★ "Fairy Tale" (Scorpius, Draco, G, 2 X 100 words)

2. [identity crisis] On Race, or Privilege, Or Just Being Human
Rights, I guess, equals entitlement, equals a demand for privilege. It's hard for me to think of a right to be free when I've grown up in a family and a society where my family members - and country members - have sacrificed everything they are (in "Western terms") for their family. Their time, all their income, every inch of their soul and being, in family. Their children are their assets, their stability is their bedrock. Whatever right one has to be something less than practical, to leave the family home, that right gets overwhelmed by other desires. Same as freedom. The desire to see parents happy, or the wish for a smooth life, even in exchange for doing what one loves.


3. Why Aren't People Commenting on My Post/Story/Whatever?
15% were planning to get back to that post later. It's open! It's in a tab! Or it's in Read Later!
[...]
10% of the people who read you only lurk. They lurk everywhere. Maybe they can't type. Maybe they have tentacles and can't find a tentacle-ready keyboard. You don't know. And do you really want to risk displaying your prejudice against the betentacled?

4. Mmm, Catholics, you deviant old thing, you
Legend says that Bacchus appeared to the dying Sergius as an angel, telling him to be brave because they would soon be reunited in heaven.

While the pairing of saints, particularly in the early Christian church, was not unusual, the association of these two men was regarded as particularly intimate. Severus, the Patriarch of Antioch (AD 512 - 518) explained that, "we should not separate in speech they [Sergius and Bacchus] who were joined in life". This is not a case of simple "adelphopoiia." In the definitive 10th century account of their lives, St. Sergius is openly celebrated as the "sweet companion and lover" of St. Bacchus.

AHAHAHH Patriarch!Snape X-D

5. Why Dreamwidth?
The question then is: why don't people click on ads on social media sites?

[W]hen you're browsing your Livejournal flist or Facebook feed, what you're not looking for is to purchase something. Not usually, anyway. Spending money is probably the farthest thing from your mind. You're looking to find out what your friends have been up to, browse your sister's vacation snaps, or read some fanfic. Buying something is probably the farthest thing from your mind.

He allegedly fell for me/ through an open window

The rest of Maria Mena's 'I'm in Love' lyrics )



In that new HBP trailer, what's that thing Draco holds up to the light? A dust mote? =O
Am referring to the cabinet scene.

Also, yay for pretty straight-haired brunette Katie! =D (Mainly for Drop Dead Gorgeous visualization purposes)

That unicorn-in-captivity tapestry in the background of Harry/Ginny? Totally on purpose. Because their love is SO PURE and some such. James, Al and Lily were products of immaculate conception MWAHAHAHA.
For some reason, I had a flashback to the second Matrix movie when I saw that scene.



1 a. Am so crazy-obsessed with this fanvid:
Merlin - The Dance (LJ post) by mamoru22
Merlin/Arthur vid to Maria Mena - I'm In Love

1 b. Untouched by solanyxe
PG-13, 'Untouched' by The Veronicas, 00:02:55
Summary: Arthur and Merlin both feeling 'untouched'

Motivational posters by andropovka:
2 a. Ventriloquism: "Ooh yes, Arthur you're so strong!"/ "Mmm, Merlin, I need you now!"
2 b. Sweet: Son, men do not give each other flowers.
2 c. Kingship: We built this city on rock and roll. And dead magic people.
2 d. Unwise: When dealing with an aerial foe, get into a target-shaped-formation
2 e. Arthur fanboy: the lights are on but there is no one home. Mmm muscles...

3. otempora42's Ep. 1x05 picspam: I love how everyone just stands around while Arthur does all the fighting. Makes you wonder why it's so important to be of noble birth when you're just going to be Arthur's cheerleader.

[info]seperis' listfics:
4 a. Three things that Merlin doesn't know about Arthur, but will do, eventually.
4 b. Five magical creatures Arthur didn't kill
4 c. Five ways Arthur almost found out about Merlin, but didn't.

5. Awesome personification of emotion as laid out in 1 Corinthians 13:
Of Anger and Love by Ras Elased
Summary: Anger is a false thing. It is never alone. Anger lies like a harlot with a multitude of other emotions, shrouding them in her bed linens to hide them from sight...Love, when it is true, is always alone.

1 a.
Jonathan/Jack: "Is that what you're wearing tonight?"

David: *looks down at his military dress*

Jack: *looking laid back and awesome* "I'll have something of mine sent over."

David [179 cm]: "I think you're taller than me."

Me: ORLY?

Jack [180 cm]: "I'll send the tailor with it."

It's only one centimeter! Oh David, why so insecure?

1 b. David wearing Jack's suit = Jonathan giving his robe to David. Huzzah! \o/

I'm so loving Kings Ep. 1 right now

I would totally get into this fandom except I'm afraid of the inevitable Kings/Eragon x-over O_o
This will probably be like House M.D. for me--love the show, read fanfic only occasionally, write genfic if I ever get around to writing fanfic.
I'm def. buying the whole set once it's out on DVD. Which would make it the first TV show I actually want to own. It is _that good_, people.



This has turned into a "Spot that Biblical allusion!" game for me =P
(Typed this as I watched the show on NBC.com. Am currently re-watching it <333)
Click "CC" on the bottom right for close captioning/subtitles.

My blow-by-blow (read: SPOILERIFIC) reaction to the awesome episode:

If you need convincing to watch the show, read #21 )
