Thoughts on Teen Wolf 3x03



Of course Jeff Davis introduced a sexually confident teenage girl and two queer girls just to murder them. Of course he did. #jeff davis is a gift i'd like to return

AW DEREK DIDN'T HAVE TO KILL HIS SISTER YES. He sank against the corner and I felt really bad for him, guys.

Aha the dialogue with Peter, though. If I shipped slash I would have a lot to work with. DEREK WANTS TO LIVE UP TO SCOTT'S IDEAL. SCOTT'S MORAL CENTRE IS RUBBING OFF ON HIM. The growth from season one through season three was actually decent on that count; Derek is so isolated and emotionally dysfunctional, but Scott pulls him back down to earth and bucks his power trip and reminds him about people, and consequences, and that you have to earn respect.

Stiles did not have many redeeming moments this episode. You know, he's an ass and he's ruthless, he cares about only a few people and will throw the others under the bus in order to keep his circle of loved ones safe. Those are all character traits I can and have a history of loving. But he still treats Lydia with abusive misogyny and the cringing embarrassment of a 'virginity is an actual thing' storyline spoiled the rest of it.

Allison's arc last season was so disjointed and unpleasant - it's a relief to have her onscreen now, pinging my competence!kink and feeling emotionally fleshed out. (That's pretty much all due to Crystal's work rather than the writing, but whatever.) Also, someone described the show/this episode as 'dudes talking about doing stuff. allison does stuff.' Which made me laugh during the episode as they expositioned while she was busily working.

If the Hero from episode one doesn't come back - sly remarks from management pretty much confirm she's not dead - soon I am...going to be exactly as disillusioned with this show's

I am getting SO MUCH GLEE from Melissa being a part of storylines this season. They're criminally underusing her of course, but ugh she's so gorgeous and clever and funny and warm. Probably the only true adult in the cast. (Other than the potential of the teacher!)

Chris Argent is still a shit with no right to hold a grudge. He's denting my ability to enjoy JR Bourne's stubbly face, but I'm more or less enjoying his screentime as a plot device. Stop threatening a teenage boy of colour because he dared have a consensual relationship with your daughter, okay?

Peter is still evil, and now he's verging on boring as the 'won't kill him, continue to give him no motivation and cardboard come to zee dark siiiide speeches' goes on. HE. SHOULD. BE. DEAD. We're probably not going to get to see Cora rage over 'hey, he murdered your sister' (the fact that Derek was like 'my sister's alive!' to Peter was....um....) and that makes me angry. He was a great villain in season one. I loved him. Season two was a mess. Season three he's tedious with no centre. And I'm having a hard time even considering Ian Bohen eye candy.

The new lady teacher is precious and I'll ship it, I'll take it all the way. I'll take any excuse for more ladies and so far she's hardworking, protective of her students, thinks up clever ways to engage with them and has pretty good sense. (Anybody would freeze up when two growling wolfbeasts approached in the high school basement. On that note, that scene was thoroughly lacking in proper atmosphere. THERE WERE OTHER WAYS TO SET UP THAT SCENE. WALKING SLOWLY TOWARD HER, REALLY? That's more of a cat thing.)

Oww :(

Fighting a migraine today. It started around two this afternoon and is still going strong. Ugh. I'm staying away from the heavy duty (i.e. narcotic) pain pills I have because I can't stand the side effects and am making do with over the counter migraine meds. So far I feel like I might as well have not taken anything. But who knows? Maybe the headache would be a whole lot worse right now if I hadn't taken the pills.

I can hardly see out of my left eye. Very annoying. Feels like there's a little man drill drill drilling into my left eye socket from the outside in. Stupid little man. I probably shouldn't be in front of my computer right now, except that I felt like complaining a bit. I seem to be doing that a lot lately. :(

Other than that all is well. Sent off my novel to the publisher this morning and am waiting in terror/hope to hear back. It might take a while since things tend to move very slowly there.

I think I'll try to go lie down now. Sleep sounds like a very good idea if I can manage it.

Cats don't cuddle, either, by Rebel

While I didn't write a Cuddle Day story myself, my dog Rebel wrote one in heaven and I typed it for him.

Happy Cuddle Day, everyone!

HAPPY CUDDLE DAY!

Master List will be posted tomorrow, but for now, here's my contribution.

TITLEKLEENEX!FIC - A CUDDLE IN THE DARK (a snippet)
AUTHOR[info]happier_bunny
Beta: Thanks to [info]xie_xie_xie for making this readable.

Justin rolled over sighing as the soft click of the air conditioner broke the silence surrounding the loft, filling the room with cool air. Barely awake, he burrowed under the covers, wiggling closer to Brian.

As the chilled air swirled over the sleeping bodies, Brian's hair brushed over Justin's nose.

Justin sneezed.

Without even waking up, Brian fumbled under his pillow, fingers brushing over the bottle of lube as he pulled out a few Puffs Plus.

"Okay?" Brian mumbled as he pushed them into Justin's hand.

Justin breathed "Love you" against Brian's lips as he answered him with a soft kiss.

Pulling Justin close, Brian drifted back to sleep.

Fic: Only Right

Late, late, I'm so very late. :( BUT I did manage something for this month's [info]daily_deviant so yay? :)
Anyway, the stars finally aligned (or whatever passes for my writing process these days) and I produced the following.

Title: Only Right
Author: [personal profile] alisanne
Characters: Harry Potter/?
Rating: R
Warnings: Bondage, the suggestion of dub con but not really.
Themes/kinks chosen: padlocks and strapping
Word Count: ~1550
Summary: It's only right that Harry's evenings be enjoyable.
Author's notes: Once again I'm late. Circumstances converged to make managing a fic for my original posting date impossible, so thanks to the mods for allowing me to post today, and of course, to my beta readers: [personal profile] sevfan and [personal profile] emynn.
Disclaimer: The characters contained herein are not mine. No money is being made from this fiction, which is presented for entertainment purposes only.

Only Right

Also, I've now reposted last month's DD fic (it was Snarry, btw) in my journal. Read Pub Night on IJ/LJ/DW

Power Rangers peeps

If a dragon were to desire to mainline RPM, what would be the best way to do that? Unless Amazon is lying to me, it is free-streaming via Amazon Prime. OMG I know what I'm doing tonight.

(For the record, I still believe the little girl who asked which Ranger looks best in his spandex tights will one day grow up to be Ranger Series Pink. My desire to re-watch RPM has nothing to do with the possibility of fic on this topic.)

Edit: And then I browsed my RPM tag for the first time in DEAR GOD HOW IS IT THREE YEARS???? and discovered this plotbunny: When the apocalypse wipes out most of the vampire population, and the demons all retreat to their various hell dimensions, what's a Slayer to do? Well, trying out for the open Power Ranger slot seems like a good start... (Yes, I want an AU where Green is female, competent, and more than happy to put the smackdown on Ziggy when he says something creepy.)

I'm also LOL'ing at my repeated "OMG Dr K, no, I didn't mean to does not get you off the hook for destroying the world. No, not even if you're responsible for the survival of a tiny handful of humanity. Just NO." I'd forgotten how much that pissed me off.

Hot Hot Hot

Remember when I said yesterday that it was hot and that it didn't cool down during the night? Well, today it was worse (about 36°C/97°F) and tomorrow it'll be even hotter. Of course, then we'll be due for some big ass thunderstorms.

Also, I'm still melting - as is my muse. She's apparently made out of chocolate. Or ice cream.

It's roughly 29°C/84°F in my room right now. I kept the shades and the windows closed all day, so it could have been worse. And now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be putting my sheets in the freezer for a while.

Yay for me!

So once again I have been remiss. *hangs head*
I need to point you all to some fic that's been created for me. :)

First, the lovely [info]gin_tonic wrote Arbutus, as Snarry drabble, for me. Thank you, sweetie! :)

Then, [info]torino10154 drabbled more Snarry for me. New Perspective features a determined Harry and a nicely intrigued Severus. *g*

And finally, my darling [info]lilyseyes wrote another delightful installment in her SIU series for me, Lasting Friendships, and it's inspired, as always. ♥

Do go check these out if you need some quick Snarry goodness. :)

Check out them apples

Well, fuck. Just deleted my post accidentally. Damn. Here's version two.

I meant to point to this ages ago but the lovely [info]gin_tonic wrote a yummy Severus/Harry drabble for me, Nudge. There are a couple other drabbles in the same post for you to enjoy as well.

Though I am behind reading everywhere, I found time for [info]mindabbles latest [info]daily_deviant fic, Disorderly Conduct. It's Remus/Sirius and feels like comfort food. OK, hot and spicy comfort food. ;)

Lastly, [info]gryffindorj just posted an angsty H/D ficlet that the Drarry fen on my flist might want to read: This Man. Trying not to give away the tone of the piece but personally I love seeing Draco's emotion like this.

Now let's hope I can post this before I fuck it up. :P

Random observation after fruitless searching.

I'm beginning to realize that actively trying to find a new fandom to get into is a lot like trying to make yourself love someone you just sorta like. :P

Ficlet: Nocturnal Cuddles

Title: Nocturnal Cuddles

Imperious meows today ^_^

Thanks for all the finger crossing, prayers, and hopeful thoughts. My meezie is more alert today and has actually moved from her chosen spot a few times.

When I woke up I was greeted with her imperious meow (which I haven't heard in days) and she ate a good amount of her favorite canned food.

Maybe she dealt with her demons last night, when she was reminding me of a baby bunny one of my past cats caught that I rescued and tried to keep but died of shock a few hours later.

Regardless she's acting more alive so I'm going to be happy and think positive that maybe things will be okay.

While loitering in Barnes and Noble earlier today (they had zero YuYu Hakusho, something that pained me in my soul area) I noticed they had a decent collection of the manga versions of Alice in the Country of _____.

I pawed through them, (roused only by the PA system announcing there were fifteen minutes till closing, haha, manga you are the bane of my productive existence) and though I like the Hearts art best - which I read ages ago - that most prominent romance takes the creep stakes (which apparently was added in completely extraneously, as his character was not openly misogynistic in the games or other manga?) and most of all, I love Alice. I just want to pet her and put her somewhere safe and cuddly and affirming and ARGH.

Manic shopping spree, or healthy interest in grooming?

After going five or so years without wearing makeup, I just dropped $20 at Shiro Cosmetics</i>, mostly sample sizes. Maybe putting on makeup would be a way to bolster my resolve on Monday mornings; if so I just bought about 20 tipping-the-scales in favor of going to the clinic, and that is worth it.

Off to Amazon to buy eyeshadow applicators...

 Slow going, sorry about that! Although this will be one of those rare cut to the chase stories, I can't go off on any 40 page tangents. ;)

I do not enjoy doing backgrounds, obviously.
