In The Rhythm Of Loving You

After much swearing and hairpulling: My Masterlist of fic and art is finally up to date again :D

MASTERLIST

I went to the supermarket yesterday.  There were fairly long lines with the pre-Thanksgiving crowd and the cashiers were hauling whole turkeys over the scanners. 

 

I was very grateful not to be working in a supermarket anymore. 

 

In fact, the market was always open on Thanksgiving and I started working there in September of 2006 so this is going to be the first Thanksgiving since 2005 where I won’t have to go to work. 

After reading through the metafandom links about tags and warnings (which, by the way, are not the same thing), I feel like I should make a post to help my flist out.

( Read more... )

Last night I had a dream that was backstory for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. I was a young girl in a very wealthy family and the Basterds were using our decrepit summer estate for training. My mother cautioned me very strongly against associating with the Basterds but I think I sort of had a thing for Donny (aka the Bear Jew) who I referred to as a Golem.

What tickles me most is that not only do these two songs share key thematic elements, but they share the adjective-train-home title structure. MY INNER GRAMMAR NERD GETS OFF ON THIS FOR SOME REASON. And they're each really quite lovely songs (this first one? Was that perniciously indescribable melody that was running through my head all those weeks ago, driving me to the brink of insanity textLJ. Obviously, I've listened to it about 40,000 times since I figured out what it was.)

The melancholy one: Door Train Home - Fischerspooner

The happy, eager one: First Train Home - Imogen Heap

Plans for the rest of the day involve making pancakes, cleaning my room, whipping nano into shape, and avoiding getting called into work. My stomach is audibly grumbling; there is a reason pancakes are the first on that list. *dashes off*

So it turns out the first thing I write is for a band I don't even know anything about and have maybe read one or two crackfics of. Ummm... *peers at brain* Yup. And I am including the name of the band that the band dudes come from in the header, because that is what I told redsnake05 she should do when I started getting into this fandom. I CATER TO NOOBS, OKAY.

Title: A Treatise on the Practical Advantages of Invisibility
Pairing: Pete/Patrick [Fall Out Boy]
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Voyeurism, dub-con, invisibility!sex, stealth fluff
Word count: 3885
Disclaimer: Fake, never happened, no aspersion intended, &c.
Summary: One day Pete discovers he can turn invisible.
Notes: Set in some kind of post-high-school/college AU where the boys appear to be roughly the same age. The facts I know about FOB's history or members could be easily held in the palm of a premature infant's hand, so this might as well be bandom-inspired original fic. Originally written for anon_lovefest, with the prompt "Pete somehow has the ability to turn invisible and follows (bb!)Patrick into the bathroom and watches him shower, change, sing embarrassing songs, sleeping, etc. When Patrick is sleeping Pete feels him up and fingers (and eventually fucks) him."

Many thanks to [Bad username: verbosewordsmith] for looking this over and offering invaluable facts about canon which I then ignored. And I owe icanhaspancake about a million internet cookies for betaing this even though she knows even less about bandom than I do. <333

( After the shower incident, Pete knows he has to watch Patrick again, as soon as possible. )

Alpha Challenge

I realize I forgot to repost this.

I just finished watching season 1 of the television show Heroes and I can honestly say I’m a little obsessed. It’s not a great show but it is totally my kind of show, a sort of sprawling mishmash of elements from X-Men, Watchmen and the Manchurian Candidate and post 9/11 paranoia with lots of grandiose themes, moral ambiguity, family dysfunction and general angst.

I find myself particularly fascinated by the relationship between Peter and Nathan Petrelli. They’re brothers—Peter is a hospice nurse and Nathan is a lawyer running for Congress—but the intensity of their interactions makes them seem more like lovers.

I always wonder where stuff like (i.e. homoerotic and/or incestuous subtext) this comes from, is it intentional or just a quirk of chemistry? In some cases it’s conscious (on the DVD commentary for 28 Days Later for instance, Danny Boyle acknowledges that yet, Major Henry West is acting in a seductive manner towards Jim) I always wondered if while he was making Reservoir Dogs Quentin Tarantino told Tim Roth and Harvey Keitel to play Mr. Orange and Mr. White as a romance or if it just happened.

Some actors I’ve noticed just seem to have a particular gift for getting all over their male co-stars in a suggestive way. Viggo Mortensen (see him with William Hurt in A History of Violence or Vincent Cassel at the end of Eastern Promises) and Peter Stormare (Constantine, Prison Break, the Brothers Grimm) immediately come to mind but there are definitely others.

And speaking of slashy goodness…

Now that I’m done season 1 of Heroes I’ve started watching season 2 of the BBC show Merlin. Amusingly the season premiere starts off with scenes of Merlin rushing to a shirtless Arthur’s bedside and later Gwen doing the same for Morgana. In this series, I definitely think the homoerotic subtext is very conscious. There’s too much of it for it to be anything else.

I have mixed feelings about Merlin. On the one hand it feels like a rehash of the first couple seasons of Smallville in a medieval setting. Of course originality isn’t everything, but there’s a certain stagnancy to the show. It seems to tread water, never moving forward. Each episode seems to return it to a status quo. That said I do enjoy watching it because it’s so well done and beautiful to look at. The costumes and scenery and production design is wonderful. I’ve never seen a show with more vivid use of color. Katie Mcgrath and Angel Coulby, the young actresses who play Morgana and Gwen are absolutely exquisite. I could stare at Colin Morgan’s (Merlin’s) cheekbones all day and Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is wonderful and magnetic as the very ambiguous King Uther.

I’m feeling much better than I was when I posted back on the 9^th. 

 

My health insurance finally came through so I’m taking my medication at the proper dosage once again.  I’ve also taken steps to get my daily calorie intake up to a level where I’m functioning instead of just surviving. 

 

Other positive things—

 

After a couple weeks with nothing promising on the job front, about four positions have come up in the past few days that I’m going to apply for.  Maybe something will work out.  Not that I’m terribly eager to get back to work (because let’s face it, its work) but I’d feel a bit more secure with a steady income and some reliable health insurance coverage. 

 

The weather is wonderfully mild for mid-November, temperatures in the 50’s and 60’s this last week. 

 

I’m getting back into the habit of writing everyday, which is great.  When I’m not writing I always feel sort of directionless.  Practicing and honing my craft gives me a real sense of purpose and accomplishment.   

 

I find taking care of my grandmother really rewarding.  Since I moved in with her, I’ve taken over changing the bedding every week and yesterday she thanked me for that and was telling me what a terrible time she used to have doing it by herself and how much easier having me around made life for her.  It really makes me feel good knowing I’m helping her even if it is in a very small and simple way.

Since I sadly have had issues with people not paying up for art they received and this seems to have become a fandom trend, I have decided to revamp the whole commission process:



I am asking that commission money be donated here: Grameen Fundation

Grameen Foundation helps the world’s poorest, especially women, improve their lives and escape poverty through access to microfinance and technology.

Global poverty is a daunting challenge. But by making very small loans to very determined people, we’ve seen millions of the world’s poor pull themselves out of poverty.
