A-AWESOME

IT'S ALREADY OUT. HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS.

On the other hand, I was watching it going 'I really hope Lola gets to do more' and she doesn't even appear once. **sulks**

Why yes, I did update Dani's facespace status while hiatused. We can all blame entouraage for this.

I've also made a decision. While I can't bring myself to do journal comments and such just yet, I'm completely willing to help people out with their rpwrimo word counts. I'm writing like a maniac this month anyway, so what's a few more words here or there?

BECAUSE I'M A SLAG... come tell me how much you like me @ the SNAPS memething.

/sells out and marries someone fifteen years my junior~

This just seems so unfortunate:

You know what I'd normally be doing on the 5th of this month? Lighting a bonfire. Yet another Guy Fawkes night I'm going to miss out on, because I doubt anyone would want to join me on the beach to set fire to shit ... Doesn't help that walking is a pain in the arse at the moment Fuck

I think I might have to de-hiatus, just to do the snaps cup meme.

ETA: my link. I'll go start posting on the rest of y'alls once I'm done with my wordcount for the day.

After seeing Zombieland again for the second time, I have this REALLY REALLY REALLY bad urge to play a Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin father/daughter team that cons people out of money and are totally ruthless and awesome together.

Where the hell am I gonna find that?

I have never read or seen the Dragon Ball, and yet when I saw a page about the history of Honolulu on their site (.gov and everything) that mentioned "King Kamehameha I, who conquered Oahu in a decisive battle..." my mind went straight there.

**shakes head** Internet fandom osmosis is no joke.

I need to stop getting, like actually angry over the shit Allan Ball does to Charlaine Harris's books, but this just stirred up boiling anger that never left me.

Ball said the Vampire King of Mississippi is coming in season three. He provides a contrast to Sophie-Anne, the Vampire Queen of Louisiana (Evan Rachel Wood). “He’s older,” Ball said. “He’s much more mature. He’s much more methodical and grounded. She’s kind of crazy. To me, she’s kind of like Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan, where she has a very short attention span and she’s very, very egomaniacal and very self-obsessed and doesn’t really think about her actions, whereas the Vampire King is very much an adult. He has an agenda. He has things he wants to achieve. I think he’s much more formidable than she is.”

So basically, he took Sophie-Anne's character and gave it to a man. Who is, of course, this being True Blood, 'much more formidable.' And set her up to take a disastrous fall and have 'higher' vampire authorities PO'd at her.

I mean, he spends the entire second season undermining and sidelining Sookie--I'm not even mentioning Calypso being turned into Maryanne--and a fair amount of the first season too, so I'm not surprised, just frustrated all over again.

ALLAN BALL. SOOKIE DOES NOT NEED POWERS TO BE AWESOME. SHOVE OFF.

All I've been doing is complaining lately!

I'm not sure why Uther being an asshole is supposed to surprise/alarm/set off warning bells for anyone. So he indiscriminately murders his people, but they're shocked if he taxes them? He isn't acting any different than usual, beyond fawning over Sarah Parrish, who is actually kind of awesome.

ETA: Guys, I can't help but think that saying 'Uther is good king except for the whole magic thing!' is like saying, 'he's a good boyfriend except for the bit where he stabs me in the face when I breathe in the vicinity of another man!'

On Hating Female Characters.

For a while now I’ve been thinking about how many readers seem to hate female characters more than they hate male. Or rather that the same behaviour from a male character is okay but someone inexcusable in a female.

NO KIDDING. I read and enjoyed this post a while back, but a link popped up on my flist, and I returned to it and decided in light of some recent comments I'd read that it needs to be sung from the rooftops.

She also has a very good post here: The Advantages of Being a White Writer Highly recommended.
