I wish I was a mermaid and was friends with all the fish

So, the Young Justice finale happened.

( Endgame )

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT ROOKIE BLUE FOR A MINUTE?

( Spoilers up to Brotherhood )

So, I watched Monster.

( Hey, maybe we're all going to die, let's play poker )

THINGS I AM REALLY INTO RIGHT NOW: ROOKIE BLUE.

I blame crackers4jenn 100%, I had no interest in the show at all until she started flailing about it. And I thought, okay, I am always in the mood for a new ship, what could it hurt?

THINGS I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT ROOKIE BLUE: IT HAS WHITNEY FROM SMALLVILLE, I LOVE THAT GUY, NO LIE. AND THE DUCHESS FROM ALICE (♥ ♥) AND EPHRAM OMG, I TOTALLY DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM FOR 3/4 OF THE PILOT EVEN THOUGH I SAW HIS NAME IN THE CREDITS. OOPS.

Basically it is Canadian in a way where it never actually says it is, which is slightly confusing because in the first few episodes it sounds like everyone's trying to be from Jersey? Or possibly New York, IDK, I am not actually great with North American accents, but now everybody just sounds really obviously Canadian and it is really great.

( Some flailing, a little spoilery for character/relationship dynamics )

ANYWAY, PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT crackers4jenn SHOULD BE WATCHING THIS WITH ME, AND PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME THERE IS FIC FOR MY OT3 OUT THERE SOMEWHERE?

I keep meaning to do these for shows I love, but I finally got around to finishing this one, so whatever. Basically: Diplomatic Immunity is awesome and sweet and adorable and hilarious, and you should watch it, HERE'S WHY.

( Diplomatic Immunity )

Fanworks for the show are (sadly) rare. I haven't been able to find any fic (HINT: YOU SHOULD ALL WATCH THE SHOW AND THEN WRITE AWESOME FIC ABOUT IT), but I do have a couple of multimedia recs:

[vid] Iko Iko by mresundance. Whether or not you have watched, or are considering watching, the show, you should definitely check out this vid, because it's awesome and hilarious and basically everything I love about the show.

[art] Diplomatic Immunity by talumin. Malepe! I mean, the whole picture is adorable, but Malepe is my favourite bit. He likes the ladies.

You can also find out more about the show via the official website.


... And that's pretty much it. Seriously, you should watch the show - there are only thirteen episodes, just over twenty minutes each, and it's one of my favourite sitcoms ever, so. Give it a shot - you know you want to.

I threatened promised to post about Make It or Break It, and here it is: I just watched the mid-season finale!

( At the edge of the worlds )

I think I'm going to have to do a picspam: Payson Keeler, Look At Her Face, She Is Adorable. Or maybe: You Should Ship Sasha/Payson, The Subtext (And, Occasionally, Maintext) Commands You. And somebody should be making Make It or Break It vids, there is lots of flipping and stuff, it could be cool? And there should be more than, like, a dozen Sasha/Payson fics out there, maybe I should fix that? But, in the meantime, a couple of recs:

Going For The Gold by monimala (Sasha/Payson, PG-13) Sasha is wooing Payson. Payson is dating Sasha. Where do they go from here? Adorable post-"What Are You Made Of" fic, where Sasha realises that, hey, maybe taking a girl to a romantic night out at the ballet is kind of like dating her.

Not Just Yet, But Almost by JenniferCarolyn (Sasha/Payson, PG-13, some outtakes rated R) They stayed late at the gym one night, perfecting Payson's new floor routine, but a small celebratory kiss begins to mean so much more. Their chemistry is undeniable and it's only their circumstances that keep them apart. This is a WIP, and usually I don't even read those until they're finished, but this one is so worth it. It's all about Sasha and Payson and their ~secret relationship, and it's wonderful.

LOL jengrrrl I GET THE PASSWORD NOW.

( Legend of the Seeker )

I FINALLY WATCHED SUBTLE SEXUALITY AND IT WAS EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR. THE END.

OKAY, NOT THE END. "WE'VE MET BEFORE." THE ENTIRETY OF EPISODE TWO ♥, CAN I PLEASE MARRY MINDY KALING NOW?

GOD, RYAN/KELLY, WHY DO I LOVE YOU THE MOST OF ANYTHING, EVER?

So, I finally managed to watch the new episode of Wizards Of Waverly Place! My copy was totally out of sync, which was a little distracting, but I managed to have thoughts.

( Wizards Of Waverly Place )

This is the first time I've actually had new WOWP canon, since I got into fandom after the movie came out. It's very exciting.

Okay, it's officially surprising how reinvested in BSG I am now that the show is over. Which is odd, because it's not like I really loved the finale. (There's definitely something about imperfect canon sources and fannish impetus, particularly since the character I'm most in love with right now is Boomer.)

I rewatched the miniseries a week or so ago for bsg_refrak, and then I watched all of season one (because I love that season, like, unreservedly), and then today, I watched the miniseries again. And, I don't know, I really feel like the miniseries gets better and better every time you watch it - like, the first time I watched it, I remember it felt like it went for about six hours, and was just incredibly dense (but awesome). But after the ... fourth or fifth time through, it feels really well-balanced and easy to watch and not too heavy at all. Which, in retrospect, may have something to do with the fact that I first started watching BSG after starting SGA ;)

Anyway, I was going to watch season one - again - but I decided I felt like watching season 4.0 instead, since I now have it on DVD and everything. So I'm doing that. It's actually a lot of fun, especially since I can marathon it now; I didn't get to do that the first time through, and it's definitely the way I prefer to watch my TV shows.

What I should be doing, of course, is working on my Big Bang(s), but, I don't know. I'm really procrastinating on that, plus they're just ... not BSG. I have very little time for things that aren't BSG right now. I'm feeling almost monofannish, actually, which is something I've never felt before. It's new, and kind of exciting (if somewhat inconvenient, re: the aforementioned Big Bangs).

I still need to type up some episode reactions (man, I haven't done those - at least, for non-BSG shows - for ages, but Greek came back this week, and I am so freaking excited about that), plus a couple of BSG meta posts I still really want to write. And vid recs, because I really believe, in a totally subjective and biased fashion, that BSG fandom has the best vids ever. And my March fic roundup (of all of two fics), which I will post shortly. At least my miniseries(-ish) picspam is nearly done.

Plus, I am kind of having vid thoughts. Which, I know, I say that from time to time and inevitably never follow through. But this time, I actually have all the footage already sourced, which is usually my biggest problem - like, I run out of vidding momentum before I even really get started on a vid, which sucks. So, who knows. One day, I swear, I will actually make a vid, and not just parts of one.

Also, it's 3pm and haven't slept, so - maybe I should get on that?

ETA: Dude, what's going on at Kindreds? (I mean, I guess I could check it out myself, but.) I haven't visited there for ages - I should really rectify that, once I get it together enough to write some Helo/Athena fic.
