I still remember being snottily shouted down for daring to say that the things people were taking as glaring signs of incestuous Twu Wuv on a certain show struck me as perfectly normal expressions of comfort with boundaries and affection that you can see between siblings who've been raised together all the time. How dare I rub the existence of platonic family relationships in people's faces!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I can name two shows off the top of my head where I'm in complete agreement with you, Matt.
ETA: Four. Five, if we're counting classic shows.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm sad that cut-tagging incest isn't considered to be a reasonable request.

I went back on your Flist because I was morbidly curious (also trying hard not to work) and I see Consuela already politely asked her to place it under a cut-tag. But yeah, if it's not just one person, then it gets more difficult.
On a happier note, can I mention how psyched I am that Iron Man movieverse is taking off as a fandom, fic-wise? I fear I'm sadly getting obsessed. And there will be no new canon for years! Waahhh.

There's a whole bazillion pages of comic books to cherry-pick through, though, especially the part where Jim Rhodes has to sub as Iron Man.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(she said "sub". heheheheh.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I just followed Vonnie's example and looked at shrift's friends, and I was surprised that she had a link to site called Touch My Stump, because I am pretty sure shrift doesn't do RPS. Turns out it was Hard Core Logo, not Patrick Stump!
Also, Vonnie, ever since I mentioned the portmanteau "waldass" I have been seeing it more and more! I may have to quit Blair/chuck shipping!

Ahahahahaha. It would have been very forward-thinking of me, considering that I put that site up when Patrick Stump was still in high school.

Yeah. I'm mildly obsessed, but I don't know if I'm obsessed enough to start reading Iron Man comics going back decades. The character was created in the '60's, right? That's some long-ass backstory. But the bit with War Machine and Tony's alcoholism and the Tony/Rhodes conflict (from what I've read from wiki) sounds like it'd make AWESOME second movie.
(Here is the part where I embarrassingly confess that the only comics I've read *in my life* are Fray, about 2/3 of Watchmen, and and the first couple of volumes of Sandman.)
Turns out it was Hard Core Logo
Wait. Was there an amputee in HCL? I've only watched the movie once and the only scene I remember vividly is CKR licking that knife...
.... um, where was I?
Seriously, "Waldass" is one of the fugliest portmanteaux ever. Although to be frank, I'm mostly boggling that fandom is shipping Chuck/anyone. I only watched the pilot of Gossip Girl, and didn't he, like, try to date-rape someone? Whilst wearing an ascot?
