It's not my beautiful cake, but I watched it anyway. Some very slick editing in there.

Indeed. I think I watched it... once.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I've only watched it once as well, and I felt kind of... validated by the vid in my incest squick because I thought the vid pointed out (very compellingly) how damaging such relationships are, especially re. the victimization of the younger sibling. But others into the pairings got "yay, my pairing, so wrong yet so hot!!" so it was an interesting discussion afterward re. what the viewer chooses to take away from the vid depending on their fannish position.
I never got around to putting up vid reviews from the Premier show from the last VVC. Probably just as well, since stuff I would have said about some of the vids probably would have rubbed people wrong.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
everyone's so gaga over CK in Leverage right now
I wish I wasn't so distracted by his hair.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, I so understand. I've not seen Leverage, but any time I see CK I'm distracted by the hair. It's such a pity. You know, from my own pov. Clearly he likes it, so that's nice. But I'm not a fan, and it does distract me.
Meanwhile, could anyone beta me a Dean/Castiel thing I'm writing? Given that I've only seen 4 1/2 episodes of SPN Season 4 at this point? Pretty please?

Fay, I'd be happy to help out. Profile addy is good.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Absolutely, Fay. Profile addy works.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Totally random fic rec request:
Matilda has been gorging herself on Miyazaki movies for the past few weeks, and I'm getting more and more entranced with Spirited Away: the richness of the characters, the vividness of the world of the bathhouse, the glimpses of other worlds, other stories (the shadow people on the train, the two figures waiting patiently at one crossing as the train zips past, the shadow girl playing hopscotch at one of the stations. Imagining what sort of young woman Chihiro grows up to be, wondering if she and Haku ever meet again and if she recognizes him, wondering if Lin ever gets her train ticket away from the bathhouse and where she goes to).
It's just such an incredibly rich, detailed world, and I want more. So, to prevent myself from blundering into some badfic horror, I'm asking all y'all, (a) does Spirited Away fic even exist, (b) is any of it as shimmeringly good as the movie, and (c) if the answer to (b) is yes, who's written the good stuff and where does it live?
Thanks!
