Okay I'm reading those tomorrow. Or rather later today.

Oh! There is the (not exactly sexy, but so, so, so funny and so in character) Jeeves and Wooster Omegaverse fic from Yuletide. You should read that. EVERYONE should read that.

I don't think there is enough alcohol on the planet to make me able to properly appreciate that.

No, seriously.

I burst into the flat and, before I could yell out to Jeeves to explain the sitch, was hit whang in the beak with the most scrumptious smell that has ever tickled my nostrils.

“Good Lord!” I cried out. “What on earth is that ambrosial scent?”

“I fear that would be me, sir,” came Jeeves’s voice weakly from the vicinity of his bedroom.

So damn funny.

How do we put off reading a "Ned Stark is too stupid to live" chapter? By reading Plei's link.

Maybe I should wait to read that until marijuana is legalized in Minnesota.

My personal rant is the fucking Modern AU

Haaaaate. Now that I think about it, I agree with Debet that a lot of it is because it's easier to write. So many of those AUs give me the feeling that the author is primarily interested in playing with the pretty, pretty characters.

In other news, I think I have to read that Jeeves fic. That looks hilarious.

Loki/Thor aside, I'll read just about any pairing, threesome, or moresome in the MCU as long as they don't commit character assassination to get there. Tony's superheroing is hard on those around him. I can read stories where he and Pepper can't make their relationship work, break up like grown ups, and find other loves. I've also read Tony/Pepper/Steve that I enjoyed, as well as Tony/Pepper/Bruce. When written well, it's all good. (well, maybe not Ward/Skye--I haven't tried that and don't plan to do so).

The Leverage vid linked above is good. I don't normally care for that style either, but the vidder made good clip choices and edited them together well. Have y'all seen thingswithwings Leverage vid, Parachute? [link]

I love the Parachute vid. It makes me so happy. If you need happy watch that.

I watched a vid recently and from the source, song choice, and subjecsubject I thought it would be good. And it had potential but the bidder muted lyrics and added dialogue over them to get the messay across and most of the clips would have told the story fine. It is also an action heavy source but so many of the clips were long shots or talking heads.

Then there's another vid I need to hunt down the source material ( I forget which show ) doesn't have a lot of movement. Well not like Leverage style but the bidder created a flow and movement with edits using shrugs or turns, etc.

That Leverage vid by thingswithwings is a thing of joy and beauty forever. I rewatch it often. Not only is it full of OT3 feels, it's got impeccable timing and musicality.

Dialog inserts rarely work for me, unless the video is just a straight up funny moments compilation. But I've run into some folks for whom dialog inserts are a given (a lot of youtube vids are like that), who said the *lack* of such inserts felt distancing. So it's all about what you're used to, I guess.

A/B/O gets an automatic back button for me, which is ironic since I gather it originated in werewolf fics and I've been fascinated by werewolves since I was a kid.
