I keep running into stories that are deeply disturbing but just so well written. I tell Amy, "I just read the most wonderful story. Don't go anywhere near it, you mustn't read it, it was just so amazing." It generally involves kids being seriously hurt, which upsets her. I generally test read/view things for her. But I was able to show her a good-parts verson of Silence of the Lambs that showcased the amazing hottitude of Starling/Lector and why Hopkins won that Oscar while avoiding the worst of the gore. "And hte rest of it just gets messy from here, so we'll just rewind it now."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Okay, hitting the "More Random Crap I Want to Read" bin.
We'll start with Wes pairings I haven't seen.
Oz/Wes, Gavin/Wes (okay, so I might have to write that one), Riley/Wes, Anya/Wes (hmm. Would almost have to be played for comedy, post 6/3.)
Then the just way random shit
Oz/Connor, Mayor/Snyder, Ethan/Olivia.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I saw an Oz/Wes somewhere recently, but now I can't remember where. Sheila, or maybe Kate Bolin. I think.
I really loved those Lost Boys incest stories, and then I decided to see the actual movie, and it killed it for me. "But, but, but they're so young!" I thought. "They have baby fat! They have chubby cheeks! I can't read about those children having sex," and indeed I can't anymore.
I was also having fun mocking the badness of the movie until I hit a scene that scared me, and then I stopped watching. Because I'm not so good with the fear.
Signed,

(Um. Yeah. Sometimes I do have to watch Buffy with the lights on.)

Nice is different than good.
I haven't seen Lost Boys since I saw it in the theatre when it first came out. I remember it being kinda silly and kinda scary, and that Keifer Sutherland was hotter than Austin in August. When I met my husband (14 years ago - ack!) he was a dead ringer for Sutherland in Lost Boys. Which explains why I fell head over heels for him before we'd exchanged more than 3 words. . . .

Sweet, thanks, Micole and Shrift.
I have to dash to work, but so far, it's lovely.

And now here I am, and it's still lovely, and I couldn't save it for later. Huh.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, love research. If it's good enough for Giles, it's good enough for me. If anything, I take it a little too seriously. But that's part of my charm, I hope.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
a) Love y'all
b) Want to cuddle Mz Lizard
c) Can't stop singing "Mr Morton is the subject of the sentence, and what the predicate says, he does" whilst bopping in a profoundly uncool fashion - I do hope I get to work Schoolhouse Rock into my classes somehow, whether it be in English, Music, PE or whatever.
d) "Oh, Fay, that is the slashiest episode. Did you notice the way that Tom and Harry fell asleep holding hands? Awww. Sure, Tom was delirious at the time...." YES - they were just unbelievably cute. Cuter than Captain Cute covered in kittens. Bless. And it would be such a teeny tiny step to add sexual frustration to the mix of impulses being stimulated by the clamps in their brains, and make so much sense. I'm fond of B'elanna (although clearly not enough to go look up the spelling of the woman's name) but I do feel that she had no business breaking up the boys. Sigh.
e) I must admit, when I watched The Lost Boys I was oblivious to the slash. But I was all over the fact that it was playing out Peter Pan scene by scene, up to the whole Nana/Nanook (? or whatever the dog was called) business, being tied up outside the house & barking helplessly at the flying 'children', and the fact that they'd cunningly set it up to seem that Keifer was the Peter figure, with Star (of David) as his Wendy and the wee rugrat as the wee Darling boy etc etc...while all the time it was secretly ShopGuy who was the Peter figure, with the Mom (what is her name? Just dropped out of my head, but I have such a crush on the woman) as Wendy & her 2 kids as the Michael and John (or whatever the Darling boys are called) figures. And the comic geeks are the indians. It's a thing. I can't remember it all now, but I worked it out at the time and was very impressed. Go Them.
(er...also? I have the soundtrack somewhere. sigh.)
In retrospect I do see that it is slashy as fuck.
