Am-Chau Yarkona, in Literary:
It's when it's a thin book with a big cast that you start to think maybe the cast should be thinner. And I don't mean in the 'they should diet' way.

Try saying 'Mountie' without saying 'Mmmm' - you can't, and there's a reason for that.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Y'all have been very funny today:
Shrift: He's a cute little Interior Decorator with an accent who dances and sings. He's an Interior Decorator who has yet to be named. Together, they fight crime! Fabulously!

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
shrift in Firefly:
I'm trying to sit on my snark today. It doesn't seem to be working. I may have to borrow Vera.
Hey, you know what I want? Every time I need rescuing, be it literally or figuratively, I want a bigass ship to fly overhead and open its cargo bay doors to reveal a harnessed Jayne drawing a bead on whomever needs to leave me alone.
I think that would be nifty.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Holli, probably best to white-font that. Bits of it, anyway.

Tyr - he's the jaw-droppingly beautiful man - I mean, head turning, rugby-tackle-him-reflexively- upon-first-sight-and-start-humping-his- unsuspecting-self-like-a-bitch-in-heat- before-you've-realised-that-you're-in-the- middle-of-a-cocktail-party-and-nobody-has- even-introduced-you-to-him-yet level of Beautiful? Yeah? (Although I suppose in those circumstances one could always beg cultural differences, and claim that in the UK it's called a CockTail party for a reason, and whoops, you mean this isn't an orgy, how dreadfully embarrassing, ho ho ho, could somebody possibly pass me an h'ors deuvre? And oh, look over there, a juggling elephant! - at which point you drag the man into the nearest possible closet with muttered offers of no-strings blowjobbage and get him naked as fast as humanly possible). 'Cause I don't watch Andromeda, but I happened across it this pm whilst frantically vaccuming the cat to avoid essay writing, and sweet weeping mother of God, he could make me give up girls entirely.
I don't understand how they ever get anything done on that ship, actually, because surely everyone's first thought upon waking must be: "Hmm, consciousness. Must go get Tyr naked and have hot monkey sex." Or possibly: "Hmm. consciousness. must go get Tyr naked and have hot monkey sex, and then punch the captain for being an irritating git." But apparently other stuff happens too?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Belated apologies for Angus, for my having assumed he didn't know the kind of people who would get parts as extras in bad vampire movies. I hereby state for the record that Angus is the kind of person who knows the kind of people who would get parts as extras in bad vampire movies.
