Lines in the Sand
Saturday, 23 July 2011 12:53I want to do a whole post about the Paul Simon concerts because mksdauyfr jdaifuwiej ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I believe that basically sums it up. So I will do that eventually, maybe tonight. For an old dude, he sure is energetic!
Also from Thursday I think I want to make a post elaborating about the Kushiel books. For the record, my thoughts re: those books include both positives and negatives, and also quite a lot ofgentle loving mockery. I do love them! But in that special fannish way that goes 'lol!' a lot.
Memo to brain: it is not okay to want to make X-Men fanfic out of everything you read while studying for a genetics exam.

fannish5 post, so I want to answer this week's but I can only think of one off the top of my head: When a character rejects another character romantically, I will never be able to ship them. Ever. If the ship manifests in canon I will resent it forever. All the examples I can think of are from Homestuck of course but I have a thing with characters getting what they want too often. When the 'what' that they want is a person, that magnifies pretty much exponentially.
Bottom line is I resent romantic entitlement in characters.
