tuck a knife between your ribs, beautiful

Oh Inception fandom, lol. How quickly you've lured us in and established yourself with amazing fic and already standard fanon. I guess it makes sense that the more unpleasant bits of fandom would have to show up sooner or later as well.

Time to relearn how to ignore the bullshit. Kpop, you taught me this; I will master it again! With the help of y'all, who are wonderful. Would never regret knowing you! /kisses♥

In other news:

I tried to watch Stuart: A Life Backwards but possibly was not in the right frame of mind to do it, because I started tearing up before the opening credits finished rolling and was a sobbing mess thirty minutes in. Granted, I am a crier. But, Lord God, that movie. Tom Hardy, you are fucking amazing, okay? I can't even look at him as Stuart in there and reconcile him with Eames or Handsome Bob. Tom Hardy, how are you real?

I'll need to finish the movie but I've been warned it only gets worse: more painful, more dark. I think I'll need to be in a state of fucking bliss before I try watching the rest of it. D: But you all should really give this movie a shot. It's devastating. God, Tom fucking Hardy, why do you break my heart like this?

Still sick, but eating a lot of cherries. Is that good or bad for me when ill? Still super tired but at least I managed to be productive today with regards to schoolwork.

Anyway, spending fandom time reading some Merlin fics and, inexplicably, Smallville fics (never mind that I've never seen the show, whatever; porn needs no canon!).




"Being able to open up to people is important, but the key is opening up to people who have time to consider you. Those that can’t be bothered will only make your thoughts feel less than they are, when in fact, every little thing is important, or you wouldn’t feel it. Who knows, though." —source is NSFW


Been listening to this song a lot, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] delocalised. ♥ Any favorite song you've been loving lately (or have loved always) you'd like to point my way? I've been thinking of poking around in some non-Asian foreign music. What's a few more songs I don't understand the words to, right? I've years of experience in this! And, god, L'Accordeniste is just gorgeous (and, yes, I totally love the History Boys' version best.)

Smallville has some lovely porn :) I only watched some of the early seasons and yet I still find it easier to reconcile Smallville!Lex to Comics!Lex. I'm like, "Lex would never wear that!" and :/ faces to assorted evils.

I have no idea about what is going on, so yeah, wank is terrible.

I am reading [livejournal.com profile] astolat's Smallville fics now! I have no idea what's going on but it's fun reading anyway. :D I also keep forgetting that Lex is supposed to be a villain because I only started paying attention to him in Smallville (portrayed by Michael Rosenbaum, oh the things I learned from CWRPS haha) and he was fairly likable? Or something.

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
They're good *nods* he was very likable :D I believe there was a meme going around that he had sexual tension with everyone on the show basically... (even water bottles) except his wife XD

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
oooooh her fics were so good, now I am sort of craving more Clark/Lex fics. D: What just happened, I have no idea. Where is all the good stuff?

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2010-09-07 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
My Smallville days were before my delicious days I believe. Mishy has recced you some names that I certainly remember with much fondness though! And there is always the crack_van! (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/tag/smallville) :D

cherries have vitamins! and stuff!

SMALLVILLE, zomg, I believe [livejournal.com profile] seperis has a whole load of amazing fic to be read. though my go-to rec is the one by astolat (I think) with, uh, Tim and Kon. RECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES (http://intimations.org/fanfic/smallville/Reconcilable_Differences.html). it is THE MOST BEST. and if you happen to fall in complete and utter love with Tim and Kon from there (for which you shall not be blamed, but welcomed into the circle with tea and crumpets) I HAVE LOADS OF RECS. also, Y, porn needs no canon! indeed, fanfiction needs no canon!

zomg, what is that photograph; it is funny and grainy. Kermit is laxing one corner! (oh it's from that tumblr XD)

I do not have a lot of non-Asian non-English music! it's also mostly jazzy or soundtracks (like of Amelie? do you want that?) but I'm uploading tracks now! ♥

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I have been told that [livejournal.com profile] seperis's fics have a tendency of tricking you into thinking you're reading happy fic and then giving you a horrible ending! :( I have loved basically everything astolat's written though, including Reconcilable Differences. *___* Omg, Mishy, I am going to have to go find more DCU/Smallville fics. Tim and Kon, I like! But ngl I am still stuck in Clark/my Lex phase right now... Seriously, who needs canon? I have wikipedia...

[identity profile] myricarubra.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I have really liked [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock's Smallville fics (there are a lot of them! :DDD) and also Scions (http://danny.talkoncorners.net/dcu/scions.html) by [livejournal.com profile] winterlive! These are the ones that come to my mind when I think about Smallville/DCU fics. And they are all fairly happy. :D!

I've read that you're feeling ill -- I hope you get better soon!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
hahaha the same person who warned me about seperis actually also warned me about pru. BUT I WILL GIVE IT A SHOT. I am a sucker for plotty happy porny fics and am suddenly into SV/DCU, so! I'll take what I can get. Thank you for the recs!

And thank you for the well-wishing too. I am inhaling water and tea and hoping it will help. D:

[identity profile] myricarubra.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that that person might be right! I think that, for me, rageprufrock's stories make me feel so much and so intensely that the hurty bits are much more easily forgotten than the happy bits. If this makes any sense. Which it doesn't, very probably... anyway winterlive's fic is plotty and porny and it is delightful and it made me grin kind of a lot!

What kind of tea, if you don't mind me asking? Usually I really enjoy Twinings' fruity teas, but when I'm sick, I prefer drinking herbal teas and/or plain black tea. Or the expensive green tea stolen from my relatives' house, because I can become very picky, hahaha!

I have faith in tea's miraculous powers! :D

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
As long as they have happy endings, I am okay going through angsty and hurty bits! I just can't deal with the devastation of ending somewhere depressing after a long and emotional journey. I mean, okay, sometimes I can and sometimes the fic is amazing and it's justified -- but as a reader, I sort of feel like I've been torn apart with no one to put me back together. D: And life does that enough to me! I would like happiness in my fic-reading, if at all possible...

As for tea, I usually rotate through super lovely expensive green tea stolen from my parents (sent to them from China :D), Twining's black teas (Earl Grey, English Breakfast, etc), and less amazing standard jasmine green tea from a bag. When I'm sick I go for herbal lemon/ginger tea with honey. It's like all the good things for your throat combined in one, haha. I honestly believe sleep and tea and hot showers can make anything and everything better!

There is unpleasantness in Inception fandom? I am afraid to ask. (I live in a little pod inside a little pond, and these things pass me by).

But here, I bring French music! (http://www.mediafire.com/?0kzd12ijki7dhbx).

Er, I only have it in m4p iTunes format (I got it as a free iTunes download song), so apologies if you can't play it.

eta: yeah, you probably can't play it because it's locked (I thought it wasn't?). But here, another French song! (http://www.mediafire.com/?y6fs60muc44avfz)

It's okay, WE SHALL IGNORE ALL UNPLESANTNESS. I am just here to read fic and read more fic and bother people to write fic, haha. Though right now I am taking a mini-break by randomly wandering into DCU fic. I have always been terrible at Western comics. Justice League is DCU, X-Men & Spiderman are Marvel... /makes note

Oooh and thank you for the French song. :D

WE SHALL SPEAK NOT OF IT. Some of it's personal too because no fandom has quite distressed me about writing as much as Inception fandom has. D: Oh well.

I am still recovering! Less inclined to die but sniffly and coughing a bit still. Argh, unfun. But thank you!

The only reason I'm still in fandom is because I've learned to ignore the unpleasant bits. It's not always easy, but it makes my time here SO MUCH MORE AWESOME :D

And yay Merlin fic! There is so much amazing stuff out there.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, agreed. I managed that in my last fandom; I will manage it again! Let us roll around in the happy and porny and awesome. :D

As for Merlin fic, I am poking around [livejournal.com profile] paperlegends and also [livejournal.com profile] derryere's fics. Much exploring to do, mmm. So many things to read.

There are always happier distractions, so it is okay!
ext_58945: (Default)

[identity profile] cherrybina.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
THE HAPPY AND PORNY AND AWESOME IS WHY I AM HERE SO HERE I SHALL STAY :D

I haven't read any of the [livejournal.com profile] paperlegends fics yet because I just haven't had a chunk of time to sit down and go through them, but I cannot wait. And OMG [livejournal.com profile] derryere. She is amazing ♥♥

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I am guessing...you didn't write anything for [livejournal.com profile] paperlegends? Did you sign up for the Inception big bang? Ugh I am sort of regretting doing that now. T_T Writing is always so much harder than it needs to be. WHY.

[identity profile] cherrybina.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, no. I am HORRIBLE writing for deadlines, so after the Merlin winter holiday exchange last year I swore no more fests. WORDS ARE HARD. I DO NOT KNOW WHY D:

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god, I at least have an idea for it, but I haven't even started writing. Before I start worrying about that, I should probably worry about the fic I promised to write for [livejournal.com profile] help_pakistan. D: I just need a good plot/premise for it! /browses the kinkmeme

[identity profile] ch-ar-me.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
as for foreign music that isn't asian, carla bruni (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c7h34cc1u2q) has been my go to for french music. i love everything by her. she has an english album too, 'no promises', if you want to check her out. :)

i hope you're getting better!

oooh thank you for these. I will go through them and decide which are particularly shiny. Sorry, Edith Piaf, I've already decided that Samuel Barnett's version of L'Accordeoniste is my favorite. :') All the others I will give a shot though!

[identity profile] intomorning.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I saw your note about The History Boys version (I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard good things about it!); I just wanted to link Edith Piaf in case you ended up liking her voice. I hope you enjoy them!

unpleasantness is best ignored - especially fandom ones, because sometimes I think it's just not worth it, yeah? :3 hp fandom taught me to just laugh at drama and tune out the non-happy bits, and I try to stick by that if I can help it. ♥

oh god that song is so gorgeous. listening to it the first time and I think I am already a little in love with it. I must ask ceri to rec me songs or something - she linked me to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv--y03Wm6A a while ago randomly and I loved that too. foreign-music wise, I got linked to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DO8GsIYfhQ a while ago - it is cute and good for a cheer-you-up thing. :]

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-09-08 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
haha oh but I was never in HP fandom properly, just reading for it, so all the wank there was just entertainment for me. Being involved/active in a fandom makes the wank that much more unpleasant. Ahh well, ignoring is the way to go. Always. :) If I could manage it in tiny kpop fandom, I can definitely manage in this bigger fandom! There is so much more awesome stuff to distract me!

Yes, we should trust in Ceri's taste. :3
