affably

Despite f_march_madness helping me find the love of my fandom life this time last year, this year all the characters that I've cared about have been swiftly eliminated. And while some of it is grudge voting of the "I swear to God a female character is going to win this year so help me," all the female characters that I really like have already been voted out* so I've lost any sympathy for that approach. Only Blair Waldorf is still in the game, but she is currently being trounced by Veronica Mars, so.

Which is not to be a whiny loser about it; I just find it disappointing that I can no longer participate as enthusiastically as I was, for all that I was looking forward to it all year. And I know that plenty of people last year felt the same way about the final four, but I wasn't one of them. For all that I'm involved in more bigger fandoms this year it's unlikely that I'm gonna know the final four.

I guess a lot of the shows rounding the finals I've been kind of resistant to watching, though not in any kind of active way.

Let the record show that I did vote for Emily from Skins since thisbrain has had a busy life lately and probably small chance to participate.

* Cara, Parker, Cristina Yang, Joan Holloway, Dean Winchester. Etc, etc, cry moar.

Now I know what you're thinking: "Really, affably, really? Why do you do this to me? Why? This yellow makes me just as nauseous as the green."

But yes, yes. It is time for a new layout! Past time, really. And yeah, I'm very well aware that it's the Christmas/Kwanzaa/お正月 season and everything, so I've decided to go with a festive new theme! But for those of you playing at home you can just stalk me from your friends page per usual and not deal with the onerous massive background that makes me smile so much.



Here's a rec from metafandom: so you want to write fanfictions on the internets by traveller

Robots, cylons, transgenics — I'm starting to think it's just an excuse to explain ridiculously beautiful people: ( also I don't know why I'm surprised anymore that everyone in showbiz seems to know each other )

ETA: Aaron Douglas just showed up as a hotel clerk (2x16) what is happening.
ETA2: And that is definitely Callum Keith Rennie what they are coming out of the woodwork.
ETA3: Okay that is Kandyse McClure what.
ETA4: And that is Alessandro Juliani CONSPIRACY.

Snagged from wanttobeatree. The awkward smile is exactly the same.
