chase_acow: Derek from Teen Wolf half his serious face listening or sad (tw d away)
i guess it's time to take down the tree?

how it started vs how it ended with two kittens )

I guess I'm not going to specifically shout into the void for snowflake #3? I know that lots of folks prefer not to see any negativity anywhere. I am someone who wants to know that at least one other person hates the very specific thing that I also hate. So, okay, reverse psych worked! Here we go!

The Magnus Archives - I have seen no hate for two specific voice actors' choices, a character and the ending. )

Generic Video Game irks - stop making everyone grunt all the time and/or give me the option to mute background speech (I'm looking at you last Tomb Raider game and Horizon Forbidden West singing section), and there should be a 5 fetch quest maximum per game and two of them have to be funny (I'm still looking at you Horizon Forbidden West - which don't get me started on Ted Faro).

Real Life (allegedly) - every online food ordering service should have the option for no ice in the drink

I have really enjoyed how bad the Teen Wolf movie apparently was. Tumblr is having a grand old time with it. I stopped watching in S2 or 3, but I will never escape as my Derek/Stiles fic is kudosed on the daily. I keep the mood pics and icons for nostalgia.

Thursdays aren't great, I work ten hours wed-sat, and I have no brain after the first three hours or so. Summer is boring. Summer is the worst. Did I have a point? IDK, I love magical realism. It's one of my favorite things. Here are three stories dealing with hearts. You got any others I should check out?

Summary: “Where’s your heart?” Scott asks with wide eyes. They’re nine, almost ten, and he’s never met anyone without a heart before.
Stiles shrugs and pulls his shirt back down before Scott can see that he’s soulless too. “My mom has it.” He doesn’t elaborate, doesn’t have to.

Summary:

In a world where heartbreak is a literal condition, it's Jared's job to sew, fill and patch the physical wounds left in people's hearts by lost loves, misunderstandings and betrayals. Jared's own love life is more than a little dire, largely because Jensen doesn't date and Jared doesn't do one-night stands, but he's got good friends and a job he loves, so he figures that he can't complain too much.
When a killer attacks Jensen, Jared discovers that a needle and thread, desperation and a sharp scalpel are enough to save Jensen's life, but at a cost that is going to change Jared's life forever and tie them both together in a way that goes far deeper than flesh.

So, I stopped watching Teen Wolf with the alpha pack showed up. Which after I when to IMDB to check, means I only actually watched the first two seasons. Oops? I remember really wishing it was something a little different, and then I gave up. With the new trailer for the last season coming out, I did feel a little bit of nostalgia. Then I saw a gif post on tumblr with Stiles in the jeep tagged with "They know we're baiting them again, right?" with Derek answering "They know." - and most of my good feelings went - meh.

But I'm apparently not the only one with nostalgia feelings. Someone commented on one of my fics bemoaning how old they feel. It was the first Teen Wolf and Stiles/Derek I posted, and not so incidentally the first one posted to AO3 at all. So I reread it. . . and cringed a bit, but it's still kinda cute.

So, I passed the 10,000 word mark on my Bilbo/Fili epic last week, and right on schedule is the crushing doubt at whether it's any good or anyone will ever read and like it. Progress on it has slowed to crawl. It's just as bad as it was when I was writing The Sanctuary, that fic barely saw the light of day.

I'd also really like to write something for Lupercalia, because it is right up my alley.

chase_acow: quote from Dragon Age "If you cannot tell me another way, do not brand me a tyrant." (da tyrant)
So, I've been listening to different mixes from 8tracks while I'm working nightshift and nothing is happening between 4 and 8am. I thought maybe I'd put my mixes up there too, so I could listen to them wherever I am.

Here is the mix I made for The Sanctuary: I Love You Cause I Have To.

Any tips or tricks? Anything I've done wrong that y'all can point out?


Also, I think I'll be doing Yuletide again this year, and I'm a little excited. I finally thought about nominating a videogame and my favorite book ->

Lord of the Rings: The Third Age which is not the best video game, but I loved the characters. Yes, they might resemble straight up knockoffs from the movies, because those were the only rights the creators had, but they're fun and have their own problems.

Pig's Don't Fly by Mary Brown This is my favorite book bar none, I read it all the time and it always fulfills what I need. It starts off with the protagonist being a whore's daughter who is obese, and the story follows her journey through magic, adventure, and romance as she picks up animals she can communicate with and tries to find a home for all of them.
chase_acow: N7 logo from Mass Effect (me n7)
Somehow, over hiatus, I completely forgot that Scott and Scott/Allison were the main storyline. Stiles/Derek fic has ruined me. I don't know how excited I am for Season 3, except for when I figured out that Deucalion (terrible, terrible name, I don't care about the history) was played by Gideon Emery who voiced Fenris in Dragon Age II. I would totally make out with his voice, oh yeah. It's love even though I seldom romanced Fenris in game.

I wrote a thing for [community profile] fan_flashworks last challenge technology -> Annoyed: I'm too Old For This Shit for Mass Effect because I have been having epic Legion feelings. I've meant to participate, but I had trouble getting off my butt and doing it. Check out the guidelines page here for an awesome kick-in-the-pants pep talk. I'm determined to do three in a row so I can get a name tag.

Fic is also on AO3 here.

This, I don't know, but here it is. : ) There might be more later on if I can figure out how to do it without turning Derek into a giant walking weremarshmallow. I wished we lived in a better world were good things happened to good people, and everything could be fixed by a hug or a helping hand.

My dear old friend. I haven't seen it since the first of March, and getting reacquainted it both fun and vaguely surreal. None of the buttons are where I expect them to be, and I keep hitting the number lock instead of the backspace button.

Also, at some point a computer geek somewhere blasted through my user password into my desktop. Since I paid cash under the table for a voodoo doctor to frankenstein the power port, I guess he deserved to be shocked by my porn folder. : )

I'm still working through the prompts I took a couple of weeks ago. My writing muscles are sore and it takes forever to do anything at the moment. But I am trying, and that's half the battle, yeah?


I'm finally caught up on Teen Wolf! \0/ It really feels like this season is a stronger. I mean it should be, the actors have settled in, the writers have a better handle on the characters, and the characters themselves have grown up a little bit. Well, except for Derek, who has regressed a little, but the super awkward smiling and flirting is adorable to watch. The dialog feels tighter, and it handles the jumps from sexy to scary to funny decently well. So once again... if you haven't given it a chance, why not?


And finally, a video to prove that Teen Wolf is actually a romantic comedy about Stiles/Derek. Please love on the maker if you are so inclined.

Stuff.

Proof that Tyler Hoechlin pitches and Dylan O'brien catches? : )


The way I see it, one problem with the fannish hive mind is that I inevitably get into the new trope (in this case the Alpha/Beta/Omega verseiness) and I want to go back and read it in fics from my earlier fandoms. I want SG-1 Omega!Cam, BTVS Omega!Xander, and TFTF Omega!Brian. Yeah, it makes no sense. Really, I'm just desperate for the next part of Dilaudid.


Drop Dead Diva starts its next season tomorrow! I don't even know how I got hooked on that show, except that I blame my mom hard.


It's so hard to write the dirty kind of porn on my roomie's laptop. I'm so paranoid I'll save it somewhere I don't mean to. She would probably not approve of male on male shenanigans on her desktop.


THUNDER UP.

Right, so this hasn't been my best month ever. I haven't been able to talk to anyone about just how depressed I've really been. I know Christmas brings the blues to a lot of people, but I think all the music (at least the nonlame stuff) and blinky lights are helping a little bit. I can't wait for the first snow, even if it does happen this Saturday at the football game. I've been really bad at thanking and pointing out the awesome stuff people made for me. So this is kind of a catch all post before everything goes Christmas crazy.



[livejournal.com profile] rubykatewriting wrote a fic for a prompt I left at [livejournal.com profile] in_heat and I think it's awesome. Check out shocking fuzz of your electric fur (Derek/girl!Stiles)


[livejournal.com profile] lysihopkins translated Only After Disaster Can We Be Resurrected into Russian and one of her friends, Oricat, read it and made another banner for it. I really liked it, so I asked permission to share so y'all can check it out too.

Also, I have three awesome tap-dancing spiders on my user info page thanks to: [livejournal.com profile] thefrozenheart, [livejournal.com profile] burningchaos, and [livejournal.com profile] hallowedresin


I feel like I'm forgetting something, but I have no idea what it could be. Please smack me with something if I've missed you.

So, [livejournal.com profile] sarahtales (a fandom chick gone pro -> author of The Demon's Lexicon series) just posted her summary of Teen Wolf season one and it is hilarious. Mostly because it's true. I was a little leery of reading her interpretation at first, but it turned out to be awesome. Go forth and laugh with my blessing.

The tale of the Most Useless Werewolf In the World, and the People Who (Inexplicably) Love Him.





Also, just because I'm curious, are any of y'all planning to offer/request Teen Wolf for Yuletide this year? I don't think I will because I really want Saving Grace, Mercedes Thompson, or college football, but I'll definitely be stalking Yuletide Letters for prompts. Don't know what [livejournal.com profile] yuletide is? Feel free to ask, because it is an awesome, awesome rare fandom exchange that blows up the month of December. : )

Day 7- a brutal moment

I can't believe it took me until day 7 to get around to showing off shirtless!Derek. My priorities have obviously been skewed. However, this is not the sweaty, sexy clip that you're looking for. I mean, there are plenty of those for several of the characters, but this moment really makes me uncomfortable. Kate is a hunter, Derek is her prey, and I can understand that, even though as the audience we're supposed to side with Derek.

I wanted to like her as a fun kick-ass antagonist, but as a character, she's got issues that make her a cancer even to her own family. It's the creepy sexual overtone and complete joy she shows torturing him that makes it hard to watch. There's more to the scene, but even cutting to this part bothers me.
