(no subject)

I tried to make a voicepost to you know. Voice my displeasure at the cancellation of TBD. But I sounded really dumb and like I had been crying, which I haven't, actually, I just can't seem to shake the last vestiges of my cold from two weeks ago.

So instead, I am making this post, in which I say I AM VERY DISPLEASED ABOUT THE CANCELLATION OF THE BLACK DONNELLYS. Thanks, NBC.

And now I am drinking tequila and Cherry Coke, because dammit someone drank all the orange juice so I can't make myself a tequila sunrise. But I think I used way too much tequila because it's basically like, a tall shot. And carbonated. I don't know. It's making me shudder every time I take a drink, but it's tequila so it's like, *shudder* Mmmm. *shudder* Mmmm. Thanks, NBC, for forcing me to the booze.

Tomorrow I will be prodding you all to go write TBD fic in remembrance. There should be like a deathfic challenge to commemorate the cancellation. Somebody has to die in it, doesn't matter how. Preferably death by porn.

And a quick pimp while I'm still coherent: [livejournal.com profile] stilettocamp. If you're like me and need to be held accountable and/or need recognition for completing your writing goals, go join up. Set your own goal each week, meet it, feel good about yourself, don't meet it, get a stiletto in the back. No, I don't think that's really how it works. Just go read the info, where it explains much better than I can.

I'm picturing death by porn now.

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's a good visual, right? Unless you're picturing like, death by porn where stacks and stacks of porn tapes fall onto someone, crushing them to death, which would not be a good death by porn. Good death by porn would be like, fucking all day and dying of dehydration because you just can't stop. Or having a heart attack during sex.

[identity profile] picayochan.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Ha! Those are good ones.

Though definitely not quite the death by porn I've been known to write and show no one. Haha.

What kind of tequila?

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
! Could you be persuaded to show someone (namely me) were they to, you know, use up one of their bought and paid for prompts for it? *halo*

It is crappy cheap tequila (Tortilla Silver I think it's called) but damn, I love me some tequila, so I'm not complaining too much.

[identity profile] picayochan.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
::grins:: I could dig something up but it wouldn't be that fandom.

I owe you some schmoopy hurt/comfort porn. But I bet I could muster up some evil!porn challengefic for you for TBD.

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't even care what fandom it was for, doll, death by porn transcends fandom. :D

UM OBVS THAT'S A GO ON THE EVIL!PORN CHALLENGEFIC. ♥

Also hee. Tequila is love.

My RIP TBD fic ;D

Once upon a time, a long time ago. Four brothers named Donnelly banded together for grievences cast upon a tv show they once had. Bats, 2x4's and stilettos in hand they stormed the mighty doors of the NBC studios, setting the building aflame.

Then, to console their broken hearts, they lay together later that night and did each other till 4 in the morning.

RIP TBD. Though I never watch you, I heard so many good good things.

PS: I drink pineapple juice and Malibu Rum. Just a suggestion for when you want to deviate from the tequila.

Re: My RIP TBD fic ;D

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
YOU WIN.

they lay together later that night and did each other till 4 in the morning

For real, I would be totally happy with all fics being that length as long as they ended in that fashion.

You are amazing and I ♥ you. Someday I will drink pineapple juice and Malibu Rum with you and we will extol the virtues of Draco. For although I cannot stand with you on the Draco/Hermione, I am totes with you on the Draco part at least.

Re: My RIP TBD fic ;D

[identity profile] stiletto.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
If I knew names I would be able to write you something so much better. But, at least it was short, sweet, and left everything to the imagination. XD

Dude...Tom Felton. I have no idea where the Draco/Hermione thing came from but I was reading fic and it turned into OMG SO ADORABLE. Although, I completely forgot that I ship Remus/Sirius *misses Shoebox* Can we picture Tom with Rupert? Looking at all the promo pictures today I was starting to really see it. XD Ron/Draco header? Y/N?

Re: My RIP TBD fic ;D

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
No worries, babydoll, it was excellent just the way it is. ♥

I am a Draco/Harry shipper all the way, which is to say, not very far, because I'm kind of on the edges of HP fandom, but when I read fic, it's almost always Draco/Harry because I'm a sucker for drastic power dynamics. Aw, I can't picture anyone with Rupert. :( He is too cute to ship, for me. Although I read a fic once where Draco and Harry were having sex on a regular basis, and then Harry used a polyjuice potion to turn into Ron, and then he had sex with Draco like that, and then it wore off and I think Draco had sex with the real Ron after that. I don't know. I'm getting a little fuzzy. Ramble!

Re: My RIP TBD fic ;D

[identity profile] stiletto.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I can picture Draco/Harry if it's bookverse because I find Daniel THAT friggin fugly. XD Rupert is cute. He is one of those people who is cute both ways, adorable cute and hot cute. But, he is in the awkward position of "sidekick." Still, I can picture a snog here and there with Tom. *beez a dirty old perv*

Re: My RIP TBD fic ;D

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Daniel is...very odd looking. I waver (I had to think about that word for a second, because I almost said wafer) on whether I think he's ugly or just weird looking, but you're right, it works much better when it's bookverse. Especially because the most recent pictures of Tom are v. v. disturbing. *beez and older and dirtier perv than you*

I'm finally meeting drunk!Jess! Bwahaha.

How about to mourn I write some wee!Donnellys! Especially since I was planning to already. I metaed about TBD the other day, AKA yesterday. You should check it out.

I'm sorry you're so displeased about it. *pets you*

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
This is buzzed!Jess, who is having a hard time typing quickly. I'm going v. v. slowly to avoid typos. Drunk!Jess may make an appearance later. :D

YES PLZ. Which will make it even more heartbreaking because I LOVE wee!Donnellys and now there will be no more flashbacks. Mourn, weep weep. I will go check it out when I'm not drinking, sugarplum, I swear I'm going to get caught up on my flist soon. Ish.

*clings*

[identity profile] hebrew-hernia.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
GOOD PLAN.

*hugs*

I am going to go study some chemistry and possibly watch "Something Wicked" or "Shadow" with [livejournal.com profile] unamaga, if she ever contacts me back.

[identity profile] mytimehaspassed.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
as soon as i see all the episodes (if they even put them all up on nbc.com, i haven't checked yet), i'm SO writing a big huge long fic that has a jimmy/tommy/kevin/sean love triangle square in it. AND I HOPE IT COMES OUT ON DVD SO I CAN WATCH IT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

feel better, dude. <33333

shannon

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
YES. Dude, omg, love square. If anybody could do it right, it'd be you. Because seriously, I have maintained since the beginning of this show that they're ALL doing each other or have done each other in the past. Four boys in a small apartment and none of them have moved out yet? YEAH RIGHT.

I HOPE IT COMES OUT ON DVD SO I CAN WATCH IT EVERY DAY TOO. I WISH WE LIVED CLOSER SO WE COULD HAVE TBD OR SPN DVD WATCHING PARTIES EVERY DAMN DAY.

Thanks, doll. ♥

[identity profile] cordeaux.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no!! This is the first I've heard of the cancellation. What a damn blasted sonoffabitch shame. :( :(

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I know. :( This is the first show I was ever really invested in that got cancelled, so I'm really bummed. I can't even imagine what I'd be like if it was SPN though, so. I guess I can count my blessings. :D

[identity profile] beckytheelf.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
*clings to you* I'm still cursing NBC from my bedroom and hiding behind my fuzzy pink slippers. Assholes.

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
*clings back* Seriously, like they couldn't have let it run the full thirteen episodes? That's the least they could have done. :( *hides behind your fuzzy pink slippers too*

[identity profile] beckytheelf.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Waaaaait a minute...they're just dropping it like a hot potato??? They're not going to show the other episodes?!
I just visited the NBC site and they've still got everything up and running like it's just fine and dandy. And people are leaving them seriously pissed off posts, it's almost funny.
*makes room behind pink fuzzy slippers for you*

[identity profile] noorie.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
tv people just love killing shows about morally-ambiguous-yet-incredibly-hot irish-american brothers, don't they.

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Which other one(s?) got cancelled? Oz, I know, but was there another one? I'm trying to reassure myself you're not talking about Brotherhood because I haven't heard a peep about that show so I was just assuming it'd be back. :-/

[identity profile] noorie.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
yes actually, i meant brotherhood. they didn't even air the last 2 eps AFAIK. *sobs*

[identity profile] such-jaunt.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
We'll try harder, OK? Give us a second chance.
Just don't come in and cancel us, without giving us a second chance.

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I know! *clings and sobs into your shoulder* Barbara, it's awful. I can't believe they aren't even letting the rest of the episodes air, like I'm sure The Real Wedding Crashers in a 10 PM time slot is going to be raking in the dough. :(

[identity profile] such-jaunt.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's so not fucking on *kicks butt* :( (fuck is it a freudian slip that i just wrote lick instead of kick!?!?!)


Um anyway I don't know if you have a Myspace (if you do yo bitch add me! lol) but Billy Lush (I am 90% sure its really him) has one and he has some flipping hilarious pictures of himself up on there....

LOL fuck i added him and just got a comment back.. HI! Do i know you?"

:O I am really embarrased now I didn't think he'd actuallly reply or anything, I don't want to be all "um no I am just an sad fan girl!!" :O eeek *panic*

[identity profile] whirligigged.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
What upsets me most is that they're putting in a reality show instead.

A. Reality. Show.

I kind of wish I drank, haha. Maybe I will actually write some TBD fic, in honor of it. All of my IRL friends are grieving, which is some comfort, considering I'm usually left to mourn alone. XD I guess I'm one of those awful people who feel better when others suffer around them? Yes.

Also, I am fully encouraging you to LJ drunk.

[identity profile] syxstring.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously, i am so sick of all of these Reality Shows taking all the good shows places.

I mean come on. It is getting ridiculous.

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
FOR REAL. I would rather they show repeats of something decent than replace it with this CRAP. It just bugs me to no end that not only are they replacing it with a stupid reality show, but that they're doing it based on what people want to see. Have people really gotten this stupid/shallow that they'd rather watch mindless TV than a well-written, well-acted drama that makes you think? Obvs yes.

I would love for you to write TBD fic, babes, OR OR OR draw a picture! There is way too little fanart in the world, especially in the TBD world. :(

Haha, I'm the same way, sugar, don't feel bad. Misery loves company, true story. ;)

Someday, someday. ♥

I agree: NOT ON, NBC!
*stomps foot and throws a tantrum*

I didn't even get a chance to write ANY fic for this fandom, I don't know what I'm waiting for, but I haven't got it yet. When I do I'll write fic. I just hope I get it in the next couple episodes. *mourns awesome show*

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Throwing a tantrum sounds like fun right about now. I just don't get how more people didn't like this show. Or how NBC didn't think it was good enough to move to a different time slot to see how it would fare there. Seriously, NBC, shape up. If it wasn't for Heroes, I'd probably just nix NBC from my viewing schedule all together.

Apparently they're not airing any more episodes, it's done. The episodes are supposed to available at the website, though, so maybe they'll spark an idea! ♥

[identity profile] syxstring.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
NBC sucks.
Seriously.

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Understatement. :(

[identity profile] semirose.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
BOO NBC. I know I've been a bad fan and not watching these past few weeks, but I've had good reasons (or a Nazi roomate) for not watching. BOOO.

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
I was a bad fan and didn't watch this last week, which means I'm going to have the totally stupid guilt hanging over my head forever, thinking, "If I'd just watched, maybe that one number might have tipped the scales," which is lame and wrong, but dude. I miss it already. :(

[identity profile] catalyst2.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Think of the tequila and Cherry Coke as a tequila sunset - if the sky was very cloudy and polluted (which, given what you are drinking in remembrance of, is probably quite an apt image)!

I never saw TBD and never will now, I suspect, but your many posts spoke eloquently of your love for the programme.

The Black Donellys are dead! Long live The Black Donellys ((porn) fanfic)!

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, I like that! It actually wasn't a bad combo, I'd definitely drink it again. Maybe I can call it a Smoggy Sunrise/Sunset. :D

[identity profile] catalyst2.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Vanilla coke and vodka - a Spike - because it is smooth and sweet but dangerous wrapped in dark coat. I overthink these things sometimes!

[identity profile] subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
And now I am drinking tequila and Cherry Coke, because dammit someone drank all the orange juice so I can't make myself a tequila sunrise. But I think I used way too much tequila because it's basically like, a tall shot. And carbonated. I don't know. It's making me shudder every time I take a drink, but it's tequila so it's like, *shudder* Mmmm. *shudder* Mmmm.


*loooooooooooooool* I love you :D
But I so know what that's like, left-over mixes always kinda go like that :D But it's also anice way to discover new long-drinks. Sometimes, at least. In the rare occasions that it actually ends up tasting like something you'd wanna mix again. :D I found out that apple-liquor and cola, even though it sounds disturbing, make quite a tasty mix. Plus, anything with tequila can't be all bad. :D

I'm not even gonna attempt to comment on the actual topic of this post, I'm still in denial about that. *headdesk* Do you know if they at least filmed the last eps to finish the current story?

Man, now I wish I had tequila, even with cherry coke :D But since I have to go to work in 10 minutes, I guess that could be problematic :D

[identity profile] quarterturn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Heee, what can I say, I love my booze. :D

I've never been a big fan of apple liquor, but now you've got me intrigued, I may have to try that combo. YES you totally get it, anything with tequila is A-OK!

As far as I know they do have all thirteen episodes filmed and ready, and they're going to show the rest of them on the NBC website, which sucks for me (and a lot of other people) because it'll be streaming, which I can never get to work. :-/

[identity profile] subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
*lol* I can relate :D

Hehe, I always kinda liked appletinis but I never really thought to mix it with anything else. But it actually tasted pretty good. Very unusual, but good :D
Hehe, I'm still very amused by the concept of large carbonated Tequila shots XD But seriously, you can't go wrong with it. :D

Ah, okay. Well, at least we will get some sort of ending to the storyline I guess :( It sucks a lot that it'll only be available streaming but I hope there will be torrents or something for the online-eps later on, there's usually someone crafty enough to down and then upload these things.
I still can't believe that a show that literally every person on lj I have ever known is obsessed with has such low ratings.. *facepalm* people suck. not like that's news, just a truth learned anew again and again.

[identity profile] angel-kathryn.livejournal.com 2007-04-06 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait. Wait. TBD got cancelled?

That's it, NBC. It's on.

But how - why - when? Dammit, I go away for two weeks and my show dies!
