psychotic_scam, six things you probably don't know about me.
1. I dream about alligators. Big ones. That try to eat me or people I love. A lot.
2. I sneeze at least once every time I eat something especially minty. Mostly Altoids.
3. My brother and I have conversations on a regular basis about things like how Reba McIntyre and Chris Jericho are orangutans and trying to take over the world, and we do it totally straight-faced.
4. I can inflict severe pain using just my toes.
5. The smell of Spaghetti-os and canned ravioli makes me nauseous (although I can eat both without a problem.)
6. I refuse to swim in anything except swimming pools because I'm terrified that even though it would defy logic, there are sharks in the water. Or if not sharks, at least dead bodies and their decaying flesh would get on me.
I am far too lazy to tag anyone specifically today. You should all do it because I'm terribly nosy.
I've been reading a lot of Alias fic lately, ok. (And my undying gratitude to
mooyoo for links!) Mostly just stuff where Sark is involved, and mostly just slash. Although I have to admit that Sark/Lauren pings me pretty hard, and I don't even mind Sark/Sydney in small doses. Sark/Vaughn, or Sark/Will, or even Sark/Weiss, though? MAKES ME FEEL LIKE MY BRAIN IS SIZZLING IN MY SKULL. There are some really good pieces that I feel I must share, even if like, only two people on my list even care.
- Super-villains of the World Unite! by
hackthis. It's a Smallville/Alias/Spiderman/HP/JLA/DC Comics/Marvel crossover, pretty crackalicious, but it's SARK. In the same room as LEX. With implied SLASHINESS. And it's written so well, and I love it.
- This Ain't a Scene, It's a Goddamn Arms Race by
hackthis. It's an Alias/Burn Notice crossover, Sark/Michael, and listen. I don't even watch Burn Notice. I saw the pilot, so I knew who the main guy was, but other than that? Nope. And this fic is still amazing.
(
hackthis is one of my favorites, she always seems to write in fandoms I enjoy and she's brilliant, but I kind of fangirl from afar. She has Kitchen Confidential fic, I mean, come on. Brilliant.)
- Somewhere Along the Way, And Then Again, and Having by Brix. Sark/Weiss, in this really kind of creepy, very Sark-like way that ends up being totally cute and romantic and yet somehow totally still in character.
- Like Walking On Knives by Auburn. Gen, Sark-centric, and it's long, but it's so freaking good. I don't know when it was written, sometime before we got a lot of information about Sark from the show, I'm guessing, so this kind of fills in the blanks. It's detailed and engrossing and wonderful, and I can't say too much about what's it's about or I'll give away the surprise, but it's definitely worth the read. The coda to the story is The Way We'll Go, and it's just as worth it.
- Worn by otter, Will/Vaughn. I didn't think much of the pairing until I read this, but it works so well in the context of their grief. Even without the slash aspect, it is a beatiful and heartbreaking piece about Will and Vaughn struggling with Sydney's death.
- Going Down by
tigertrapped, Vaughn/Will, stuck in an elevator and thinking naughty thoughts about Sark. Oh yes.
- Down Among the Dead Men by
tigertrapped, Vaughn/Sark, Will/Sark, and so very deliciously dark and disturbing. Vaughn gets a hold of Sark and exorcises his personal demons, Will hangs around.
- The Biter Bit by
tigertrapped, Alias/Spooks crossover, Sark/Jools Siviter, Sark/Vaughn. Sark goes undercover for the CIA, dressed up to fit his mark's proclivities. I read this first without ever having seen an episode of Spooks, and as soon as I read it, I had to go find the episodes with Jools. It was a great read both before and after I knew who the guy was. If you haven't seen Spooks, just know that Jools is played by Hugh Laurie. :D
- Caveat Emptor by
tigertrapped, Sark-centric gen. Jack takes Sark into his own custody and tries to get some answers, Eric Weiss plays babysitter.
Really anything by
tigertrapped is probably a safe bet, I haven't read anything of hers I haven't liked, and in fact, I've read the ones I've recced above at least three times each in the past couple of weeks. Down Among the Dead Men, The Biter Bit, and Caveat Emptor are probably my very favorite Alias fics ever, and I've read a good number of them recently.
And one Heroes rec, which I found while catching up tags in
heroes_fic, and totally off topic, but I put up a poll there yesterday to gauge tags usage, and I am kind of pathetically happy that so far it seems like people actually use tags in the manner I had intended.
- Five Games Sylar Never Played by
sameoldhope. Gen, and just really brilliant. The writing, characterizations, just everything, I really really love this. I honestly don't even know how to explain this fic well enough to entice you to read it, but you really should.
As brought to my attention by
lucentliz, the BBC promos for Heroes, which are gorgeous and I love them a lot. Claire, Bennet, Nathan. ETA: And Peter, courtesy of
kerri_is_dead.
Also, kind of late mentioning it, but I got the most adorable Thanksgiving card from
uneedmerchant. It has pumpkin pie on the cover! Yumyumyum. Thank you, sugar. ♥

LOL that's so amazingly cute and awesome.
with your water fear type thing, the same for me! expcept, it's not sharks, it's just the fact I can't swim :/
Thanks for responding to it! ^_^
no subject
That would be terrifying, not knowing how to swim and dreaming about water. :( Luckily where I live, there's absolutely no chance that there would ever be sharks in the water, but drowning is a very real fear. *squish*
I had fun, thanks for tagging me! :)
no subject
Okay, I think I officially love British adverts now. Between those Heroes ones, and that old Supernatural one, I am definitely in love! Especially that Claire one.
no subject
I KNOW RIGHT? They get all the gorgeous ones, I am so v. v. jealous. GUH that Supernatural one blew my socks off.
no subject
#6: I have to worst fear of swimming in sth that's not a pool. I just think ther has to be sth terribe in there, like sth decaying or a moray eel. (I just looked that up, is that the actual word?). Anyway, I am very weirdly more scared of morays(?) that I am of sharks etc.
*bookmarks sylar fic for when capacity to read returns* *yay*
woah, the v bc promos.-.. i mesan bbc proms... No! BBC Promos! that took forever. Anyway, they are so pretty.
haha. I love drunk. but not type. but love you. ♥
no subject
YES. Like even if it's not a human body decaying (although I'm always like OH YES THERE IS THERE IS A DEAD BODY IN THERE YOU KNOW IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE TO DUMP A BODY I WOULD DUMP A BODY THERE...WAIT.) there's probably something decaying in there and it's just GROSS.
lmao oh my god, Katharina, you are so freaking ADORABLE it is like obscene how cute you are. ♥
no subject
Anyway yeah, I would think it's a pretty common tehemee. theeem.theme. Hah! theme!
EXACTLY! There are so man y creppy things going on, why would there not be something that's not ssopposed to be there deacying there? ponds/lakes etc= fucking creepy.
hehe. *squisses* right now wish I was less cute an more articluet. no. articulll.te

hrm, and six things you probably don't know about me?
1. Every woman in my family is "blessed" with getting a giant ugly mole somewhere on their body...I had mine on my armpit and when I was a kid i'd get horribly teased for it. As my boobs grew it moved farther forward so you could see it when I wore a bathing suit and yeah. In grade 9 I finally had it removed...I still have a giant scar but it's better than a giant ugly mole.
2. I am afraid of fish...yes, fish. Just looking at them scare me....smelling them/eating them is bad, but looking at a fish...oh God, I can't even think about it. Sharks are like giant uglier fish with teeth too, and they also scare me.
3. Funny thing that contradicts number 2 in a way? I love whales. If I could work as an ocean conservationist, I would.
4. I'm the same way about pools...I have this irrational fear that a dolphin or shark or whale will burst through the side from the ocean. I havnt in all these years been able to get over it.
5. I kick ass at MarioKart64.
6. When I was in grade 2 my mom married her penpal who lived in Denmark. I had never had a dad before so the idea was really novel. I wanted to change my last name to his, which just happened to be Jackus. You read that right. The kids in school called me Karla Jackass. Luckily I suppose, the marriage didn't work out once my mom found out he was using her to get to Canada, and I also suspect he was gay. Good times.
no subject
Sharks are terrifying omg. Fish don't bother me as much, but I can definitely see where the fear would come up. I think anything in the water is automatically scarier just because they can move faster than you can, and they are weird looking fuckers out of water.
MARIOKART 64. DUDE. We need to meet up, for serious. I play that game at least once a week, it's like the only game I ever got for my 64 and I have logged so many hours on that game it's kind of ridiculous.
no subject
Ugh, and they are all slimy and they have beady eyes and they eat their own poo, like EWWW.
ahaha how awesome would that be! I even have it on my computer...if you download the right program you can play it and it's AWESOME.
no subject
I remember that Sylar fic. It was amazing. It was a really well done piece. Thanks for linking, I'm think I'm going to go reread.
Oh, Heroes promos. Sweet deal.
no subject
YES. I don't even know what it is, but the smell is so terrible.
No problem, I'm glad I'm not the only one that loved it. :)

and also, PS: I also love you for having recurring dreams about alligators.
(BUT HOW ARE YOU SURE THEY ARE NOT CROCODILES. Not that it is important when a giant beast is about to eat you. But just out of curiosity!)
no subject
Haha, Lisa. SHUSH. In my head I know they are alligators, but there is every possibility that I actually have them confused in my head because I've never really known the difference. Alligators are more green while crocodiles are brown-ish, right? And alligators have the longer snouts while crocodiles' are more snubbed? IDEK THEY ARE JUST TERRIFYING.
no subject
http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/cnhc/cbd-faq-q1.htm
Yeah I totally had to Google that because I had no idea. I was like: ONE OF THEM EATS CLOCKS AND PIRATES. (Is it sad that I associate the croc/gator in Peter Pan with Sylar because it ticks?)
I can't wait for when Heroes is still airing ten years from now (shut up, it will) and Micah and Molly finally get to date. You know that they are OTP. Shoot, but that fic inspired my love for Mylar again and now I'm staring at your icon wondering how I could forget how much awesome subtext there was for them on the actual show (you know, as opposed to them just being two random characters who met once, like most of the pairings I like). I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW.
no subject
lmao I'm pretty sure that's just how crocodiles and alligators should be differentiated now. ONE EATS CLOCKS AND PIRATES, ONE DOESN'T. END OF LESSON.
I KNOW. They are too freaking cute and I am still miffed that Molly didn't go live with Niki and DL although maybe that would've been weird because then they would've grown up as siblings BUT WHO ARE WE KIDDING I WOULD SHIP THEM ANYWAY.
GAH. LISA. ONLY ONE EPISODE LEFT. I AM SO DESPONDENT. I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT WILL CHEER ME UP EVER AGAIN IS CUTE MOHINDER/SYLAR FANART. >.>
no subject
Dude, with the way things are going lately regarding incesty ships I would probably just love Molly/Micah MORE for it. DID I TELL YOU I ACCIDENTALLY STARTED SHIPPING BEAVER/DICK? IT WAS AWFUL WHEN I REALIZED. Soon I'll find out my soul mate is my cousin or something, oh dear.
How about Dean fanart??? Because I drew you some FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY A MILLION YEARS AGO. But I was trying to draw Sammy also but it didn't wooork. Guess why? Because he was so damn tall he didn't fit into the picture. ;_; So I gave up on him. And now my scanner has been broken. :( :( :( BUT IT WILL GET IT TO YOU, GOSH DARNIT. It will probably be around Christmas or something??? I refuse to rip you off concerning a Christmas present, but with my track record your Christmas present will end up being given to you around Valentines Day, lmao, HOPE THAT'S OKAY. *worst friend ever*
no subject
NO YOU DIDN'T WTH. I LOVE THAT YOU ARE SLOWLY SINKING MORE AND MORE INTO DEPRAVITY, IT IS FTW. GOD AREN'T THEY JUST THE MOST EFFED UP EVER THOUGH? If you have fic links, I would probably not turn them down.
Um yeah that would probably work. DUH. I am still giddy! Lisa fanart cannot be topped, except that if it's Dean Lisa fanart (which sounds a little bit like I'm shipping Dean/Lisa WHICH I WOULD OK) it tops itself. Haha, dude, I am all for like, Happy March 5th, here's a present! :D So whenever. ♥
no subject
I KNOW WTF??? I'm actually afraid to read any fic for them, because, um. Nooo. Anyway, Beaver/Mac is my pre-dead!Beaver OTP, and Dick/Mac is my post-dead!Beaver OTP (because they are the only ones who gave a shit about him, seriously, BEAVER IS SO TRAGIC, SERIOUSLY, I AM IN LOVE WITH THE BOY, and Mac and Dick will be angsty and mourn him together and accidentally bond and play video games in Logan's hotel room and be snarky at each other), so I'm not sure where Beaver/Dick fits into my personal canon. BUT IT'S THERE SOMEWHERE.
Okay so I totally can't find the fic that I place the blame on, but apparently I emailed my friend complaining about my spiral into depravity and quoted the entire passage that I place the blame on, so if you can find it from this you should totally read it and then link it to me so that I may bookmark it. I thought it was a regular old Veronica/Logan fic and then it punched me in the stomach with this:
The rumor is that Dick was outside in his truck, fooling around with Shelly or smoking pot. Or both, at the same time. The rumor is that when that Ford Taurus's car alarm started going off, Dick got out to complain. The rumor is that Beaver's eyes were still open and his jaw was knocked completely loose of his face. The rumor is that the cops had to drag Dick away almost an hour later. The rumor is that his brother's blood was all over his t-shirt.
The truth is that Beaver was always the smart one. The truth is that Beaver scored 400 points higher than Dick did on his SATs, and that it would've been even more if Beaver hadn't spent a couple weeks trying to explain the concept of analogies. The truth is that when they were little, Beaver pretended he still didn't know how to read for almost a whole year so that Dick wouldn't feel embarrassed.
The truth is that Beaver was supposed to be the one who made it.
YEAH. HOW COULD I NOT LIKE THEM AFTER FUCKING READING THAT. It is like Sam/Dean but sadder because Beaver doesn't come back to life. :( :( :(
PS: I'm a hardcore Sam/Lisa shipper myself. Because mmmmmmm braindead. *points down* Sorry, Dean-O.
no subject
Fic. (http://dontyouwaitup.livejournal.com/12352.html) And uh yeah, I'm gonna have to devour that asap. Because just that passage made me search madly for it until I found it.
UM HELLO SWEATYDIRTYMUSCLEY JARED. AND WITH THE GLOVES AND GUH.
no subject
>.> Link me to any good ones you find? Because, um. I'm scared to go looking myself. It seems like a pairing that is FAR too easy to fuck up.
Hayden/Kristen omg no seriously, I love you. I want to have little half-Lisa half-Jess babies! Yaaaay.
Also Jared says hi. From my bed, which is where I am keeping him forever and ever. He can raise our kids. I will let Jensen keep him company also, providing there are smooches involved? PROMISE, JARED.
Lol my fandoms are so fucked up. All the RPF and crossovers are melding in my head. Kristen Bell/Jason Dohring as Elle/Josef, I know I've said it but I'm telling you. It's hot. Electric girls and vampires are just naturally meant to go together.
no subject
lmao oh god, Lisa, it is so bad. I have never felt guilty in my LIFE for writing fic, and suddenly I'm like, BUT GOD SHE IS SO YOUNG I AM SUCH A PERV. :(
Our babies would be full of win, that is obvious. And Jared would raise our kids, or your kids? Like, Jess/Lisa babies or Lisa/Jared babies? I AM SO CONFUSED. However, any combination of Jess/Lisa/Jared/Jensen is all amazing, so. Confused is ok.
YESSSSS. That would be AWESOME. Like where she's still pretty psycho and a total sociopath but he puts up with her 'cause she's pretty and dangerous and totally off her rocker, and it makes his four-hundred-year-old existence interesting. NEED IT NOW.
no subject
Jared would raise all of our kids. They would be Jess/Lisa/Jared/Jensen hybrids, and they will continue the legacy of our CAMPAIGN OF LIES, spreading false information about sewer-dwelling reptiles and also probably spreading joy throughout the world with their hotness.
EXACTLY. I suggested it to my friends and they were like, "Yes! But she has to be sane," and I was like WHAT NO THAT TOTALLY RUINS IT. I got the idea from that time Angel made out with the electric chick Gwen and his heart started beating and, just, HOW PERFECT that Logan and Veronica are reincarnated as an electric chick and a supremely hot vampire?
Probably they'd capture him thinking he was one of the powered evolutionized species, and she'd make some crazy eyes and crazy smooches at him, and he'd totally be all, okayz a little crazy but wow HOT, so when he inevitably escaped and she came after him maybe he would capture her and keep her as his own pet. When she tries to electrocute him, all it does is get his blood pumping a bit more than usual. <3 Lolz, maybe her blood tastes fizzy, too. And you know she'd totally be into it eventually because, hey, a boyfriend! She's been LONELY, and Josef is Fun Times. They are so perfect.
no subject
That...is possibly the best thing I've ever heard in my life. We will be like the royal family. Except that we would rule and Jared and Jensen would babysit/sit around and look pretty.
UGH NO. Sanity ruins EVERYTHING. alkdjsfasldk I totally forgot about that episode of Angel! Oh man, oh man. You should probably tell me you're going to write it otherwise I'm gonna start writing it and never finish it like every single other thing I ever do.
lmao oh my god okayz a little crazy coming from Josef makes me want to die a little in the best possible way.
no subject
Your icon both confuses and delights me and I can't wait to have his hybrid babies. <3
YES DOESN'T IT. Except I can't actually write it because I've never seen an episode of Moonlight, haha. I WOULD NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU WRITING IT, THOUGH. Lol, eventually I will watch the show and maybe if you haven't actually finished it you can send it to me and I will be like one of those hack authors who attempt to finish the brilliant authors' sequels because the brilliant author, like, died or something random and never finished it. And the brilliant author will ROLL IN THEIR GRAVE at the defilement of their work, but it's okay Jess I will dig you back up and demand that you fix it because it's going to be horrible. Our hybrid babies may be awesome but what I do to fic is not. XD
HOLY SHIT, GOOGLE. GUESS WHAT GOOGLE JUST GAVE ME.
http://community.livejournal.com/josef_elle/
Yeah, baby. I love life. Though it's kind of empty, haha. I'm thinking that it's going to end up as one of those obscure comms that the really good writers abandon early if they join at all, but I haven't read any of the fics there yet so maybe I am jumping the gun on being mean. We shall see!
no subject
lmao puppy!Sammy, in all his glory.
Oh Lisa, it is SO BAD. Like, SO SO BAD. I don't even know how to explain the badness. But there is Josef, which makes some of the badness seem...less bad. Not good, by any means, but less bad.
HA HA HA. First of all, WHY ARE YOU KILLING ME OFF IN THIS SCENARIO I AM SLIGHTLY DISTURBED. Secondly, you are amazing and I will not even tolerate this self-deprecation.
I will be e-mailing you shortly. >.>

Okayz. <3
PS: Dude I need to change my icons, I am not covering enough ground in my emotions here. You'd think three "I am ridiculously happy!" icons would be enough BUT IT'S NOT.
no subject
Sometimes I am so angry about the lack of more space for icons, because like 113 just isn't enough to cover my interests and the subcategories therein, but right now I can't find enough to fill them up because all I want are David Anders icons and so few people make them. :(

I NEED to watch this show. On the one hand I am afraid, and on the other hand - Vampire Logan. So.

I actually have the first three eps up, would you like the links? Because really, the only thing that could make this show any better is to have people to make fun of it with but also cherish the vampire!Logan.
