New addiction :D

Decided to join a Morgana/Arthur comm despite having not yet seen a single ep from Merlin. Everyone keeps talking about it and I succumb so easily to peer pressure. *shrugs* I need ship, and it is my mission to seek it out wherever possible. But the journal title for the comm makes me giggle, 'Once and future fratricidal glory'. WTF? :D Hee! This intrigues me already.

I like the sound of the show, apparently the writers insert shippy undertones for every single pairing imaginable, which hopefully means everyone can get their fix and all co-exist peacefully, rather than starting up ship wars. SGA is going to make me forever paranoid on that front. I don't know why it's so hard to live and let live, but... *sighs* There will always be intolerant assholes, I just hope never to encounter such a formidable army of them again.

Anyway, given that  I am half in love with Morgana- and yes, it is completely shallow and based entirely on her looks, since I claim no knowledge of her character as of yet- I went in search of pics. *glees* Look at the pretteh!













How can I resist? I have not the willpower, nor would I want it. *gleefully skips off to binge on more Morgana pretties*

'Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel...'

'...but do not dull thy palm with entertainment of each new-hatch'd unfledg'd comrade...'

My grandfather used to love this quote, we'd all groan but chime in. All I could ever remember was grappling with hoops of steel, lol.

I don’t know if this will make sense to anyone who doesn’t share my brain, but I have a theory. It occurred to me while I was watching the season three premiere of Kyle XY. Kyle and Jessi are…get ready for it…the new Blair and Serena [Gossip Girl]. TOTALLY. I know one show is a soapie and the other is- well, also a soapie, albeit with sci-fi themes, and such a cool blend so you all should go watch it right now.

Let me justify this.

 

( 'Did B think S would go down without a fight? Or can these two hotties work it out? There's nothing Gossip Girl likes better than a good catfight. And this could be a classic...' )

 

( 'There's a reason why people say we shouldn't expect too much, no one wants to see someone they care about end up disappointed. We instinctively act to protect our own from being hurt, and do what we can to make the right choices for the people we love. But the reason we have expectations in the first place is because we want to aim as high as we can. Because when you love someone, there's no limit to what you can accomplish...' )

Jessi and her stupid pride, her relentless ambition. Blair and her control freak tendencies. The two girls who always need to be on top, who are always making power plays, and always seeking love and approval, whose best friends threaten their self-confidence and their self-delusions and thus need to be kept at arms length, even when they want to let them in, even when they know better but keep blindly stumbling down the path to self-destruction.
