Fandoms

I'm feeling all a bit multifannish at the moment, which is really different and not normal for me. Usually I'm all a bit blinkered to anything but my current objects of lust. I don't know. I still otp Roger/Rafa like anything-- gah, I love them, they are made of unicorns and rainbows-- but the fandom is maybe too small to really wallow in it as one would like.

Merlin is more pretty to me than it was a few months ago, and I really liked the first episode of series two, where Arthur was a total douchebag to Merlin and Merlin was all sad and wistful and, well, jealous about having his place usurped by Cedric and his awesome hair. Colin Morgan is really pretty, even with giant ears. He is really really pretty. Like, a lot. I also like how Bradley James seems to be actually officer class in real life too, judging from the interviews I've seen of him.

Jensen Ackles is also really really pretty. Oh, god, look at my theme. Supernatural is one of those programmes that I think I am never going to write fic for - and that's a bit freeing actually. Like watching a really good tennis match where you're not invested in the outcome. That's not to say I don't care about the outcome, just that I don't have to take it quite so personally if the plot/real life doesn't go the way I want.

So, anyway, my thesis concludes with people on TV are pretty. That basically sums up everything on my mind right now.

I'm having the opposite. I can't really find anything to love/obsess over right now. It's all very sad. So consequently I am writing all these half-fics for a bunch of things (although I did do crack SPN a day ago. Jensen Ackles *is* pretty, and Misha Collins is soooo coming in a close second, because wow those eyes and that mouth! And that voice!).

And ooooh Merlin! Morgan is also incredibly pretty! And I love how toffy BJ is as Arthur. It makes me sad that no-one out there seems to think Merlin ever tops, when personally I think Arthur would make an awesome surly bottom, ordering Merlin around and acting completely entitled about doing almost none of the work, and then being shocked and appalled that he utterly, utterly loved it (he's the hero, after all! Heroes don't bottom! Do they?).

Okay, so that's Devi's Inner Mind Theatre playing, and if I really was inspired to write Merlin, that's totally how it would happen. I just wish someone else would write it instead T__T

Wait. Did that entire reply turn into fangirling about pretty men? How did that happen??!

Also? I'm kind of picturing Rafa and Roger skipping around in fields of flowers, with sparkly rainbows and sparkles and white, horned horses with flowing manes in background, and it is awesome.

What, fanon Arthur loves to bottom! It's a terrible oversight of mine, clearly, that you still don't have a collection of bottom Arthur links. Oh, oh, read these seminal works right now:

Astolat's The Crown of Summer Court
http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/merlin/The%20Crown%20of%20the%20Summer%20Court.html

Truth is a Whisper by Seperis
http://seperis.livejournal.com/719974.html

Freedom Hangs Like Heaven by derryere
http://derryere.livejournal.com/113350.html

And then go here http://ripleybaby.livejournal.com/2929.html

Ohhhhh I have a massive amount of love for Astolat's Merlin stories! Every single one is quite enjoyable.
And yes, The Crown of Summer Court is definitely my favorite. <3<3<3

Seperis is also a great writer but I haven't read her Merlin fics yet. I'll try that one! Thank you for the rec hon. :)

Right, because my post was so not about that!! Or imagining Roger and Rafa skipping through fields of flowers with sparkly rainbows and horns and manes. Oh, I can see it so well! So beautiful, my vision!

Okay, I see Kate has supplied you with bottom!Arthur goodness. Good. I'm gonna read that too.

Okay, so what we're saying is that fandoms change, but fangirling? NEVAH!

I was a little meh about Merlin fandom. And then I read Kate's recs.

*THUD

Okay, yep. That... That's kind of what I was... Um. Oh wow. Looking for. Except scratch that 'kind of' part...
