I apparently like ALL THE SHOWS

naushika, you'd be so proud of me, I'm watching Fringe, finally. Currently on ep 1x13. Main impressions so far:
-Anna Torv is pretty like a pretty thing
-She also has a really great disgusted face
-I too would prefer never hearing Walter Bishop say the word "nipple" again
-I would quite like more of Charlie Francis
-I would also like more of Astrid Farnsworth please
-Also, I think I might actually be shipping Peter/Olivia a little. And that's weird, because I usually don't ship the people the show wants me to ship.

WATCHING FRINGEEEEEEE?!!???!

BROYLES APPROVES.

*wants to make comments about some of your bullet points*

*doesn't, because it'd be spoilery*

*instead implores you to keep watching, because each season gets better and better*

Now that I've started, I don't think I can stop, because I'm a completionist. So I think I'd have to watch through to the end even if I didn't like it. XD

But yeah.

I am so CONFUSED that I'm actually shipping Peter/Olivia a bit. I don't usually ship the pairing the show wants me to ship.

Oh and yes, Anna Torv is THE PRETTIEST. She has the best smile and the prettiest hair and I'm a bit in love with her and her AMAZING FACE.

She is LOVELY.

Though it is driving me BONKERS that I can't figure out what color her eyes are.

YAY! :D

Omg I'm such a huge Peter/Olivia shipper. It works so perfectly you kind of can't not be. Although I have like 8 million ships on this show. XD They're the main one though!

I've decided that they're green.

Yeah, it's just...usually when the show points at a ship and goes "HEY LOOK AT THEM," that tends to turn me off the ship altogether. (Case in point: Booth/Bones, Castle/Beckett, Nate/Sophie, Danny/Lindsay...) But I'm not hating Peter/Olivia.

Oh? It's bugging me, because in some light they look brown, and sometimes they look almost...gold. IT'S CONFUSING. And for some reason, this is causing me...not quite distress, but close. XD

Haha I know what you mean. Although I tend to love canon ships because they give me something to work with. But I have rebelled against canon ships that felt like they were too over the top in trying to push it on me. BUT REGARDLESS, YAY, PETER/OLIVIA. :D

I think they might be hazel? Technically? But green is prettier. XD This is totally stemming from my own issues with my eyes, I think they look similar to Anna's but hazel just sounds boring so I call my own eyes green.

For me, it's actually pretty rare that I'll ship anything that's canon. Part of this comes from the fact that most of my ships are slash. And part of it is that I don't like the show trying to tell me who I should be shipping.

There are some canon ships I really love, though. Claudia/Fargo, Zoe/Wash, Willow/Oz are the only ones I can think of at the moment... (ETA: Oh, and Peter/Elizabeth from White Collar, though I really OT3 Peter/El/Neal...)

(I AM RAMBLING. Sorry. I'm a little tipsy, and am writing fanfic FOR A SHOW THAT DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXIST. One that I wrote, in fact, so I'm not even sure if it's fanfic or just a really fleshed-out portion of script. XD And for some reason this is making me REALLY TALKY.)

Mm, if you're a slasher then that definitely makes sense. I'm 99% just a het shipper, but I'm also a multi-shipper and I tend to ship All The People. lol. If the chemistry works on screen for me, then I feel it.

I WISH I WERE TIPSY. XD AND HEY, YOU WRITE FANFIC FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT. WHETHER IT'S REAL OR NOT!

99% a het shipper, and the 1% is John/Sherlock? XD

I tend to latch onto one, maybe two ships per show, and will continue to ship them FOREVER. (Like Danny/Flack from CSI:NY. I've shipped them ever since I discovered the show, and continue to do so despite the fact that Danny/Lindsay has been the canon THING for like...5 seasons now? And hell, I still ship Zack/Hodgins from Bones despite the fact that Zack hasn't been on the show for 3 seasons, lol) I'm not really good at...people...so I think part of the reason I don't multi-ship is because a lot of the time, I probably don't see on-screen chemistry between a lot of characters. *shrug*

I AM WRITING SHIPPY FIC IN MY STEAMPUNK UNIVERSE. This is ridiculous. (Also, is my Anything Goes big bang, which is turning out to be easier than anticipated...the first fic was supposed to be shortish, and wound up being like 1100 words. I don't even know where it all came from. XD )

Heh, my eyes kind of do the same thing. They're mostly greenish, but look brown or bluish in some lights. Also, depends on what I'm wearing at the time, lol. (Also, oddly enough, if I've been crying, my eyes always look more green. I'm not quite sure I understand that one.)

99% a het shipper, and the 1% is John/Sherlock? XD

Bwahaha. You know me so well. XD

I actually used to be like that. I used to like one, maybe two pairings on a show. I guess I'm getting more romantic as I get older because I just want EVERYONE TO BE IN LOVE! And then I want to read every fanfic about it lolol.

EEE AWESOME! :D I love it when a story runs away and just goes on forever (especially if all that "forever" makes sense!).

Also, I kind of CAN'T STOP STARING AT CHARLIE. And it's weird, because I've seen him in other stuff before and mostly went "...eh?" and now I'm all CAN HE BE ON MY SCREEN ALL THE TIME PLEASE.

Fringe was actually the first time I'd seen him in anything. I found out later he has a following from other stuff, and I was like, huh! XD He is easy on the eyes, that's for sure.

The only show where I kind of ship EVERYONE is Firefly, because they pair off so nicely. Zoe/Wash, Mal/Inara, Kaylee/Simon, and I actually am quite fond of River/Jayne (which, really, there's not that much evidence of on the show, but the fic for the pairing is pretty awesome. What of it I've read, anyway.) Though I will admit, I kind of ship River/Mal too.

(Also, between this and shipping Willow/Oz, I'm becoming convinced that Joss Whedon is the only person who consistently creates het pairings I actually like.)

I hope it makes sense! I'm kind of having trouble with character voices at the moment (uh, partially because I don't actually know how people in Victorian London/NYC/Boston would've talked, so they mostly talk like modern-day people, and that's bugging me but I can't fix it right now; plus WRITING DIALOGUE IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE.)

I was watching Prime Suspect, and he's in that, and I wasn't all that into him on that show (and I know I've seen him somewhere else before too. He was probably a guest actor on a cop show, that's mostly where I know faces from XD ), but now I'm all YES PLEASE MORE OF THIS WOULD BE LOVELY.

But I already know that he becomes not on the show anymore at some point, and that makes me sad.

I wasn't going to spoil this but I can't bear leaving you in sadness. But Charlie un-becomes not on the show anymore at some point after that. OKAY, NOT SAYING ANYMORE. XD

Also, it's very weird, but lately I've actually got some OT3s. And I usually don't OT3 at all, but I've got several that I ship hardcore right now. Neal/Peter/El from White Collar, of course (this ship brought to you by the fact that I LOVE LOVE LOVE El with every fiber of my being, and adore the El/Peter relationship, but also cannot deny the Peter/Neal chemistry), and also Parker/Hardison/Eliot from Leverage (this ship brought to you by ALL THE PRETTY PEOPLE IN ONE PLACE. AND A LACK OF NATE'S MANPAIN.)

And of course Annabelle/Kelly/Polly from St Trinian's, but that's such a tiny fandom that most people don't even know about it. My friend who got me into the fandom in the first place is responsible for at least 50% of the fic for the entire fandom. She writes NOVELS.

Bahahaha okay. I don't know anything regarding the circumstances of any of that, I just for some reason knew that he wasn't on the show. (Uh. I think someone, maybe Far?, mentioned it to me at some point a while ago. Because I was talking about her icon while trying to figure out where I recognized him from or soemthing.)

But YAY HE COMES BACK.

Also. (Dear lord why am I not editing my other comments, ugh.)

Bwahaha. You know me so well. XD

Well, that and the entire world ships John/Sherlock? Because how could they not?

And also, I've seen your tumblr. XD

Ahh I have tried so hard to OT3 but I just can't do it, haha.

Well you are lucky to have that friend then! Novel-length fic is the best fic. I wish my other fandoms had 50% long fic like that.

I KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T SHIP THEM! :D And I have been "the one weird person" before (eg, I detest Buffy/Angel and don't really understand it at all) so I kind of get it, but yeah, most people who watch Sherlock end up shipping them lolol.

And also, I've seen your tumblr. XD

rofl. IT'S SO SHAMEFUL. Nah I take that back. I love it. The other day I went back through my sherlockxjohn tag for like 20 minutes, just.. oogling. I love tumblr so much sometimes.

I honestly never thought I would ever OT3 anybody, because the idea of it bugged me. But those few, I really really like. It helps that I found great fic for them, lol. (I am, sometimes, easily swayed by fic, if I encounter it when I'm still fairly new to the fandom.)

Well, not all her fics are novel-length, but in total she's written 260k words of fic for that fandom, all within one 'verse. That's 22 fics total, and looking at AO3, there are only 59 fics for the entire fandom (3 of those are my Criminal Minds crossover 'verse, too, so I don't feel like they really count. Though I wrote those with the intention of it being roughly in her universe, because I've been her beta for pretty much everything, and can't honestly imagine trying to use any other characterization for the characters from the film), and very few of those seem to be over 1k words. So by sheer wordcount, I'm fairly certain she's written half the fandom. (I was actually talking to someone about St Trinian's fic one day, and she asked me "there's other ST fic besides Chosen and Defined 'verse?" And that made me smile, because apparently my friend has a reputation for awesome within the fandom.)

THAT'S SO WEIRD. DOES NOT COMPUTE. (I really don't like Buffy/Angel either. In fact, I frankly don't ship Buffy with anybody. Well. That's a lie. Buffy/Giles, which makes me feel like a creeper. But dude, there was some on-screen chemistry I actually could see.)

I honestly still don't really understand tumblr sometimes. Like this whole reblogging thing. And I hate that you can't like...leave comments. (Also, THERE IS NO TIMESTAMP ON POSTS AND THIS BOTHERS ME. I like being able to know how long ago something was posted.) But your tumblr is full of pretty John/Sherlock things. :)

Augh, I should really go sleep now, because time change tonight means we're losing an hour, and I have TONS OF SHIT to do tomorrow.
