this post is full of squee
Dec. 20th, 2007 08:18 pm+ I've been watching BSG S1. I'm upto 1.7 now. Starbuck is awesome and I heart her. Not seeing the Kara/Lee really, but I will withold comment for now (but there is something extremely... incestous about the Kara/Lee dynamics I've seen so far, and not just because of Lee's brother). I heart Papa Adama, and am considering shipping him with Roslin. Baltar is a slimeball and needs to die. The Cylons continue to rock. The religion thing in particular is very intriguing.
+ Pushing Daisies! I have only seen one episode so far, but. So cute!!! Aron and Vogler and Glinda! When did Aron become so pretty? (and um, he has very nice arms) The show's quirky humour reminds me of Wonderfalls in a way, only darker. The horrible opening scene notwithstanding, I like it.
+ I may be a little bit obsessed with The Devil Wears Prada. Or more than a little obsessed. The sister and I rewatched it the other day, and how awesome is Miranda Priestley? I love that she's an evil bitch. I love how she sort of takes Andy under her wing, in her way, once she sees potential in her. I love the way she says "That's all" (when she's dismissing someone. or when Andy has PWNED her with the HP 7).I love how she spends much time in the movie checking Andy out.
And if Miranda is awesome, so is Miranda/Andy. How can you *not* ship Miranda/Andy? The *movie* ships Miranda/Andy. I quote Nate: "The person whose calls you always take? That's the relationship you're in. I hope you two are very happy together." ♥♥♥
I have been nagging
jaybee65 about this for a while now, but now I feel the need to extend that to my flist – the girlslashers in particular (you know who you are). Watch the movie, people. Watch it, and write me Miranda/Andy. The fandom is an awesome little place, and I honestly think it has the potential to become another Wicked: almost overwhelmingly OTP (a f/f OTP! DWP is even *more* OTP than Wicked, because the musical fandom is divided between Glinda/Elphaba and Fiyero/Elphaba, but DWP is almost all Miranda/Andy all the time, with a dash of Emily. because everybody loves Emily); quietly and steadily producing good fic.

metafandom. Allusion!= plagiarism. Allusion is a technique. It requires thought and effort. Plagiarism on the other hand is lazyness and stupidity.

I promise promise promise to watch The Devil Wears Prada! It is in my rental queue and I should be able to get to it after the New Year!

I'd be surprised if you didn't like Miranda. And it's also really rare to find a movie with two female protagonists, and it's worth a watch just for that.

Date: 2007-12-21 05:40 am (UTC)AS I WAS SAYING (YOU CAN'T STOP ME, LIVEJOURNAL): Vogler was misunderstood. Deeply. And you should watch Wonderfalls if you haven't already
and write me fic because if there's anyone who could write fic in that fandom it's you.issues? me? what issues?
Date: 2007-12-21 08:07 pm (UTC)Yay! You are not part of the evil mass that eats BSG fandom alive at regular intervals. So far, anyways. Yes, it's incestuous. For one, Zak (I think he's spelled that way), for another, them having the same [surrogate] father. For a third, Starbuck is too awesome for angsty Lee. For a fourth, Lee has too many morals for frakked-up Starbuck. For a fifth: Roslin/Apollo. For a sixth: no elitist action hero Viper/Viper shit. For a seventh: Starbuck's mine (and a thousand squeeing fangirls'), and Lee belongs to a thousand other squeeing fangirls, and that should be respected. For an eighth --someone really needs to shut me up now or I'll just go on and on...

Yes, exactly. And that actually makes the ship interesting for me, because of Lee's 'daddy loves you more' issues (and Adama probably does). It's, um, a kink. (Er. I have also considered Kara/Adama on occasions)
