pirateygoodness1. Warehouse 13! I - I have a lot of emotions. A lot of them are Claudia-related emotions, and the rest are related to Myka and her hair and how fabulous she is, PLUS I have some theories about the thing that happened in the first episode of the season and What It Means. I want to discuss it, but I also want to wait and see where the show takes things. TORN.
2. Due to various reasons, I've been scheduled bizarre work hours recently and maaay have accidentally rewatched all of Season 4 of Buffy. WORLD WITHOUT SHRIMP. GILES IS A DEMON. I WEAR THE CHEESE, IT DOES NOT WEAR ME. Also - okay, first of all, I cannot believe it has been more than ten years since that season aired on TV, but also I have a lot of thoughts re: Willow and Tara. Because like, as a fourteen-year-old babyqueer watching that as it aired, I thought Willow and Tara were SO COOL and also SO SUBTLE AND MYSTERIOUS (possibly I also thought Buffy was THE BEST SHOW EVER MADE EVER). And looking back - god, what a bizarre way to depict a relationship. I know that at the time there were limits to what one could show in a TV program geared toward teens, but - like, they don't even kiss. At all. The entire season.
And now TV shows aimed at teens can have queer female characters have sex, in an actually-depicted way, and - I don't know. The future: different from the past and in many ways better!
Also, going back as an adult, I cannot stand Xander anymore. Wow.
3. At the end of the month I am going to Fan Expo, which is like SDCC except little and Canadian and everyone is super polite yet simultaneously has no boundaries. And once again, the cast of Lost Girl is doing a panel. I plan to nerd out hardcore and wait for an amount of time I shall not disclose after the fact to be in a room while Anna Silk and Zoie Palmer talk about things.
It's going to be fantastic/possibly it will go a lot like this a softer world comic. If any of you are in the area and planning to be there, let me know!
4. In light of this, possibly I want to try to rewatch alllll of Lost Girl between now and August 24. GUYS YOU SHOULD JOIN ME. THERE IS SO MUCH RIDICULOUS STUFF/I SORT OF LOVE THAT SHOW/MAGIC BEER BODYSWAP THEREFORE ALL YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE INVALID. MAGIC BEER BODYSWAP AND ALSO I AM WILLING TO BET MONEY THAT LAUREN SECRETLY MAINTAINS A CUPCAKE BLOG IN HER SPARE TIME.
(Someday I will have to do ficlet-amnesty and post the snippets of my Lauren-and-Dyson-get-drunk-and-agree-to-open-a-brewery story. I want that to be actual fanon, you guys. So much.)

3. I totally thought of you when I read that A Softer World comic.
4. Hmmm, I might be up for a Lost Girl rewatch, but I don't know if I could finish in time with how busy work has gotten. I'd probably have to pick and choose specific episodes.
p.s. I want to read about Lauren's cupcake blog!

4) I am debating starting with S2, as I have seen S1 like, a lot, but maybe I will watch Vexed juuuust one more time on account of 'nobody owns you.' I think I'm going to start tonight - likely it'll be in long stretches on my off days and then nothing on the days when work is super busy. I want to at least have made it to the end of S2 by Lost Girl Day at FanExpo. (which: let me know if you decide to go!)
PS: IT IS REALLY INTENSE. She only blogs when she is not in the middle of being locked in a dungeon/saving the world, but I feel like she gets really serious about developing and testing recipes. She probably spent a week just piloting recipes to get the optimal buttercream texture. I also have this theory that she wrote the original maple-bacon cupcake recipe.
