Community last night was. . .about what I expected from a Community episode about gay people. (That is: heavily reliant on stereotypes, queer-woman-phobic and transphobic, not quite offensive enough to be flat-out homophobic as the message was, theoretically, that being homophobic is wrong.) Still smitten with Britta, still deeply amused by any and all Inspector Spacetime jokes from now until forever.

Sigh. Once again, my disgruntled hangover Britta icon is the most appropriate.

In other, less depressing news: holiday ficathons! Because apparently it is now November, and SUDDENLY WE ARE PONDERING THE TIME PERIOD AROUND DECEMBER 25. I am trying to figure out what to do - last year I took on too many stories, and ended up having to default on Yuletide, but I am 90% sure it was the kind of defaulting where I can still participate this year. So I am now torn between Yuletide vs. participating in round two of girlsgunsfic vs. IDK, really I just want to write something about Bo and Lauren ~unwrapping presents~ and some of those presents are breasts.

1) I wrote fic! If you are intrigued by the idea of Community fic where Annie and Britta make out and possibly there's some light cowgirl roleplaying and BELT BUCKLES, it just might be the story for you.

Hoedown Throwdown (Boom Boom Clap), Community, Annie/Britta, NC-17

2) HEY SPEAKING OF LESBIANS: I haven't talked about Lost Girl in a while! Which is a shame, because a) this happened:

Meanwhile, I was struck down with the powerful glowing adorableness of Zoie Palmer. I DON'T CARE IF PEOPLE THINK HOT DOCTOR LAUREN IS BORING, I THINK SHE'S SUPER HOT AND INTERESTING. ALSO GAY. It pleases me.

Also also, SyFy has picked up Lost Girl, apparently? I don't really know how I feel about this, because on the one hand, ~American legitimacy and maybe more than $8 for special effects and stuff, and also 26 whole episodes of ridiculous werewolf love triangles and madcap adventures and KENZI AND LAUREN. On the other, I have concerns that ~American television also means less cleavage and lesbians, unless America manages to cure homophobia as like, a summer side project. Which - could happen? I guess? :D?

I don't know.

GUYS I CANNOT EVEN COPE WITH HOW AMAZING TELEVISION IS THIS WEEK.

1) CASTLE. CASTLE CASTLE CASTLE. Mostly I am referring to KATE BECKETT and how pretty she is, god I could die. IT IS WONDERFUL. I want this show to exist forever just so Beckett can have adorably sensible ponytails and wear jeans and t-shirts and be emotionally-vulnerable-yet-fucking-badass.

2) COMMUNITY SWEET BABY JESUS.

( spoilers )

Also there is Fringe tonight which PS I am TERRIFIED of, WHAT IF IT'S AWESOME/WHAT IF IT SUCKS. My heart may not be able to handle all of these feelings. Also also, um. I kind of started a Community-related Tumblr and I don't know if any of you are interested but hypothetically if you are, it would be here: Greendale Texts From Last Night

I had a delightful lunch with carmen_sandiego today, and we spent some time discussing the fact that we never ~talk about TV on LJ anymore, the way we used to. (We have both been using the internet for approx. forever, and recall when you used to turn on the internet with a hand crank and use LJ to post reactions to TV episodes as they aired on cable.)

Anyway. It made me nostalgic, and so: some thoughts on television.

1) IDK if you guys remember when I flipped out over Camelot, AKA the new Starz TV series about King Arthur, if King Arthur was a blonde surfer who inexplicably believed in ~democracy~ and ~governing for the people~ even though this is feudal England. COSTARRING: EVA GREEN AND HER CRAZY EYES AND HER GRATUITOUS CRAZY NUDITY.

The pilot aired a few months ago, but the series is actually ~airing in earnest now, and I just saw episode 2. Which I kind of totally loved, if only for ( spoilers )

Also, they are really making excellent use of, um. We're going to say "costumes," but it's possible that I actually mean "heaving bosoms."


2) I have pretty much powered through all of Community. Fine, whatever internet, I GET IT. BRITTA PERRY IS A HOTASS. As always when I finish a series with a girl in it, I want there to be fic. Especially the kind of fic where Britta hooks up with Annie and they secretly date for like MONTHS without anyone else knowing, and Britta turns out to be kind of a secret romantic and Annie is kind of a freak in the sack and IDK, every hypothetical f/f scenario I come up with these days ends with buying a kitten together, so maybe that happens as well. Not that I have anything specific in mind, or anything.

I know a bunch of you gave me some Britta/Annie recs a couple weeks ago, but if anyone has more, THIS IS THE PLACE TO LET ME KNOW.


3) Other things I am pondering include: mirroring my journal on DW. I feel weird about mirroring my LJ, because I don't really like the DW interface, and do not know of an easy way to crosspost to DW from LJ. I also find the DW communities shockingly sparse and poorly-read, and don't feel super about that.

Also, mirroring my fic on AO3. Pros: I enjoy it as a way to find fic in fandoms I don't know, vs. begging for recs/wading through comms, and want to support that in a vague sort of way. Cons: god, I find the kudos system irritating, even though I appreciate and respect the accessibility concerns that led to it. Also, having to c/p every single story I've ever written (HOLY SHIT THERE ARE A LOT) by hand.
