and re-runs all become our history

[heathershaped]

+ Merlin fandom is so shiny right now. ♥ I mean, still not very diverse, but the weekend has brought us new pictures of the actors from the con and of Bradley and Santiago playing football, plus news that Gwen and Morgana are going to (somehow) get even closer ... series two can NOT COME FAST ENOUGH. And I need to get off my ass and finish some of the fics I've been wanting to write before that happens. Hopefully I can finish my Big Bang fic at the very least.

+ I think I'm done with the CW. Everything on it fails lately -- or maybe I'm just growing out of it. I'm just not that into SPN anymore. TPTB refuse to cancel Smallville even though it's gone on for at least a season too long. Even Gossip Girl has gone from guilty pleasure to kind of hard to watch. And now there are 'new' promo pics for the CW upfronts for Smallville and SPN that are just insulting. Recycling season 6 promos again? 'Shopping Erica's head on Kristin Kreuk's body, really; they think we don't recognise that dress? They've only recycled that pic of Kristin about 35 times. Also, 'shopping Jensen's head from some other shoot onto that season two promo? And we all know Jared's body isn't that thin anymore.

Also, I can name like fifty people just on my f-list who are better with Photoshop than those clowns.

+ Trek fandom is kind of my happy place right now. The never-ending meme about whether or not Uhura rocks aside, there is just so much pretty and squee to be had. *pets it* Plus between the kink meme, the gen meme, and about eight different fic comms, I am swimming in fic, more than I really have time to read, and it's a beautiful thing. Oh, and ontd_startrek is COMPLETE CRACK, I do not recommend it (except I totally do).

+ I have nothing to report on the RL front because there's just not much I want to talk about. Meh all around.

+ Also, LJ appears to be down, but I suppose this crosspost from DW will show up whenever it comes back?

Buh? I don't have LJ downtime... maybe it's your cluster or something--your post isn't there, so it's not just you, but there are other posts since the last time I F5'd...

news that Gwen and Morgana are going to (somehow) get even closer

omg what? :D Tell me more! And it's not coming back until the autumn, am I right? So plenty of time for fic and things.

[heathershaped]

Meh. I went here and it says it's just me, but there are a few people on Twitter for whom it's also down. Some kind of 550 error, for the last 45min or so.

*sigh* I guess it's a cluster thing. I should really be off doing real things anyway. :/

[heathershaped]

Yes!! Here's a good con report over on LJ, where I saw it. http://community.livejournal.com/gwenmorganabbc/54297.html#cutid1

And yeah, not until the fall (though I'm not sure what month), so I've got some time. XD

Also, I never get tired of that icon.

\o/ Excuse me while I make dolphin noises over here!

He said that Morgana is going to go through some things this series that mean that she will actually need Gwen to help and support her.

The entirety of this show is like fanfic, I love it so much.

THIS. <333 It's just cracky, fun, sometimes beautiful good times. XD

The CW doesn't have the money to hire professional graphic people, so they let the interns play with MS Paint... At least, that would explain why their promos get worse every year. *shakes head*

Also, I love your icon. :D

Merlin fandom is definitely bringing out the shinies at the moment - one of my friends went set-stalking on Thursday, the expo on Saturday and then Soccer Six on Sunday. I swear she was hoarse on Monday from all the squee.

[heathershaped]

Hee! One of my favorite icons, that. :D

Yeah, on the bright side maybe the CW are being even cheaper than ever because they're going out of business. Heh. I think it's time.

[heathershaped]

...I think I would've fainted by the end of the weekend.

I mean. Bradley and Santiago were BOTH briefly shirtless at Soccer Six. XP

[silvernatasha]

And hugging, apparently. Although not when they were shirtless.
