In which my wounds were licked

So, did I miss anything vital? Aside from the really important stuff my lovely friends kept me up to date with, of course, like that assassin fic on the kink meme (it's going to break my heart so hard, I just know it). And High School Merlin (finally!) posting. And Colin looking scrumptious in many different forms (all pics from fyeahcolinmorgan).
And, of course, Bradley's new Twitter. If you've been on my flist for a long time, you might remember me expressing the belief that a twitter run by Bradley James would possibly be the most fascinating containment of 140-character nuggets of wisdom the world has ever known.

I wasn't wrong.
Idea: Conquistadors!Merlin & Arthur falling in love but woe! because 1) they're Catholic and 2) they're currently invading Mexico under the leadership of Cortés. And maybe 3) because naturally Merlin is against the whole conquest thing, on moral grounds and idk, maybe his magic is connected to the land in the superstitions and beliefs of the Aztecs and Arthur is Arthur and is all MUST GET TREASURE TO PLEASE FATHER because if fanfic has taught us anything, it's that DADDY ISSUES TRANSCEND ALL RACES AND RELIGIONS. But anyhoo, jungle sex, you know you want it.
Jenn's additional idea because she is a sexy genius: Merlin's magic fades as the magic recedes from the land, so cue sex magic to restore ~life back to the land~.
I think our brains would make the sweetest, filthiest love.
Songs on repeat:
High Ideals - Elbow (really, the whole album is GLORIOUS)
Only One - Smith Westerns
Yer Spring - Hey Rosetta! (m4a)
Tomorrow Has To Wait - Peter Bjorn and John
Not Young Not Old - Campfire ok (m4a)
Little By Little - Radiohead
In other news, I realise I'm late to this party, but I'm so in love with the show Miranda (HI, TOM ELLIS, HI). Is there going to be a season three?

Oh god, Colin. How is he so adorable? He's like a panda. Or a kitten. Or a unicorn that needs a cuddle.

It's a date /leer think of the beautiful, beautiful union ♥
Miranda!! jhajkdfhgafg I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT YOU BEING IN LOVE WITH IT THAT I LITERALLY CANNOT THINK OF A SINGLE THING TO SAY IN RESPONSE. <--except this.

Date: 2011-03-19 01:37 am (UTC)MIRANDA, OMG. At first I didn't like it, but I have seriously not laughed so hard at a show for ages. And for a comedy show, I might have actually howled out loud when all that tension between Gary and Miranda went NOWHERE, GODDAMMIT.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-19 11:01 am (UTC)I KNOW RIGHT. IF MIRANDA DOESN'T GET HER ACT TOGETHER IMMA JUMP IN THERE. oh man, it's such a realistic portrayal of awkward love. oh miranda ♥

Date: 2011-03-19 01:18 am (UTC)THAT ASSASSIN AU. omfg, I've read it like ten times. it's so fucking mysterious. with the killing and all the feelings..arghareoaiu. SO MANY GOOD WORDS TOO. I would take it up the butt for those words. IT'S KIND OF 'LEIF ERIKSON', DONTCHA THINK?
I am too embarrassed to follow him. =///
booo. BOO @ AZTECS. can't they be trying to kill Mayans? then you could write me in as a mayan princess/priestess! TOTALLY (http://twitter.com/MayanPR/status/47771237979656192).
Miranda was on my dashboard shitloads a while back but I never watched it..it's good? download worthy and stuff? I have so much time to kill..

Date: 2011-03-19 02:44 am (UTC)That assassin fic is SO GOOD. Will you hold me when it inevitably makes me cry? To be fair though, you'd take it up the butt for a lot of things tho, right?
AWW, BUT HE'S SO ADORABLE. Look, his latest tweet is asking for donations to charity, how can you not love that?
But...but I didn't watch a doco on Mayans or even Incas. It has to be Aztecs, I'm afraid. But they're not trying to kill them, they're trying to get treasure...they only kill when the Aztecs are unfriendly!
UGH WATCH IT, DEFINITELY. I'll admit at first I didn't like it and every so often there's a bit of humour that makes me side-eye, but I haven't laughed so much at a show for so long. Like, seriously l-o-l-ing, not just *smiiiiileohheythatssortofhumourousIguess* but actual AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAS. You can watch it on YouTube if you don't want to download it, that's where I watched it.

Date: 2011-03-19 05:12 am (UTC)but if it sucks, when you come crying after you read the last assassin part, I will punch you in the face.

Date: 2011-03-19 07:22 am (UTC)I like your fic ideaass, especially that last part. Something about jungle sex? So possibly against trees and they're all sweaty from the humid heat? YES PLEASE.

Date: 2011-03-19 07:28 am (UTC)Against a tree in the sticky heat, so then they have to go have more sex under a waterfall to cool down? MMM.
