In which I aimlessly pass the time

[kylezy]

Went and saw Deathly Hallows again on Friday and I can confidently give it the thumbs up now. The most important thing I noticed this time around? Rupert Grint's forearms. Rawwwr.

Officially blocked in a writer-ly way, which is INCONVENIENT as I owe some lovely people Christmas fic and I'm not going to be that person who flakes, I'M NOT. I think it may be because I have that modern day Merlin surf fic still eating my brain. Also some pwp Percival/Merlin, BUT DON'T TELL ANYONE THAT.

GIVE ME RECIPES PLEASE. I've been in a cooking funk, I need something new and yummy to cook.

Aaaand now I've forgotten all the other shit I was going to talk about. IT WAS FASCINATING TOO, YOU KNOW IT WAS.

Come talk to me about one/all of the following:

a) why Merlin and Arthur are failboats in love
b) why Colin and Bradley are failboats in love
c) your ultimate magic reveal scenario
d) the one kink/trope that never fails to turn you on
e) your topic of choice

Comments

e) I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT I HAVE TELEVISION ON MY PC NOW.
AND I CAN RECORD THINGS AND SAVE THEM ON MY COMPUTER.
I WILL NEVER LEAVE THIS CHAIR AGAIN.

a) Have you seen them?





b) You know, Bradley didn't really like Colin when they first met. He thought he was a bit weird, and also rather contemptuous. He didn't mingle with the others, always sat in his corner or talked to one of the producers like they weren't worth his company.
Then, Bradley accidentally ran into him one time, when they were supposed to meet for the final talk before the filming really started, and Colin apologized a thousand times, stumbled over the words and stared at Bradley's shirt print instead of his face, and because Bradley is something like a modern day Sherlock Holmes, he instantly recognized that the reason that Colin hadn't spoken to him before was because he was incredibly shy.
(And maybe also because he was ashamed for his accent, Bradley didn't blame him, he sounded like he had fish fingers in his mouth.)
They parted when the producers called Bradley in, but Colin gave him the first smile he had given any other person on the set so far, and Bradley felt very special.
When they all went out after the first day of filming for a 'bonding night' and Colin defended his zombie apocalypse theory against Katie McEvil and Hussy Coulby, he decided to like him after all.
The rest is history.
THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED IN MY HEAD, OKAY? D:

c) Merlin reveals his magic to Morgana, she runs to Arthur and blackmails him, Arthur sulks a lot and is very hurt, Merlin saves his life with magic while he's actually conscious, Arthur apologizes for being a child, Merlin apologizes for being a complete dickhead, they kiss and make up and stay togethar forevar.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

e) I APPROVE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY.

a) I LOVE THEIR FAAAACES TO AN EMBARRASSING DEGREE. BONUS POINTS FOR PICTORIAL EVIDENCE.

b) I SHOULD LIKE TO MOVE INTO YOUR HEAD NOW, OKAY?

c) OOOH, THAT WOULD WORK, I LIKE IT!

[lolafeist.livejournal.com]

Um, Percival/Merlin PWP yes plz.

Iiiiiii am not a good cook.

a. Arthur is such a boy, Merlin is exploding with feelings all the time

b. I don't even have words. LOVE.

c. I apparently cannot stop writing different reveal scenarios, but as far as on the show, GOD I hope Merlin can be proud and confident when he shows Arthur. If they fuck that up I will be pissed for all eternity.

d. Dub-con that ends with everyone being way into it. Also, hurt/comfort when it's done well, is always always my favorite trope.

e. Waffles. I don't have enough of them in my life right this second.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I want to see if I can write something really short for the pairing before canon destroys the Percival in my head.

a) One of my very favourite things about this pairing xD

b) Love is the only word we need to describe them.

c) Oh my god, yes, I completely agree.

d) Dub-con is generally done really well in this fandom <3

e) CRAVING WAFFLES AND ICE CREAM NOW, THANK YOU.

[lemniciate.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I'm not much of a cook haha. But last night I made an awesome chicken liver dish, if you're interested...?

kajfdhg I end up the person who flakes every single year, omg. BUT NO, this year we will remain strong. >.>

a) BECAUSE THEY ARE FAILBOATS. AND THEY ARE IN LOVE. TRUFAX. Okay, ahaha no. Because they are ridiculous destiny and despite apparent douchebaggery I stil believe that they will come through for each other when it really counts.
b) OH. WELL. Because Colin is actually THE MOST ADORABLE HUMAN BEING ALIVE. I wish I had a better reason, but that's pretty much it.
c) IN BED.
Arthur: Merlin, we appear to be floating.
Merlin: ...I can explain that. Maybe
d) Ooooh, uh. Nothing comes to mind. I'll give you the opposite. Things that turn me off: H/C, character death, cheating (mostly). I'M SURE THERE ARE MORE BUT :/
e) my insurance company contact is called COLIN MORGAN as i found out this morning. I DID A LITTLE :DDDDDD

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

You lost me at liver I'm afraid D:

I'LL BE YOUR CHEERLEADER/WHIP CRACKER!

a) Damn right they'll come through for each other, they love each other, romantically or otherwise.

b) WHO COULD EVER RESIST THAT FACE?

c) A+

d) Yeah, I pretty much agree. Or, I don't mind h/c but not for real life issues like child abuse or anorexia, I just don't have an interest in reading that kind of intensity.

e) NO WAY :O *enters self-indulgent fantasy land on your behalf where he's the real Colin Morgan (moonlighting as an insurance agent in between acting jobs, lawl) and you meet to discuss insurancey stuff BUT YOU GUYS FALL IN LOVE INSTEAD*

[lemniciate.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, yeah, it's a love it/hate it kind of thing I guess? XD

OKAY. Everyone will be getting cards this year. ABSOLUTELY

d) Yes. We were talking about this before weren't we? There are just some things that I cannot comfortably put characters I love through.

It did occur to me that if the fic summary has D/s in it, I'd click on that so fast I'd probably get whiplash. And and and BAMF!anyone. If the shipped people are both spies or assassins or ninjas, SOMEHOW THAT MAKES EVERYTHING A BILLION TIMES BETTER.

My friends and I are contemplating going to see it this Thursday. If only I had my book so I could re-read and remember all my shiiiiiit. ALSO ALSO ALSO: RUPERT GRINT!! ANDANDAND: FRED AND GEORGE! Can I have my own set? Please?

The most recent episodes of Merlin have me wanting to go find/read/devour/etc King Arthur/Merlin/Knights of the Round Table books like whoa. Rawr.

UMMMMMM. FOOD: http://www.squidoo.com/studentfood
http://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipes/index.html

I use the foodnetwork for recipes about once a week. It's friggen awesome. :D Hopefully you can find something you like. :)

a) They're failboats because, out of the two of them, Arthur's the one who's scared. Merlin might not be able to protect himself physically, but his heart's open. Arthur, on the other hand, has walls. And they're up strong.

b) Colin's shy about it. As much as Merlin might be willing, on screen, to share his love, Colin isn't quite. It's like they're opposite to their characters, because Bradley wants to make it more open, Colin can tell by the way their fingers graze and Bradley looks at him when they're walking down the street.

c) While Merlin is, once again, saving Arthur's ass.
d) TOUGH CHOICE, BB, TOUGH CHOICE! But, honestly? Modern!fic where Arthur's some hot shot playboy/teacher/person in position, and Merlin's an awkward friend/student/etc. ;)
e) I need to go grocery shopping like WHOA right now. Also: I have ideas for fic. WHATWHATWHAT?! When's the last time that this happened?

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

HELLO GWAINE ICON xD

I hope you get to see it, it's pretty good for a HP film!

Thanks for the food links bb, recipe websites are my third favourite thing on the interwebs, behind fandom and porn.

a) OH ARTHUR'S WALLS :(
b) OH COLIN'S WALLS :(
c) HELLS YES
d) These tropes can be AWESOME
e) OOOOH, CARE TO GIVE ME A TEASER ABOUT WHAT IT'S ABOUT?

[openmoments.livejournal.com]

....I would reply to that, but, your icon has most definitely thoroughly distracted me. *g*

I'm hoping to see it within the next few weeks.

a.) I KNOW. THEY REALLY NEED TO WORK ON THIS.
b.) AGAIN. WORKING ON IT! ...I feel like fic is coming onnnnnnn.
c.) I KNEW YOU WOULD AGREE WITH ME ON THIS!!
d.) :B What can I say, I have good taste? ;)
e.) I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT! I'M A SMARTER COOKIE THAN THAAAAAAT!!!♥

[amazonbard88.livejournal.com]

oops sorry stuffed up my first comment;

a) Because Arthur thinks he's in love with Gwen and Merlin is too nice to try and convince him otherwise because he just wants Arthur to be happy.

b)because Colin is a repressed catholic boy and Bradley's awkward and just wears his heart on his sleeve all the time. YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANY OF US BOYS, WE CAN SEE THE HEARTS IN YOUR EYES...PARTICULARLY YOUR EYES BRADLEY JAMES!

c) Pretty much think that Bradley's idea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-y0EdUsaks) is the bomb. Finally then I think there should be some epically angsty scene where Merlin is like severely injured by some villain of the week and Arthur becomes completely distraught because Merlin is laying there in his arms gasping his last breaths and Arthur is all "do something, anything...use your magic". GAH; yes, I really want this

d)EVERYTHING! OK no I have no idea...oh; vulnerable, bottom Arthur- there isn't enough of this in fics!

e)I'm going to have another cup of tea now...I'm not sure why it's important that you know this but there you go :P

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

a) YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART

b) NEED THIS IN MOAR FIC PLEASE

c) OMG TEARS IN MY EYES, SERIOUSLY :(((

d) OH YES UNF UNF UNF

e) ENJOY YOUR TEA BB!

I JUST TRIED POSTING AND APPARENTLY MY COMMENT IS TOO LONG. =') I AM SO PROUD. I'm going to have to post two comments now because I can't cut any of this nonsense out! it's all extremely important to like, the mood and atmosphere of the comment. and this little intro isn't really helping the situation. anyways:

I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN IT. can you believe that shit? my brother wanted to marathon the other movies before seeing this one cause, I don't know, that's his thing..and so I watched them with him, which was terrible cause he talked with a British accent for two fucking days but also great because he kept saying I want to cry, did you get goosebumps? I just got goosebumps! at parts and so I didn't feel totally lame for having those same reactions AND NOW I HAVEN'T SEEN THE NEW ONE. my life is so tragic. I'm pretty sure I've seen 99% of it through gifs on Tumblr though. -_-

awww, I'll send you sexy vibes then. they work 0.5% of the time. one time I sent a person sexy vibes so she could get a hold of some Goldfish crakers AND IT WORKED. her neighbor gave her some like, a day after. THEY WERE FREE TOO. I'm totally sure it was my sexy vibes at work cause I'm great like that.
what is PWP? enlighten me, will ya not, lady? maybe you've told me, but I've forgotten. sorry. Percival scares me. I feel like he could destroy me with his pinky. I don't think he's of the gentle giant variety, despite what you and your surf AU say.

YOU KNOW HOW TO COOK? I'm jealous. no, I'm not jealous, I just wish I lived closer to you now so you could cook for me all the time. YOU CAN BE MY HUSBAND.
I want to take baking classes. baking is so fucking sexy, ya know? I want to be able to make some pies and shit. ~~exotic pies~ because I'm so exotic.

a)+b) how do you know they're failboats? maybe they're just really good actors.
c) I've never thought about this, but now that I have..wait, at least I think I haven't thought about it? too much thinking about previous thoughts and current thinking happening here. anyways, I hope it's something fucking badass. I don't want Arthur to walk into his room and Merlin's like, polishing shit with magic, you know? something like..fucking HUGE and he's all ~~powerful warlock~~~, kicking ass and not giving a shit about it..and he saves them from some billion person army, maybe he calls the dragon too and does that hoarse voice nonsense..and Lancelot's there and he's like, fuck yea Merlin, you destroy them shitbombs..and Gwaine is overwhelmed by the sexiness..and Athur's WTF and when he's finally done saving his life, Merlin turns to Arthur and gives him this little face like he's about to cry, but faints cause of power overload and Lancelot and Gwaine go pick him up and shit and it's totally cute [cue amazing shot of Merlin's neck while his head is lolling around]. Arthur's still AHHHHH WHUT but Lancelot and Gwaine are telling him that Merlin's only ever been loyal and helpful, blah blah blah and don't be a dick, sire and Arthur's like, you are correct, my extremely gorgeous brethren, and they all agree to protect him because he is precious. Merlin wakes up in his room and he's all, OH NOES. but Arthur's like, your ON NOES are not necessary, luv and they live happily ever after.

part two

d) school boy dealings and the smelling of necks, or necks just being necks and perhaps being a bit moley as well. OR BADASSNESS. not like, sexual badassness, I don't know how that would work, but basically someone being totally fucking cool and shit, that's better than porn IMO. I'm jizzing in my pants before I even fucking know it.
e) let's see how long I can type about nothing, aw-rite? I mean, you basically gave me an excuse to leave you an extremely long and pointless comment and I must accept the challenge. I'm a man of my word or some shit. you can completely ignore everything from here on out if you like. I will not be offended by it, kk. I just had some French toast and it was pretty fucking great. I think it's cause my sister made it with potato bread. I seriously hope you've had potato bread, cause that shit is aces. I'm pretty sure it's my favorite kind of sliced bread. potato is so exceptional. -siiiigh- you just can't go wrong with it. I hear that they have this giant baked potato statue thing in Idaho and I'm making it my life's mission to see it one day. people say that Idaho sucks, BUT I MUST DISAGREE. I want to find an adoptive family there so I can visit constantly. we can have dinners with thirty different kinds of potato foods and maybe they have a little farm I can walk around in. it'll be fucking cute. I think I've never really had dinner with my family..I mean, we don't have a dinning table so everyone just eats in their room. I think 90% of my meals are eaten in bed. this probably contributes to my fat and lazy factors. eesh. you know, it bothers me when people that aren't you use "in which"? have I told you this? I think I might have. =s but I feel like every other fic description and/or title starts off that way and it makes me angry because I'm all, no! only Kylie can do that! you are not allowed! and sometimes I don't read fics because of it (unless I'm really really bored) and it's ridiculous and kind of crazy, but I guess that's just how I react to every other pointless thing so I should not be surprised. I fucking love popping pimples. do you?? I don't like getting them, of course cause boo their goes my self esteem, BUT! popping is so fun..the pus and the blood and shizz, and if it's a really difficult one to pop and it hurts like a bitch, when you finally get it open it's like I've just accomplished a life long dream. so great. nipples weird me out. Cheetos are lovely. I THINK I MIGHT GO TO IKEA TODAY. how fun, AMIRITE? the Swedish are so cool. I'm going to have a Swedish dedication weekend, where I can only listen to Swedish music and I'll probably watch some Swedish movies too, and if I can get them, perhaps eat some Swedish meatballs. }:] it's going to be great fun. Ben Barnes is my archenemy. this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF40SyaJyH4) makes me so fucking happy. HELLO, IT'S ME.
and that is ~~~THE END~.

I adore everything that you choose to be, just so you know.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO SEE IT? You HAVE to see it - when you get the goosebumps, you're officially a Potter geek.

I don't think he's going to be gentle giant either which make me :((( because I've had the most fabulous time in my head imagining he is. PWP is Porn Without Plot or Plot? What Plot?, I was never really clear on the correct version. Basically porn from start to finish.

Cooking is one of my most favourite things, recipes are like porn for me. I WOULD LOVE TO COOK FOR YOU, I love cooking for people. I am all about baking too - cakes, biscuits, tarts, cupcakes, looooooove. Pushing Daisies made me want to bake pies every single day too.

a + b) Touché

c) WANT THIS LIKE BURNING.

d) Mmmm schoolboy dealings. Oh my god, that...sounded creepy. If the government is watching my LJ, I SWEAR I'm NOT A PEDO, GUYS.

e) I have never had potato bread, I'm so sorry! I've never had good French Toast either :(((

I can't believe you've never eaten with them! Some days eating at the table is the only interaction I have with the rest of my family :|

You've never told me that before, hee, I love that you think this! XD

I do love popping pimples, I get the greatest sense of satisfaction.

Nipples weird me out too. You know what puts me completely out of a fic? The words "sensitive nipples".

Oooh, Swedish day, I like this idea. Make sure you've got some Jens Lekman, Peter Bjorn and John, Hello Saferide, the Hives, Shout Out Louds, and Movits!, okay? Oooh, and I've always wanted to make köttbullar (Swedish meatballs) because they serve them with a creamy sauce and creamy sauces are my favourite.

Ben Barnes is fug, that song is very cool, and you're awesome.

[gallifreycalls.livejournal.com]

Recipe here (http://camelot-fleet.dreamwidth.org/79578.html?thread=4607450#cmt4607450). I'm total fail at cooking and I can manage it. Thus anyone can. (Yan said it better..)

a) They are both major fails at certain things (i.e. Merlin at hiding magic, Arthur at noticing magic). Sometimes, these fails cancel each other out. With Arthur and Merlin, they manage to synergize into boat-sized fail.
c) I wish I could be original, but my favorite is still that scene from the fic where Arthur had figured it out on his own but said nothing until one day, when he tells Merlin that every day, he had hoped it was the day Merlin loved him enough to tell him his secret.
d) Jealous!Arthur or pining!Arthur who thinks that he could never be with Merlin and angsts over the woe that is never being able to have Merlin (except he could if he just told Merlin or something like that)
e) Pickled eggs.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

Admittedly I'd never heard of agar before so I had to look it up, but yeah, I'd totally go that, it looks delish!

a) synergize into boat-sized fail - that is the most awesome way I've ever heard it described xD

c) Oh my gosh, heart breaking into a million pieces. Did the fic end happily at least?

d) Ugh yes, that trope is the failsafe way to my heart.

e) I have never had them, ARE THEY ANY GOOD?
