firthgalYou know, if the show made Gwen/Arthur as epic as this vid made it:
I would probably ship the heck out of them. But, you know, in the actual show, Merlin is there being all epic with Arthur, which makes it hard to appreciate this Arthur/Gwen business. AND THEN THERE'S LANCELOT, BEING ALL DREAMY WITH HIS HYPERBOLIC PICKUP LINES.
Oooooooh, Lancelot, you win every time. Why? Because you've made Gwen feel like a princess right from the start. I think that's what will always, always sway me towards Lancelot/Gwen, even though he only shows up for one episode a season and TOTALLY LEFT LAST TIME WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE. JERK. And yet, I feel Gwen's love for Lancelot so much more than I feel whatever it is that she feels for Arthur. I am so, so sorry Arthur, but at least you still have Merlin, right? Right? RIGHT?

Comment with "Now I want pancakes!" and I'll tell you:
1. Something random about you.
2. Which color you remind me of.
3. My first memory of you.
4. What random character I associate with you.
5. My favorite thing about you.
6. What fandom I associate with you.
7. Challenge you to post this on your journal.
I just finished the third book of The Immortals series. SO MUCH SUBTEXT, HOLY CRAP. DAINE IS NUMAIR'S WEAKNESS. NUMAIR WON'T LEAVE WITHOUT HER. DAINE DESTROYED AN ENTIRE KINGDOM TO AVENGE HIS SUPPOSED DEATH. DAINE WAS TOTALLY JEALOUS OF VARICE. NUMAIR WAS TOTALLY JEALOUS OF KADDAR. NUMAIR CALLED DAINE PRETTY AND WORRIED ABOUT THE DAY SHE'D GET MARRIED. Oh, them. They are in love. Love love love. Also, I kind of ship Daine/Rikash? You know, if Rikash didn't stink of rotting flesh and had man bits instead of bird bits (and if Numair didn't exist), THEY WOULD BE SO AWESOME TOGETHER. I just love how they have this begrudging respect for each other that somehow turned into a begrudging liking of each other where they can even laugh together and think about each other in a way that doesn't involve murder. It's quite lovely! But, you know, Numair is her man.
I am going to go ahead and finish this meme up, because I predict that I will be obsessing over Vampire Diaries come Thursday and Merlin come Saturday and will completely forget about finishing this thing, so:
The 30 Day Community Meme
Day 24 - A scene that made you angry
Honestly, I can't think of one! This show pretty consistently makes me happy. (reading comments to secrets about the show on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandomsecrets, however, makes me pretty damn angry. Yes, there was more Jeff/Annie wank today. No, I don't understand how the Jeff/Annie fans are such an abomination against humanity. Clearly these people have been in extremely tame fandoms before they got to this one, because I've always felt that this one was nearly wank-free. Heck, even The Office fandom is less tame than this one!)
Day 25 - Something that happened that you wish didn’t
The first few episodes, where Jeff is a total douche who just wants to get into Britta's pants? Yeah, I hated that, and it almost made me quit the show. But then it started utilizing its ensemble and I fell in mad, mad love. Oh, also? I was not fond of The Art of Discourse, namely the duh-off scene. I know that I am in the very small minority on this one, but ugh, I hated that ep so freaking much.
Day 26 - Something that didn’t happen that you wish did
Ever since reading this interview, I've been wondering what it would've been like had they gone with the whole "Let’s do a finale where it seems like we’re playing this love triangle and then just out of left field let’s just try something like Britta goes to his apartment door and opens it up and Annie answers it and it's clear that she was having sex." If the fandom is in this much of an uproar over a kiss, JUST IMAGINE THE INSANITY THAT WOULD COME FROM JEFF/ANNIE SEX. I don't really wish it had gone this way, I'm just curious about the impact that it would have had. With just a kiss, they can still keep Jeff/Annie somewhat innocent and keep playing off of their UST, whereas with the other option it would pretty much be saying, "Hey, we went there, we solved their UST, now we can move on." So, I guess I'm happier with how things actually turned out, but, you know, I AM INTRIGUED.
Day 27 - Favorite cast image
Day 28 - What you want for Season Two
Epic hilarity. Some Jeff/Annie adorableness (yeah, suck it, f!s commenters!). FIELD TRIP SHENANIGANS. WHY HAVE THEY NOT GONE A FIELD TRIP YET?
Day 29 - What your overall opinion was of Season One
IT WAS SO SUPER EPICALLY AWESOME IN EVERY WAY. Well, it got off to a slow start, but once it hit its stride, it was wonderful. No show does parodies/reference episodes better than this one does.

How the hell are you, Firthy???

Date: 2010-09-07 10:07 pm (UTC)HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? I just mentioned you the other day (http://firthgal.livejournal.com/361333.html#cutid1). Not much new on my end, other than this little bundle of joy (http://firthgal.livejournal.com/352630.html) crying her head off. (she is totally my girl. I have been spoiling her rotten)
BIG HUG!!!
Date: 2010-09-10 03:02 pm (UTC)What an adorable wee thing! How old is she now?
And I left a comment on that Willy F. post. Still not sexy.
;)
Re: BIG HUG!!!
Date: 2010-09-11 12:45 am (UTC)She is now a month old! And only about 9 pounds at this point (and that was with a blanket and a diaper on, so she probably actually weighs a little less). She is totally the runt of our family. Usually the babies in our family weigh more than that when they're born (well, not "usually", we've all weighed more than that when we were born).

You have a very naughty reputation. And Chik Fil A.
Which, by the way, I have yet to actually SEE a Chik Fil A outpost in the wild.

Oy vey, is that The DL's crotch rocket? Two years ago, this would have prompted a whole post about the difference in taste and merits of Chik-Fil-A and the bulge.

Date: 2010-09-14 03:19 am (UTC)I think honestly the reason I had such an easy time making fun of The Damian was that he WAS such a douche and part of me hated him for not being more like Charlie Crews. I still have a HUGE crush on Charlie. Always will. Just too bad NBC killed him. Sigh.
