I am finally getting some alone time today. I've forgotten how much I appreciate my alone time. Anyway:

The 30 Day TV Meme
Day 21 - Favorite ship

This is kind of hard since it quite often changes, because, at the moment? It's totally Jeff/Annie (from Community). And not so long ago my OTP of all OTPs was Daniel/Betty from Ugly Betty (which has actually morphed into Armando/Betty, since I seem to get obsessed with them in every single version of the show). But then there's Buffy/Giles, an OTP I got so ridiculously wrapped up in and it is so epic and angsty that my love for them will probably last a lifetime. And we can't forget Uther/Morgana, but in all honesty, I'm kind of over them for the moment? Which feels weird, but once Merlin kicks back up again I'm sure my obsessive love for them will resurface.

So, I guess what I'm saying is, my current flavor of the month is Jeff/Annie, the ship that I most enjoy and love watching (repeatedly) in all incarnations is Armando/Betty (aka Daniel/Betty), but the ship with the most staying power in terms of watching and fanfic is probably Buffy/Giles.

And now I'm going to hit you with a random Jeff/Annie fanvid, just because:

*dreamy sigh*

Also, if anyone is looking for Jeff/Annie fanfic recs, I highly, HIGHLY rec these two fics by drearygirl:

Slow Show - This is both canon-based (up to 1x16) and future!fic, and it manages to incorporate the entire ensemble in the most brilliant ways possible, and I love how it emphasizes the importance of the entire group for Jeff, not just Annie or Britta, everyone, and there were so many moments where I was laughing out loud with this fic (especially during pretty much any bit that mentions Pierce), but it's also this beautifully plotted out romance for Jeff and Annie and it's completely believable and you're really on this emotional journey with them, and just... I can't say enough good things about this fic. And it's interesting how many themes it hits upon that were explored in the show later in the season (it's like the writer was psychic or something, or... you know, picking up on things that I wasn't looking for). This is a two parter, so be sure to check out the second chapter, too.

Like to Tell You All I Want is Now - By far my favorite post-finale fic that has been posted. It just captures that peace between Jeff and Annie so beautifully, how they just enjoy being around each other, how they always seem to flawlessly know what the other needs at the exact moment that they need it, and just, GAH, I love it.

Basically anything by this author is made of win, but those two are my favorites.

The 30 Day Film Meme
Day 05 - Favourite love story in a film

Okay, to choose just one is wicked hard. I mentioned some of my favorites last night, but it is virtually impossible for me to choose between them, so I think I'm just going to go with my favorite epic period romance: Anna and the King.

Gaaaah, the repressed feelings! The constant butting of heads! The way he is always dazzled by her crazy English lady views! The way he makes her blush when he teases her! The way they take each other's breath away! The way they want each other so badly when they know they can't have each other! The way she makes him understand only wanting one woman! The way they totally break each other's hearts and yet decide to keep loving each other anyway! The little moments where they almost touch but don't! Basically, everything about this romance is beautiful. Yeah, the film is obscenely inaccurate with the historical details, BUT DO I CARE? HELL NO. Because Anna and King Mongkut are so, so, so tragically beautiful. And it's got one of those endings where your voice gets all screechy and you're like, "NO! NO, GOD, WHY? WHY CAN'T THEY BE TOGETHER?" But you know why, and yet it still hurts, but that ending shot with them dancing and sort of finally giving into their feelings is so insanely beautiful.
