Awesome Things

[sophieisgod]

1. Bloc Party, and London in general

This was absolutely fucking beautiful. It was on at the London Astoria, possibly the sweatiest venue I've ever been to. It's a wee bit smaller than the Apollo in Manchester, where most of my prior gigging experience has taken place (except Razorlight. I've blocked that one out), but it's really intimate, which meant I could see their pretty faces all the better. Insert smutty laugh right HERE. Kele was godlike, as always. That man has the most heartbreaking voice, I love the way he can alternate between yelping frantically and sounding like he's about to cry. Sweaty Matt rocked the drums in the face. Side note: Emma thought he was a literal drum machine for about a year.And oh my sweet lord god, the setlist. As predicted, everything went apeshit for Banquet and Helicopter, This Modern Love was a bit faster than usual, and especially awesome, and they closed with The Pioneers! Plus the new tracks rocked my cock. *le sigh*
Plus, I got to see my bestest slutty homegirl, and have a crazy Port night out, London style. 44 hours without sleep, I think that's a personal record.

2. Pilgrimage to Geordieland for Hot Fuzz signage

Simon Pegg will be mine, dammit! Plus, it's on my day off. And I get to see my Faye. And touch Simon Pegg. Who is looking really rather toned at the moment. I wish he still had Bisley hair... I miss Spaced. You can't drink a pint of Bovril.

3. Valentines Day Pilgrimage Of Love To The Tennant

We got tickets to the Recovery screening! Where he might be at the Q&A! With a beard! Actually, scratch that, he's filming Who again. Clean shaven! All kinds of things are happening in my pants right now. Hopefully The Crotchtographer, aka rose_greenthumb will be on hand to capture the moment, Barrowman style.

4. Heroes

Seriously, this show is taking over my life. In the best possible way. Much love to darkangsty42 for doing the decent thing and opening my eyes to this godly creation. What is not to love? We have The Eccleston, with a beard (Eep!). We have very pretty boys with emo 'bangs' which hang in their faces oh-so-attractively. Seriously, look at the icon. We have invincible cheerleaders. We have adorable Japanese geeks. We have actual, serious intrigue and, like, good plots. And stuff. I'm not just watching for the pretty, oh no. Have I mentioned the pretty? Gah.
Also, LJ really does not help the obsession (I of course mean healthy, balanced love)with its icony goodness, and the overwhelming availability of slash. One word: BroYay.


Also, this Kele interview is pretty good. Mucho insight, angst etc.

Ooh, I'd kinda forgotten about the Future!Peter scar... Kinky. And I've also heard that the 'bangs' will be no more... This makes me sad. Actually, really really sad.

And your crazy-ass time-bending theory just melted my brain. Everything I've read says Nathan, but we shall wait and see. People are already writing creepy incest fics! *shudders... in a gross way*

I've been dreading Peter losing his bangs, but anticipating him gaining his scar. The scar will only further his image as the Tragic Hero.

I pretty much died from amusement. As for fanfics, I'll read pretty much anything, provided it's well written. Which inevitably leads to me spamming you some more.

The Paths Less Traveled: Matt's babysitting Micah and Peter; it's hysterical and adorable.
Somewhere a Clock is Ticking: A future look of how everyone will be doing their part to save the world. Hiro-centric.
Who, What, When, Where: Theoretical look at what could happen to Peter if he absorbs too many of the powers at once. Minorly Peter/Claire, which usually bugs me, because I see it as just more of a protector-protectee or big brother-little sister relationship, but it's nice and understated in this fic. A personal favorite.

And now I've gone and made another rambling comment. :)

Spamspamspam away! Do you have Spam there? It's truly rancid. It claims to be made of meat, and it lives in cans, and sometimes people fry it into 'fritters' which is just... wrong.

Okay, bits that made me fall over/ squee my little head off:

"Disclaimer: I don't own Heroes, but I do sort of wish I could rent Mohinder."
Hee! And also, yes.

"It's not a surprise. Nathan barely touches ground anymore."
Ooh! Intruiging. I wish he flew more, because that is hella cool.

"He looks so different without his scar."
Gaah! Scar!Tension!

"he didn't go out much since the scarring"
Gaah! Scar!Angst!

"When Sylar had sliced at him with that machete, aiming to cut the top of his head off, Peter had dodged enough that the machete missed the top of his skull but ended up buried in the side of his face."
Fucking 'ell! I really, really hope he doesn't get macheted in the face.

"I'm your wife, Peter,"
Okay, I really can't handle Peter/ Claire, just in case she's Nathan's daughter. Which is strange, because I'm more than okay with the BroYay.

Wow, that one was intense. Awesome, but intense. And the split personality thing is way less annoying with Peter than it is with Niki. In fact, twice the Peter would be pretty damn good.


Thank you! That was some high-quality spam. That has truly insired me to turn away from the Dark Side, and read fic that isn't just smut!

And I really can't wait for Peter to get all Tragic Hero. I get a wee bit weepy just thinking about the possiblity of him doing the whole Nuclear New York thing. The only thing I'm dreading more is Ron dying in HP7.

Because I am a nutty English major at heart, right after "Godsend" I started immediately drawing the parallels between Peter and good old Oedipus Rex. (Sans incest... sort of.) When reviewing my notes for my midterm, my suspicions were confirmed. Peter = Tragic Hero.

I will literally die if Ron dies in Deathly Hallows.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Ah, the sad figure of the Nutty English Major... I know it oh-so-well.

And 'Sans incest... sort of'.
BWAH! Ah, the Petrellicest is never going away. Ever. Even if one of them dies. I don't want either of them to die!

I don't really mind what hapens in the whole Harry/ Voldemort debacle, simply because I can see good things about Harry dying and Harry survivng. However, if Ron dies... I'm going ikiN on somebdy's ass, I'm telling you. He has to marry Hermione and have hairy ginger babies! Also, I really don't want my Remus to die, but he's probaly expendable. She might take out all the remaining Marauders. But he has to marry Tonks and have pink werecubs! *le sigh*

21st July, that's literally days before my birthday. Hopefully I won't still be crying...
