• 22:37 @erinmdean Knowing Joss, he'll probably make the characters sing something from Once More, With Feeling or Dr. Horrible. Wackiest ep eva!! #
• 22:38 @erinmdean HAHAHA! So it's not just me that sees Deb/Lundy as some twisted 12 Year-Old Boy/Father Figure ship? XD #

Damn, this shit is so good, it's forcing me to break my non-posting habit of late!

( Spoilrz thru Ep 3 )
( An addendum )

Oh, and I'm living in Indianapolis now. Not sure if I remembered to mention that to everyone. :)

So, yeah, I was in the process of moving to Indianapolis over the last month, and I kinda forgot all about posting pics of my finished JEH as Walter Kovacs sim. Seems like a good day to do it, what with The Sims 3 coming out today and all. I have no idea when I'll get that game. Probably wait until I hear about any issues people are having with it, plus I'm still pretty invested in the Sims 2, so we'll just have to see.

Anyway, onto the "baby" pictures.

( I'm so proud of him! ;_; )

Oh, Joss.

...

I never thought I'd be saying this, but all is forgiven. I may hate myself later for it, and lord knows ours is a troubled, oftentimes abusive relationship (come now, admit it...how many times have you brought me to the heights of ecstasy only to cruelly cut me down when you know I'm at my most vulnerable?), but for this, I can't help but love you. You've made me the happiest woman in the world.

Knowing you, it won't last forever, but I'll hold onto this gift and cherish it for as long as I can. Because I'm a fool for you...your marionette, your plaything, your doll.

And damn you for knowing it all too well.

I have some more sweet-ass Rorschach Sims 2 finds for you guys.

( Sim!Walter definitely isn't going to be a Popularity sim )

Okay, to BED!

ETA: Thanks for the tips, guys. He's already looking a lot better now. :)

Well, I'm definitely in full-on obsessive mode. Over the last few days, I've been searching relentlessly for various Sims 2 items to make a family of Watchmen sims with. Hrm...why is it I only ever get into the Sims while I'm obsessing over fictional characters? I guess I'm more of a fangirl simmer than a serious simmer. Don't have much to show yet but...

( Look below ye olde cut to witness the fruits of my labor thus far )

My Watchmen family is still very much in development at the moment. I need to work on making my own Walter so that he looks more like himself when not wearing his "face". But I like the Laurie that I found as is, so I won't bother making my own version. I'm still waiting for somebody to make Nite Owl II and Comedian sims, though. Also, the Apartment Life expansion pack has the PERFECT hair for Sally Jupiter, so I hope that inspires somebody to make her, or at least create her outfit. I'm pretty good at cobbling together sims from pieces of clothing and whatnot that I find, and I can make the faces look decent, but I'm not much of a skinner myself, really.

Sims courtesy of Sci-Fi Sims.

The cleaver is from Jixs' prop hack on Mod the Sims 2.

Creepy-ass sim furniture from...all over the web. Gimme a break. It's late.

Monsters Vs. Aliens, in a nutshell:

AWESOME use of B-52's music (see if you can spot the scene with "Rock Lobster" in it), and of Stephen Colbert being "Stephen Colbert". This is literally what the world is like inside of "Stephen's" egomaniacal geekboy imagination.

3D looks nice, though not used to go "HEY LOOKA ME IN YOU FACE!" quite as much as I was expecting it to. Loved the paddle ball bit borrowed from "House of Wax".

A treasure trove of referential humor for old/new school sci-fi fans.

Dreamworks = still not Pixar.

I want my own B.O.B.

Title: Animal Urges (I guess? Not sure what to call it, really)
Ship: Rorschach/Silk Spectre II
Rating: NC-17, most def
Summary: During the escape from Sing-Sing, Laurie and Walter fight, torture each other, and fuck.
Warnings: Het, dubcon, rough sex, slightly AU. Pretty intense emotional stuff going on. Lots of blah blah blah before the sexxins.
Notes: For the Watchmen kink meme prompt "rorschach/laurie - prison!sex". If this fic seems in any way similar to orangesparks' Laurie/Rorschach fics, this should be in no way a surprise. Please consider it an homage rather than a rip-off. :)

( Yes, I really am this sick and twisted, bitches )

Wow. That was kind of...unexpected. Kink fics are never really a simple PWP affair for me, though.

Love it or hate it, the Watchmen movie has sparked much activity in the fandom, resulting in a lot of ingenious fan creations. Here's my favorite Watchmen-related bits of Youtubage so far. While some of these might be familiar, I can pretty much guarantee that at least one should be new to you, seeing as how it was just uploaded about an hour or so ago.

Disturbingly good crossover action ahead.

( slightly spoileriffic )

Damn. I'd kinda like to see that as a fic now.

So. As for the Coraline movie itself...well, lemme talk about the previews before I get to that.

( Monsters vs. Aliens, Up, 9, Ice Age 3 )

Okay, and now onto our Feature Presentation.

( Wherein I talk about Coraline at length )

This is definitely my favorite movie of the year so far, and it'll take something truly special to knock it down from #1 status. It's without question in the top five of my "Coolest Animated Films I've Ever Seen" list. I know there'll be lots of competition coming up, but I'll be rather upset if it doesn't get Best Animated Picture at next year's Oscars.

Today I went to see Coraline for the second time three days. But I'll talk about that later. For now, let's have a little look at the not-quite-yet-fully-formed fetus that is the current Coraline movie fandom.

I like to play a little game with myself when I'm first watching a movie that I know is destined for fandom greatness (or "grate-ness", depending on your POV), which is trying to pick out what crazy, fucked up pairings will become fandom favorites and which characters will be Emo-Anime-Mary-Sued to death in art and fic.

Coraline herself is obviously going to be a major recipient of the latter treatment, although I'm sure Wybie will have his own little harem of fangirls who will goth up his image considerably on DA. The pairings, I'm not as sure about. There's not really a lot of obvious character hotness going on with this movie, but I can definitely see Coraline and Wybie being aged up into a Hot Topicy teen couple by lots of fans. I can also see room for lots of Coraline/Other Mother shipping among those who are into femmeslash. But for those who are afraid of scary vaginas in their slash pairings...honestly I dunno. Uh, probably Other Father/Other Wybie? Meeegh...yeah, I can definitely see that. :P

What I DIDN'T expect was what I found in the first Coraline fanfic I've seen anywhere. The fic itself is not horrible and/or batshit, but this little comment in the description grabbed my attention:

This might turn into a pairing of Coraline and Bobinsky, but nothing more than fluff most likely.

So...fluffy pedo fic featuring a ten year old girl and an overweight, eldery Russian man who talks to phantom mice? Oh, fandom, you never cease to astound me. Don't ever change!

UGH. Now I can TOTALLY see Other Father/Coraline in my head, and cannot unsee it. BRAIN BLEACH ASAP!!!

Well, because of all of this "THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING, THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING" (or whatever) business, I took my flist's unanimous advice to archive my LJ (with the aptly named LJarchive, in case you were wondering). When it's done, it pops up a window with your first archived post, and you can click an arrow to read through the rest. So I've been reading my LJ from the very beginning, and it is a VERY, VERY disturbing experience. Pretty depressing too. There are so many people I used to talk to every day who I've now completely lost touch with....a couple of them I don't even REMEMBER anymore.

I might even post quotes from old journal entries as a sort of Retrospective on My LJ kind of thing. Not that I was that different in 2002 from what I'm like now. I was just more of an intarwebs n00b and referred to myself as "Hel-chan" waaay too much. But it's fun to point and laugh at what a tard I was for Harry Potter, or how much I sucked at my past job, or what a mad, young fool I used to be.

I mean, Snape/Hermione? REALLY, Hel-chan? Tsk tsk.

OK. So anyways, peeps, if LJ really does get nuked by the Russians, y'all better drop me a line and tell me where you're moving on to journal wise, ya hear? Blargh...if LJ goes under it's gonna be a social clusterfuck of gargantuan proportions.

Well this whole Tennant-leaving-Who thing has been a very painful process for me. I've gone through Denial, Anger, and Depression (skipped Bargaining because it seemed pointless), and now I feel I'm truly at Acceptance...of David leaving, anyway.

( Spoilery stuff about the casting for Eleven )

All that said, I'm throwing in my vote right now: Chiwetel Ejiofor for Twelve!!...or at least Eleven's long-term companion.
