sadly not by me, but still awesome.

I think I am avoiding posting about how my days have been going because, um, if I did I would have to start thinking about how I'm graduating, and then I would cry all over my laptop. So instead we are all being WEIRDLY MOODY and getting UPSET ABOUT RANDOM THINGS like HOW FLIPPING CASTLE/BECKETT IS BEATING PUCK/RACHEL HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY CHEMISTRY

as we were saying, Castle basically relies on the success of other shows (e.g. Bones and The Mentalist), which doesn't make it bad, but doesn't make it compelling to those who are fans of the other shows (especially if the other shows actually have chemistry, see Bones). Anyway vote for Zutara, etc. etc., show Usagi/Mamoru (Sailor Moon/Tuxedo Mask) some love because they are hurting. I think so far those are the only ones I'm really worried about (not that there aren't other ships in there that I love, but so far everyone is doing okay.)

(Having to pick between Mulan/Shang and Tiana/Naveen based on hotness is pretty cruel though. Both couples are pretty smoking.)


Anyway! On the subject of Puck/Rachel, which is my Glee OTP (although I am really fond of this Jesse/Rachel thing that's going on because Rachel just looks so happy. Also I am really fond of the last two episodes of Glee because, aside from Will, it's actually been...watchable). Ariel has been sending me links to fic as rewards for finishing my homework (one paper left!), and with a link to this one (haven't read yet, have to hang up Disney pictures first...and then probably, like, color more...), she sent me the following meta:

[note: this was clearly written while under the influence of lots of Puck's POV fic. Just sayin'.]

In other fanfic news, the other day I read a Puck/Tina fic. One of my authors recommended it and I was like what the heck sure. I find it interesting that the one quality that everyone seems to attribute to Puck, whether they be Puckleberry, Quick [really, Quinn/Puck shippers? or, better response, LIKE THEIR SEX LIFE], or Puck/Tina shippers is that Puck always lets the chick be who she really is when she's with him. Rachel is fuckin' crazy, Quinn is a self-righteous pregnant bitch, and Tina is well we're not as certain what Tina is as she's a side character on the show, but Puck definitely doesn't mind that she's all emo and shit. I just find that Puck having that quality to be intriguing since he's the biggest bully of the Gleeks on the show. Puck isn't known for his tolerance. But he did walk down the halls of school with Rachel on his arm that one week he and Berry were dating. And he did quit football for her. While Finn punked out (both in the football vs. glee thing and the glee yearbook photo thing) and Artie flat out told Tina she needed to change if they were going to be together. Well, I actually can't reflect on this anymore right now because I have to get to lab...

Ariel

P.S. Also the chick is always represented as the one girl that can put up with Puck's badassness and see through his shit. Are the characters really that similar or is this just a necessary quality for a woman who's going to be with "the Pukerone"?


SO, fellow watchers-of-Glee/sellouts-like-me, thoughts? Anyone else notice these trends in Puck fic? Anyone more familiar with the first nine episodes than I am want to let me know what we see of Puck's character? PLEASE, DISCUSS.

Ah, I understand Shang being your first love. I think Phillip was mine. These things stay with us for a long time. (I think one can safely say, though, that Naveen is perhaps one of the few princes who is just as important in the movie as the princess.)

Aw, I kind of love Sue. She's insane, but at the same time you get the feeling her life as a child was insane. And she even has feelings! Even if she routinely ignores them. :-b

Yes, I understand completely. :-)
