jade_sabreOkay y'all for those of you who are interested I swear I am working on a post about last week. Really. It's coming. I just--have to work out how to word things. And try to determine how much kissing to talk about. (I love kissing. It is AWESOME. And now I miss it muchly.) (Here: tell me what y'all want to hear about, that will help.)
In the meantime, two things! One is a meme from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redbrunja from a couple weeks back, in which I am supposed to post about five things and if you comment with a bang bang or something I'll ask you about five things and anyway, her five things for me were
1.) Favorite disney movie.
Sleeping Beauty! I mean, I love watching The Little Mermaid (it is one of the few movies I can watch in the background) and I enjoy Beauty and the Beast and The Emperor's New Groove makes me laugh SO HARD and Pocahontas is, for all its troubles, beautiful--but Sleeping Beauty is my favorite. It has everything! And if Tim Burton makes an adaptation of it I will die.
2.) Favorite romantic dynamic.
I do love Holly Golightly/Paul, Attolia/Eugenides, Tenar/Ged, Scarlett/Rhett--I like a certain amount of hardness or coldness in the girl and watching how the guy tries to get around it? While knowing the fact that the girl is just so afraid of being vulnerable (and usually the guy is too) and they have to work it out and there's anger and bitterness along the way and desperation and passion and--yeah. That.
(See also: A Room with a View.)
3.) Show/movie/book that you wish had a huge fandom.
Oh my goodness I don't know. It's a dangerous question because when tiny fandoms become middling become large, things change, and sometimes I like the tiny fandom for what it is.
Also I have not joined any new fandoms lately, so...idk. Usually I just wish there was better fanfic for things like my weird random Nickelodeon ships.
OH. OH. I WISH NWN2 HAD A LARGER FANDOM SO THAT MORE PEOPLE WOULD READ MY FICS. And love them. Why will no one love them. ;_;
4.) Thoughts on organized religion?
Any human organization is bound to be flawed, have problems, and make mistakes. But if they are also striving towards truth, then the truth will guide them towards goodness as well.
(Totally watching Ever After and I love their first kiss so much. THE MOST ADORABLE.) (They have good technique just sayin'.)
5.) Last book you read.
Spindle's End, by Robin McKinley. I still enjoy it muchly, but I find it--interesting, what she decided to include and what she decided to leave out, in telling Rosie's story. The last time I read it I was struck by the theme of family within it, and how families are defined and function and evolve over time; this time I snagged on the idea of identity, and what makes a person who they are. A little ramblier than I remembered, but still good.
The second thing: I remember this song, how many years after I first saw it? And I found it on Youtube today and felt a desire to share it with everyone:
