angelgazing | my heart won't stay entirely in this ribcage

Panic(!) drama and heartbreak lead to me tripping and skinning my knee on a new fandom.

JFC, why did I not listen to you all about Merlin sooner? Like I don't have a well documented weakness for gay wizards or something. So adorable! So OTPable!

The new clip and Brendon Urie's voice continue to leave me with hearts in my eyes though, so I don't think I'll be leaving that behind anytime soon. I can't really express my joy for either of those things outside of flapping hand gestures and itunes play counts.

I haven't had a chance to even glance at my f-list, really, between remix and homework, so I'm sorry if I've missed something important. You should totally tell me what it is though.

But, but, it is July 12th, which means remix is due before 11:59EST tonight. If you aren't going to be able to post your story by then--and as long as it's complete, even if you're waiting on your beta to get back to you, by all means post it now--please, please, for the love of god LET US KNOW. remixredux @ gmail . com The archive is supposed to go live next Sunday (which means you have until then to edit your post, once it's up and approved) but it won't happen until everyone who turned in a story has one of their own.

REMIX! I fear Vic's pokey stick and so should you!

Hahaha. Welcome to the club, bb. :D

Is the grass greener over here? Please tell me it is.

(Magic and princes and swords and name calling! I really don't know how I thought I could stay away.)

You bet it is. ;D

I know! And dragons in the undebelly of the castle, and swordfights and cheesy monsters and BOYS IN LOVE!!!!

(How far into the series are you? Don't want to accidentially spoil you.)

I kept watching and thinking, 'wow, they just can't be any more gay for each other' and then, man, they just kept managing to pull some more gay out of the hat.

I've only watched up through the 5th episode, though, I'm kind of scared to watch the rest. I'm not sure they can really measure up to the epic love that sneaking around in fandom has given me.

Epic. Love.

I don't think you can spoil me, exactly, because I've kind of been reading fic. By kind of I mean,

crack_van lives up to its name. (But now I've gone through those and I need more.)

Trust me, they can. The gay keeps on giving and giving and giving. And once you have watched all the episodes, you have to get the audio commentary to get more of the gay. :D

Don't worry. It only gets better. You've seen nothing yet! (God, I wish I could all see it for the first time again, too.)

Okay, now tell me why I did not know about the crack_van comm before? Thanks for accidentially pointing me there!

(BTW, if you like podfic and haven't already got this downloaded anyway, you'll love MERLIN aka Fratboy!Arthur. My favouritest of all my favourite :) http://emptybackpack.overstuffed-closet.net/?page_id=82 )

OMG there is commentary too? Dear lord, I have no hope.

It's so cheesy! It reminds me of season one of Supernatural, where it's the most fabulous thing ever, and also I'm kind of ashamed with the level to which I enjoy it. I've sloooowly (stupid internet connection) been getting the episodes, because I get the feeling I'm gonna want to watch them all at once, over and over again. lol

Oh,

crack_van should come with a warning. Well, ok, it maybe does, what with the "want some candy little fangirl" tagline. It is also through a rec on there that I ended up so in love with bandom. I can quit anytime I want, I just don't feel like it right now, really. Really. I could do it.

Oh, dear lord, Fratboy!Arthur sounds like the greatest thing ever.

Yes there i-is. *glee* http://community.livejournal.com/merlin_tv/228395.html?view=611627#t611627 I'd point you to the YT vids with the best bits but it seems they have been taken down. :(

I remember I watched all the episodes while I had to stay in bed-ridden with a bad case of cold last winter. Worse time have been had.

Sure you can. *pats your head*

OMG, it is. And when you've recovered from that, go on to read rageprufrock's Drastically Redefining Protocol. It really is as good as it's made out to be. http://www.glitterati.talkoncorners.net/drp/drp.html (Is my love for Merlin AU fics showing?)

Youtube is such a tease at this point, with all the things I know used to be there that aren't anymore. Thank you so much for the link! I'll start on those as soon as I get all the episodes. lol

That sounds like an awesome way to spend your time with a cold, I have to admit. I'm not saying yay! sickness, but if you had to have one... lol

Oh, oh! No, I stayed up until like 5 in the morning, even though I'd had like 3 hours of sleep the night before, reading Drastically Redefining Protocol. The levels of awesome of that story are sort of off the charts. The banter! The name calling! The text messages! Ninjas! So, so much awesome.

Feel free to flash that around here anytime you feel like it.

Hm. I'm gonna have to make myself some Merlin icons. lol

Hahah, I hate it when I get sleep-deprived because of fandom. It's so hard to explain to real world people why you've red-rimmed eyes... Happened to me two nighs ago when I decided to watch the first Torchwood epi AFTER I got home from a night out...

DRP is just sooo out of this world in its epicness. All the manipulations, the Oh No They Didn't entries, OMG, it's all so incredibly well done.

I have way too few Merlin icons for my liking. Screw you, LJ and your tiny icons space.
