angelgazing: (Arthur also has rules)

don't you tell me that you don't to

I finally managed to write something for the cuddling meme! But I Still Think That We're In Love. Arthur/Eames and a typical morning. Um. It is ridiculous. But cuddling.

Title totally stolen from, uh, IDK, I was listening to Darren Criss at the time and really just wanted to go to bed. But this is a totally important point, okay: Darren Criss is too awesome for words. I'm blind from the heart eyes!

I was going to try a little Puck/Kurt thing next, but IDK, you guys. I have the hardest time with Glee fic. WHY IS IT SO HARD?

Um. Um. WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD WRITE NEXT?

IT IS NOT RIDICULOUS IT IS INSPIRED. OR MAYBE BOTH.

Your UTTERLY CHARMING cuddlefic* makes me want more of your Eames and your Arthur because they are WONDERFUL! Maybe a late night bookend piece?

*okay, now I keep conflating cuddlefic with cuttlefish...it may be time for bed...then again there may be dreams of cephalopods in my immediate future.

IT IS MOSTLY JUST RIDICULOUS, BUT SO IS EVERYTHING I WRITE EVER. IT'S LIKE, A DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC AT THIS POINT. I BLAME [livejournal.com profile] aredblush AND HER CARE BEARS, OKAY.

But I am totally glad you liked it! LOL I think, at the end of the day, Arthur would make it his mission to tear Eames away from the evening news. Hmmm...

I wrote one Glee fic. I didn't find it too HARD, exactly...but it felt WEIRD and sort of wrong, so I never wrote one again after that.

I really liked the fic itself I just had a strange...knee-jerk reaction to the act of writing it or something?

SO WEIRD. GLEE FIC IS WEIRD, WEIRD, WEIRD.

I wrote one Glee fic! And I've got like... 6k of another one that I want to finish so bad, but it's just been stuck since forever. Also, I totally wanted to do a Puck/Kurt for the cuddling meme. They need hugs, dammit. >:( How do you mean sort of wrong?

I CAN'T GET THE GLEE VOICES AT ALL. /o\ IT IS THE WEIRDEST.

1.) YUM. YOUR ICON.

2.) Just wrong in that I did not feel at ease writing the characters I guess? Well there is a copy here (http://delires.livejournal.com/1481.html), you can see for yourself! It is sort of...buried because I hate it! /o\

1) RIGHT? His hotness does unspeakable things to me. I can't help it! His arms and his jaw and his mouth. (Um. My weaknesses are so well documented, my god.)

2) I can get how you'd feel that way. The Glee characters are tricky. LOLOLOL I thought I was the oooonly one who buried things I didn't like.

1.) I was once called upon to settle a Puck vs Finn argument between some of my students and team Finn were appalled when I said Puck without hesitation. They're all 'MISS NO HOW COULD YOU!' and I'm like...'Guys, have you SEEN his abs? WHY ARE YOU EVEN HAVING THIS ARGUMENT?'

2.) Haha. NO. I keep plenty of things buried out of sight and mind...BECAUSE THAT IS BEST FOR EVERYBODY. We all have embarassing old fandoms... /o\ GHOSTS OF FANDOM PAST!

I read the meme fill and loved it, as you might have noticed from the lengthy comment. I'm SO GLAD I finally saw that movie. 8D

I know what you mean about Glee fic. =\ I actually just don't like writing it as much as I used to, although I do want to write a Puck/Kurt fic, too. It's a combination of bleh about the fic I've been trying to write lately because it's just not coming out the way I want it to, bleh about a lot of fandom stuff because I don't go on the comms as much because of some of truly insane people on them, and bleh about the show. I've liked a pretty good portion of season 2 so far but I'm just not as crazy about the show as I used to be. I blame the seriously inconsistent characterizations with some people.

WRITE MOAR ARTHUR/EAMES. :3

EEE I'm so glad you liked it! And that you liked the movie! Ugh, really, Inception is the movie of my heart. I couldn't adore it more, I swear.

I understand where you're coming from about Glee fic, too. I mean, it doesn't really help that the only characters on Glee I care about at all are Kurt and Puck. And, well, now Blaine but that's really just because I find Darren Criss to be the most adorable EVER. But yeah, I've really... drifted away from Glee fandom as a whole. :\

OH GOD SO MANY ARTHUR/EAMES FICS PLANED. SO MANY.

[identity profile] tlaina.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It is easily one of my favorite movies now. Honestly, I am so glad that Chris Nolan reuses actors a lot because Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy were just fantastic. I always forget that Cillian's Irish because of how flawless his American accent is. Then I watch Breakfast on Pluto and I'm like "Oh, right. He's even cooler because he's Irish." I'm so glad that Tom Hardy is getting more and more roles and exposure because he's just amazing. I saw him in Star Trek: Nemesis when it first came out and was so sad when I didn't see him in anything for quite some time (I think that movie came out about a year before he became sober, so he was still really messed up around that time). I still need to see L4yercake and RocknRolla and so many other things.

Darren Criss really is adorable. If I ever meet him for some reason, I just want to thank him for being awesome. Kurt, Puck, and Burt will always be my favorites. I'm really avoiding the Kurt/Blaine community these days because a lot of people on there are so insane about those two that I started getting overexposed and didn't care about them, like, at all. I'm still kind of like that but not as much as I was even two weeks ago.

GOOD BECAUSE OMG. ♥ I've also started liking Robert/Saito and I read a freaking adorable Saito/Cobb fic on the kink meme. I swear, between my love of Eames/Arthur, Puck/Kurt, Harry/Draco, Harry/Snape, and loads of other pairings, I'm starting to see a pattern. lol I like when one of them is antagonistic to the other, I guess. The moment I knew I was going to ship Arthur/Eames was when Eames demonstrated what a kick was and Arthur glared at him and he just smiled.

Oh, man, RocknRolla is just fantastic. HANDSOME BOB! I love it beyond all the telling of it, honestly. It's just a little bit ridiculous and a lot of fun! Plus, that may still be Maximum Hotness Tom Hardy for me. I mean, honestly. Layercake, on the other hand... MEH. Not enough THard!

LOLOL True fact, my ships have included ALL THOSE EXCEPT Harry/Snape. Alll of them. I have a shit ton of old H/D fic on my LJ I need to like... clean out because it's horrible, but, you know, what can you do?

[identity profile] tlaina.livejournal.com 2010-12-15 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
RocknRolla's next on my list after Minotaur. =D Dude, I'm wondering where I saw it spelled "L4yercake" because that just doesn't look right, now that I look at it again. O_o Weird. I watched it last night and I agree that there wasn't enough Tom (although, he looked amazing in the parts he was in) but it's such a good movie. I've actually never seen any of the new Bond films (I'm a diehard Connery fan) so it was the first thing I'd seen Daniel Craig in and oh my god. His face is slightly odd but the man can werk any outfit and those eyes are otherworldly in their blueness. O_O

Before Layercake was Stuart: A Life Backwards and that movie will just break you into tiny pieces and make you simultaneously want a hug and want to kill some people in the film (and IRL, since it's a true story). Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy are just phenomenal in that movie. Tom's nearly unintelligible at some points because of the accent he adopts and the way the drugs and stuff would've affected the guy's voice but it's still just chilling.

I don't know why I shipped Harry/Snape so hard but they were seriously my OTP for a few years. Like, I got so bored with all of the H/D "Oh, Harry, you've changed me and I will defy my father and now we are in love. ♥_♥" stories that were pretty much the only thing around at point. So I decided to read the hell out of some legit redemption arcs and really amazing Snarry darkfic. I did indulge in random fluff sometimes, though.

Dude, I don't even want people to see my old Harry Potter fanfic. It's so bad. When I was, like, 15/16 or so, I started writing a time travel AU thing where Harry at age 27 or something manages to transport his brain back in time to his 16 year old body because he needs to save Snape or Voldemort can't be defeated (actually, he only needs to save a potion ingredient from being destroyed at the time of Snape's death but w/e). He and Snape fall in love and stuff and Harry's all damaged and messed up. It ended up being a couple hundred pages, was never finished because it was so bad. Cool concept but horrible execution. I did the "Harry is basically all-fucking-powerful and can do anything" trope. v_v

I'M SORRY. I'M REALLY VERBOSE AT 5 AM.

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2010-12-16 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, man, I still haven't seen Minotaur. And I've got S:ALB but I am SO AFRAID to watch it by myself. LOL I also, um, acquired Capetown? Which from the pictures I've seen rivals RocknRolla for Maximum Hotness Tom Hardy, but ZOMG ALSO CREEPY TOMMY. Though, again, I haven't actually watched it yet. Woooe.

LOL I have a pretty hardcore power imbalance squick, so Harry/Snape never really worked for me. Like, I can do Arthur/Merlin, because, you know, MERLIN IS MAGIC. The Arthur/Eames fic where Eames forges himself at 16 and Arthur plays headmaster? Hottest thing to ever hot. But an actual student/teacher just I can't do it. I cannot. IDEK. My weird issues, let me show you allll of them. LOL

[identity profile] tlaina.livejournal.com 2010-12-16 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
I saw the first hour or so of Minotaur today (had to stop it because Boyfriend came over) and the movie is just weird. O_o Some of the effects are so bad, especially ones involving blood spatter. I cried like a baby during S:ALB. =( Um...there's nudie bits, so I wouldn't advise watching it around people who you feel awkward watching that with. For some reason, I can't watch movies with nudity or sex scenes around certain friends because it's just awkward (aka I am awkward, even though I'm really sort of not). Ooh. Want Capetown. Dude, I've been using Pirate Bay for all of this. lol

I stopped reading a lot of the stuff of them hooking up while Harry was still his student, partially because some of the plot devices used to get them together or explanations as to why Snape would get involved with a student were just bad. That fic I wrote bent my own rules a little because Harry was technically 27. I realized that I also can't really ship Will/Finn or Will/Kurt unless it's futurefic. My issues come from a logical standpoint: why the hell would Will risk his career as a teacher (which is pretty much all he has at this point) to screw a student? Also, I have issues with serious maturity level differences. Arthur and Eames have a pretty decent balance because Eames still makes sure he does his job and does it well, so there's no weirdness for me. I couldn't ship Snape/student!Harry after awhile because Harry's still a teenager, albeit a pretty mature one, and there's no way in hell that a damaged man with some seriously fucked up life experiences and a whole lot of emotional baggage would be like "Hm...I'm going to go fall in love with/shag this 16 year old who's mostly reacting to his issues by yelling at people and being emo, despite the fact that he's also saving the world and dealing with his own problems." It just feels kind of creepy and predatory now that I'm a bit older and can look at this stuff from a logical standpoint.

Logic ruins fandom for me sometimes. lol

I am still all heart-eyed over that ficlet <333333

Um. Um. Write about people waiting for the bus under the rain and cuddling under an umbrella!

Psssss. Killjoy cuddling coming your way in 3 minutes

I saw you standing in the rain...

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Eames huffs, quietly, water dripping from his ends of his hair and his lighter in his hand, flicking and flicking uselessly in the weather. It's always been more of a nervous habit than anything else anyway. It's like he forgets sometimes, how well Arthur knows him.

He's got tiny droplets of water stuck to his eyebrows, and he looks around before he'll step under the umbrella with Arthur.

It makes Arthur's fingers clench around the handle, makes him irrational and angry and almost reckless. "Eames," he says, and sighs.

But there are only so many fights he can have in a day. Only so many times he can watch Eames shuffle away. Somewhere around the corner Ariadne and Fischer are laughing, cruel like everyone's favorite jokes, and Arthur is just tired.

And maybe it works both ways, maybe he forgets sometimes how well Eames knows him, too, but Eames rubs at his mouth, soaks Arthur's shirt by pressing his wrist against Arthur's hip. He does that thing, that stupid little twist of his mouth and tilt of his head, and Arthur never stood a chance at all, not really.

"You're going to have to change before dinner," Arthur says, barely loud enough to be heard over the pounding of rain and running feet in the distance.

"Yeah," Eames says, absently, nodding. His tie is probably ruined, and Arthur's got wet socks from the puddles he had to cross to get here. But Eames doesn't step back and Arthur can't seem to make himself be the one to do it.

They just stand too close together, huddled under the same umbrella to wait out the storm like it's a decent excuse, and share a cigarette. They can be late for dinner; in this weather, no one will even notice. Eames touches Arthur's cheek, just once, and Arthur's afraid it's all he's ever going to get.

He wonders if he's ever going to stop just waiting for things to end.

I KNOW. I. KNOW. Dude, any of the pics of him and his son just make me melt because I love seeing pictures where it's totally obvious that a parent thinks their child is the greatest thing in the universe, celebrity or not. My heart grows 50,000 times every time I see a picture of him with his son, cat, or dogs, I swear. SERIOUSLY. HOW IS HE EVEN REAL?

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2010-12-16 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
GOD, I THINK MY OVARIES LEGIT EXPLODED WHEN I SAW THE PICTURES OF HIM AND HIS SON. I just, THard is the most ridiculous, but he also just wants so much to be a good father, that you kind of can't help but swoon all over the place. Like the interview where he's all "I just want to provide a good life for my son!" And the one where he's on "dad duty" because Lewis had chickenpox? Ugh. It's okay, I wasn't really using those reproductive organs anyway.

[identity profile] tlaina.livejournal.com 2010-12-16 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
I was cool until I saw the one of him and his son where the baby has his mouth latched onto the tip of Tom's nose. Then I seriously felt like my entire uterus just seized up and died from the adorable. Whenever interviewers bring up his past with drugs and stuff, I'm just like "Y U NO BRING UP BB?" because Tom always looks a little uncomfortable about the whole drugs thing (I don't blame him at all) but he gets all happy and adorbs when anyone brings up his son. If I try to have kids in the future and I'm told "Um...your ovaries seem to just be full of fluff and sunshine and happiness, so you're not going to be making babies," I'm going to know who to blame.
