ah, Farscape
Why do I ship John/Scorpius so very much.
(Sam and I are watching Look at the Princess Part 1. I cannot get over Scorpius’ entrance and the hugging and the perverse almost-kiss and how John’s first words to him are It’s over, Scorpy, get another girlfriend.)
I really shouldn’t be surprised by now that I ship THE MOST MORALLY DUBIOUS PAIRING POSSIBLE.
There never was...

I’m late for work on this here Xmas eve, so instead of some of my own text, I’m going to leave you in the capable hands of my hero and close personal friend,
Spider Jerusalem.
Have a wonderful day. And be nice to the people working in stores.

Unpopular Opinions Time!
gingerskank:
Send me a number and I’ll tell you my unpopular opinion.
1. A selection of television programs you do not care for. 2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for. 3. A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about. 4. A hobby you “don’t get”. 5. A habit you find disgusting. 6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over. 7. Your...
Fail cooking. I assume should I dramatically succeed at something, I will tag it elsewise; the WITH FIRE is a sign of hilariterrible disaster.
For someone who is a decent and fairly adventurous cook, there’s been a lot of hilariterrible disaster lately!

ferminted
… well. Apparently that was not how to make mint-infused vodka. I, uh. I think I ferminted it. BLUH. Put the mint leaves in the vodka! I thought. Leave it alone for a week or two! I thought. Watch it, uh, turn … greenish-brown? Okay. Surely this is how it is supposed to go! The color is a sign of the intensity of flavor! drink it, I thought. worst plan ever tastes like: mint,...

Rose and Eridan go to the beach; everything is...
(we have reached the stage of headcanon in which we discuss INCREDIBLY STUPID SHIT)
artillie: Eridan Ampora, Noble Dolphin
byzantienne: noble ... dolphin
byzantienne: sorry, having gigglefit
artillie: wwho do you think i am lalonde
artillie: flipper
artillie: no you cant hold onto me wwhile i swwim fuck you
byzantienne: headcanon - Rose can swim well enough to not drown and that is absolutely it.
artillie: Like a puppy swims.
byzantienne: /John/ is better than she is.
artillie: John doesn't have to worry about getting water in his lungs! Rose can doggypaddle. While Eridan swims in circles around her, just to mock her.
byzantienne: I think he nearly drowns her once.
byzantienne: It's almost romantic
artillie: The way she clings to him afterwards
artillie: and then digs her fingers into his gillflaps
artillie: ~just like the first time~
byzantienne: Except they don't have sex on the beach because she is half-drowned and pissed off and /standards, Ampora/
artillie: wwhat
artillie: i took you dowwn planetside wwith me and wwere not evven gonna pail
byzantienne: You don't want to know the places in your anatomy into which I can get sand.

how to makeup, for people who never have
This is for Stasia! But also for anyone else who wants a basic makeup tutorial that starts from ‘I don’t know anything and I never wear this shit, how do I glamify when I feel like it’.
I am one of those people who wear makeup pretty much every day. Not always very dramatic makeup — that’s for Occasions! — but always a little. I’m about as femme as you...

How come there isn't a New Game+ for undergrad?
‘cause I like my scores from the first time around but there is a lot of treasure I missed collecting.
(Things I should have done at age 18: a proper Classics degree, instead of the minor I actually got; also, major in Chinese; also also, learn Uighur; also also also, comp lit; also also also also, an actual decent grounding in material culture methodology.)

this is actually why I do what I do
historicity-was-already-taken:
“Historians are dangerous people, capable of turning everything topsy-turvy. They have to be watched.” -Nikita Khrushchev
In Soviet Russia, history watches you.
keep hold of your narrative memory, folks. This world can be a bumpy ride and you wouldn’t want to have it slip through your fingers.

Who doesn’t want to know the Homestuck Title they would have in the game?
This is something I’ve been creating for a long time, and finally got to a place where I feel like the test is pretty solid.
The Test is 3 parts long.
Your title is based off your enneagram type and wing. You can take the test here(first test/button):...

stories I've never written meme
I’ve got an afternoon full of last-classes-of-the-semester, I’m desultorily poking at my Yuletide canon, and I keep having flights-of-fancy headcanon moments at weird Homestuck pairings.
It is obviously time for a meme.
In my askbox, tell me about a story I’ve never written, and I’ll write a few sentences from it!

Signs I am irreversibly in a fandom: character...
We’re lost, my friends; the water is coming in over the sides and there is no hope of salvation — I am so into Homestuck that I got up this morning and decided the only appropriate course of action was to paint my nails as inspired by Sollux Captor.
Like so:
(Colors used: base colors are OPI Malaga Wine and Sally Hansen Navy Baby, two coats each; overcolor crackle is Sephora/OPI...

shades of fandoms past
An old friend of mine has just proposed we go to Dragon*Con and cosplay the characters we were playing in the RP where we met. In 2004.
This means the following:
fuck yeah In Nomine, I will never quite be done with that fandom, even though I haven’t touched the actual game in years now, I still have reams and reams of headcanon for it, let me tell you about the Halls of Loyalty
