proof that even though i no longer write, fandom always eats my brain.
th: BECAUSE I AM MAD FOR THAT MOVIE/FANDOM
me: i watched it
and i loved it
so much
i really did
and um, ok
fair warning?
i TOTALLY BELIEVE he got back to reality
like i know it's meant to be subjective or interpretative or whatthefuckever
BUT I BELIEVE IN MY SOUL
th: it' not even SLASHY, although of course i'll read it, but there's a case for almost all pairings. i like the subtextual or friendshippy or whatever else + sort of dynamimcs
me: that he got his happy ending, ok
oh um
i actually felt that
in retrospect
eames and arthur
felt like exes XD
a little
like if i were to make up a backstory for them
it would be where
they'd worked together before?
and somehow
BY EAMES' AMAZING POWERS
he'd gotten arthur to fool around a little with him
and arthur never forgave him for that
th: YES i can see that
me: and so in the movie
they know each other
but there's a tiny edge of tension
less hidden on arthur's side
and uh, after the movie
there's of course later on massive sex
because
arthur sort of has a crush on ariadne
except that she
is kind of obsessed with cobb
and eames in the meanwhile
is sort of reluctantly pining for arthur
despite the fact that he's such an uptight little bastard
or maybe because?
and he knows that arthur is forever and ever point man because he can't bear, CANNOT BEAR to let people down
th: al;dkjfa;ldfjl;dfjadl;fjdfl;kj
me: to fail them
th: I CAN SEE ALL OF THIS
me: and this is why he's so careful about whom he lets in, because he has to add them to his list of people to protect
even if he doesn't admit he has one
th: THIS IS WHAT I MEAN, I THINK THEY'RE ALL PINING OR HOWEVER ELSE INTERTWINED WITH EACH OTHER
IT'S ALL MESSY AND ROUNDABOUT
me: and eames would be too hard to protect
he's not careful
he's flamboyant
he dreams big

th: akiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
are you SURE you're not writing?
*squints *
because this should be put down
:D
Chrissie: WHY AKI
WHY CAN'T WOW AND LINEAGE 2 HAVE A BABY
me: XDDDD
good game play
meets pretty characters?
Chrissie: YES PLEASE
me: GAMESLASH
wow, the popular fratboy with his universal appeal
and slightly scruffy looks
meets the frigid, art student L2
Chrissie: ahahahaHAHAAHA
oh my god
write this, write this
Sent at 4:33 AM on Tuesday
me: i never PLAYED l2 XD
but it would be funny, no?
Chrissie: definitely XD
me: L2 thinks WoW is a jerk, dumbed down for the masses, has no taste
WoW thinks L2 is a stuckup snob who wears too much black (but is oh so pretty)
Sent at 4:38 AM on Tuesday
Chrissie: not just black, but clothes that are THE OPPOSITE OF SENSIBLE
watching this chick fight in 10-inch heels
and the dark elf males -- in full plate, mind you -- left their THIGHS AND BUTTOCKS BARE so that you could SEE THEIR THONGS
gah, the crazy art design
and oh, L2 is one of those really diligent students
spends a lot of time practicing! nose stuck in books! listens intently in classes!
while wow just parties all day but gets good grades anyway
Sent at 4:42 AM on Tuesday
Chrissie's new status message - i miss L2 :( 4:44 AM
me: also
L2
is really fucking gay
like
so very gay
that normally guys like WoW
beat him up?
and you know
made him so miserably in high school
that in revenge he became EVEN GAYER
and he's not even a queen
because he's too quiet for that
but he's just like
very obviously not interested in vaginas XD
L2 WEARS EYELINER, BUT LOOKS GOOD IN IT
L2 is what WoW's friends would generally refer to as an emo-fag, and they would be HALF RIGHT
L2 hates WoW for a lot of things
but...
what L2 hates WoW for most
is that...secretly
deep
deep
down
underneath the unreasonable clothing
and the artistic ambitious
L2 wishes that he had been a little bit more like WoW
and barring that
that WoW would totally sleep with him
(he thinks in a twisted way that this would help him get WoW out of his system)
(but actually it totally wouldn't, because WoW would be kind of good in bed, and thus make everything even worse.)
WoW listens to like
top 40s
BUT
has a secretly geeky collection of DVDs
that L2 doesn't find out about until much later
and WoW is belligerently not ashamed of them
"What? Monty Python is a fuckin' classic."
"hitchhiker's guide?"
"also classic."
Chrissie: <3
wow's the guy you just can't hate
me: yes
Chrissie: the guy you just can't LEAVE
me: even though you TRY TO
because he has enough innate virtue
Chrissie: yessss
me: that you keep on coming back
even though he compromises
EVERYTHING you think you believe in
also
he dresses TERRIBLY
Chrissie: it shames you a bit to be seen with him in public
me: though
Chrissie: sometimes you try very hard to just not look at him
me: not as much as you think it shames him
(even though actually, it doesn't really)
Chrissie: XDDD
me: sometime, afterwards, when you're lying in bed together and just being quiet
in a way you didn't think would be possible with someone who talked as much as WoW
he asks you why you wear so much black
and you tell him it's because no one ever understood you
and it sounds horribly stupid even to you
and then he says, "well i don't really understand you either" and you squeeze your eyes shut
and then he adds, "but i think you look fucking hot in black, so."
you have fights.
you fight over pets
because WoW thinks pets are supposed to be like normal things, like DOGS
and you have a snake you talk to
and a fish tank
that is empty.
it represents the sum total of all the fish you could have kept and may keep still, you tell him with your best ironical look.
it's a fucking empty fishtank and you're just too lazy to throw it out, he counters.
WoW has never read poetry in his ENTIRE LIFE.
not even e.e.cummings.
not even SHEL SILVERSTEIN.
you read him something by neruda and he says that is sounds incredibly gay.
you point out that this is not really a valid statement, given that you just finished blowing him, and he explains, "well, yeah, it sounds like something you'd like to say."
and you can't decide whether or not to be utterly enraged or bizarrely flattered.
Chrissie: XDDDDDDD
me: you weigh about 125 pounds, soaking wet.
WoW goes to the gym.
XD
Chrissie: gah, he totally does
he thinks the epitome of male beauty is like
those wrestling guys
me: WoW is secretly really ashamed of the fact
that one of his girlfriends once said he had pretty eyes.
Chrissie: (i was going to say arnold schwarzenegger in terminator, but i think he was actually built quite nicely then)
me: WoW drinks beer. you pretend to like wine. secretly you actually have a thing for really cheap vodka.
Sent at 5:01 AM on Tuesday
me: things are occasionally strained because you are actually sometimes embarrassed by how attracted you are to him, and whereas WoW swaggers like a pimp outside he's actually somewhat conservative in his tastes.
whereas you would light up like a christmas tree if he mentioned sex toys.
Sent at 5:03 AM on Tuesday
me: deep deep down inside
WoW and L2 are afraid that they will break each other
that they are too incompatible
but day to day sometimes they forget this
because as it turns out
Chrissie's new status message - this needs to end in mpreg 5:05 AM
me: they are frustrated by the same thing--how fundamentally stupid other people can be
AND THEN THEY GET DRUNK AND FORGET TO USE PROTECTION AND THEN BOOM
RAGNAROK EMPIRES IS BORN
Chrissie: XDDDDDDDDDD
me: chrissie
do you think thien is right
and we are kind of crazy.
Chrissie: no
i think she is kind of crazy! we are eminently sane
the world can only be improved by the love child of wow and l2
Sent at 5:07 AM on Tuesday
Chrissie: aki, i am SO SERIOUS >_> i would buy that game in a heartbeat
me: oh, not only you
prolly most female gamers
and the male ones would follow them XD
and i would have to buy a laptop with, you know, an ACTUAL GRAPHICS CARD
Chrissie: don't worry, by the time that game comes out i'm sure we'll both be staid middle-aged women with nice fat bank accounts
me: ....we'll be middle-aged and staid maybe
THE BANK ACCOUNTS
ARE WISHFUL THINKING ON MY PART
Chrissie: xDDD
me: omg seriously
NEW OTP
WoW/L2 forever
Chrissie: yes!!!
me: WoW is totally the seme
btw
he can't help himself XD
Chrissie: oh, yeah
Sent at 5:11 AM on Tuesday
me: like
they try once
because L2 gets snotty about it
and then at the very last minute
WoW is just like omfg i can't do this.
and flips them over and then they both feel totally relieved XD
Chrissie: XDDDD
chatficcing is so much fun. i could never give it up, no matter HOW dry the creative wellsprings ran. it is all the joy of creation without any of the tedium of composition, and best of all, it is like giggling under the sleeping bag with your best friend.
T_T pedestrian_zone-tachi, i miss you! CHRISSIE NEVER LEAVE ME, NOT EVER.
