Praise Jupiter, I’ve finally finished a story in this lovely little fandom.
Brass
Jupiter Ascending, Jupiter/Caine
Jupiter’s having trouble accessing Seraphi’s space bucks, so Caine takes a second job on Earth.
A story brought to you by the letters M and M and the number Channing Tatum’s hips.
Yes, this is the Jupiter Ascending story I started ( Read more... ) -

Hey, it's a list of things.
- I gave in and got a tumblr, because nobody's talking about Jupiter Ascending meta here and I want to talk about Jupiter Ascending meta, or at least read some Jupiter Ascending meta and not respond because tumblr is as confusing as all get-out. Also, I want to talk about how adorable Jupiter and Caine are together and ( Read more... ) -

...I'm pretty sure I've finally finished the first draft of something.
Not the serious Jupiter Ascending story. Not the goofy Jupiter Ascending/Leverage crossover.
15k of Caine Wise accidentally becoming a stripper. I don't know, friends. I just don't know.

So the Backstreet documentary finally came out here this weekend and we rounded up a small fangirl posse to go and see it. Super-glad I’d allowed myself to be spoiled beforehand, because I think I would’ve been wrecked by all the personal stuff if I hadn’t had the chance to mentally prepare myself first.
Or, as I said: I’d been planning on ( Read more... ) -

“So you’re a space princess,” Nate says. His voice sounds kind of dubious, because: space princess.
“Oh my god,” Hardison whispers. “Like Leia!”
Jupiter points at him. “The answer to your next question is no.”
“You don’t know what my next question is,” Hardison says.
“No, fanboy, I do not own a space princess slave outfit.”

Jupiter Ascending is kind of a mess. Dropped plot threads, shaky worldbuiding, leaden dialogue, and fight scenes so frantic it's hard to tell which side you should be cheering for. And yet. And yet...!
( There's nothing like a shirtless, eyelinered, pointy-eared man caressing some futuristic weapons as he soaks in his manpain. Also, reviews & links ) -

I really enjoyed reading everybody’s year-end round-up posts, and seeing my flist return to life!
So I wrote one myself, and now, six weeks later, am getting around to posting it. Seems about right.

Five months of pop culture, GO!
Orange is the New Black uses a typical protagonist (white, blonde, privileged) to tell stories about a bunch of non-typical characters (women of colour, bisexual/lesbian women, and a trans woman). The more I think about the season’s climax, the more I think it does the series a disservice, but the show as a whole ( Read more... ) -

I have stuff to talk about. I really should talk about it sometime.
But for now! Does anybody have a recommendation for a one-off mail forwarding service from the UK? I'd like to buy a small box boardgame from France via amazon.co.uk's online marketplace, and they're quoting me £56 to send it to Australia, which seems kind of insane when it's ( Read more... ) -

In which I watch things.
Much Ado About Nothing
I loved this. It has its flaws, of course, some of which are inherent to the original play and some of which are introduced, but I enjoyed the humanity and the sweetness it brought to what is, I suspect, my favourite Shakespeare. I had several conversations with people in the days prior that went ( Read more... )
