I feel a response to the season premiere of Supernatural is called for.

( and let loose the hounds of war )

Timing, you. Just finished watching it. So not invested in the show anymore, shall have to wait and see if it comes back sometime this season. Meh.

sandra_lanimil October 5 2007, 13:20:36 UTC

I just finished, too. They can turn it around, I think, but they have to work for it.

To me it felt like just another episode, and a filler ep at that. It's difficult to top In My Time Of Dying. We shall seeeeee.

... Blond chick's Super Blade Of Awesome Demon Killingness made me want to cringe so bad.

I already said what I thought at some lenght. Ruby seemed very much like The Breasts That Get The Guys To Look. I don't mind sexualisation, but I mind when it's done unintelligently. Next ep is Sera Gamble, though. Ought to be better.

Judging from my flist, your opinion is a minority one. :\ Mrph. I don't watch it anyway, but my flist is full of capslocky squeeing which is making me vaguely nauseous. Apparently fangirls don't mind being talked down to...?

sandra_lanimil October 5 2007, 17:30:18 UTC

Most SPN fangirls tend to be too busy cooing over either or both of the boys to care much about anything else. And hey, sex sells, we know it does. I just find it disappointing that I show I know can be really good chooses not to be.

acidpop25 October 5 2007, 17:55:57 UTC

I have noticed that tendency, yes. Mrph.

The gods are smiling on me today, my hated lit class was cancelled. ^_____^

I wonder what the catch is.

sandra_lanimil October 5 2007, 18:06:49 UTC

Doesn't have to be a catch, darling. <3

acidpop25 October 5 2007, 18:25:10 UTC

...oh, but I found it. The homework for next class is hell.

Lover, you knew you had to let me go. acidpop25 October 6 2007, 04:24:26 UTC

Aislinn glances up when the door swings open; it is Tracey, padding into the dorm with soft, light steps. "He left," she murmurs softly, "by himself." She says nothing further, though, or not right then, just sits down on the edge of her own bed and looses her hair with a deft motion, setting it free of the tight knot she habitually wore it in to let it tumble down over her shoulders, then unknots her tie and hangs it over the bedpost. for a moment, there is silence ( ... )

Re: Lover, you knew you had to let me go. sandra_lanimil October 6 2007, 10:32:58 UTC

Aw, Ais. Sigh. We have to do something with them. I had this totally random idea about a class trip to somewhere in Italy, maybe everyone goes rght after the end of 7th year or something, no idea where that came from.

Re: Lover, you knew you had to let me go. acidpop25 October 6 2007, 14:09:57 UTC

That is random, yes, but t sounds sort of fun. ^^

Re: Lover, you knew you had to let me go. acidpop25 October 6 2007, 14:24:09 UTC

Maybe the Slytherins decided it would be a good idea to make themselves scarce after the war and take a break before starting to get jobs, in in one go, so they're just like la, let us flit about Europe for a while.

With all that I am. acidpop25 October 6 2007, 04:50:45 UTC

A few days later.He doesn't know if it was deliberate on her part of not, but Blaise can hear the unmistakable sound of a piano through the door of the Room of Requirement. He hasn't seen her save for in classes in days and has not sought her out, but he is pushing the door open before he even thinks about it, stepping inside. It is not a song he knows; it is not a song like anything he has ever heard before, a beautiful, complicated melody full of crashing power and tension, building under her fingers to a fever pitch, the sound every bit as wildly passionate as her playing (for Aislinn leans into every note, and the look on her face is not so different at all from ecstasy) until it seems to shatter the very air on a long, lingering chord that fills the whole room, and Aislinn's voice joins the sound, words in Welsh that he does not understand twining their way into the music as the melody slows, resolving itself into warmer sounds and gentler notes, and Aislinn's clear, lilting voice above it all. Blaise does not know the words, but ( ... )

Re: With all that I am. acidpop25 October 6 2007, 05:00:43 UTC

I doubt this description can do it justice. Just. It's shatteringly beautiful. And of course, lest there was any question, it's his song. It's also the best thing Aislinn has ever written. (That, she says, is a reflection on her subject). She just. Idek, I hadn't realised she had fallen quite this hard, but she really, really has.

I'm not sure if she ever intended to actually play that for him (and she hasn't in its entirety, since he missed the beginning), but, moot point now.

Re: With all that I am. sandra_lanimil October 6 2007, 10:55:50 UTC

It's odd that Blaise never got paired with an artist before; it moves him profoundly. Not so much the art in and off itself as witnessing the creation of it, the human aspect, the expression. Feeling it happen.

You know, I have no idea what happens after this. He is ... rather stunned, to be honest.

Re: With all that I am. acidpop25 October 6 2007, 14:22:37 UTC

If you don't count that brief backstory with Q Graham. But yes, I definitely get that vibe with Aislinn... and Ais has a very particular, intense passion in her work that comes across very powerfully at times (like here). And music is her first love, artisticly speaking, of that there's no question.

...kinda why I didn't write any further. I had no clue.
