Random fannishness

1. My dog looks just like Jon Snow (whom you can see in the thumbnail of the video I embedded below). I just realized this today.

2. Loki (in Thor, the movie): "You could have told me from the beginning -- why didn't you?!" But Loki, then you would have just been Theon Greyjoy. You can't escape the crazy

I reading fanfic until five am do

This is EXACTLY what happened to me the other day after discovering the Sheldon/Penny pairing community due to marathoning The Big Bang Theory...I can't decide if this is good or bad yet.

Ironically while I adore Loki with all my heart, I can't stand Theon. Considering they're very alike in certain ways I'm not sure why this is. But Game of Thrones FTW. Awesome show is very awesome.

I still haven't watched the Big Bang. I probably should, it seems worth looking into at least. But yeah, I have had so many pairings just grab me out of nowhere like that, and it's always crazy. I generally just accept it with an attitude of, "Well, I guess I'll just ride this out... Hopefully in a few days (...or months, depending) I'll return to sanity and productivity."

I agree about Loki and Theon, although I wouldn't go so far as to say that I can't stand Theon... I think. I mean, he is despicable, but I also see his raging insecurity and confusion and rather loose grip on sanity and I do find all that compelling. The different between them might be, in part anyway, that Loki's got this dignity, this sense of mastery to him, even in his brokenness, whereas Theon is, at his core, just... a stupid boy. Somebody that, even at his best, even if his life hadn't been so fucked, would probably still be kind of a tool and somebody that I wouldn't necessarily want to hang out with.
