some way, baby, it's a part of me (apart from me)
Comment to this post, and I will list five things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.
As hoshinekoyasha asked:
+ Favorite Yuri pairing
I don't think it was ever official, but definitely Sachiko/Yumi from Maria-sama ga Miteru. I haven't watched the series in a few years, so my memory is fuzzy at best, but I enjoyed the dynamic between Sachiko and Yumi, and how - despite outward/initial appearances - they care for each other deeply.
+ Fav tv show atm
Downton Abbey. I love the costumes and the cinematography and the characters and everybody's faces and IT IS JUST A WONDERFUL SHOW THAT EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH. Also, the theme song is all kinds of amazing.
+ How you like the place where you are now
I like it. Ideally, I would be in a bigger city, but this is okay for now. And I've really enjoyed getting to meet different people from all over the globe - I'm constantly learning something new and exposing myself to new things. I'm terrible at history and social studies, but one of my friends here is very well-informed in those matters, and if I ask, he's always happy to share information with me. Because my friends are from different countries like Turkey or Spain, I learn a little bit about different cultures, too - not just German.
+ Where you want to travel next
Well, bluntsbitch is visiting soon, and we have Stuttgart and Nuremberg on the agenda - the latter will definitely be a lesson in history, I think. Am also considering a trip to Paris or at least Strasbourg for a day or two, but I think Paris will require more than just a few days. I'm also planning a trip to Dresden/Leipzig/Halle, Hamburg, and Berlin - and might go to Denmark or Poland after, so I'm excited about that. (Hopefully my work schedule will cooperate? I hope so!)
+ Where you want to return to
I don't know. I kind of want to live in San Francisco for a few years, because I have friends in the Bay Area (and also the rest of California) and it'd be nice to live in a city with some semblance of gay life (in this case, a LOT of gay life). But in general, I just want to live in a big city with lots and lots of gay events, because somehow I'm still the only person I know with like, hardly any gay/lesbian friends, and I'd like to change that. So, whether that's in the UK, Germany, or the USA, it doesn't really matter.
Also, have some fic recs!
For the first two, I've always been a fan of ever_obsessed's works (especially her Elle/Claire stuff). These fics are no different; they're beautifully-written and offer some really nice character insights. The third one is pretty self-explanatory and is simply awesome.
- again, the fall - ouat, gen, pg-13
- let it cost what it will - ouat, regina/emma, pg-13
- Rachel Berry and the Olympians - glee/percy jackson and the olympians, rachel/quinn, santana/brittany, pg-13
In other news:
- w13_femslash is holding a comment ficathon here, so go and participate!
- I don't keep up with Glee anymore, but this Brittany/Santana video is awesome (plus, the cover is done by Sam Tsui, who is AWESOME).
- I still miss Myka and H.G., so check out this video if you enjoy watching them stare at each other to dance music.
- And last but not least, some ingenious person put together Ruby/Emma (OUAT):
