162: Love Is Better Late Than Never

Feb 20, 2007 00:57

First, thank you so very much, kind anonymous gift-leaver and equally kind non-anonymous gift-leaver. (maygra, you are wonderful.) It makes me ludicrously thrilled to see the prettiness on my user info page right now ( Read more... )

Therapy Katamari! Excellent idea! You have to roll up all the shrinks and couches you can find! Points deducted for every time you roll up Freud.

Damn you, Sigmund. Father of modern psychology, my sweet ass.

Whoops! Somehow my hate for Freud has hijacked this comment. Anyway, thanks for the rec. It always makes me grin to see I've made one of your posts.

Also, obviously there would be gold busts of great therapists. And you'd start out at a size where you could only roll up psychology books.

I can even see the intro text (it'd be from the second one, of course). "Your Highness! I am a counselor, and I love Katamari Damacy. But I think you and your family need more help than one therapist can provide." "Nonsense. The King is the model of mental health! We are the standard by which others are measured!" "Your Highness, you are clearly the smartest man I have ever met." "...Smartest man...Okay. Prince, get therapists!"

I love reading your commentary on these fic so, so much, even if I'm not always in the fandom. (In this case, I am. THERAPY KATAMARI.)

Thank you! (And, yes, THERAPY KATAMARI. I cannot begin to understand why we haven't already had the opportunity to roll up as many shrinks as possible. It is a NEED for me now.)

You should write the SGA essays! Yes! :) I would read them, and probably comment profusely.

And, yes, Matter, Form, and Privation is awesome. I think the hardest thing about it, for me, was being forced into a place where I had to agree that what John did was the best solution, despite the myriad ways in which I disagreed with his actions. Holy ethical dilemma, Atlantis!

I try to leave character meta to, you know, people who actually know the canon. As in, all of the canon. But I truly do believe that John and Rodney see the Atlantis population as sheep, and themselves as sheepdogs. And that Ronon and Teyla see the earth people as adorably naive people who will inevitably learn the way the world really works, and be destroyed by it. (And they are trying to stave that day off for as long as they can.)

Holy ethical dilemma, Atlantis!

That is precisely what is so awesome about that story. Because there's just no good way out of that situation, and Domenika makes us see that there isn't, that you can only be bad or worse. It's just - if you look long enough into the abyss, the abyss looks back into you. And, really, the abyss in Pegasus is deep and horrible.

You'll have to visit Comedy Central itself for tCR-tDS clips. Viacom has completed the Great YouTube Purge of '07 (no, seriously, that's what they're calling it). From what I heard, over a billion videos were lost, including a lot of things that did not belong to Viacom (public appearances, Stephen's university speeches, etc). *awaiting legal action*

*sad*

Comedy Central, huh?

*considers whether she is ready to take this alarming plunge into a new website*

*shakes fist at Viacom, the bastards*

I second, third and fourth that recommendation for Matter, Form and Privation. Why can't miss_porcupine write for SGA? I think you should use your awesome rec-fu to find all the great authors for several fandoms and point the TV people at them, saying "Here! People! This is how you do it! We have the technology..!"

Speaking of your rec-fu, thanks for wielding it again. You make my online experience so much easier with all your effort ;)

If I could, I so totally would. Why can't I have that superpower? Curse my non-mutated genes! If only my parents had thought to expose me to toxic radio waves or radioactive TV shows, the world of entertainment would be a very different one today.

You make my online experience so much easier with all your effort ;)

Thank you!
