[fannish brain dump]

[hackthis_archive]

We all know I'm a fannish raccoon. If it's shiny to me, I will write about it until I find another piece of foil. Doesn't matter if it's brand-spanking (have I done a spanking fic? Wait, digression!) new or hanging out in the garbage. My current lust is the Olympics. Yeah, I know they over. In fact, let's have a brain dump about this:

1. So far we have i. The Golden Rule and ii. The One Chair Rule of Heterosexuality. I didn't think they were going to be connected, but now I think it's going to be a trilogy. Maybe I'll call it 'I'll Be on the Water' after the Akron and the Family song.

1a. I haz no more Olympics. This is causing me all kinds of withdrawl issues.

1b. This has not seemed to stop my desire to write Michael Phelps/Ryan Lochte. It's kind of scary. I would apologize to sparky77, serialkarma, antheia and alethialia for my nonstop babble, but, I don't see much hardship in 'Oh look, I haz pictures of (mostly) naked men! Let me show you them!'

1c. People, come and talk to me about Gainesville, Florida. (Stop doing the victory dance alethialia). Tell me what typical houses are like. One level or two? Layouts? Pools? Where do people skateboard? What's the weather like? Where's the best cheap food? What do you do at three a.m.? How far from the beach? Where would you go to hear live music and *not* be seen? How long does it take to get to Daytona if you're commuting to your swim club? What's the airport like? What are the town quirks? Random factoids? I'm assuming a lot of Ryan's life (including his home) is near the university. what's that neighborhood like? I'd rather you tell me more than less, so I have things to choose from.

1d. sparky77 loves me a lot.

1e. While we're on the subject of the Olympics. I've been trying not to get all fandom involved, BUT, I highly recommend reading the following three stories:

* four times ryan watched michael touch other swimmers by lifescript. a story about jealousy and observation and boys doing that crap they do.

* right at home by canarycreams, where Michael and Ryan go to Puerto Rico and swim. And smoke some weed. And have some sex. And you laugh your ass off the entire time.

* Scaly Dicks by thorne_scrach, which is a WIP (but really does work on its own) about Michael waking up with scales on his dick. No, I couldn't even make that one up. She also wrote about Michael's mom marrying Ian Thorpe. I kind of died.

1f. What the fuck is up with Ryan and lizards and snakes? Does he have a fear of them, because I've read at least two stories where he was woken up suddenly and was like 'no snakes!'


2. I have seen 'Bomb in the Garden' (1.07 Generation Kill), but I can't talk about it yet, because that would be admitting that there is no more coming and that makes the baby Ari really fucking depressed. FYI: There is a buy one get one 1/2 price sale happening at HBO.com, too, so, if you buy some stuff...

3. I've been given to undestand that the only three network shows I watch (Chuck, Gossip Girl and The Sarah Connor Chronicles) are going to be on a the same fucking time (Mon, 8p). Way to fail networks!

I think it's going to be a trilogy. Maybe I'll call it 'I'll Be on the Water' after the Akron and the Family song.

Fuck, yeah! (Also, that link ain't workin' for me. ::pokes it:: Nope. Getting a 404 error.)

I don't see much hardship in 'Oh look, I haz pictures of (mostly) naked men! Let me show you them!'

No, no apologies necessary. Though, porn...I wouldn't object to that.

People, come and talk to me about Gainesville, Florida. (Stop doing the victory dance [info]alethialia).

Please, you know you like it. ::does happy dance:: Also? LOVE the questions.

I have nothing to offer you except moral support. Also, I'm writing Australian GK porn, but that's not done yet.

Ooh, ooh, love those stories. I'd read the first two, but not the third...so I read that and promptly died.

Ryan complaining loudly about not seeing sharks for most of it, and making repeated references to flogging the dolphin when he wasn't.

::dies some more::

Oh, wait. I have something for you! Nathaniel Fick to speak at the DNC on Thursday in Primetime. Pet. Theory!!! I so win, is all.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

a) Song link fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

b) I've done some preliminary research on Gainesville (I have some mental notes), but I would really like a ground's eye view. Even if it's little things like the grass is always brown or the trash gets picked up on Wednesday.

c) GK PRON!

d) I'm glad you liked the stories! I've been trying to stay away from other people's stuff, because I don't want it clouding my characterizations, but when I thought I was done, before somebody was all SHOWER SEX! I had to see what else was happening in the world.

e) Nate's going to be at the DNC? But... but... Bill's speaking tonight. And I have to go running! And and... oh, poo, fine.

I've been trying to stay away from other people's stuff, because I don't want it clouding my characterizations, but when I thought I was done, before somebody was all SHOWER SEX! I had to see what else was happening in the world.

Psha, shower sex is, like, good for the WORLD. Obviously that unknown person was doing you a FAVOR.

As for the rest of the stories...when it comes to the boys writers are all, like, serious and holds-hands-y and shit. I just kinda scratch my head and think, 'wha?' 'Tis very weird.

But... but... Bill's speaking tonight. And I have to go running! And and... oh, poo, fine.

Well, Nate's speaking tomorrow night so you can space it out. Though I'm sure someone'll have a link if you don't want to watch real-time.

Off to read more about Aussie military slang. To wit: He copped a beasting off the Sergeant Major. It doesn't mean what you think it means!

Oh my god. Dude, I don't.. and it's like, what? The stories I recommended really stood out to me because it was boys being boys and not being all... well, girls. I actually got a lot of people saying 'I wish they'd kissed' (including you, missy) but sort of understanding why it didn't happen. One of the reasons I'm doing a wrap-up is that I want to point out that kissing can be really intimate, but you can fuck anybody.

For some reason I thought today was Thursday, dude, wait. NATE'S SPEAKING BEFORE BARACK? Do you realize how huge that is? Holy shit! I hope he realizes how huge that is. Holy shit!

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Dude, I don't.. and it's like, what?

Yes, that's it exactly.

The stories I recommended really stood out to me because it was boys being boys and not being all... well, girls.

::nods::

I actually got a lot of people saying 'I wish they'd kissed' (including you, missy)

Yes, but here's my defense: a) they don't kiss 'cause that's too intimate, but it seems like they're already past the point where it's fuck-buddy fun and games and doesn't mean anything so, imo, pointless denials are stupid. I want them to, like, abuse each other's mouths not hold hands and shit. Or get MARRIED. And b) It's hot.

...what? I never said I don't embrace the shallow.

NATE'S SPEAKING BEFORE BARACK? Do you realize how huge that is? Holy shit! I hope he realizes how huge that is. Holy shit!

I do, indeed. Politics, my friend. My pet theory is, like, REALITY.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

And in my defense I say a) boys. Who ever said they were logical? b) just because you know it and I know it doesn't mean *they* know it. c) what, no gay marriage in California? You are way harsh. [wheezes] d) If you keep talking about mouth abuse and shower hand jobs you're totally going to spoil yourself for #3, just saying.

I would like to say, in pimp-mode for #3, they are hot. Like smoking hot. Like just visualizing it is making me warm. I may not be able to write it because I can't stop thinking about it.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

in my defense

Dude! You don't need a defense! You rock! I swear I'm not, like, complaining or whatever. More like...making fun of them like they're real people (err, okay, real people who actually did this) because you write them JUST THAT WELL.

I totally just got paranoid that I'm coming off, you know, critical. Which I don't mean to! They're just that stupidly real that I mock them for being stupid...which is good!

Okay, now I'm just confusing myself. In summation: you rock, boys are dumb, yay.

just because you know it and I know it doesn't mean *they* know it.

Yes, like that.

what, no gay marriage in California? You are way harsh. [wheezes]

Hee! Or Vermont! Or...Massachusetts? Is MA terribly far from Baltimore? Come on, now...

If you keep talking about mouth abuse and shower hand jobs you're totally going to spoil yourself for #3, just saying.

Eeee! Oh, happy day!

in pimp-mode for #3,

Um, hi, am there. No pimping required. No shame 'round these parts, nope, not me.

they are hot. Like smoking hot. Like just visualizing it is making me warm. I may not be able to write it because I can't stop thinking about it.

You TEASE! And - and...this 'may not' stuff makes baby Jesus CRY. For which you should feel BAD. And therefore write as quickly as possible.

Um, right. Off to find my dignity and all.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Awww, sweetie, I was totally just messing with you. And fear not, there will be a part three, I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row first. :)

Don't cry, Baby Jesus!

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

I am easily played, 'tis true. And yet you've no idea how freakin' HAPPY this makes me.

Nope, no crying. 'There's no crying in baseball!' Sheesh.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I am doing srs research, dude. Just look at the comments in this post.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

I have been looking! You snap your fingers and people come and give you things! It's awesome!

And I love this picture, too. There seemed to be one specific photographer who was GREAT at getting them in these shockingly intimate moments. Or was just artistic enough to make it seem so. Or something. It makes icon-making so very much fun...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have been looking! You snap your fingers and people come and give you things! It's awesome!

*snaps fingers* *Looks around for naked Brad and Nate.* *sees nothing* You lied to me! Seriously though I am eternally grateful to the people who read my journal and who answer my questions and try to help me out. People don't have to be helpful, so I'm always very touched when they are.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

*snaps fingers* *Looks around for naked Brad and Nate.* *sees nothing* You lied to me!

Hey, I've got, like, 10 pages of porn that says you're wrong. They just...haven't finished yet. Heh.

This is why fandom is love. LOVE!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

They haven't finished yet. Well, I am loathe to rush them. Really. [is so lying]

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

They are making USE of their one-night-stand. ::coughs:: 'Cause it's the only time EVER. And, ya know, if you had Nate Fick for one night, wouldn't you put him through his paces?

Right. That's what I thought.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't I want to put him through his paces? Dude. You don't even want to give me that option. He'd have to be wheeled away the next day. Everything in the house would be wrecked.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Also, your icon is one of my favorite photos of them.
