The last day or so has been very emotionally draining on me, so you know, I AM NOT AT MY BEST.

I do not have a Dreamwidth account. I do not plan on opening one any time in the forseeable future. If there is a hackthis over there, it is not me. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY SUBSTITUTES! ;)

Also, I don't want to talk about Southland last night as the whole thing just drained the hell out of me.

We had to go through all the emotional horror AND THERE WAS NO COOPER?! The hell, people? You cannot upset the hell out of me right before I'm supposed to go to bed and THEN NOT GIVE ME ANY COOPER. I'd been waiting a whole fucking week and then you ripped my guts out, while reinforcing that:

A) REGINA KING FOR THE MOTHER FUCKING WIN
b) Her partner is a douchebag
c) Shawn Hatosy is a... what the hell is the problem there? Excuse me, what ISN'T the problem there. I do not understand why he's married to that woman. She's a nut job. I assume this is all about the sex whammy, which let me tell you, when you come out of the fog? WORST THING EVER.
d) PLEASE TO SEE 'A'
E) And what the fuck is up with Adams' partner, he's clearly a serial cheat, his wife is clearly tired of his shit. Ever heard of a divorce people? They made me miserable just looking at them

I RESENT GOING THROUGH ALL THAT AND NOT GETTING ANY COOPER. I'm just saying.



I need Cooper hugs. And Walsh hugs. And Ray-Ray hugs.

Can a girl just get a hug, already? Or something happy? Fuck. Tell me a joke. Sing me a song. Show me something amusing. I needs it. Man, do I need it.

I haven't seen last night's ep, so thank you for the warning. What were they thinking not having Cooper last night? *shakes head*

Would a picture of our favourite hacker help? Have some Aldis and CK (http://community.livejournal.com/provideleverage/131274.html) on set for Leverage S2.

There is also skywardprodigal's pretty men of colour post (http://skywardprodigal.livejournal.com/753956.html) that never ceases to make me happy. Plus it comes with links to more pretty.

If all else fails, there is sexy Stephen in my icon, just for you. *hugs*

("Is this too tasteless?" I thought, and then decided, "nah.")

Actually, it originated out of a similar conversation I overheard in Starbucks once, and I've been hoarding it for the perfect fandom since. :D

[mydocuments.livejournal.com]

"Is this too tasteless?" In GK, there is no such thing. =D

[thorne-scratch.livejournal.com]

Dude, it is a really freaking dumb-ass AU. (And yet it seems to gain a page every time I'm not looking. This is karmic paypack for all the pestering for the high school AU, because when I outline it, it is very obviously going to be one of those freaking 50k word ones instead of a quickie behind the humvee.)

See, one of the things I both love and despair about the GK fandom is that it is tiny but on the whole, very good. So, shoving a retarded AU where they're all working for a porn studio (see re: dumb-assness) out there is kind of scary.

Anyway, man, I'll finish it and it will show up one of these days, and you're going to be the very first one blamed and thanked in the header notes because it is really all because of you. ^^

[thorne-scratch.livejournal.com]

I know! It's like, "oh wait, there's Ray."

Doll, I am going to rock your world, but I need to do it via e-mail. Can you send me a quick note to trueblueism at aol dot com? I promise this will lift your mood ASAP!!!!

I, too, was disappointed by the lack of Cooper/Sherman. Seriously, them and the lady cop and Regina King are the only ppl I'm interested in. Oh and the partner dude of the detective w/ the crazy wife, because he has a kid on the way and obviously loves his wife very much. But yeah, everyone else can kind of go away now.

[I got bad vibes from Adams' partner from the start (and he was barely even in that first episode), and I'm weirdly glad to see that I was right to think he was sketchy. UGH.]

Also, if someone happened to accidentally kill Dewey, I would not object.

Now I must investigate the various GK ficlets that have been posted as replies to your entry...

So, shoving a retarded AU where they're all working for a porn studio (see re: dumb-assness) out there is kind of scary.

No, no, don't be scared. I'm just going to speak on behalf of everyone in GK fandom and say that any sort of cracktastic AU, no matter how random or weird, is greatly appreciated. We're open to everything.

In conclusion, that whole thing you just wrote was excellent and if it's any indication what the rest of your epic fic is like, you needn't be worried.

ETA: Do I sound too eager? I'm trying not to, lol :)

If it helps, Southland got renewed. That's a whole 'nother season of Cooper being awesome. And hopefully, at least part of that season deals with Shawn Hatosy's character getting divorced.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yes, Brad is pretty. You are very right.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Also, I don't think I'd realised how much I watch the show for Cooper's awesomeness until I kept thinking "oh good, Cooper's here" every time that a black and white car pulled into shot.

You too?!

dude on c) the salesman totally conned him by saying oh this is henri cartier bresson's favorite camera. anyone in photo business knows that his favorite camera is the leica which is 35 mm. Hassy is medium format. um. yeah.

*chuckles* Having some research issues? And yes, we all know expensive shoes/camera/toys make you better, but sometimes it's all psychoglogical.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

HARDISON!

THE ALL BLACKS! (That men of color post was like ...!!!!!! !!!!) <- sadly, there is no mark to show extreme excitement beyond multiple exclamation points, but rest assured, if there were, I'd be using it.

Oh, Stephen, you make my life so much better just be existing.

The lack of Cooper was just... it was so hard.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have e-mailed. I await world rockage. Does it involve Nate naked? Brad naked? *ponders* Brad AND Nate naked? You're not on Southland yet so I can't assume it involves naked Ben and Cooper... I WANNA KNOW!!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I SAW! I SAW! I hope to write something celebratory next week.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

So, we are all in agreement, the Cooper, Sherman, Adams and Moretta show goes forward and everybody else gets sacked. So say we all!

[lula-q.livejournal.com]

Celebratory like Cooper getting naked? Or celebratory like Bryant taking the dog, returning the camera, and getting divorced? 'Cuz either one would be awesome.

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

Sent! Sent!

I want to write a sternly worded letter to NBC and be like:

Dear NBC,

Since you've decided to kill off an hour of original programming each day next season (and are giving it to that hack comedian), we the viewing public would like you to dramatically alter the cast of Southland so that all objectionable characters and storylines cease forthwith. If we're getting less good TV next season, we'd prefer the TV we were getting was 100% awesome all the time. Thank you.

Yours Sincerely, Your Dwindling Viewership

P.S. And whomever told you (as you stated in your new commercial) that we wanted more "comedy" on NBC, and then interpreted that to mean we wanted an hour of Leno instead of our regular teevees, was SORELY MISTAKEN. Please fire this person. Thank you.

[draconic-voices.livejournal.com]

It was like a pavlovian response by the end of the show, *head up* "what, what, where? ...damn"

WORD!

Brad grabs Nate's tie and pulls, tugging him the few steps closer that eliminates the space between them. Nate's suit is nothing like the suit he left in - no longer pressed and precise, but rumpled and wrinkled from yet another rally, another long train ride. "You look tired."

"Does that mean you're going to tuck me into bed?"

"Not exactly." He runs his fingers along the stretch of silk fabric then curves one finger into the loosened knot, easing it out, letting the material slide along itself until it comes apart, hanging on either side of Nate's neck, vibrant greens and blues against his white shirt. He unbuttons Nate's shirt slowly, fingers grazing the skin he bares before sliding down to the next button.

Nate shivers slightly, his eyes drifting closed. "Then what are you going to do with me?"

"Some surprises are good, Nate." Brad's fingers splay on Nate's lower stomach then slide up, pushing Nate's shirt off of him. "I'm afraid you're just going to have to trust me."

"Trust you, huh?" Nate lets his head fall back as Brad's hands slide up his arms and shoulders, making slow trails along Nate's neck. "And why should I do that?"

"Because-" Brad purrs softly as he moves in, his teeth grazing Nate's jaw. He backs him up, hands sliding down to unfasten Nate's belt as they move toward the bedroom. "I've never steered you wrong."

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, Nate and Brad. I know I am spending all my time with my new shiny toy right now, but I still love you both heaps and bounds. Plus, nobody looks as good naked as you guys do.

*squishes L*

THANK YOU!

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

They do look insanely good while naked. I also meant to tell you that you could actually *request* a scenario and I'd write that for you too. Because that's how I roll.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

RILLY?! I admit I would not say more to rumpled suit Nate... or Sunday morning lazy sex... or possibly the fact that Brad's an amazing cook, but that he hasn't had anybody to cook for in forever, so he eats mostly shit and then Nate comes to vist and he's like Julia Childs as a Marine. You know, just something happy would be nice. If they're happy, I'd be happy. Hell, they could do something as simple as going to the beach and Brad putting a towel on a sleeping Nate so he doesn't get sunburn.
