IT'S REX MANNING DAY!!

[hackthis_archive]

So. Today is what day? SOUTHLAND DAY!! And how do we celebrate Southland day?

1) chicklet_girl wrote wee!Cooper in 'Army Men. You want to read it. Prepare to have your heart broken.

b) Apparently Eminem's Relapse is due to drop any goddamn day. I know one of you has it. Share with the class. Sharing is caring. And maybe worth a drabble of your chosing.

c. A small hint at my 'Why I Love John Cooper' manifesto as told to antheia

I dunno. There's this *thing* about him: he's just so resolutely strong and manly, without being an asshole – okay, he kind of is, but you know why he is the way he is, and it makes *sense*. He's honest without being placating, and he's not pretty, or even attractive to be honest, but the way he carries himself is like... it's *perfect*. He's confident without being arrogant. He's kind of broken, but not irreparably so. He's smart, but he's clearly earned his smarts, and he's so very real. You feel like he could protect you if shit went wrong, but at the end of the day you could look after him and it would all be okay. And who doesn't want that?

4. I find myself pretty much unable to do the Star Trek fandom thing. I love the new movie. Love the acting. Love the actors. But no, not quite fannish. I thought perhaps this was because what I *really* wanted to do was write Zack Quinto/Chris Pine RPS (which is called 'Pinto,' which as sparky77 pointed out is a car and not a pairing) but it would seem that all I REALLY want to do is stare at Chris Pine all day. BRING ME YOUR CHRIS PINE PHOTOS. I COMPEL YOU! (For [redacted reasons], I need the diversion). ETA: HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE BRAD PITT, serialkarma! That's sacriledge.

f) Once upon a time there was a fantabulous show called Kitchen Confidential, which FOX killed (shocking. I'm still mad about Fastlane bitches!). It had a young man named Owain Yeoman in it. Using his proper Welsh accent. Owain went on to be in what? GENERATION KILL! Yeah, that's right, it's always about GK or Southland at this point. Anyroad. Owain has now got a role on The Mentalist (which I don't watch, because I consider it a Psych rip-off). HOWEVER. Owain has evolved and apparently now looks like this . Uhhhhhhhhhhh. I'd hit that.

So, this is my take on that particular trip as I told it to sparky77

It's... Nate does it. It's an anniversary thing even though they swear they dont' observe shit like that I thought about it being in Layla-verse, their first vacation after becoming parents. But that's debateable. So, like I said, it's a Nate plan. He knows Brad's not into organized religion, but Nate loves hearing about Judaic tradition, and he thinks Brad gets a kick out of flaunting the stuff he knows that Nate doesn't. So, he gets them tickets and surprises Brad and you know, Brad actually is surprised, but he tries to pretend otherwise. The sex is on Nate's side though, since Brad pretty much pulls out all the stops since he's not sure he's going to want to be fucking all over the holy land. So they fly out and Brad's kind of Brad about it, being sort of awed, but being sarcastic about it, except for when the go to the Wailing Wall and nobody can be sarcastic about that. And then they go to this place with the mud and the mineral pools and Brad's like, so you did all of this for me? And Nate does that Nate thing, he's like it's supposed to have healing powers. And Brad's all, so I need to be healed? And Nate's like, I never said that. And Brad's like, uh, huh, are you going to sell me a magical tonic to make my dick grow next? And Nate's like I have no complaint about your dick. Which makes Brad grin and they just sort of hang out and it's very asexual but very intimate at the same time, if that makes sense, because they're doing it together and Nate did this for him, and then they go to do the mud thing, which really reminds Nate of marinating in his MOP suit, down to the squishiness between his toes, but Brad loves it, and keeps trying to smear his mud on Nate, and Nate's like "I see you with your courtship ritual, Brad" which Brad doesn't even deny. And they end up buying like five jars to take home and use at their own discretion.

::sniffs:: I'm having the day from hell, and this made me smile, which is a fucking achievement at this point. So thank you.

Brad loves it, and keeps trying to smear his mud on Nate, and Nate's like "I see you with your courtship ritual, Brad" which Brad doesn't even deny.

Aww. They're too precious. ::loves::
