Like the blind man, in the dark room, looking for the black cat... that isn't there

While in conversation with [livejournal.com profile] lazlet and [livejournal.com profile] maurheti about the second episode of Doctor Who featuring Eleven something profound occurred to me:

The sonic screwdriver looks like a penis.


So, basically, Doctor Who is a show about a white man that goes around the universe saving various inhabitants with his giant glowing penis.

I'll repeat that: Doctor Who is a show a man created about another man and his healing cock.

THEY MADE A SHOW ABOUT THIS AND IT GOT ON THE AIR?!

Oh, wait, that's like the story of colonization history, innit?

(Poke would fucking love this shit.)




Also, I saw The Losers the other day and my thoughts can be summed up like so:


Clay + Roque = HOTASS ANGRY SEX (Obviously before Roque turned on the team) (I would like to read about this immediately)

Clay + Aisha = HOTASS ANGRY SEX (that I would like to read about immediately)

Jensen + Pooch = adorable hetero-lifemates (that I would like to read about immediately)

Is anybody gonna write this stuff? PLEASE?!




In other news... anybody got a story that they'd like to recommend to me that they think I might like? The last time I wanted something with lots of explosions and violence and was forced to write my own, I am not trying to go down that road again.




I was thinking the other day about my past fandoms (there are quite a few) and how far I've come with my writing. There are a few stories that after all this time I still quite like. They're not going to change anybody's world, but I'm still really happy to have written:

1. Square One. Smallville. Written during Lex's time at Belle Reeve in S2. This story was like pulling fingernails out while I wrote it, but I still think well of it six years later.

2. I See Monsters (That's When I Reach for my Revolver) a Neville/Theodore story based on the video viðrar vel til loftárása by Sigur Ros. Five years later I still have soft spot for this pairing, especially since Matthew Lewis has turned out to be nineteen thousand times hotter than Dan Radcliffe (ha!). I win \o/

3. Telegraph Avenue. The O.C. Yeah, I know. But it's the very first story I ever wrote longer than 30 pages, and let me tell you, the first time you realize you can actually do that and the world won't fall apart? BIG FUCKING DEAL.

4. The Way I Was Made, which is a Smallville/Superman Returns/Teen Titans fusion that has the distinction of being the very first story I wrote that was a) over 60 pages and b) written all at one time and not in chapters (unlike TA). It took me a month. Longest month ever. (In comparison, I wrote both Son is on a Midnight Run and Get Some in a week. Actually Son only took a week including beta. Yeah, my betas got it like that.)

With a Special Award to The Incredibly True Adventures of Four Stars, Two Actors In Love, and One Gay Landmark. There are a lot of schools of thought about RPS. I subscribe to the "as long as it doesn't hurt anybody, I don't care" school of thought. And this story was the very first time I realized not only that RPS is damn fun (and not all emo LOTRips) but that, holy shit, real life is way more hysterical than anything I could dream up. Thank you Ari, George, Brad (I was touched in the head) and Jake (who I *still* don't like).

Someone needs to write the fic where Poke goes off on one about this very subject.

Just sayin'.

I was just saying to a friend yesterday how it was staggering that they hadn't yet marketed a sonic screwdriver vibrator. You know they'd sell like hotcakes.

That Sigur Ros video? OMG, that was like an espresso version of a Kes/Billy Elliot hybrid. Owch owch owch.

...see, now you're going to send me off on a Hackthis retrospective reread, woman. Which is all to the good, only right now it's bed time. Even if it doesn't feel like it should be bedtime for another six hours.

(Curse that pesky jetlag.)

And, yeah - Matthew Lewis is SO much more lickable than Daniel Radcliffe. Plus - adorable! His twitterstream is terribly, terribly disarming.

I have no fanfiction for The Losers, but my immediate reaction, before even finishing the movie, was: "So basically Roque got tired of Clay cheating on him with women who try to kill him and decided to See Other People."

[identity profile] pandarus.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG - you are very clever indeed.

What would they call it? The Sonic Screwdiver? The Sonic Muffdiver? The Sonic Screw? I mean, there's a refrigeratable glittery white dildo out there pitched at the Twifans, so there sure as hell should be a vibrator for the Whovians.

Just what The Doctor ordered.

Also - have not yet seen 'The Losers' movie, but I read the Graphic novel & it rocked my socks. Am VERY much looking forward to the movie...

I just wanted to say that Telegraph Avenue is still one of my favorite OC fics. I read it late, like possibly during or after season 4 aired, but I still adore it. ♥

But perhaps more importantly your fic is the reason I can read RPS, because it's really well written and with the inclusion of Ari Gold in almost everything it's much easier to draw the line between fiction and reality. Not that I've ever had a problem, but it was just a good way to get my feet wet in the RPS pool, so to speak. Your RPS is still the best thought.

I kind turned this comment into a giant [livejournal.com profile] hackthis love in. Teehee.

I still go back and read Telegraph Avenue every once in a while. I love that story!

HA!!!

Poke and Ray talking about Doctor Who? Wow.
lazulus: (OMG!)

[personal profile] lazulus 2010-04-25 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! How could that not rock?

I kind of want to see The Losers, but I have Jeffrey Dean Morgan issues.

Telegraph Avenue!!! I love that story so much. And some of thses I don't think I've ever read which is scandalous and I need to remedy.

And I know plenty of Dean/Castiel stories with explosions and violence, but I don't think you'd be as amused as I would if I recced them to you.

I wish I could look back at my writing as fondly. While I am very proud of some fics, and like the idea of others, most of my old fic, I just want to hide in a corner and pretend it never happened. I mean, they seemed to work for some people but I can't read them nowadays myself and not spend the whole time cringing.

Your Theodore/Neville has a special place in my heart as well. And Matthew Lewis' progression just makes me very happy.

You are so subtle isn't amazing. Sadly [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 has alreadt preempted you with the idea of when Eleven meets Tony Stark. I think I could bang out 1000 words on that, but first I owe [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti fic about George/Anderson. It's very hard to write when they're all being domestic.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
The first time I saw that Sigur Ros video I was absolutely dumbstruck. And you need to sleep, the stories aren't going anywhere. At least not to my knowledge.

Furthermore, Matthew Lewis = HOT. ASS. and will only get hotter as evidenced by his big brother Anthony Lewis. He did an episode of Torchwood. I watched it four times.

Losers movie = Good Times!

Wordy MsWorderson!

Well thank you for the love, it's always welcome :)

And I'm very happy that both Ari and TA work for you!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you like it :)

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't say anything about Jeffrey Dean Morgan I've only seen him in two things including this. He is very hot with both Zoe Saldana and Idris Elba (Stringer Bell in the house!), though, so, uh, yeah.

I didn't know you read TA!

[personal profile] lazulus 2010-04-25 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Subtle is my middle name. I don't think I clocked that you were writing George/Anderson! This makes me inordinately happy. And there's nowt wrong with domestic!fic. At least, not in this neck of the woods!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a lot of stories, some I grimace at, some I just think okay, but there are a few that make me think, "You know, that's not bad." I think everybody has stuff like that.

I ♥ Theodore/Neville a lot.

[livejournal.com profile] pinkfinity has been patiently waiting, S77 gave me an idea, but I just... I cannot summon the words! ARI! Why hast thou forsaken me?!

OH. EM. EFF. GEE.

That dude was his BROTHER????

Oh, well done Yorkshire! Bringing the hotness!

...man, Christmas round at their house must be pretty damn decorative, eh?

Thunk.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-04-25 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't know that was his brother? That episode with the war vet in the vault or whatever (you can see how much attention I paid to anything that wasn't him). OH. EM. GEE. The second I laid eyes on him, I thought, he looks like Neville... no, he really really looks like Neville. And he is kissing Tosh. And there is SEXXOR! Maybe I am losing it, but who is he...

And he is Matthew's older brother.

Oh, the genes in that family.

*stuffs square of Galaxy in mouth* Good times, bb.

I am trying valiantly not to go to a Mary Sue self-insert RPS place here, but you're not helping.

...okay, I'd be heading for my bunk, but conveniently I'm there already. (Now I just need to convince my body that it's 1.30am, not 7pm. Le sigh.)

Still...humina humina. And bloody well done you for making that connection!

Huh, this Post title was the title of an art exhibit near me... What is it from?
