Long may she reign.
Jul. 3rd, 2016 06:26 pm《权力的游戏》又是一季完结……下半年等《维京传奇》吧。(当然了我更大的希望还是九月开始都在忙着旅游所以没时间追剧……)
对于Robert Ball的Beautiful Death系列简直一见钟情,瑟曦加冕的这一张也是深得我心。然而瑟曦(确切地说,双胞胎的CP)也是走在BE的康庄大道上,想到这里我就有点难过。

再加上开挂的龙母,真不知道下一季还有没有追的必要。北境那边珊莎和小指头的最终走向是看点,熊家萝莉也是,囧嘛……囧什么时候才能知道自己爹妈是谁啊。
第六季拍是拍得很好的,只是从个人角度来说多恩线完蛋,攸伦这个人物也彻底完蛋了(偏偏我在GRRM放出新章之后脑补了N多黑漆漆的攸伦日天日弟的场景……)。席恩和雅拉那一段倒是挺好的。我现在所有人物中最喜欢他们俩是怎么回事…… 总觉得他们俩不可能都活到结束就是了。= =

《维京传奇》里面的一对
Jun. 23rd, 2016 01:30 pm我说的不是无限接近官配的男主拉格纳和神父。=_=
是男主和自认为是洛基转世的男配。
蝴蝶:我youtube到了第三季10集,看到Floki对着男主棺材说的那段话,给吓死了
蝴蝶:历史频道居然这么彪悍了我都不知道,这都坦荡荡说出来了orz
阿幽:扶额
阿幽:你造吗,这段让我想到红楼梦里晴雯生着病拼了一夜给贾宝玉补好了一件衣服
蝴蝶:……………………寿衣(不)
阿幽:就是那种特别强烈的但是不好启齿的感情
( “你分明是个大傻逼,我还给你织毛衣” )
我后来又想了一下,觉得拉格纳是代表的Floki的理想。Floki精灵古怪但是离群索居,如果没有拉格纳可能一辈子就是个山里蹲。他们一开始出海,Floki还对自己没有自信,觉得船绝对要沉,是在拉格纳坚持之下才有了他们后来所有的传奇。S4里面比约恩邀请Floki去未知之海冒险,Floki开心得要死一口答应,可见他骨子里面向往的还是老Norse那一套扬帆四海。(拉格纳其实也是,但是在拉格纳身上又体现了某种融合——当然这种融合在Floki看来是对于外界的妥协+对于传统的背叛。)
这真是一个悲伤的故事……

The Bletchley Circle/《布莱切利四人组》
Oct. 30th, 2015 07:40 pm给喜欢谍报/破案电视剧的同志们(特别是姑娘们)狂推《布莱切利四人组》这部英剧。四个主要女性角色都棒呆了! 不卖肉不卖蠢,四位拥有头脑、勇气和正义感的女性彼此扶持一起斗罪犯。虽然时代背景是上个世纪五零年代,这四个角色放在今日的环境中也毫不逊色。
The Bletchley Circle (available on Netflix) is AWESOME! I especially love how it portrays its female characters, whose stories, friendships, struggles, and triumphs form the backbone of this series. I really really wish it had more episodes... T_T

Dominion, Michael, Gabriel
Mar. 30th, 2015 01:46 pm在youtube上发现了一个很短很短的Michael/Gabriel的MV,Take Me to Church。(The only heaven I'll be sent to ... is when I'm alone with you)
……虽然吧这剧的脑洞略不讲逻辑+特效效果颇为悲剧+男女主的颜我怎么也喜欢不起来+男女主的关系很无聊+总觉得光没打够,但我还是真的好喜欢这里面的Michael和Gabriel!>_< 真是萌得不要不要的……势均力敌相爱相杀(官方盖章)的双子兄弟,再加上圣经天使的背景……简直没法不萌啊这是。
但是Michael本命(?)如我,不管是哪一个官方(官方同人?)版本,从来就没跳过Michael和Lucifer的坑……按理说Lucifer的人设我也是会喜欢的但是我一贯彻底无感……是因为后来人设崩得太厉害了吗。→_→
说起来Dominion里面没有Lucifer完全不科学。既然已经续了第二季(虽然我也想问how),可以期待一下Lucifer么……鉴于我不担心人气爆高的Michael,对于第二季的愿望就只剩下请Gabriel继续炫下去吧!
突然好想拿Pentatonix & Lindsey Stirling的《Radioactive》来给Michael和Gabriel剪MV啊……这种时候就羡慕Iris的苹果本上自带傻瓜剪MV软件了……
以及其实我前天翻自己的AO3账号觉得我那两篇Gabriel/Michael写得还可以这种事情我会乱说吗……

some of the TV series I've been watching
Nov. 3rd, 2014 12:36 pm- Foyle's Waronly watched the first series so far. The characters are great and the historical backdrop is very nicely done. Looking forward to seeing the rest on Netflix & glad to know there is a new series coming out next year.
- ConstantineA bit too early to decide.
- Elementary Season 3I Am Confused. Is this really the show I had fun watching in the past two seasons? Way too much relationship stuff and not enough murder mystery, sigh. What is with this Kitty character? And ugh I can't dig Holmes' new haircut at all.
- Gothamsurprisingly entertaining even though some characters (Barbara Keane, I'm looking at you) are kinda flat. Harvey Bullock and his partner ship with Gordon has really grown on me (although after this last episode....). Alfred and Lil' Bruce Wayne are good, too. Penguin is...uh let me put it this way, if he had better looks, I'm sure there would be a load of Gordon/Penguin fics out there. Oh and Edward Nygma reminds me of Q, except not as pretty. I am still not quite certain what to make of Fish, but I shall follow her storyline with interest....
30 day Fanfic meme (Redux) - Day 6-10
Oct. 5th, 2014 06:08 pmDay 06. A guilty pleasure fic
The La Beneamata series by myself &
asukajude (Football RPS, Matthäus/Klinsmann, Beckenbauer/Cruyff)
For so many reasons. So many. All those plot bunnies which may never see the light of day...
Day 07. A fic with a wonderful kiss
I almost never remember any kissing scene—as in, I know kissing must have been involved at some point, I just don’t remember any of its particulars. Having said this, although I’m trying my hardest to not re-nominate any of fics already mentioned in this meme from 4 years ago, I’ll have to go with….
the bridge or the pulley by
michi_thekiller (Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy VIII, Seifer/Squall, Leon/Seifer)
And one day, this boy would be big and tall and muscular, harsh in his beauty, and strong, certainly strong enough to press one against a wall in a deep green garden, to be tongue and teeth and not to listen so well when one said no because there was a yes folded inside of it.
Just one of the many parts of that glorious fic that has always stuck in my head. :P
Day 08. A fic you plan on reading (old or new)
Kissing Gourami by草加ミチル (Prince of Tennis, Atobe/Tezuka)
Gakuto and Ryou’s POV on Atobe and Tezuka. The last time I read this it wasn’t completed yet I think. Some parts of it, OMGOMGOMG.
手塚の黒い目がゆっくりと動いて、俺の目を見下ろす。
感情の見えないその目は何故だか物言わぬ恐竜を連想させる。
古い、古い時代の、数億年の長い時を生きた種族。
Day 09. A fic that makes you happy
I don’t even remember the name or the author of this tiny gem of a fic but it ALWAYS cracks me (and whomever I’m describing it to) up….
It’s a present-day Arthur/Merlin fic. The idea is that Merlin, after all these years, has FINALLY found Arthur’s reincarnation (you know, once and future king and all). So Merlin’s all like, MY KING let us work together to bring England back to Glory (yes with a capital G)! And the young Arthur goes, YEAH TOTALLY I’M GONNA START BY CAPTAINING THE FOOTBALL TEAM TO BECOME WORLD CHAMPIONS BECAUSE THAT’S CLEARLY THE FIRST STEP!
Day 10. A fic that reminds you of someone
尘埃飞舞 by River_RS (MCU, Thor/Loki/Thor, Natasha/Clint)
Due to the Hong Kong AU setting I can never think about without thinking about
iris242x….. Alsoyes, whatever else, bloody good fic. Not just for Thor and Loki, but for Natasha and Clint as well.

30 day Fanfic meme (Redux) - Day 1-5
Oct. 4th, 2014 01:11 amI can't believe it's been 4 years since I did it last! Listing different fics this time, obviously. :P
Originally passed to me from
verizonhorizon.
( Details within. )
Day 01. A fic with a great opening
Family by
enarte (Naruto, Kakashi+Sasuke)
Kakashi could never really justify to himself why he passed Team 7 in the end. Nobody asks him, not even Sasuke, who sits in Kakashi's kitchen and slurps instant noodles with as much dignity as he can muster.
Really just a drabble but…ten years later, after all the wtf courtesy of Kishimoto, after everything, it still makes me smile. :)
Day 02. A favorite new fic (posted in the last few weeks)
Uh…I haven’t really been reading new fics really….instead I will rec a relatively new Game of Thrones MV! In Chinese!
《向天再借五百年》——《权力的游戏》改编,缅怀乔佛里 by 征夷
三分钟改变整部冰火历史!一代明君乔佛里大帝千古!不顶不是君临人!
Day 03. A long-standing favorite fic
Red Ruin, and the Breaking Up of Laws by
hummingbirdmoth (MCU, Thor/Loki)
I think this is possibly the very first Thor/Loki fic that I adored, and there are parts of it which have remained with me ever since. ("I wish we had done this when we were younger and better.")
Day 04. A fic that you wish more people would read
Letters from the Northern Continent by
thehoyden (Star Trek: Deep Space 9, Elim Garak/Julian Bashir)
I think this is what got me really interested in Garak/Bashir. It’s very nuanced but had just the right amount of siren call. And G/B is such a great ship, too. >.<
Day 05. A fic you weren't sure you'd like but ended up loving
Yggdrasil, In Spring by
cthonical – (MCU, Thor/Lady Loki)
I generally don’t go for fics featuring het sex, but the sex scene in this one was angry and IC and omgsohot. Oh and, eh, off-screen bestiality was hot, too. (Hey this is Loki you know.)

昨天在Penn Station等了G同学两个小时之久……orz 不过也算是歪打正着地读掉了《The Ayatollah Begs to Differ: The Paradox of Modern Iran》中可观的一部分。本来打算下个月读《The Second Sex》,但是一看有八百多页…… @_@
《Dominion》继续观望中。SY也就不指望了,但尼玛AO3上就我一个人写Gabriel/Michael这种感觉简直虐cry....明明(相对而言)点赞的也没那么少啊。为什么就我一个人写……而且写的都还是小清新风(抱头)。
明天要干的事情:1. 打两个电话。2. 读一堆文件。3. 既然都办了卡了,去楼下锻炼半个小时。
后天要干的事情:见律师……………………

Title: The Trumpet Player
Author: Renata Lord (
snowlight)
Pairing: Gabriel/Michael (a la Dominion)
Note: Post Dominion 1x03. Oh and I borrowed stuff from The Songs of Solomon.
The Trumpet Player
(Gabriel/Michael)
She lies there on the vermilion carpet, her scarlet dress stained by crimson death.
Gabriel stares at her body, though in truth he sees nothing beyond that dark pool of blood slowly forming underneath his makeshift throne. Human forms are hideous constructs: they bleed, they weaken, and they cease. Yet his soldiers have embraced this fragile monstrosity, giving themselves over to the calls of the malformed flesh. None of them seems to recall that this body is only a cheaply made suit, caging their true angelic grace.
Such is why Furiad suffers the delusion that a lowly Power might end his brotherFuriad, who has fought by their side against the Serpent, and who has witnessed all of his brother's warlike splendor. Every day this form corrupts, and every day Gabriel's rage grows.
The trumpet feels cold in his hand. A dirge, then, for the fallen. The archangel closes his eyes and searches for the aching vibration of memories, which are now swelling up within him like the parting Red Sea. If his expression softens, it's because even in this accursed form, he would always remember
My brother shines forth like the breaking dawn. He is fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners.
And so in that smoky-aired church the lonely trumpet plays on, calling for the end of the world.
