bending_sickle | Don’t you mind the war tonight*

*feeble wave* So, not dead yet. Sick with a cold and sunburnt all to hell, making clothes an instrument of torture, but alive. The Cliffnotes of my life are:

the phone interview went terribly and I sucked and it was aweful

consequently I've been unable to do any more jobhunting, meaning I fail at everything

everything is The Avengers and Loki and everything hurts, but it's a better thing than points one and two so yays

speaking of which, I wrote fanfic drabble thingies for The Avengers because I had questions and feelings

I also finally finished a Supernatural fanvid I started sometime in 2009 \o/

I'm also working on putting seschat and my Sherlock headcanon to sickle_stories. Part 1 of 18 is up.

so it kinda looks like I'm being productive.

So have some thingies:

Fanfic and Meta: Seschat and Sickle's Holmes Bros Headcanon, Part 1 of 18

Fanfic: In the Mountains There is the Promise
Fandom: The Avengers
Word Count: 1,223
Summary: What happened between Loki's defeat and his and Thor's departure? (i.e. I had a lot of questions)

Fanvid Title: More Than This
Music: "Push" by Moist
Fandom: Supernatural
Summary: You have become your father's gun. A study (of sorts) of John Winchester's effect on the boys and the hunter's life. "Is this what you want / what you need / what you wanted me to be?"

Quote of the Day:

greygirlbeast, here

If I have to be someone other than who and what they would have me believe their god made of me (or made me weak enough I might become), if it's all that sick and twisted and sadistic, why would I want to dwell in the house of that lord? Maybe the truest mark of human intellectual evolution is giving our "gods" the middle finger.

cleolinda's Review - "...what you really need to know is that Loki is a sad panda who wants to rule the world because reasons, and there are aliens because there are aliens more likely than not these days, and the cube is how, and Loki's big bad blue light stick does stuff because we need it to. Also, he has a helmet that a bighorn ram would be jealous of, because why not. [...] ...I couldn't quite get over Loki, Asgardian god of legend, riding around in the back of a truck like someone's golden retriever. [...] Samuel L. Jackson's Twitter is entirely worth it just for the myriad ways he spells his favorite word. So far I have seen "muhfuggas," "mughpfukkas," "muthughpfuccahz," "mughfughquahs" and "MAAADAAAHFAAAHKAAAAHZ!" [...] Although I was really disturbed during that scene with Loki when I realized that her "skills" weren't actually sexual seduction--they involved her making herself vulnerable enough to emotional and/or physical torture that men would stop guarding themselves and start monologuing their inner thoughts. I don't know if it was a good disturbed or a bad disturbed." ; On the "mewling quim" bit.
