I am still AWOL from LJ. Heh, I haven't even checked my email in 2 days. My inbox is probably over the limit. This makes me nervous and even less likely to check my email. I'm all caught up in a vidding fever and it really isn't fair of me to update my LJ and not read anyone else's, but I can't help it. The power of High Holy Day of Teh Eval Slash compels me!
In other words: New Smallville and Angel tonight guys. Set your tivos/VCRs/DVD-Rs/Bittorrent/NewsGroup/However Else you stay connected. I expect great things from AtS tonight especially.
Since I am still incoherant from Smallville, last week, it gets a free pass this week. As long as the episode is not All-Lana, All the Time, I am cool. It could be about Lana and her new boyfriend and I'd still be cool. I like him. I hope he sticks around forever and ever. I hope, even if it turns out that he is a mutant and he killed his parents, that he still gets to stick around forever and ever and never go away. Ever. Like never. He is certain to be dying, y'know? My luck is not that good. He'll probably be dead before the credits roll tonight.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
undercoverbro should probably come spoil me now.
Even if tonight's episode is All Lana, I forgive it. I forgive it because last week they gave me something that you just can't underestimate. They gave me something that can not be measured, something that touches me. Deep inside. They gave me...Lex!Torture.
::falls hard::
I am so predictible. Show me pretty and I go "Ohhh" and then I go do something else. Show me puretruelove and I am intrigued and maybe my throat closes a little and the tiny sentimental piece of my heart melts a bit more, and then I go and do something else. Show me fine acting and a compelling, well written story and unless the scene sparkles, or there is a vampire or someone time traveling, I am already doing something else. Show me man-pain and I will be your bitch for life.
Mmmm...Chickenwire!Mulder, Holywater!Angel, Aurorachair!Crichton and now Electro!Lex. It all started with Carbonite!Han (at least for me - imprinted at an early age for type). I'd add Spike-On-A-Cross, but I think that would be overdoing it. I am hoping that at some point in season 4 QaF US, Brian Kinney is captured during a trip to [insert name of fictional country] by guerilla leaders and kept in a bamboo cage suspended above hot coals. My eyes actually gleam a bit maniacally when I think about this. The best thing I have for Brian torture now is the first episode of season 2 and really, that is just not keeping up with the rest of the boys. There is a precedent and it has been set and I expect everyone to adhere to this schedule. Maiming must be afoot.
So, the Angel/Spike vid has been placed on hold (and awaiting further inspiration/season 5 source) and all things Lex has taken over my brain. Want to talk to me about the Iowa Caucus? Sure bet, as long as we can work Lex into the conversation. I love this initial rush of obsession/fannish/slavish Devotion. It is all things good and pure and heady. It is like a few summers ago, after BtVS season five, when every conversation I had with my sister started with her asking me, "So, do you think Spike can be redeemed?" Seriously. I'd say something about being out of detergent and she would look up and nod distractedly and then ask, "So, do you think Spike can be redeemed?"
I'm not that bad yet, but I am riding the wave. Since that wave brings vidding fun, I am over the top ecstatic. Also sleepy. In this instance, I, like the Beatles before me, get by with a little help from my friends. I've already ropedrenenet into watching SV with me. tzikeh jumped me and sent me song ideas. Hysterical song ideas and then one that made me cry.
sockkpuppett is keeping me in enough source so that the shakes don't start (you know - when you MUST vid a part of a song and you don't yet have that episode? So you shake? I know is not just me that does this). She is also helping with the handholding and general angst of vidding a show that I do not know - not even a little. Vidding Buffy was automatic - I knew where everything was and where it all falls into place. Angel is almost like a second skin. QaF was a bit different, not as comfortable, but I was at least learning the source before I ever ripped a DVD. This is totally different. This is jumping in and hoping everything works out okay. It is a lot of fun. Highly addictive. I hope I am not becoming a new fandom slut - always on the prowl for something new and in pain. Of course, there is an "Invisible Man" marathon planned for February (squee) and I am fairly certain that there is mucho torture to be found there and by February I will probably be looking for my next big thing.... Or I could just hang with Angel.
I probably need some Lex!pain icons. In keeping with Tradition.
ETA: in talking to Lum and Wendy in the comments I am reminded that my list of tortured fannish souls is lacking - I was remiss in not mentioning both Capn Mal and his missing ear and Captain Picard and his brush with the Borg. Torture - it is not just for Earth Boys anymore. This makes me think about Kirk Torture - which is not something that would really involve me. Spock torture - that would be upsetting. Hell, that is upsetting. Kirk is kinda like Spike.
