Intaglio 2.0

Meme stolen from ranty_rie. ♥

( Click. Or don't. It'll be a week like that. )

From taraljc.

Name fifteen favorite fannish pairings (het/slash/canon/fanon), and ask people if they notice any common traits/tendencies in the pairings you choose. Try to pick different fandoms.

Different fandoms? Oops. Here, have them in vague chronological order backward, including ships for fandoms I'm no longer in or only in to converse with the awesome people I met there. Also, please note that I pay no attention to the / direction.

( Pairings! )

BONUS ROUND: My original pairing was and will always be Zelda/Link (The Legend of Zelda)

I still can't stand Jayne/River (Firefly).

ETA: I just watched it! I cried. It's that awesome. "You have just taken your first step into hell." Oh Ed, my Ed. And the backgrounds are so lush and gorgeousful and.

JUST WATCH IT ALREADY.

Oh oh oh oh.

Look look look LOOK. <3

BEHOLD.

I seriously had to bite my face to keep from SCREAMING. In pure excitement.

I haven't seen it yet and I don't care BECAUSE IT IS THAT AWESOME. and ( Mangaverse kinda spoilers back here if you're only reading licensed volumes )

This entirely suits my requirements. And look what they named it! ^_^

Can there be an AU out there where Greed the First takes ownership of the Elrics and helps them get what they want, and they go eeeeevilll, and havoc ensues?

And like Roy has Fuhrer's Orders to kill them! And Kimbley, jilted by Greed the First, wants to help him do it. That would be awesome.

And Hughes as a homunculus, just to rip Roy the fuck apart. Angst fen would worship me. I think anime!Hughes would become another Pride, honestly, if we go ahead with manga rules where Bradley is Wrath. Selim can just die in a fire. The creepy little shit.

See I could write that. If I had the time. So I'll just blither about it instead.

In conclusion:

OH YEAH. OH FUCK YEAH.

INFINITE WIN + it's > 9,000.

Theft from taraljc:

( My dearth of TV fandoms, let me show you it? Er. )

AND THE GHOSTBUSTERS GAME! IS UNCANCELLED. ATARI BOUGHT IT. IT'S TO COINCIDE WITH SONY'S "PLANS" FOR GB'S 25th.

Yes, yes that does merit capslock. It merits large deafening capslock squee, and thus, and therefore.

For foxbaby:

Foxy/pimp!cat OTP.

( Now, there's no point in placing the blame )

For finer_verities:

Olivia and Mustang have post-Christmas generic winter holiday party words. I'm not the best at manga continuity, so beware.

( How can life be what you want it to be? )

Also: attack of the angst! I actually wrote GEN. Le gasp.

( You waste your time with hate and regret. )

What the shit?

Okay. I do this, too, I'm guilty, too, mostly in Replacement Killers, but it's fun funtimes, and it's not supposed to be a story.

There is a difference between the dross I keep in my personal journal and the stuff that actually makes it to posting status.

To wit: I know: ( How not to stuff up my account. Although here are some ways I could. )

Which, finally, we're at my point. PointSSssS. I have more than one.

ONE:

I don't care how badass you are Ruseugi-or-whatever is, Greed DOES NOT, generally, want to bed things/people/Sues that are actively trying to kill him.

Unless these things/people are named, oh, Envy, for example. Or Lust. Or Martel. Riza makes him nervous for the same reasons Kimbley makes him nervous--he's not afraid of death, but getting shot in the package, even when it grows back? Not his favorite passtime. Also, just 'cause bullets bounce off doesn't mean they don't hurt. XD

Anyway, Greed does pop a boner for just about everything, but a) that doesn't mean she's SPECIAL; he's just a pervert, or b) that he loves her.

Although he might tie her up and leave her naked in a closet somewhere so he could take her out and admire her flawless etc. etc. at intervals until she died. And then he would go collect a new pretty nothing. They flock to him by the millions, you see.

Maybe he'd separate them by type? A whole wall of Sues with gleaming rainbow wingspans, frozen and flawless in eternal SILENCE. Meaningless gorgeous THINGS. *Wallows in it.*

Uh, before my hold on the "righteous" portion of the "righteous wrath" completely evaporates.

TWO:

Don't fucking update a WIP I love, flaws and all with "I'm totally never updating this again because my original manga is way more important."

It doesn't make me love you. It achieves rather the opposite.

I wanted a story about Greed BEING KING OF HELL. Not about your original characters. And, you know what? Even if your comic turns out to be really super awesome, I still won't care about it.

I ordered a chili dog, with extra cheese, and you brought me a fucking UNFLAVORED QUAKER RICE CAKE.

I am so pissed off right now. That's such a dirty cheat.

When you take a dump, and then put syrup on it? That's not pancakes.

ANGRY JHETI OF CAPSLOCK. FOR REALLY REALS. REALLY.

Rrrghhh.

I find this fascinating, not for the two obvious conclusions (to wit, "humans are social animals" and "fat people are ostracized!") but because, O! Here is where it gets AWESOME: whole chunks of the smoking group quit simultaneously. That is a large concurrent attitude shift for reasons we don't precisely understand yet WITHIN THE GROUP DYNAMIC.

*Is transfixed.*

Do want. <3

(For reasons of glaringly obvious overshare, quite bored of the "haha loners get sick more 'cause NO ONE LIKES THEM HA" research.)

We could: induce volunteering behavior, incite riots, force corporations to their knees...the list goes on.

Olivia '08? ^_~

Must write Alex-Louis fic, must write Alex-Louis fic, must write Alex-Louis fic...

To quote one of the greats:

( ACT ONE: THEY MEET )

Slightly AU blah blah. No slash, and more's the pity, but more is always better, except right now. XD

Could we please stop with the "gold locked with amethyst" in reference to their eyes meeting?

I am not perfect. I did this too, years ago, with Neo and Smith. I know how tempting and irresistibly poetic it is and that it is compulsory.

All slash fen must do it at least once. It's like het fen and songfic.

But please. Once, and only once, is entirely enough. They could just put their arms around each other instead. Greed has grabby hands. This has potential.

And makes no reference, for good or ill, to their eye color at all. For which your audience will love you. Promise.

Sincerely,

Me

PS: It was still adorable, on the whole. <3

Greed/Envy. Not a follow-up; they did some kind of batshit hurt/comfort!hurt...thing...instead. 1,000 words or so. Anime, AU, past!fic, alpha copy, SLASH (m/m). Standard boilerplate applies. Slightly more dub in the con this time. Apologies to Arakawa Hiromu, to whom the characters belong.
