like all the boys before gwen; gwen/lancelot (main); gwen/all the boys before [merlin, arthur, gwaine] This vid is GORGEOUS. ♥_♥ I've watched it ten times today. I am probably going to watch it again the minute I click post. If you know of any good Gwen/Lancelot fic I am very much in the mood to read it right now.

And while you're here watch this vid on the supernatural ladies of The Vampire Diaries.



It's possible I've spent the last hour basically alternating between watching these two vids. Possible.

I watched this as part of a marathon with 3.11 and 3.12. 3.11 gets no commentary because it was one of the most boring 45 minutes of television I have ever sat through and 3.12 won’t either because I actually just want to talk about the finale alot. So let’s go!

( You know the answer )

Wow, how did this get so long, I need to be studying. S_S In conclusion: best finale yet, loved it and am considering a rewatch next week after exams. Anyone care to join me?

SOMEONE GET ME OFF THIS POST STAT. Female Yenta Meme My list of things to watch/read has grown EXPONENTIALLY. I kept opening up my library website to look for things before I gave in and left it open as a tab since clearly I was going to order ALL THE THINGS.

Also umm maybe I am hoping someone will ask for crazy cakes out for vengeance god sponsored genderbending women so I can recommend Maledicte. I love Maledicte. ♥ Still haven't read the sequel because why should I care about Janus Ixion? He's her loser ex, he is only important because his kidnapping set the stage for her god powered vengeance quest of excellence.

Also speaking of excellent things fandom has apparently decided this is a good time to create all the greatest fests ever. Here are a few for your perusal.

Not My Fandom Fest - So much hilarity! A testament to the amazing phenomenon that is fannish osmosis.

The Queerly Awesome Comment Ficathon - Haven't read them all yet but I plan to! I noticed some Original Cindy prompts there which are definitely going to be my first stop.

Get Arthur and Gwen Laid Meme THE GREATEST THING EVER. Except for all the other greatest things I have just linked you. Look it's not my fault the universe decided to implode with awesome all at once okay?

The Bechdel Test Comment Ficathon Do I even have to explain why this is awesome? No, no I do not. Get thee hence immediately.

TOO MANY THINGS NOT ENOUGH TIME. I am officially blaming fandom for all my school problems. Which I must return to now.

( A concise summary of this episode and all my feelings pertaining towards it )

P.S. Gwen was in this episode. It was good.

No episode play by play, I was watching with my cousin so I didn’t do any pauses. Instead, have some scattered post ep thoughts!

( Well that was a considerable improvement on last week! )

Two recs today: one old and one new!

Between the Bars This vid is from last year. I downloaded it then and I still sometimes get the urge to rewatch it so I figured I might as well rec. This is one where the lyrics just fit so PERFECTLY you have to wonder if someone wasn't thinking about the Arthurian legend when they wrote it. My favourite part of the vid's got to be this.

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
Or that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

I love the way she cuts to footage of other incarnations of the Arthur legend (the people you've been before) and the idea of Merlin pushing them down. It really gives a sense of history to the legend. And while the song choice is brilliant this is one of the vids where you can watch it on mute (I just did, my mom's asleep) and the story is still clear to you. It reminds me a little of obsessive24's Red with the hint of tragedy lurking around the edges -- the story's happened before and it'll happen again. Definitely give it a shot, it's one of my top vids.

Watershed And this is the one that's brand new! Fandom's produced quite a few Morgana vids, most of them brilliant. They do tend to use alot of the same footage though, probably because in season 2 especially there isn't that much Morgana footage to use. This still manages to feel fresh to me though. It's a vid that benefits from rewatching, I've seen it a few times and I still don't think I've caught everything it's trying to say. I particularly like the section tying Morgana in with the other magical women of Camelot. I think this is my favourite vid to come out of Vividcon this year.

I just keep watching this over and over. It's like a concentrated shot of HI ZEINEB YOU REALLY LOVE THIS CAST A HELL OF A LOT, YOU SHOULD GO FIND ALL THE HAPPY FIC.

When will season 3 start again? Because I think it should be TOMORROW.

I Am Become a Name is finished! =DDDDDD

I've wanted to read it forever but I have ISSUES with reading unfinished fic on account of being burned many times (no no no WHY would you quit something after 54 amazing chapters Unnamed Author? DDDDD=)

SO YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE I'LL BE FOR THE NEXT...FEW DAYS OR SO? IDK.

Here is a MEME. Courtesy of old school fannish5

1. AUs: yes please or what's the point?

The first one! I love AUs with a mad burning love. Oftentimes I will read a thing or watch a thing and imagine how it might be skewed a little to the left. This has led to amazing imaginary playgrounds like the Harry Osbourne is Harry Potter universe and the Grand Unified Theory of Actor/Character Oneness (an actor is every character they have played in a movie! For example Ella of Frell is also Jane Austen! Pirate King Elizabeth Swann was Warrior Queen Guinevere in a past life! THINK OF ALL THE POSSIBILITIES)

2. What's the best AU you've read?

DDD= I read so many AUs it is impossible to choose. But I do tend to reread The Secret of Slytherin whenever I need a cheer up so let's go with that.

3. What's the worst AU you've read?

Usually if an AU is bad I will quit. So I have no answer.

4. How would you like to see your fandom altered that you haven't seen yet?

Merlin AU with Merlin and Gwen as partners running the Camelot Detective Agency. If anyone ever writes this I will probably flail all over their comments with joy.

5. What AU worked that you never would have expected?

-ponders- You know, nothing is coming to mind right now. Though part of that is I am pretty much 100% open to all AU possibilities. I've never really seen a concept that made me go NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS (watch me remember something that caused me to say just that the minute I post).

Post Justification: Another thing I did when doing The Wall analysis was write two of my responses to my old response papers! Because I needed a break from the Floydness of it all.
