i have been putting off making this for a while now

[schmerica]

OKAY SO I GIVE IN ALREADY. My friends, let us discuss Wizards of Waverly Place. Here are some topics to start us off:

1) How is even humanly possible for Selena Gomez to be this charming? HOW? I want her to live in my pocket forever and be adoooorable, oh man. I can hardly stand it.

2) The show is actually surprisingly good. No, I'm serious. In the genre of tween-appealing family shows, this one is both less embarrassing and less mind-numbingly stupid. And I mean, like, I will defend Hannah Montana pretty far, but however I love it, I know that is a crappy show. The quality of this one is higher than that.

3) You guys, I know you're all going laugh at me, and it is probably deserved, but ... LOL SUBTEXTUAL HETCEST :DDD:. I don't know. I DON'T KNOW. The first episode I saw was the one where Alex has both her & her best friend's brain in her head, and her best friend has a huge mega crush on Justin, and starts trying to control Alex's body's behavior around Justin and his girlfriend? And then we just watched another episode where Alex finds out Justin has not had his first kiss yet, and she's WAY WAY WAY TOO INVOLVED in making it perfect for him (and that episode ends with her kissing a random guy in front of him just to get back at him).

It also doesn't help that their relationship is probably the strongest one on the show and the two actors have a lot of chemistry together. Plus he's the cute but incredibly fucking geeky boy! and she's the evil but adorable one! And um. Stop looking at me like that.

I would like to add that I might have been able to let all of this go if it hadn't been for shoemaster's EPICALLY ENABLING TEXT MESSAGES. She just linked me to fanfiction.net stories, you guys. Do you know when the last time I read badfic with a guarantee of no porn to make it worth my while? NEITHER DO I.

TO RECAP: Selena Gomez is the cutest thing alive, this show is addictive, and you should all be writing me and Allison Disney tween incest fic. (shoemaster prefers where they're secretly not really related, so it could have happy endings.) Relatedly, I still encourage links to any and all Selena/Demi Lovato or Princess Protection Program fic that isn't terrible.

DUDE, HE'S ALL ANGRY AT HER FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT MEANS FOR THEM NOT TO BE RELATED, AND COMES BACK TO FIND HER ASLEEP IN HIS BED. IT'S AMAZING.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

OH THANK GOD I AM NOT ALONE. I was like "maybe this is some super advanced form of Stockholm Syndrome? I JUST CAN'T TELL."

THIS IS A TOPIC I CAN GET BEHIND :D

I love all Selena Gomezes. She's so charming in everything she does. Also, the show has good writers because Alex's character is hilarious. And adorable. I'm probably more excited than I should be for the Wizards of Waverly Place movie /o\

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Imp, are you going to make me write the story FOR you?

[shoemaster.livejournal.com]

Someone left him on their doorstep. Possibly the stork.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

You are not alone in that "probably too excited" about the movie thing! They keep showing little behind the scene clips and stuff. fox1013 is going to be seeing a lot of Selena Gomez when we move in together apparently.

I KEEP STOPPING TO READ YOUR COMMENTS INSTEAD OF THE FIC >:(

[voleuse.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY? I watched about five minutes of this show, and I was SO DISAPPOINTED when I realized they were related. WOE.

I am shameless when I see an opportunity

[iamsupernova.livejournal.com]

I WATCHED 'ANOTHER CINDERELLA STORY' BC SELENA GOMEZ IS SO ADORABLE, OKAY. AND ALSO FOR JANE LYNCH.

[impertinence.livejournal.com]

maaaaybe.

[impertinence.livejournal.com]

alex is not surprised.

[shoemaster.livejournal.com]

The fic we're reading is pretty great, but it had the "not related" reveal too early. not enough guilty feelings before hand. and then relief about not being related/guilt for being glad your brother isn't actually your family etc etc.

[impertinence.livejournal.com]

The reveal needs to come after ACTUAL they-think-it's-incest, even if it's just a kiss. For maximum lulzy angst.

also, lmfl.

[shoemaster.livejournal.com]

right! and weird jealousy etc.

Justin stared at her for a long moment, eyes narrowed like he was robo-scanning her for any insincerity, before he nodded slightly. “Right. Of course.”

iawany fic that has frysquinting.

Okay, so sadly I have no PPP fic to rec, but I would just like to register my desire for futurefic where Carter and Rosie fall out of touch after a couple of years of being long-distance friends. Carter always keeps an eye on her in the news, though, and so she knows when there's a minor scandal when Rosie is caught kissing a girl by paparazzi when she's on vacation. And then Rosie becomes the first officially out princess ever and the face of the young global GLBTQ movement.

And it's not like Carter cares, or anything. She's not into girls, but basically half her college friends are, so she's not weirded out. She's just bummed that Rosie never trusted her enough to tell her, and maybe a little sad that she didn't get to be there for Rosie when she was being basically attacked by paparazzi wherever she went, because that must have sucked. Mostly Carter puts it out of her mind, though. She doesn't even tell her college friends that she's met Rosie, let alone that she and Rosie were close friends. It just feels wrong to trade in on their friendship like that, just so she can tell some lame stories about knowing someone famous.

Only then they run into each other in, like, Paris, because Carter just graduated college and is doing the backpacking-through-Europe thing. They go out to dinner to catch up, and they talk over each other in a way that never used to be awkward, but is now. It gets less weird, though, and they hang out the next day, and the day after that, and then all of a sudden Rosie is coming along to the next city Carter's hitting. It's basically just like it used to be.

They never talk about Rosie being a lesbian, though. Carter isn't sure how to bring it up, or even if she should bring it up, and Rosie never volunteers anything, except for once when she looked across a restaurant in London and pointed out a girl she thought was hot. Well, it was Rosie, so instead of saying, "check out that hot girl," she said, "Oh, she is beautiful," almost absently, like she wasn't talking to Carter in particular, and Carter looked across the room at the redheaded girl Rosie was gazing at. Privately, Carter didn't even think the girl was that pretty, but she just sort of nodded and wondered why this was making her awkward and uneasy.

And then there is epic UST and one night they get really drunk and Rosie confesses that she had a crush on Carter when she first met her, only she didn't really realize it was a crush at the time, and then she laughs about her faily bb lesbian self. Only Carter can't stop thinking about it and then there is more epic UST and then there is adorable sex, the end.

IDK, ERICA, I AM THE MOST RIDIC. :D:

[shoemaster.livejournal.com]

STFU, THAT MOVIE WAS AMAZING.

[impertinence.livejournal.com]

[shoemaster.livejournal.com]

ROSIE GOES FOR THE MORE BAD ASS/TOMBOY TYPES, DOESN'T SHE. WHICH JUST MAKES CARTER JEALOUS, BECAUSE SHE'S ALL "I BET THEY'D FREAK OUT IN A BAIT SHOP" >:( AND IS ALL "I COULD TAKE THEM".

NEEDS ALL OF THE JEALOUSY.
