my otps collide

Poll! For the small but significant portion of my flist who have shipped both Clark/Lex (Smallville) and Fraser/Kowalski (due South) at some point in their fannish lives.

[Poll #489769]

Meanwhile, I shall continue to try and convince myself that being sleepy and bored isn't a good reason to take a nap. No, really.

I will now proceed to use my Smallville icon which I keep around solely for the twice a year I might use it. (Actually, I mostly keep it around so I have something appropriate for all my old lj entries that have "smallville" as the icon keyword. Because even if I don't love them anymore, they deserve better than random default-of-the-moment, dammit!)

urban explorer!

From realduesouth.net transcript of "Call of the Wild":

Kowalski: Fraser, do you ever get the feeling that you're, you know, lost?
Fraser: No, a quick look to the stars or the sun, you can always find your location.
Kowalski: No I don't mean where you are, I mean who you are.
Fraser: Oh, when I first came to Chicago I felt as though I was from another planet.
Kowalski: Which you are.
Fraser: Which I have come to accept. Everything was unknown and at times frightening. And I felt as though I was an explorer, an urban explorer.
Kowalski: Urban explorer.
Fraser: I remember one time we were on a stakeout and I was trying to explain the sense of other worldliness to the detectives, and I was telling the story of Sir John Franklin who set out to discover the North West Passage. But I realised as I was telling the story that they'd fallen to [Fraser notices Kowalski fell asleep]

People, I love them so much. So very very much. If we were not on the internet, I would stretch my arms very very wide for you to illustrate how I love them this much, but since you would not be able to see me right now, you're just going to have to trust me on this.

Also, I was going to make the point that I still think more post-CotW stories should mention the botulism and cannibalism aspects, but then I realized that point of deromancing of the adventure does, in fact, occur in "The End of the Road." I suppose this is just another reason why katallison is the coolest of us all.
