no, really.

Okay, people, you all KNOW I love you very very dearly and appreciate you like whoa, right? But if I see one more righteous screed on my friends list on the evils of hate memes and how negativity is a deathly poison on fandom and the pussiness of anonymous commenters, I AM GOING TO SCREAM, I swear to God.

Okay? Okay. I just thought I'd throw that out there.

Here, have some picspam of Jennifer Garner being adorable.

( These took a billion years to upload, because apparently photbucket hates Jennifer Garner )

just picture me flailing a lot, okay?

Please excuse the mess; I just watched Alias 4x18, "Mirage", and I may have accidentally just TOTALLY EXPLODED ALL OVER THE ENTIRE INTERNET OMG.

Um. I'll just go get a mop, shall I?

conversations i have with myself while reading fic: part 1

Okay, so do you ever get pulled out of stories by some small detail and then realize what's weirding you out is that the story does something that weirdly contradicts your own personal fanon? Because let me tell you, it makes you feel REALLY GODDAMN DUMB.

My example from tonight: rhythmsextion just posted some very lovely priest!kinky F/K porn over at stop_drop_porn (which you should all go read, and give her feedback). And I'm reading it and enjoying it muchly, and then I come to this line:

Because Ray has never wanted to go to a confessional so badly in his life. And he isn't even fucking *Catholic*.

And then my brain goes, "But! Ray Kowalski IS Catholic!"

And then my brain goes, "Wait, they never actully say that in canon, I guess. The closest they come to religion is the 'Churches make me nervous'/human sacrifice thing in Say Amen."

And then my brain goes, "Yeah, but, but, but. It makes SENSE for him to be Catholic! And that's how I always think of him, so there!"

And then my brain goes, "Self, you realize that is the VERY DEFINITION OF FANON? Jeez. Dorkwad."

And then I went on and read the rest of the lovely story. The end.

Edited to add:
