here is something i think you should know.

When [livejournal.com profile] fox1013 and I are talking in google talk, and then name "Benny" is mentioned, Fox is thinking of Rent. I am thinking of due South.

That would be a horrible, horrible crossover and/or AU. I'm just saying. HORRIBLE.

Furthermore:

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: i bet fraser would be a good person to have around if you were going through smack withdrawal, though. he would take good care of you.

[livejournal.com profile] fox1013: /cracking up/

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: no, seriously!
if I had to pick one fandom character to nurse me through my heroin addiction, fraser would be IT.

[livejournal.com profile] fox1013: /giggling/ seriously?
...There are so many awesome things about that sentence that I cannot pick just one.

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: heeeeee.
/is posting about this.

[livejournal.com profile] fox1013: What, "Which fictional character would YOU want to be nursed through a heroin addiction with"?
Or just this conversation?

[livejournal.com profile] pearl_o: ...Both now!


Fox wants it noted for the record that her answer would be George or Izzie from Grey's Anatomy. Pretty and floppy and totally competent and qualified, woo!

clearly this is something i need to think through before i acquire a heroin addiction.

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it would help if it is a fictional heroin addiction, since they are fictional characters. (Unless, I suppose, you decide to choose a popslash or lotrips person. In which case it would still not be a real heroin addiction, but a fictional version based on a real heroin!)

*head explodes*

(also, if there is going to be a rent/ds crossover au thing, i want it to be the stella/joanne power couple of doom.)

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
...That's kind of hot.

[identity profile] marginalia.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm still thinking about it. maturin, maybe, he could probably empathize :P

Yeah, but then he'd get you addicted to something else!

actually, the best nurse in m&c is bonden :D

The classic is answer is "Starsky" who *canonically* nursed Hutch through heroin withdrawal, in one of the great slashy h/c eps of all time, "The Fix". Good times, people.

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
That is truly AWESOME.

[identity profile] corinna-5.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Dinah Lance, aka Black Canary. She canonically nursed Arsenal through the heroin addiction that gave him permanent bad-boy cred in the DCU, and she looks hot in fishnets. I'm just saying.

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Both of those seem to me to be very good qualifications!

I think the worst would be House, because unless you're Wilson or something, he'd just fuck off.

Though Wilson, I wouldn't mind.

Of course, Fraser would also be obligated to arrest you for drug use.

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure you can actually arrest someone for being a drug addict -- I think you actually have to see the use or possession or whatever. Plus, Fraser is way freakishly supportive of people who turning their life around! I think drug use might be one of the times where he gives a serious talk that makes you feel guilty and want to be a better person, instead of arresting you. Like in They Shoot Horses, Don't They? when the lady is going to kidnap her kids and flee social services.

Yeah, but if you've 'given' yourself a heroin addiction to have Fraser tend you. If you'd really fall into tragedy, he'd help you out, no problem.

Dr. Simon Tam! He would stroke my hair and tell me I was his beautiful sister heroin addict, and then people would write fic about our crazy heroin-addicted love.

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
AWWWWWW. It would be so sweet and yet wrong and yet LOVE. I approve!

[identity profile] kerrypolka.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Par for the Tam course, in other words! ;)

Dude, why must you keep commenting with awesome icons? It is DISTRACTING.

(Awww, Inara. <3.)

*waves sparkly Firefly fingers at you*

INARA IS ADORABLE!

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Inara is so underrated it makes me weep! Pretty snarky girl-sexing companion of my heart!

[identity profile] kerrypolka.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
I have wee feminist characterization issues with her, but in my head she is the conceptual Kick-Ass Space Hooker(!) and I really think that if Serenity were fuelled by Inara Snark, "Out of Gas" would never have even been an issue.

[identity profile] claire.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I totally had this ex boyfriend who was a total dweeb and he used to call his dick "Benny"

Probably why I just cannot get into RayV/Fraser at all ;)

Ahahahahaha. Thank you for sharing that story!

[identity profile] brooklinegirl.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
you guys are NUTTY and AWESOME.

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Go us!

[identity profile] fox1013.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I was thinking about this. If we are going to live together, we need to learn how to treat each other for fictional heroin overdoses.

I think mostly it involves playing the Rent soundtrack loudly and making friends with Bohemians? But I am not sure.

There should be guidebooks!

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
By "making friends", do you think that means we actually have to talk to them? Because that might be a problem.

[identity profile] fox1013.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...I don't know. That could be scary.

*frowns*

Do you think bohemians could fix our fuse box too?

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. It depends! Do they have electricity?

Mark has a hot plate...

[identity profile] friendhamster.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhm from Rent I am prolly gonna have to say I would want Maureen. Because GOD the hottness. And we are using Idina Menzel's Maureen, of course.

Otherwise... well actually I can't think otherwise now, because all I can see is Idina in that red tango dress. So I'll get back to you.

[identity profile] herowlness.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, it would have to be a hot guy who could entertain/distract me with dirty thoughts and ideas. And, he'd have to be nice and helpful and loving and ... yeah.

Maybe Charlie from Numb3rs? Or, um, Cassidy from VM?

[identity profile] herowlness.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, and Amy linked me over here, but the way, and I can't resist playing the fictional heroin addict with a fictional character nursing me back to health game. =)

[identity profile] sassygirl.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Two-Bit from the Outsiders, he's caring enough to look after you, funny enough to distract you and tough enough to scare off any former druggie friends.
And he likes Mickey Mouse cartoons, aww.

[identity profile] sassygirl.livejournal.com 2005-12-06 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
and he could steal me things I needed/wanted since he's skilled with his hands, hoho.

Lucy Diamond. Because, fuck, she's Lucy Fucking Diamond.

[identity profile] gothphyle.livejournal.com 2005-12-07 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Lex Luthor. Because who knows more about substance abuse? *g*

[identity profile] ishyface.livejournal.com 2005-12-07 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
My answer? JD and Turk from Scrubs.
Because they'd do World's Tallest Doctor for me as I went through withdrawal.
That would make everything alright, I think.

[identity profile] a2zmom.livejournal.com 2005-12-07 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want anyone to nurse me though my heroin withdrawal because I'd throw up on them and have skanky hair.


I have several people in mind though who could nurse me through that pesky sex addiction withdrawal.

[identity profile] global-soul.livejournal.com 2005-12-07 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hermione Granger. The brightest witch of her age (if she doesn't know how to avoid withdrawl/nurse through heroin addiction, only Dumbledore will and I'm certainly not going to him) and she's HOT. Need I say more?

And let the record show that were this an actual possibility, I would consider taking up a fictional heroin addicition.

[identity profile] thelatinist.livejournal.com 2005-12-07 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
I have to say Willow Rosenberg, because she would look all angsty and hott and would bring me tea and look hott. Plus she's been there.
