oscars, vids, FRASER

[schmerica]

This weekend was supposed to The Two Day Studying and Cleaning Extravaganza in My Apartment, but, uh. That didn't exactly happen. I did get my homework assignments for tomorrow finished, but not the extra studying I meant to do, nor did any cleaning at all get done. Instead, uh, I kind of read though all the newbie memories from the vidding community and spent the last three days fucking around with virtual dub and windows movie maker. It is kind of strangely captivating! And also I am strangely proud of myself. Like, I'm never going to be able to cook a five course gourmet meal, but now I know what the oven looks like!

Requisite post-Oscar thoughts: disappointed about Best Picture, happy about Best Actress, indifferent to everything else.

I didn't like Rachel McAdam's dress from the science and tech awards; she kind of had the whole same-color-for-skin-and-hair-and-clothes thing going on. But this picture (which is massive) is FREAKING ADORABLE.

So. How are you all doing today, my lovelies? I am feeling the Fraser love today (yes, even more than normal, shut up). Tell me something you adore about him! Share the love!

Apart from the obvious beauty, I love how he's so patient and willing to do anything to help someone, especially those who can't help themselves. I love how he tries to do the right thing even if it gets his ass in trouble with the other cops. I love how he talks to his dog, his father, and to his partner RayK. I just love Fraser.

ZOMGCUMBERBUND!! *flails*

...I am so full of Busy/Michelle love that I have no room for any other love.

Except for you! I love you!

SO I AM EXCELLENT.

Hee.

He looks hotter than any man should in worn-out, casual clothing. Possibly because he rarely wears it.

Not that I am putting down the uniform. I AM NEVER PUTTING DOWN THE UNIFORM.

they are SO CUTE it hurts. (but yes, that was an unfortunate dress. It would have been cute as a tank top)

[rhythmsextion]

Uhm. The mouth. Though, that might be more a Paul Gross thing, I'm not sure.

Less superficially... I just love his heart. His kindness. Because he honestly thinks the very best of everyone, even when he's been wronged. He knows there's good in everybody, but he's not too nauseating about it.

Last night I watched Hawk and Handsaw. And, aw, Fraser. Because he is so earnest and sincere and wants to help people so much, if there's anything at all he can do to help he must do it.

And isn't it a sad commentary on society that when he behaves absolutely Fraser-like and answers every question truthfully, he's committed to the mental hospital?

And, he looks hot in his brown uniform.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

I watched H&H yesterday afternoon! I thought it was really interesting that he went with "government conspiracy" instead of "seeing my dead father" for the interview. And where was Bob, anyway? Hmpf.

::brown uniform love::

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Well, he only first started seeing his dead father two episodes before (which I also saw recently! Great episode) so maybe it hadn't sunk in yet?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

Oooooh! I didn't realize that! I'll have to check that one out next. (God, if I could just watch them in order, I'd be so much saner.)

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Haha, I am totally not watching them in order. I'm watching the ones my flist recced me in some post I made a while back, and I'm sort of jumping back and forth between the Vecchio and Kowalski seasons. And so far it seems to make absolutely no difference.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

And so far it seems to make absolutely no difference.

Good to know, because if I don't watch a Kowalski episode every now and then, I get a little light-headed, some shortness of breath, that whole thing. I couldn't stand to watch two whole seasons without him in a ROW. I love me some Vecchio, but Kowalski-free doesn't work either.

And isn't it a sad commentary on society that when he behaves absolutely Fraser-like and answers every question truthfully, he's committed to the mental hospital?

I thought he was purposely choosing the details he gave them to make it sound like he was insane. I mean, "some men who were dressed in white came after me with homicidal intentions"? But then, I've always been a fan of the idea that a lot of Fraser's apparent naivete is on some level an act, especially post-S1.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. But he didn't lie, not one bit! That was what amused me so much.

[anathema666.livejournal.com]

My favourite thing about Fraser is his compulsive lip lick. Just... GAAAAHHHH!!!!

*runs in circles*

OK, his obsessively honest and forthright boyscout thing would probably get really old really fast if he actually existed, but because he's fictional, it makes it all OK. He's pretty, smart, disciplined, ethical, compassionate, brave, HAWT, and has a strong sense of his own identity, yet he's got these gaping emotional flaws that make him human and vulnerable and just the yummiest thing I have ever seen on TV.

I've worn out my DS tapes. I should invest in the DVDs.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, that icon just made my DAY. (Also, at Best Buy, the DVDs are, like, 20 bucks. SO WORTH IT.)

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Awww, FRASER LOVE! Not enough Fraser love going around, I say, so I yay this post!

Now, why the Fraser love. He is such a NUTCASE, but he is such a GOOD and SINCERE nutcase, and he has a dark side that he hides pretty damn well, but it's never NOT there. I love that. We saw it come out with Victoria (we did, I tell you) and we saw it in episodes like "Bird in the Hand" and even "Dead Men Don't Throw Rice". I love his flaws, too, because it makes him human and vulnerable, but oh, Fraser! Such love for him. I melt with love of Fraser.

Have a woobie Fraser.

[lilac-one.livejournal.com]

One of the (many!!) things I love about Fraser is that at first you think he's a totally by the book, never lie kind of guy. Except he's not. He's got depth, yo. And he totally lies all the time (see the whole Lady Shoes thing in Odds, Asylum, and Dead Guy Running, just to name three off the top of my head). In the name of justice, of course, but lies just the same.

Plus, he is such a snarky bitch when he's with someone with whom he's comfortable (see Ray and Ray in just about any episode).

Lastly, because I am shallow, have you looked at the man? Hotter. than. a. Really. Hot. Thing. And also adorkable.

I just friended you, BTW. Wow, you have some very hot picspam goin' on here.

Things I love about Fraser: his blue plaid flannel shirt. GUH. His red flannel shirt. GUUUUUUH. His rare scruffy semi-beard. *faints* Well, Fraser wearing pretty much anything is teh GUH. And I too love the snark.

[lorem_ipsum]

His total obliviousness, confusion, discomfort, etc when women hit on him.

The big-eyed Mountie look.

The way he tilts his head.

Suspenders!

[mergatrude.livejournal.com]

The way he's so very, very hot when he's badass! Whipping the gun off Frankie Drake. Pointing the gun at Gerrard. BOOT to the CHEST!

Restraining Greta Garbo. Stopping Wallace in MOTB (gun, again).

[taeli.livejournal.com]

(I'm only just on the second episode of season 3 and am watching them in order so most of my favorite things about Fraser are RayK deficient.)

Fraser Love: the obliviousness to women, that he sticks to his beliefs even when everyone else around him doesn't, that he doesn't seem to take things for granted, the way he and Vecchio interact, especially in Red, White or Blue (when they're having a conversation with each other while they're each at separate homes), that he licks random things, when he says "thank you kindly" or "understood" to people, that he looks downright gorgeous in blue, and "She shot my hat, Ray."

[china_shop]

I love how he cries in Victoria's Secret, desperately holding himself together but unable to hold it in. And before that, lighting all those candles as though he could summon her, just by wishing it so.

Also the moment when she knocks on his door, and says, "Did you think we could pretend it didn't happen?" and he's young and vulnerable and brimming with guilt, and he buries his hands in her fur coat.

And when he's sarcastic to Dief. And in The Wild Bunch, when he asks Dief if Dief really wanted to come to Chicago with him.

And in Eclipse when he tells Ray, "You could've had plastic surgery."

Oh, and in The Man Who Knew Too Little, when he says they keep dogsleds at the border, and Ray says, "Really?" and Fraser just giggles (and I think is totally out of character, but I love it anyway). And in Pizza and Promises when he tells the old lady that he drove the car to Africa and she says, "Really?" and he says, "No."

Oh. AND. At the end of Diefenbaker's Day Out, when MacKenzie King is walking away and he does that knowing little smile to himself. I watched that a number of times.

Is that enough? :)

[blueswan9.livejournal.com]

I love Fraser's hat and suspenders, and the plaid when he is hanging off the phone pole. I love that moment in Letting Go when he says, "I have two axes. Two." and drifts off. Oh, and singing in North with Ray." The kick in The Deal. There are so many moments that exemplify Fraser.

I like his stubborness, his courage, his need to serve and protect, how he stands up for others, and his belef in justice. I love that he doesn't give up, and that he is always looking for answers. I love his attempts to get to know his father through his journals, and I adore his snarkiness with dead!Bob once he shows up. I love his sense of humour - bobbing for trout! eggplant! cauliflower.

[justbreathe80.livejournal.com]

Oh man, the boot to the chest. That whole episode is pretty much non-stop, a-little-out-of-control Fraser HOTNESS. And the gune in MOTB...yeah, I dig badass!Fraser. *g*
