saturday morning babbling!

[schmerica]

So, SGA! Um, I thought it kind of sucked, although there were a lot of really cute moments. Still better than Siege III, though! (Also, oh, Torri Higginson, honey. I love you already, but really: you don't have to try so incredibly hard!)

Comics -- I've just began Young Justice, and so far it's really not clicking with me at all. Wacky hijinks are all good and well, but I get bored super quickly if it feels like the characters aren't being taken seriously. That's sort of the reason I could never get into the Justice League cartoon when Livia was pimping it, even though it was an entertaining show -- I just need to feel like the characters are real, fully formed people, and I can't do that when the focus is so far elsewhere.

Is there anything better than AIM conversations where you mention a fic idea to your partner and it proceeds to eat the poor girl's brain right in front of you? I THINK NOT.

Two small portions of chat from last night:

ficbyzee: *dies* okay, I was telling thete1 that you'd been reading comics, and liked Roy--
ficbyzee: 'See, she should be into Bruce. He's so FRASERY'
pearl_o: ........
pearl_o: Oh, Te.
pearl_o: That's a comparison I would never have come up with a million gazillion years.
ficbyzee: I am giggling. a lot.
pearl_o: I think that is just a sign that Te's Fraser is several degrees more fucked up than mine!
pearl_o: and by "degrees" I mean "miles".

--

pearl_o: I am trying to pace myself with what I read, since there is so much I haven't gotten to in the comics, but. Uh. ROYS! ARROWS! *love = searching for fic*
pearl_o: ...Roy is not plural.
pearl_o: At least not in any comics I have read yet.
thete1: *dies*
thete1: I fully believe that, somewhere in the Golden Age, there exists an issue of *something* with Multiroy.
pearl_o: I am willing to believe just about anything exists in comics somewhere!

[info]thete1: I fully believe that, somewhere in the Golden Age, there exists an issue of *something* with Multiroy.

I'm sure this isn't a stretch. I mean, Roy was a centaur once, why couldn't he have, I don't know, spontaneously multiplied himself at the same time?

WHY NOT INDEED.

*puts it in the pile of things to bug people to write me eventually*

Actually...

You know, it works.

Benton Fraser, had he been born to wealth and power may have chosen the Batman route for justice.

And Bruce Wayne, had he grown up in a canadian shack, might well have joined the Mounties.

IT's really a question of resources.

Plus? I can totally see Batman and Victoria. Totally.

I do have scans of that issue where Batman and Robin fight crime with the RCMP. I think they made him an honorary Mountie. It was kind of amazing.

COMICS FANDOM MUST YOU BLOW MY MIND EVERY FIVE MINUTES. MY GOD I CAN'T EVEN DEAL.

granted, that doesn't even qualify as 'a bit odd' for golden/silver age batman. you need a whole other brain to deal with that stuff.

so switch yours out and have fun! (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/162487.html) oh, mounties, is there nothing you cannot make hilarious?
