memes and .... other stuff

[schmerica]

Today I learned a really important lesson, you guys. I don't know what I'd do without fangirls.

Apparently "pearling" is a word for a particularly out-there crazy deviant sex kink. I want you all to think about this very carefullly, and feel free to tell me your wildest guesses about what it might be before you click on this link.

(Not safe for work! SO NOT SAFE FOR WORK OH MY GOD.)

Between that and the classic pearl necklace, I'm starting to feel a little sorry for my tiny underaged fangirl self who chose this name. At 17, it seemed like a really good idea! It could always be worse, though. It's not like I'm "Spunkgirl" or something.

Here, have some memes:

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write AND give me another time period (Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc.) OR give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc.). I will then explain what story from that fandom I would AU in that era.

And now tell me what OTPs we share!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

[drunktuesdays.livejournal.com]

TOO BAD IT IS ONE WITH NO FIC! LIFE, YOU ARE NOT PLEASING IN THIS REGARD.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

OBVIOUSLY YOU NEED TO MAKE IMP WRITE US MORE!

[drunktuesdays.livejournal.com]

*puts it on my "To Nag For" list*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

\o/!!!

I bet she could even do it with Ray/Mikey in the background somehow.

[impertinence.livejournal.com]

lol thinks I would do it without Ray/Mikey in the background somehow.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*beams*

[liketheroad.livejournal.com]

Ahem. It's possible I am suddenly filled with a craving for some kind of a pioneer AU where Mikey and Gerard are bachelors TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK in the New Country and Frank is like... their hired hand?

What. I'm from the prairies.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Hee. Dude, you just filled in all the stuff you were supposed to ask me for!

[liketheroad.livejournal.com]

I know! I fail so very hard. I'm TIRED. That is my very valid excuse.

Bandom in the 51st Century?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It would be just like bandom now, except everybody gets to have sex with Jack! \o/

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

We share Gerard/Mikey! Where's that one?

Other than that, only three! And I don't really ship Pete/Mikey, but I enjoy them when they happen to be in a fic with Frank/Gerard.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I love Gerard/Mikey a lot, but I can't quite say I ship them. My boundaries are fuzzy!

[rain206.livejournal.com]

I don't know what I was expecting when I clicked that link but it sure as hell wasn't that. So much do not want, oh my god.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I was expecting something to do with knitting. I mean. Sex. But knitting.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yes.

[neery.livejournal.com]

I'm desperately craving bandslash slavery AU. Sadly, I can't even make it work in my own head enough so I can write it. Tell me what you would do?

I thought "pearling" was going to be a variant on the good old pearl necklace, except maybe more full-body, but no. EW EW EW OUCH YUCK WHY CAN'T I UNSEE THAT?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, I was just talking with someone the other day about how my dream bandom slavery AU was this whole h/c epic with Gerard and Ray being slaves together. Mikey was with them, too, but he got sold away to a different place. And Gerard keeps hope that he'll come back, and they'll all be together and escape to be free, but Ray knows better. And Gerard is kind of a sucky slave, but Ray takes care of him all the time. It is glorious.

[onneonlights.livejournal.com]

(i would just like to point out, first, that before i friended you i had literally NO OPINION on ray/gerard, and now i'm all \o/!! in their direction!)

anyway, yeah, you should explain about pete/mikey going TIME TRAVELLING.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

TIME TRAVELLING! I have to admit, I am totally just imagining Pete as the Doctor now. Weird, awesome, bizarrely needy! It totally works! Mikey is the companion he latches onto and makes come and keep him company forever. Can you imagine Mikey as a companion? Most unimpressed at the glories of the universe ever. Pete would keep trying to top himself to get a reaction. The unicorn things on planet whateverthefuck finally gets Mikey giddy, though.

Also they have lots of Tardis-sex.

(Also, I beam in your general direction re: Ray/Gerard!!!)

[onneonlights.livejournal.com]

ahaha that would be AMAZING. why does it not exist already?!

[modillian.livejournal.com]

re: "pearling" - ... :( Yeah, brain bleach is still a hot commodity around the internets. :\

On a happier note YAY BRIAN/GERARD!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Brian/Gerard - <333333333

[sloganeer.livejournal.com]

Wait, Dave/Lisa as in NewsRadio? I should have clicked that!

Tell me about the NewsRadio high school AU.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Dave/Lisa were the first couple I shipped before I even knew what shipping was. I remember being really angry in eighth grade when the show went off the air and they hadn't gotten back together because OMG THEY WERE MEANT TO BE.

The high school AU would be totally epic. Lisa would be the crazy academic overachiever who's in like seven different clubs and never has time to actually sleep because she's busy studying and running around. Dave is a giant nerd who likes D&D and sf and fantasy and Star Wars and has a hopeless crush on her. Unfortunately everytime he comes close to actually interacting with her, he's accompanied by either Matthew, the freshman who has decided they're best friends, who usually does something incredibly spastic and embarrassing that manages to make Dave look stupid, or by Bill, who says something totally obnoxious, sexist and/or insulting, that makes Dave look like a douche just for hanging around with him. (Dave is not sure why he's friends with Bill.)

[speshope.livejournal.com]

It is very hard for me to do this AU Meme! So many choices! Medieval Monestary!AU!

[overloved.livejournal.com]

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

:( Sorry, dude. When I give warnings, I really mean them!

[overloved.livejournal.com]

you said it wasn't work safe. not that is was the worst image ever.

[myaurasmiles.livejournal.com]

Which Batgirl and which Robin?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

All permutations of the same! I have a special fondness for early Babs/Dick, Cass/Tim, and Cass/Steph, but seriously: ANY of them.

[myaurasmiles.livejournal.com]

I'm all for Babs/Dick. :D

[soundslikej.livejournal.com]

WHY DO I STILL CLICK ON LINKS FROM YOU?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

GOOD QUESTION

[ubixtiz.livejournal.com]

Is it in any way related to the "pearl" vibrators (http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-2-AL-BE03)? Maybe like, wearing pearls around the penis as a sex aid? No, why would that be crazy out-there? I don't know. *goes to look*

[ubixtiz.livejournal.com]

Hee! That is kind of scarily not unlike the vibrators? Except not made of elastomer and therefore more on the crazy out-there side. Intriguing.

[kerrypolka.livejournal.com]

Due South! Napoleonic wars!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I am totally imagining Ray and Fraser as soldiers trooping through, like, the Iberian Peninsula. Ray is all war-weary but Fraser is still ... Fraser, and they travel through all these Spanish towns where the war has ruined the lives of the poor residents, and Ray is all *is cynical* and Fraser is all *wants to help improve their lives* and in some town there is a big celebration with music and dancing and stuff and Ray and Fraser have an intense moment of staring into each other's eyes that doesn't go anywhere, of course, but makes them awkward around each other in the future. And then a couple days later there is a big skirmish with some Frenchies in the mountains and Ray is injured, oh noes! And Fraser freaks out. :(

Also Frannie is a laundress who wisecracks.

[siryn99.livejournal.com]

I should tell you, wikpedia gives a slightly different definition of pearling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearling)...

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearling_%28body_modification%29 is pretty much what the link I gave was saying.

[siryn99.livejournal.com]

When I went to the link last night, the blog was down. So I just just put "pearling" into the wiki search and was *very* surprised at the fourth definition that popped up. It wasn't until just now that I saw the body mod version.

[roguewords.livejournal.com]

You know you want to tell me all about the John/Aeryn bandom AU.

y/y?

[rilee16.livejournal.com]

::on public computer::

Is it the thing where they insert beads into the genitalia? Because we watched the unedited version of a movie on body modification in my Transgender Studies class, and there was literally a body piercer sitting and giving an interview, who nonchalantly dropped trou, jabbed a hole in his dick, and started putting a bead in, all while talking about how he first did it to himself when he was doing time, just to see what it was like.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

That was an EXCELLENT guess! Go you!
