Date: 2010-12-22 09:38 pm (UTC)Bwahahahaha! Yeahhh, it's a future fic for a reason. XD But it makes me kind of sad, 'cause as I was reading I was like, 'these albums sound awesome! ...and I will never get to listen to them. DDD:'
I'm already halfway through Into the Woods again. >>;

Date: 2010-12-23 02:47 am (UTC)AHAHAH I totally lied last night. I managed to read through Never Did Run Smooth real fast (I neeeeed to clear out some of these tabs before I go insane from window-overload srsly) before getting really twitchy and spending the next six hours drawing this insanely detailed prom king/undead overlord thing for Ange. Which I stayed at work until almost 11 to finish. Fuck my life. And speaking of which, that fic. LOLLLL OH FRANKIE. Sometimes it feels a little weird how people write him as this obnoxious-little-kid caricature, but whatever. Bob's list of juvenile pranks nearly made me pee, I was laughing so hard, culminating in them getting together and Frank being all OMG I AM AWESOME and Bob locking him in the bathroom and stealing/ruining his pants.
Approval.

Date: 2010-12-23 08:29 am (UTC)Ooooh, will you scan it when you're done? I wanna see~
I'm glad you liked NDRS!
Re: Okay. Here we go. Also, HAHAHA I HIT THE COMMENT LIMIT LULZ. So, PART ONE.
Date: 2010-12-23 05:39 pm (UTC)Oh, and I really wanna watch him and Ryan Ross make out. Because I think it'd be HILARIOUS and someone might get an eye poked out by an elbow or shoulder or some shit.
...Or I could go look at lesbian porn. It'd amount to roughly the same thing. He looks like a drag king.

Date: 2010-12-23 06:20 pm (UTC)LOLOL they would totally kill each other by accident. XD
I wish I had a slew of Beckett recs for you, but I've just never gotten into TAI as much as the other three. William tends to show up as a side character in a lot of stories I've seen, but I've only read one or two that had him as a central character, and neither story was particularly rec-worthy.
So, I'm going to link you to this instead! This person is one of my truffle-hunting bandom fic folks, and while I don't necessarily like 100% of what she saves, she has generally good taste. It's already filtered to show you her TAI tags - although you may still want to double check to see if William's main in a given fic, because there's a lot of multi-band fics out there where he prolly only has a teeny role.
And dude, I ran across this while scoping out her TAI bookmarks - The Complete Timeline of Everything That Has Ever Happened in Bandom Ever. It's kind of intimidatingly complete. O.O
Re: Okay. Here we go. Also, HAHAHA I HIT THE COMMENT LIMIT LULZ. So, PART ONE.
Date: 2010-12-23 06:33 pm (UTC)Oh hey, it's all good. I don't care entirely much, but I thought the excuse of at least imagining him move would be something to keep me occupied. I found one with an awesome, AWESOME title (I Will Destroy Ryan Ross and All That He Loves: A Cautionary Tale, but the execution is a little sloppy.
Sweet! I'll totally poke through the Delicious thingy. I'm not terribly invested in TAI, or even Beckett, for that matter. Just. Maybe what I need to do is mute YouTube and just watch videos all day while listening to music by people who can actually compose lyrics. (Oh BURN, that's right. ...I like his voice, just. His lyrics and musicality are so flat after the onslaught that is MCR and FOB. And basically everything else I listen to.)
Mother of fuck, that timeline is sort of alarming. I wish there was more than mostly just tour dates for later years, though.

And Bill. Oh, William. We really really need to stage that v-neck intervention before someone gets hurt. Or kidnapped by transvestites in a dark alley.
The video clip of Patrick was probably my favorite part. ♥

Re: Okay. Here we go. Also, HAHAHA I HIT THE COMMENT LIMIT LULZ. So, PART ONE.
Date: 2010-12-24 06:45 pm (UTC)Oh- Ohmygawd. I CAN'T EVEN. AAAAHPATRICK! Joe is pretty adorable, too, but just. PATRICK!

Date: 2010-12-24 10:42 pm (UTC)Brendon peeks up at Gerard, who's giving him a thoroughly confused look. He pouts, and lolls his head back on Gerard's shoulder despondently. "You don't understand my pain. My deep, sensitive man-pain. I have to go write some very moving song lyrics now. I might draw sad pictures on my face. You don't know."
"Shut up," Gerard says, though Brendon can feel his shoulders starting to shake with laughter as he starts trying to push Brendon of of him. "Oh my god, fucking shut up, that's it, I'm never sharing anything with anyone ever again."
"You're a rock! You're an i-i-i-island!" Brendon retaliates, lifting his head up enough to give Gerard a wide grin. He clings like a limpet, not letting Gerard shrug him off, grabbing onto his flailing arms and tugging them back around himself. "Islands can cuddle, what the fuck."
"You've taken my poor fragile feelings and crushed them. Like, like eggshells," Gerard tells him matter-of-factly, obviously attempting to hide his smile.
"Sad eggshells. Eggshells that have had the egg sucked out of them, so now they're hollow," Brendon adds cheerfully.
"Seriously, I'm like. I'm fucking broken on the inside now. Awesome."
OH. MY. GOD. GERARD. JUST.
Accuracy.
That's really all I can say about this.
Accuracy.
Bonus points for the Simon and Garfunkel reference, especially since me and Ange use the exact same song to convey our SUPER-ADULT EMOTIONS at each other.
A ROCK FEELS NO PAIN. AND AN ISLAND NEVER CRIIIIIIESRe: Okay. Here we go. Also, HAHAHA I HIT THE COMMENT LIMIT LULZ. So, PART ONE.

Date: 2010-12-24 11:32 pm (UTC)FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS, GUYS. GERARD FUCKING WAY HAS SOME FEEEEEELINGS IN HIM AND HE'D REALLY LIKE YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THEM AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.
I'm on Cinderella now. Dude, fucking Fairy Godfather Saporta. GODDDDD lol. As soon as the birds and the bells showed up and I was all AHAHAH CINDERELLA GO! my next thought was, OHSHIT WHO DID SHE CAST AS THE FAIRY GODPERSON. So yeah. Fucking Gabe Saporta in a violently purple hoodie. Just. Yeah.
should I be anticipating any Beckett action ever?Re: Okay. Here we go. Also, HAHAHA I HIT THE COMMENT LIMIT LULZ. So, PART ONE.

Date: 2010-12-25 02:41 am (UTC)CINDERELLA WITH COBRAS WOULD BE SO FUCKING BADASS.
Oh, and Little Mermaid is fucking killing me. Because I know the real story. The not-Disney one. That Brendon obvs also knows. And it's SAAAAAD. ...This pleases me greatly. I need to stop taking pictures of myself with laser-gun bananas long enough to finish this fucker.
So I finished Into The Woods
Date: 2010-12-25 06:45 pm (UTC)Okay, so like. It had it's... moments. Where I was all, uh wtf just happened that smells like a plot-hole. BUT FUCK THAT. Dude, okay. So Anatomy Of A Fall still kills for tops in my hierarchy of Ginormous Scary Fics Of Doom, maybe baaarely tied with Unholy, but this is probs like, right up there. Give it a day to gestate. And it's pretty much all thanks to the Little Mermaid thing at the end. I was SO HOPING. And she did it. And they did. And Spencer did. And Brendon did. And then with the knife. And SEAFOAM. And just. OH MY GOD, HANS CHRISTIAN MOTHERFUCKING ANDERSON, WHY DO YOU ROCK MY WORLD SO? (Sorry, uh. In case it wasn't apparent, this is sort of my favorite fairytale EVER. So. Yeah. Also I haven't slept in awhile and my head is full of Fruit Loops.) But yeah, it was TOTALLY sappy but TOTALLY like, justifiably so, you know? It wasn't gross, it wasn't overdone. It was fucking awesome and TRAGIC and duh, they weren't gonna die, but fuck that- TRAGEDY. IT'S KIND OF LIKE MY BATTERY.
And so, like, I'm reading the end of it at work last night, right? Only, I was working with Pam, who's... Uh. She's kind of like that really hyperactive puppy that the workaholic gets and then leaves home alone for eighteen hours a day in the dark, so when you put her near someone she likes, she kind of goes... scary. She kept TOUCHING me and like... It was weird. Okay, anyway, she was doing basically what I'm doing RIGHT NOW which is start going with the mouth-noises and just DIDN'T STOP. Ever. So I have my headphones in STEADFASTLY TRYING TO LISTEN TO THE SECOND HALF OF PRETTY.ODD. TO GET ME THROUGH 9C. And she's talking and talking and I was seriously about to, idek. Run out to my car and finish it just so I could get all emotionally wrought and savor it ALOOOONE. Nnngh. She finally subsided, though, and I finished it and just basked quietly in the DRAMAMAMAMAMA. And of course, Gerard and Frank (FRANNNNK! XD) and Gabe.
So I liked it.
Should I stop giving you these epic reaction-tags? Seriously.
Re: So I finished Into The Woods
Date: 2010-12-26 06:57 am (UTC)NEVAR.
Haaaaa, yes, I loved that Brendon knew exactly what was coming. HOW SO ANGSTY, HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON. Oh boys.
I am a little sad that we never got to see Frank and Gerard's ~renuion~, perhaps I shall
nagbegask politely for a side-story/sequel snippet one day.Re: So I finished Into The Woods
Date: 2010-12-26 08:12 am (UTC)Yeah, yeah that made me happy. Like, I felt it coming right when Spencer is all, "LOL DO YOU NEED A DINGLEHOPPER?" Which cracked my shit up. But at the same time it was like, LOOMING DOOOOOOOOM. So yeah. AWESOME. Major points for that.
Dude, me too! I really wanted to see that. HAPPY DICK-TOUCHING TIMES! 8D
Actually, I just want to see them flail all over each other. NnnnnghGUH. You should definitely harass her.
Oh, and. Recent conversation that made me think of you:
[watching the I'm Not Okay video]
"That one's Frank? With the hair?"
"No. That's Ray. Frank is the one with the... tiny. On the floor."
Re: So I finished Into The Woods
Date: 2010-12-30 05:53 pm (UTC)I basically de-railed myself from epic recs by locating
ANYWAY.
I read Hand Me Down, which I loooooved (and kind of identified with maybe a little/a lot because holy shit that was SO my first year in Chicago. The shitty apartment. Not under the bridge. BUT IT WAS CLOSE.), and I reread the high school au one she did in comment-fic with SPENCER SMITH, ARE YOU GAY YET!?!? because ohgod just. I can't even.
And then all the porn.
Re: So I finished Into The Woods
Date: 2010-12-31 02:16 am (UTC)YAY I'm glad you liked HMD, that's one of my favorites of hers. ♥ Have you read Accidentally In Love, too? That's another one of hers I really like. I like all her stuff, really.
Re: So I finished Into The Woods
Date: 2010-12-31 09:17 am (UTC)Yeah, I really liked it, actually. Like, it was heavy enough without being gross, you know? She does that well. I appreciate it.
Its funny you mention that one, because it was right there next on my list. And I loved it. Of course. Especially the whole, "You're my favorite" conversation. And just. All of it. O HAI MR BECKETT. MR SAPORTA.
Of course, all of her Beckett cameos. They are abundant and perfect and I think it's hilarious how even if she doesn't mention his name, it's like REALLY FUCKING OBVS. Oh, speaking of which- ages back you mentioned how William Beckett is in a lot of period-piece fic? (I mean, duh. Seriously.) I'm curious.
Re: So I finished Into The Woods
Date: 2010-12-31 09:59 pm (UTC)Hmmmm, well, as I recall after poking through my TAI fics, that was mainly based on reading this fic (I found it kind of meh simply because it was SO MULTI-BANDOM that it was getting into bands that I had no idea who anyone was, so I had a harder time getting into it - but Beckett's central in it and it's cute, so I'd recommend checking it out, at least.).
And I guess I actually do have a few other Beckett recs:
Spread is a nice character piece, and is AU.
A Little More Room To Live - is a halfway-decent high school AU (>D).
And for my grand finale, Reni Days once wrote this AWESOMESAUCE commentfic thing that was sorta like a bandom-riff in the style of the musical episode of Buffy. YEP. It's friends-locked now sadly but I archived a copy, thankfully. It's short but full of amazing, and Beckett's in it.
[TAI recs quickref]
Date: 2010-12-31 10:26 pm (UTC)OH. MYGAWD. Okay, I'm going to read the Reni fic while I paint my nails later. Just. Buffy. Once More With Feeling. OhgodYES. And on that note, please please tell me you've read what I'm referring to now as THIS IS MY FAVORITE FANFIC EVER (-R. Ross).
Oh hey, and. Cheesy, silly bandfic is like, possibly the best thing EVER to use as a breather for reading psychotherapy research journals until 6am. This is going to serve me invaluably in grad school. I predict it.
