I'm spamming you here because it's convenient and I really should have mentioned this last night when I was nearly choking with laughter.


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 CRIIIIIIES

I THOUGHT OF YOU WHEN I RE-READ THAT SCENE, I'M NOT GONNA LIE. FEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGGGGGGGSSSSSSSS~~~~~

Re: Okay. Here we go. Also, HAHAHA I HIT THE COMMENT LIMIT LULZ. So, PART ONE.

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

OMG THAT MAKES ME REALLY FUCKING HAPPY, KNOWING THAT. ♥ ♥ ♥

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.

[regonym.livejournal.com]

Noooo, no Beckett in this, sadly. XDDD But fuck yeah, Cinderella with cobras! I feel sorry for the poor couples he was trying that out on.

Re: Okay. Here we go. Also, HAHAHA I HIT THE COMMENT LIMIT LULZ. So, PART ONE.

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

Fuck, I totally just spat tea like, everywhere.

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

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

HUUUUUNHHHH. HUUURRRRRRR. HEEEBEEHHEBEBH.

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.

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 nag beg ask politely for a side-story/sequel snippet one day.

Re: So I finished Into The Woods

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

OH GOOD. Because I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't flail like a maniac at you. It would just be SAD.

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

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

Spamming you. For a change.

I basically de-railed myself from epic recs by locating reni_days's Spencer/Brendon tag. It's... It's been a little embarrassing. If I remembered to get embarrassed about stuff.

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

[regonym.livejournal.com]

SHE IS AWESOME I WANT HER TO KEEP WRITING FOREVERRRRR.

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

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

FOR. EV. ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

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

[regonym.livejournal.com]

ages back you mentioned how William Beckett is in a lot of period-piece fic?

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]

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

Omg yaaaaay! Hm. Uber-bandom should be... interesting. Dude, I really really wish TAI wasn't so fucking mediocre. They have maybe three songs right now that I can actually listen to with any real enjoyment. Sigh... I just leave his stupid music videos on silent while I draw. It's weird.

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.

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

I lied. I just read the Buffy thing. And I nearly swallowed my tongue.

CAN I PLEASE HAVE MP3'S/VIDEOS OF ALL THE LISTED SONGS? PLEASE?

And Beckett's role in it all is a little... perfect. Idek. He's totally a wizard. A really fucking dumb one, but regardless. He rode the short train to Hufflepuff House

Oh. Oh fuck no. I'm not going to write this. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
