zolac_no_miko: (I am kind of strange.)
Does anyone remember this meme going around several months ago, "My fandom is really good at what I do" or "My fandom is really good at my job", or something of the sort? And everyone wrote AU fic where the characters of [FANDOM OF CHOICE] did whatever it is the author's real-life job is, and the point was to just dive right in and do as little 'splaining as possible? (I tried to go find this thing, but my Google-Fu has let me down.)

...Does anyone think it's been long enough since that happened that we could do it again? Because the last time it went around I really loved my job at the time, but it didn't really inspire me for fic, and anyway all of my fic-writing time and energy was wrapped up in That One Story, so I sort of let the meme pass me by. But now I have a different job and I'm done with Pō Pouli and all of a sudden I'm inspired and OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, I WANT TO DO THIS NOW, I have sooooo many ideas for Five-0 Does Hawaiian Forest Bird Ecology, CAN WE DO THIS MEME AGAIN, CAN WE? ...WHO'S WITH ME? Because I really want to write this thing but it feels dreadfully self-indulgent and silly and I would feel less ridiculous/embarrassed if I had some company. T_T

Anyway, it's about time for the Angela Reblogs Awesome Things Found By Cooler People post. GET READY TO GET RECC'D!

-First off, most importantly, "Shia LaBeouf" by Rob Cantor (on SoundCloud). LISTEN TO IT. OH MY GOD JUST TRUST ME YOU GUYS, IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU'VE HEARD ALL YEAR.

-Cover of LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" by Noah. Fair warning, you may abruptly find yourself encumbered with the UNCONTROLLABLE URGE TO HAVE SEX WITH THIS PERSON. I'm serious. Just... just wait until he starts singing. And playing his guitar. SO UNF.

Recs and amazing things continued under the cut to save your Flists; Bad Lip Reading, Japan, intense nerdiness, XMFC fic, article about Hawai‘i, and the very very best Avengers spam. )
zolac_no_miko: (I like this icon alot.)
So I have a whole pile of completely unrelated stuff to post about, and rather than spam you all with, like, eight different posts, I'm just going to cram things haphazardly into this one. It's going to be incredibly schizophrenic. ...Time to make a list!

-Fic rec! Found Where the Light Drowns by [livejournal.com profile] odditycollector. It's 1600 words of Batfic, Tim POV, but uh... even if you're not into Batfandom, maybe consider reading it anyway? All you need to know is Tim Drake is one of a series of Robins to Bruce Wayne's Batman, and his parents, like Bruce's and like most Robins, are dead. Anyway. This fic. It's beautiful and strange and takes the Batman mythos in an interesting direction. I kind of love it.

-Fic rec! Apple Seeds by [livejournal.com profile] pprfaith. 3700 words of X-Men: First Class fic, may be a little bit triggery (read the warnings) but... oh my god, so beautiful. And it made me think. And it made me see Charles in a completely different way. And it made me hurt a little. My heart is for serious broken now guys, and I completely love it. The insight in this piece... just, GUH. Read it already, what are you waiting for.

-...! Idk, does this count as a meme? The Geek Zodiac; I am Year of the Alien, what are you?

-Doctor Who! So there was that episode this evening. Um. I have such completely mixed feelings about it, I can't quite process. On the one hand, A LOT OF GREAT STUFF. On the other hand... too much stuff crammed into one episode? On the gripping hand... kind of poorly written, I thought; was surprised it was one of Moff's, although considering hand number one I guess I shouldn't have been. ...Basically nothing in the ep went at all like I would have predicted. And. The thing I want to say about Hitler which is kind of a spoiler. Fuck. EVERYTHING IS SPOILERS.

-H50 Season 2 trailer! )

-Video rec! )

-The icon meme! )

-That's it there is nothing else! I was going to post pictures and words pertaining to today's horseback riding adventure, but that's going to have to wait because I am LE TIRED.
