Eliyes

And an excerpt from a logfile of chatting with kiffie yesterday:

kiffie: Also, Namor - Asshole = never meeting Betty or Jim.
eliyes: Betty would have carried on, her life a bit less rich and weird, but Jim
eliyes: Jim needs Namor
eliyes: as a rival and compatriot and friend
kiffie: Yes.
eliyes: as someone else who doesn't entirely understand the people around him in a way that merely being from another country doesn't cover
kiffie: Yep.
eliyes: and as someone to demonstrate things like the passion Namor has
kiffie: And, for his part, Namor functions pretty well without Jim, but he's happy when he's around that doofy firebot.
kiffie: Steve has lots of passion, but it's fairly one-direction and typically not to the visible extremes that Namor gets to. :V
kiffie: Namor will crush a steel door in his bare hands just because he's excited about bagels. :V

Then we got distracted by Namorita and cupcakes, but -- my point is, sometimes it's like life is an ongoing dialogue with the universe about the relationships between comic book characters.

kiffie: Toro, Toro, Toro... Your whole "I can't get drunk, I burn through alcohol" excuse only works if you're on fire
eliyes: Toro: but then the alcohol doesn't make it to my mouth
eliyes: to be fair, he can sober up quickly by bursting into flames!
eliyes: on the other hand, situations where it seems like a good idea to a drunk guy to burst into flames, are, uh....
kiffie: *horrible laughter*
kiffie: Jim: *totally not laughing (seriously laughing) beenface*
eliyes: Jim: We're very sorry.
Toro: My insurance will be in touch about repairing the... everything
kiffie: 21st Century must hate you guys.

Thank you kiffies~~~~~~

Namore the Sub-Mariner, daughter of Atlantean princess Len and human ship-captain Ferdinand McKenzie
Bertrand "Bertie" Dean, NYPD cop
The Human Torch, aka Jane Hammond, NYPD cop
Zina the Flaming Girl, aka Thomasina Raymond
Bucky, aka Jemima "Jemmy" Barnes (people think Bucky's a boy)
Captain America, aka Stephanie Rogers (people know Cap's a woman)
Union Jack (II), aka Jonathan "Jack" Falsworth (his sister calls him Jackie-boy)
Destroyer, aka Brianna Falsworth
Dyna-Mite, aka Rachel Aubrey

Okay, so Namore was a typo of Namora, but you know, I kinda like it? Can we keep it?

Title: Roger Aubrey and the Gingerbread Menace
Timing: Present
Summary: Expanding on the gingerbread men thing previously mentioned in Yule: Preparation Is Key.
A/N: Please note that "expanding on" is not the same thing as "explaining". ;3


( Roger Aubrey's Christmas tree decorations had a clear theme: gingerbread men. )

THIS HAS BEEN MY DAY

Actually a pretty good film! If the trailers I saw when it was in theatres had had more of "Bruce Banner runs from the Army and seeks a cure" and less "BLARRR ABOMINATION BLARRR" I might have watched it sooner.

Seriously, it made me like Bruce Banner and Betty Ross, something the comics have never entirely succeeded with. And like them together, as friends and partners and a couple. They were so caring of each other, gentle but strong in their convictions and love. I liked it. The special effects and pre-Abomination fight scenes were pretty good.

I'm glad "Mr. Blue" didn't turn out to be Reed Richards, gotta say.

Need to track down the short that expands on that scene at the end with Ross and Stark, and the other one, "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor's Hammer". Coulson! :D

I'll probably rewatch the Cap movie tonight or tomorrow. Planning to go see The Avengers Thursday (please no spoilers!), so I gotta prep! Probably skim a synopsis of the second Iron man movie while I'm at it.

Okay, so, his wife's name is Yashawini, and his daughters are Manthika and Bhairavi. Manthika is eldest, Bhairavi was the one whose wedding Shallan attended. There may or may not be a son as well, but I'm not sure. I need to name bridegroom, I suppose, and then I can finally write the fic!

Which will possibly also involve chat about Glenn's tat, since Shallan will be doing a comparison with henna. *interested antennae*

Comfort Food (SG-1, Teal'c being awesome and cooking)

Inundation (SGA, team + Zelenka & others stranded)

Voyage par Mer (This is big and plotty and revolves around the idea that Rodney McKay and Grant Jansky are cousins. Grant is another character David Hewlett played, in the Canadian series Traders. He's brilliant and sweet and broken. You can see some of his first appearence on youtube. Not seen in that: Grant's hugginess. This fic also has John and Carson. There's some Special Ops John happening, very ruthlessly violent, but man I do not blame him. There's also sequelae but they're not as strong, I feel... probably because they're a WIP for one big sequel.)

Next rec: I, Rodney. As you can probably guess from the title, Rodney is a robot in this one. It works really well, starting with the beginning of the SGA series (John and Rodney get off on the wrong foot), leap frogs regularly between "present" and "Rodney's past" but with multiple povs. We get a lot of interesting stuff with Rodney & Jeannie, as well. It was posted in five parts, and they all link at the bottom to the next, but here: One Two Three Four Five

Some fluffy fics from kisahawklin:
Blanket Fort
Musical Chairs (I like this one especially for John's incredulousness over people thinking he and Rodney are/should be a couple. I've been in that friendship.)
Sprawl (Team + Woolsey n'aww)

A Not So Small Life (Brief character study of John.)

Some moments from John & Rodney's friendship in Like Butch and Sundance, Only Without the Bolivian Army part 1 part 2

With that, I think I've reached the stuff I've already rec'd you, so I shall pause.

There may be awesome buddy fic recs here in the future, for when you are done finals and want to spend the time it will take your dial-up to load a) LJ, and b) the fics (which are likely to also be on LJ).

Here is the first rec: Icarus, On A Cloudy Day. Team striving together in a non-shooting situation, Teyla's pov. You really get the sense of the world they're on.

I'm back! And I have fresh bright coloured string for your bracelet, kiffie! Send me your wrist measurement, God damn it!

Now, to sleep, because I am working my ass off the rest of this week.
