"I'm an apex predator, damn it, cuddle me!"

taichara: aww lookit the arsehole not honestly engaging but instead going no u because of shaky connections and "the realms doesn't have a unique feel" aren't they precious *pinches cheeks, rips face off*

eliyes: *stares at the tag Light Tentacles*
eliyes: does that mean tentacles made of light?
eliyes: or
kiffie: TRON pron?
eliyes: is it telling me the amount of tentacles, as in on a scale of light-moderate-heavy?
eliyes: no, fairy fic
kiffie: On your heaviest days, use TentaPad
eliyes: which is why it could go either way, really
eliyes:: XD omg
kiffie: idk man. You are on your own.

eliyes: okay, so, I basically downloaded the soundtrack for The Chipmunk Adventure because I wanted the song Gettin' Lucky
eliyes: I don't know if it's a cover or what
eliyes: but now
eliyes: I am picturing various non-chipmunk fictional people singing it
kiffie: *cackling*
eliyes: and possibly dancing with cartoon snakes the same way
kiffie: XD
eliyes: I AM PICTURING SHARON AND STEVE STANDING IN A ROOM FULL OF DEFEATED HYDRA AGENTS SINGING IT BACK AND FORTH
kiffie: See, my childhood association with the Chipmunks was Bat-Munk, so... uh... that's having an interesting time in my mind, at the moment.
kiffie: Oh, come now... Serpent Society, surely. Timelines be damned.
eliyes: OH HONEY HONEY GIVE ME *punch* A CLUE *kick, elbow* WONTCHA TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO *flying tackle*
eliyes: sure, serpent society also works
kiffie: The little BONG as someone hits the shield

eliyes: actual emotional ties to some of them, or vice versa
eliyes: bong hahaha
eliyes: it's hard to be taken seriously as a supervillain when Captain America has done a pseudo Elvis impression while singing into your tail
eliyes: if you don't have any clue what I mean I can find a video on youtube for you
kiffie: ...I am picturing this.
kiffie: This is making my head hurt.
eliyes: can you imagine? in the costume, swivelling his hips and knees, flinging an arm into the air with his head down to the mic/tail -- and catches the shield XD
eliyes: Sharon & Natasha: *clap*
eliyes: Natasha: *pauses to tranq dart a thug, goes back to clapping, face polite*
kiffie: oh god. *laughing*

Ely: I am looking at a comic page scan
Ely: where Dick and Roy and Lian have gone to Ireland
Ely: because Roy is kind of looking for his heritage so he can give it to Lian, basically
Ely: and Dick says : "Another difference between us. I know my roots -- back for many generations. Circus performers. Acrobats. Clowns. The Graysons go all the way back to eighteenth century England."
Ely: ...and part of me goes "that's not that far back, Dick"
Tai: yeh really
Tai: but remember, in America fifty years is a long time
Tai: (in Europe, fifty miles is a long distance ;3)
Ely: and technically that is generations

(We're pretty sure she's quoting soemthing, but not what. Unless it's Eddie Izzard.)

eliyes: ...
eliyes: Superman was turned into a cat?
eliyes: Superman was turned into a cat!
eliyes: there must be fic @_@ *terrible whirling eyes*
taichara: *eeeeeeebils*
taichara: there must be fic with Stinky!
eliyes: XD
eliyes: oh God,
eliyes: A Stinky Supie-cat SHOWDOWN
eliyes: Superman!cat: *crouches on outside of window*
eliyes: Stinky: *crouches on inside of window making TERRIBLE FACES through the glass*
eliyes: Peej: *initially thinks Stinky just has an unsually dark shadow today*
taichara: or Lois is conveniently~ unavailable and Superkittieface gets dropped off with Peej ~~


(For those following at home, the Stinky we are referring to is Power Girl's cat in her most recent series, not the one from JLE.)

(We then went on to speculate on whether Superman and The Eradicator would still have their psychic link while Superman was a cat, which leads to many hilarious mental images of a 200,000+ years old interplanatary death machine cuddling a teeny Supercat and talking with him very seriously. Often while Kon & Krypto, Lois, or Peej look on in bemusement. X3 )

Alright, so, Highlander. Everyone knows Immortals are undead, yeah? They're normal people, aging normally, capable of getting sick or grievously wounded, and can die of illness or old age and stay dead. BUT. If they get "violently" killed, they come back and never thereafter age and eat each other's souls and can only be killed through decapitation. (And, I've always assumed, atomizing explosions. Because technically the head is separated from the neck there, as well.) So they're undead. NOT ALIENS. But they still don't entirely make sense. Why the Game? Where do they come from? If they're undead, why only eat each other's souls, and not those of non-Immortals? (Although I like the Highlander: the Animated Series logic of absorbing each other's knowledge and skills towards creating the ultimate, omniscient being as a possible answer to that last question.)

Today, I found this (posted anonymously):

When I first saw the flashback in the episode of HIGHLANDER in which Duncan is banished from his family and village for being a "changeling," I didn't think much about it. Okay, the concept of a fairy changeling fits in with the Celtic culture of the Highlands. Later I realized that — Highlander Immortals ARE changelings, specifically human-fae hybrids! It explains so much. Most cultures in the world have myths and legends about immortal, supernatural beings analogous to elves and fairies, so this theory works everywhere, not just in Britain and Europe. All Highlander Immortals whom we're aware of are orphans whose parents are unknown. Because the fae don't want halfbreeds among them, they foist these babies onto human families as changelings. Because they don't want too many of the halfbreeds around to cause trouble, they invented and promulgated the Game with that ridiculous "There Can Be Only One" premise, to get the halfbreeds to kill each other off. And of course the fairy genes account for their longevity and the difficulty of killing them. Can't have children? Most interspecies hybrids are sterile.

God damn it, why didn't I think of that?! It's not perfect, but it can be worked with. In the series, at least, we know there's magic and demons and miracles -- we see them. Sure, classical changelings aren't crossbreeds, they're flat-out fairies swapped for real human children, but we'll allow the term. We've got evidence that stories of fae -- especially the elves that live underhill -- began as myths involving spirits of the dead, which would be why the "Immortal-ness" doesn't come into play unless they are killed, I suppose.

It's possible this just seems to work because I'm sleep deprived, so I'm going to go to bed now, but meanwhile, what do you think?

I don't have cable, and so "what's new on TV" is a matter of theoretical interest to me at best. (As in, "Theoretically, which of these shows might I be interested in downloading for free in future, if they catch on?" Speaking of piracy.) Nonetheless, sometimes people are really funny talking about them.

Eg.

Blue Bloods stars Tom Selleck's moustache as a cop moustache that is also the patriarch of a family of younger cop moustaches. They fight evil criminal moustaches and are generally noble and upstanding moustaches, and not at all conflicted like you might see on other, non-mustachioed cop dramas. (CTV, 10 p.m.)

Ziva David: We are not here to eat, Tony.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I mourn, I eat. I'm Italian.
Ziva David: Jews and Italians are similar that way.
