semele

Ok, so friends of mine made this vid as a project for their Multimedia class, so I was just going to pimp it to help them get the required number of views (they need 5000 to pass), but forget it. That's not why I'm posting it. I'm posting it, because it's bloody AMAZING, and it made me WANT TO SE S2 RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T??????

Here you have a fan-made s2 GoT trailer. Watch and cry:

I'm terribly late with fics for the meme, but I have this awkward feeling that if I was late with the meta, my head would roll (I'm looking at you, Frances), so here I am. The post is freakishly long, which may or may not imply that I have no life. I regret nothing. The banner was made for me by juana_a for another Damon/Elena meta, and I'm shamelessly recycling. The title comes from Richard Siken's “Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out”. The screencaps I'm using belong to ladymanson. The thoughts, I'm afraid, are mine.


Banner made by juana_a. Quote from "Little Lion Man" by Mumford And Sons.

My first instinct was to write this meta chronologically. Just describe step by step how this relationship was developing, and end with a big speculation paragraph explaining how, obviously, my idea for future Damon/Elena is the only acceptable idea ;). But then: I've read metas like that. They were damn good metas. I might have two or three new things to add, but not enough to make this post worth reading for anyone who is at least remotely interested in the ship; we've been through the whole “Damon tries to seduce her to mess with Stefan => she shows compassion => Georgia => Katherine not in the tomb etc” thing, haven't we? So that's not how this meta is going to work. Screw chronology. Let's talk about themes.

Warnings: This is a Damon/Elena meta prompted by ever_neutral for my December Meme of Doom. No functional relationships will be found in this post. No shipwars will be found in this post. Not enough graphics will be found in this post, because I have no Photoshop skills :(. All the romantic delusions that can be found in this post belong solely to Damon. Oh, and there are spoilers up to TVD 3x09.

And, finally, some recs. Because I actually, you know, treated this meta seriously, so I've been reading things, and talking to people.

— There were two amazing Damon/Elena discussions on my own journal; they just came out of nowhere and consumed a few days of my life. They're both pretty chaotic, but if anyone is interested, it's scattered around those posts: click click.

— ever_neutral wrote an incredible Damon/Elena meta after s2: All You've Done is Give Up. When I was writing my post, I was trying very hard not to mention things covered by Alex, because why would I copy-paste?

— laniaaa wrote an awesome meta explaining why she ships Damon/Elena and how Damon is a horrible person: very big, very long discussion on why i ship my otp, and why i sometimes hate it .

If you have some more D/E discussion or meta recs, please do tell :).

I blame dante_kent and her Christmas spirit.

I know it's a bit early for Christmasy stuff, but on December 6th people in my country celebrate St Nicholas Day, which basically means that we sneak into children's bedrooms when they're asleep and we hide small gifts for them to find in the morning. I don't know how many of you guys celebrate it too, but I thought it would be a perfect excuse for me to be a troll tonight ;). So let's have a treat:

MYSTIC FALLS CHRISTMAS SPECULATION POST


This gif isn't mine, but I certainly wish it was

RULES:
1. It's Christmas, so everybody lives.
2. Pics, gifs and vampire versions of Christmas carols are more than welcome.
3. Much silliness can be found in this post.
4. Don't get blood on the couch.

Title: Not Much of a Difference
Rating: NC17 (how did this happen?)
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Wordcount: 670
Prompt: Damon/Katherine, Like a cancer, or a curse / Now be my loving nurse, for December Meme of Doom
For: ever_neutral
Spoilers: nothing explicit, but let's say up to 2x22
Summary: They end up on the floor, because beds aren't really their scene, not any more, not ever.
A/N: Damon/Katherine is not my comfort zone, but I've been rewatching s2, and something clicked... Let's hope it worked. Happy December, Alex!

I finally managed to make myself a decent masterpost of everything fannish I've ever written, both in Polish and in English. It should be complete and up to date. I certainly hope it is... I figured that if I don't make it now, I won't be able to make heads or tails out of it after the December meme. If you spot a link that does not work, please let me know :).

General thought: Dear Lord, I'm a spammer...

dante_kent and I were thinking how many people from TVD fandom have some vampires in their past. And there is no better way to find out than a poll!

We'd like answers from the people who are/were into TVD fandom (reading/writing fic, taking part in discussions, reading/writing meta; LURKING ALSO COUNTS!*).

*Btw, this is also how "being in Buffyverse fandom" is defined in the poll. Even if you were just lurking, it counts!

This post contains A Song of Ice and Fire books spoilers.

Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people (including me) can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

So, ever_neutral gave me:

( non-functional Damon/Elena, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, Jon/Robb, fic-writing, teaching )

It was already established that I'm the worst shipper in the world, but right now I'm also a bored shipper, so I'm having this guessing game I wasn't supposed to have. Snatched from everyone around. Some descriptions are based on quotes, some on my opinions/wishful thinking. Have fun!

(1) Think of up to 25 ships you support.
(2) List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
(3) Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.

I finished my fourth story for the comment ficathon, and I thought that would be it. I woke up this morning, and welcome, plotbunny! Not that I'm complaining, but I can't help but feel slightly amused with myself.
