fickle: (a pure square of cornflower blue)
cybernetic future, wires through her veins
she feels the pulse of information in place of emotion
emo poetry and pro-ana make her suck her cheeks in
she regards herself in the mirror and camwhores
camera in her eyes and the click of her eyelids
the perfect old-style camera covers

her smile is black and every tooth is lettered
her canine teeth are enter keys and her tongue
is made of cables braided together

she is the perfect girl for this digital world
she is a creation of her own self-loathing

humanity was never worth it
humans never deserved her

now she is unique

and tomorrow
there will be a million more like her
marching down the assembly line
demanding android rights

There's a meme opened up where you make gifts for random strangers or people on your flist. I think it's a fantastic idea. We just finished Sexual Assault Awareness month, had the mess with the Open Source Boobie Project and there's a feminism fiasco going on to do with WoC feeling marginalized, so something cheerful and positive is definitely a great idea from where I'm standing.

Currently, I have completed gifts for Dani and three total strangers.

Edit at Saturday, 9:10AM EST: Add in three more strangers and also, [livejournal.com profile] princessjessia.

Current total: 8 overall, 6 strangers, 2 friends.

I pretty much choose whom to give gifts for based off their username and if we have any shared fandoms. And I'll probably keep going until it maxes out on comments. If anyone reading this signed up as well, link me to your comment via a comment here and I'll throw something your way as well!

Anything you throw my way is ♥, pretty much. April was a grueling month and finals are coming up, and I am very easy to please.

In Domino, there's a shade of blue known as Kaiba blue. It's popular for bedrooms and the trim on hats for schoolgirls. Soon, it turns into the blue of the uniform skirts and jackets.

They call it Kaiba blue even when nobody remembers who the Kaibas were; like Prussia, they are a thing of the past and history books.

Their name is remembered for the wrong reasons. There is no longer any awe attached to it.


Now that I've got THAT out of my system, sorry for everyone who's been wondering why I've been MIA lately. Willow aka [livejournal.com profile] witchwillow and Zoe aka [livejournal.com profile] tes_aiden came over to crash with me and I was busy having SO MUCH FUN with them that I totally stayed offline!

More details. )

Also, PHOTOS will later be up. Both photos from the con, and photos of the combined coolness that is the FWZ triad.

Link of the Day: Tyler Durden is Hobbes!

Before you ask, that's Hobbes as in Calvin's stuffed tiger and imaginary friend from the Calvin & Hobbes comics, not the philosopher. XD Basically, the link leads to an an excellent essay, complete with graphics, that argues that Calvin = Jack, Hobbes = Tyler, and Susie = Marla. I don't think you're meant to take it seriously (I just bought the novel that Fight Club was based off recently but have yet to find time to read it), but it's definitely worth checking out even if only because it's well-written and engaging.

Victory goes to the person that wants it the most. )

I'm tired and headachy in weird on-off bouts so instead posting this on V-Day proper, I'm giving myself a little extra time.

If you want a V-Day/anti V-Day drabble, comment here with the fandom/pairing/prompt. Flavors are make up, break up, and hook up. You have to say which you're choosing otherwise I will probably default to break up for the fun of writing many screaming arguments and assassination attempts. I'm sure there are people psycho enough to do that in my fandoms.

"You hired an ASSASSIN to go after me?! Couldn't you just have taken me out to dinner and dumped me in public like a normal person?!"
"You don't like normal people."
"You're trying to kill me! I don't like you anyway!"
"That's why we're breaking up."
"No, we're breaking up because you're a bastard."
"I thought that was what you liked about me."
"EXCEPT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME."
"Don't be so loud."
"I thought that was what you liked about me."
"Except when you're trying to kill my eardrums."
"Ha. Ha. Ha. Rubber, glue. Pot, Kettle."
"Amusing, not amusing. Inteligent, unintelligent."
"Insult to injury much?"
"Why are you still alive?"
"Because I refuse to let you kill me and dump me both. My ego would never survive."
"It's not your ego you need to worry about."
"...What?"
"Duck."
"WHAT THE HELL?! DID SOMEONE JUST THROW A KNIFE AT ME?!"
"Yes. Now stop shouting."
"Why did you just save my life if you're trying to get me killed?"
"Because that's not the assassin I hired."
"Nobody except you gets to dispose of me?"
"Yes."
"Possessive bastard."
"Yes."


I'll write any pairing except thiefshipping, even if you want to get them broken up.

Random fandoms I know I'm into: Animorphs, Archie Comics, Batman/DC*, Batman Beyond, Bruno and Boots, Chrestomanci, Discworld, Good Omens, Gravitation, Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, Hercules (Disney), Mulan (Disney), Naruto, Othello (the manga), Petshop of Horrors, Pokemon, Sailor Moon season R, Smallville, Spiderman, Stick It, The Authority, The Charioteer, Utena, Yu-Gi-Oh, William Brown books.

*shaky. I can write for some chars but not for others and will tell you if your request looks unmanageable.

Oh, and make as many requests as you like. I'll try to fill at least one per person but feel free to make more or throw this link to anyone you want. Or repost the offer in your journal, I really don't mind.

"I wouldn't play you even to save the world."
"But would you play me to destroy it?"


Attribute the lines to anyone you damn well want. XD

In other news, I've been playing around with [livejournal.com profile] only_fiction nearly all day, trying to get tags lined up and indented in the sidebar. I did find something that would work for it, but it required me having a paid account and I am not getting a paid account for my fic journal. Nope, no way. I'll fiddle around with it some more tomorrow.

Plus, I now have an awesome Mac/Vista icon, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] xinda and inspired by Allow which is a slashy Mac/Vista fic based off the this commercial. Yes, she wrote a fic that's over 6K of words based on a thirty-second commercial, and she made it interesting. Warning, fic in question might not be for the faint of heart since it portrays the two networking in great detail, but if you can take explicit slash, go for it.

[livejournal.com profile] googlebrat's Cybersex fic is still the best long series of techslash that I've ever read, though. It's what got me squeeing over Alienware, after all! Unlike the above rec, though, this fic is about real PCs and Macs and Linux and so geeky that it made me squee with every little injoke that I actually got.

In semi-geeky talk, I finally watched Spiderman 2 today, squeed a little more over Kyle Rayner (I will soon make a post saying why even non-comics people need to love him), and preened about the fact that [livejournal.com profile] xinda is very likely to visit me for AnimeBoston since my parents said that I can send her a hundred dollars to help with travel costs and a roundtrip plane ticket isn't much more than that. XDDD It'll be so awesome if she and Muse-y can make it.

I also stumbled across a fic that's Seto(YGO)/Lex(Smallville). This mostly amused me because not only do I like Smallville and have YGO as one of my main fandoms (despite [livejournal.com profile] katarik tempting me to the DC side, evil thing ^_~), but I've been RPing Ryuuji/Lex and Seto/Ryuuji lately. Though I really do think that Seto and Lex are alike and that the fic works well for what they were like when they were young. The author clearly has a good grasp on Seto and the driving forces behind him, and her Lex is precisely as w00bie-like as he is in the show.

Also, on a slash level, the Green Goblin in the first Spiderman movie is so, so gay. He's so gay, it even affects Norman and makes him slink on all fours, crawling over his own rug. I mean, if the mirror scene isn't slashy, I don't know what is. Speaking of which, I absolutely loved the actor there -- he did a fantastic job of changing his facial expressions to make the person in the mirror look completely different from himself. Green Goblin, sans costume, is disturbingly sexy. Why are the psychos always the cute ones?

I'm usually hard to please with movie-adaptions of source material that I love (one example being LotR, another being Catwoman), but the first Spiderman movie was pretty good. XD The second failed to reel me in as tightly, and I thought that Peter walking away from a guy he could see being beaten in front of him was kinda off-base, but the first was definitely good. Worth watching in my opinion, anyway.
