what dread hand

When the whole "is Zach gay?" (not Quinto, the other one) debacle was happening, I read about Thomas Dekker saying it wasn't that he minded playing a gay character, seeing as he'd played one several times including when he was twelve. My mind went "wtf" at this, but it turns out he wasn't lying: in 2000 Dekker had a guest spot on Grosse Pointe playing Leslie Chupak, a gay boy who is the biggest fan of one of the male stars of the teen drama they're shooting on the show, and won an essay contest where the big prize is a date with said male star, Johnny.

And he's freaking adorable.

Warning: manga review. Meaning 85% of you won't care. Skip! Skip!

A 55-page one-shot in Weekly Shonen Jump #6-7, by the artist of Death Note and the writer who apparently wrote its spin-off novel. I can't tell if it's just a gimmick one-shot to boost the spin-off, or if it's a pilot like the Death Note one-shot that preceeded the series.

Best Peter/Claire fic I've ever read.

No, really. Try it. Make sure to finish it. And I'm sure anonymous feedback is appreciated.

I was looking at the NBC site for the first time in months yesterday, and:

♥

Also, the World Tour videos are made of love and win and moe and they neeeeeeed to include high quality versions on the season two DVDs, they neeeeeeeed to. Because I neeeeeeeed bigger versions of probably-just-got-up!Sendhil reading the paper on the plane, and hyper!Sendhil jumping up and down to get a better look across the crowd. And Zach needing a drink at 9am. And Grunny in general. And Ali being pretty and smiling and cute.

Unrelated: my bunny seems to have found a new challenge in life, namely jumping up on my light table (slippery and slanting because it's, you know, a light table) and staying there as long as is possible. The record seems to be two seconds now. I ... don't get the fascination, and the noise woke me up this morning gah.

I had a dream about my last teaching practise. It didn't bring me down as emotionally as it could have, but I take it as a sign I'm feeling apprehensive about classes starting on Monday.

I need to talk to someone about this, because while I don't want to quit, I have no desire to ever risk finding myself in that same place again. When I say I need more time with something people always counter it with "just jump in and you'll be fine" which might be the words in any language most likely to make me cry. But still ... I need to talk about this with someone.

Methinks immagonna lock myself up today and just enjoy being emo.

Shit, I really do feel miserable now.

Molly and Mohinder (with a touch of Maya). Aftermath of 2x11. "Will he be back?" Molly asks. "I don't know," Mohinder says. 730 words.

Aurelia

(It's been a while since I wrote something and enjoyed it, without feeling like I had to rush to finish. Huh!)

lol what. Though it probably won't evolve much, sadly. It'd be interesting to see!

ETA: Forgive me, father, for I have wanked. I promise never to go near this girl again. I should have ended it sooner, at any rate, seeing as the topic was being avoided by the fourth comment, but I blame Anna. She's a temptress.

In other news I had apparently agreed to go to a thing tonight which I forgot all about in the meanwhile, and I was just rung up by a guy asking me where I was. I ... do this kind of thing embarrassingly often.

Bad news: Some of my professors are there, and I don't feel like explaining myself to anyone right now.
Good news: Some of my professors are there, and it might actually be a good idea for me to talk about stuff. Preferably while drunk.

Will be off in an hour or so.

OMG I OWE YOU THE DRABBLEMEME I'M SO SORRY BUT HERE'S ONE MORE.

Comment with any ship from a fandom you know I like or am familiar with. I will then go on about said ship for at least one hundred words. Perhaps more! Feel free to comment with ships I like, ships I hate, or ships where my opinion is neutral or unknown. I'll be honest and diplomatic about all of them, with a bit of added flail for the OTPs. Include RPS for the giggles.

As if I don't ramble about ships here every other day.

Yesterday was full of people telling me I'm worth so much. It was ... odd. But thank you. Both those of you who are looking here and those who aren't. Or I hope you aren't, at least. Please don't be looking, my non-fandom heterosexual male friends. Please.

I was juuuuust thinking of bed. Then Jenn sent me this.

I love it when Sendhil randomly pops up in magazines like this. The SHIRT! What the fuck! And the print on those BOXERS! I only wish there was a better look of his stomach. Damn.

ETA: There was also text.

Sendhil Ramamurthy just wants breakfast in bed
SR: Literally! Do any of the readers want to bring me some? I have NEVER had breakfast in bed.
Glamour: Have you ever made it for somebody?
SR: Yes. I made breakfast in bed for my wife. Anybody could bring me breakfast in bed. - I wouldn't care.
Glamour: Your wife might feel differently.
SR: Yes (Laughs) She'd probably have a problem with it.

WTF? No one has ever made breakfast for him? That's ... sort of very surprising.

A "breakfast in bed" challenge.

Actually if I really wanted someone to write it, I guess I should post it to some comms and such. I'm not that desperate. But if anyone is in need of something to write right now, and they wouldn't mind making me happy, I think this is a good challenge.

Yes.

Really.

Don't you want to?

I'll tuck my e-mail in here, you know, just in case.

megante AT bricked.net

Just in case.

Manga review. Skip skip, no one cares. Mostly writing because I think I vaguely promised Anna I'd blog about the manga I read...? Maybe...?

Suzuki Nakaba is a shonen manga-ka probably famous for breaking his contract with Weekly Shonen Jump to seek greener pastures. He is mostly known for sports manga, such as the golf series Rising Impact in Jump and the figure skating series Blizzard Axel in Weekly Shonen Sunday. Kimi to boku no aida ni is his first monthly series, seriealized in Ultra Jump, and his first fantasy/SF.

The wine manga that was featured on 4ch for major lulz. After having read volume one, I'm not sure why the people on 4ch chose the pages they did for the lulz. Maybe only chapter one had been scanlated? Because the remaining pages feature the protagonist hearing Queen (the band) at drinking a wine, and the biggest wine-expert in Shinjuku being a homeless guy who lives in a tent in a park.

lulz.

It's funny because it's essentially an RPG. Go through these hardships! Get better weapons (more wine to drink) to aid your journey by proving yourself in challenges by old sages! Defeat the enemy!

I don't think I need to read more, though. I don't exactly care whether the protagonist will manage to inharit his father's wine collection because, uh, you sort of already know he will, and I'm not interested in all the wine he has to drink to get there.

(And wah, so much spam today.)

A couple of days ago I posted a Mo and Molly genfic to my own server with an anonymous mail form at the end in case any reader wanted to leave a comment. Mostly because my LJ-phobia seems to be growing every day, for whatever odd reason, and I thought that I might as well try this style of fic-posting once to see what would happen. Anyway, I got this in the mail this morning:

You probably don't want to hear it from me, but I thought this was beautiful.

...? I don't even know who you are! I have more than one enemy, please don't make me choose just one. But thanks for commenting though apparently we hate each other's guts! ...I guess!

The two concluding volumes, including the second half of the Amazons arc and the final arc which reveals Daria's past and the over-all structure of this planet. The final revelations on this manga are so highly coherent, everything from the first chapter onwards falling so neatly into place, I was honestly "ahhh" and "ohhhh"ing every other page. As far as I know Suzuku Nakaba never showed such tight plotting in any of his other work, which always seemed more character-driven, so I was muchly impressed.

Too bad it was all crammed into so few pages. Wiki claims the series wasn't cancelled, but it could easily have included three or more arcs before reaching its final one, and the final arc could easily have been twice as long. I hate expositionary dialogue, especially when what's being revealed is to damn interesting I'd have liked to read it much slower and enjoyed it much deeper. Bummer. But still, I recommend this series very much if you're into retro-futuristic dystpias and you like lively, quirky characters. And if you don't mind a bit of sex and gore.

There should be a Z/S comm.

With, like, five members. And all posts locked.

I'd probably post boring meta about them every single day.

... that was a boring entry, so have some sketches.

"Elle spies on Mohinder touching himself" (a prompt from the kink meme). Matt has a mishap. No pairings except in Elle's mind. 800 words.

Go Fuck Yourself

Hey, Dean Winters is in it! IMDb didn't have that listed. Awesome. And Richard T. Jones! What is this, reunion of all my favorite TV supporting actors? I also really adore Lena Headey, but she's much more charming with the British accent, meh. Of course I mostly checked it out for Thomas Dekker, who plays young John Connor, but quite frankly he's just a regular teenager while his mom and Summer Glau gets all the action and, well, lines. Haha. It's okay, though; it's pretty obviously setting itself up as a coming of age story for him, and I'm looking forward to see him whining about "why meeeee" and "why can't I be a normal teenageeeeeer" and growing up into the adult we know he will.

I was liking that it took place in 1999, because it's rare to get TV series or movies set in such a close past that I've actually experienced, and the subtle clothing, car, and music references were fun, but then they went to 2007. Damn them.

Over-all, I rather liked it! Which was a surprise, because I thought I'd find it corny. Which it is, sort of, especially in Sarah's voice-overs and the slow-mo and cuts of the action scenes, and it could certainly use some more tongue-in-cheek humour if they expect people not to fall asleep for an entire series, but the mother and son seem to have a real connection going and the the motives of the surrounding characters also could develop to be very intriguing. I'll probably watch it.

WHY AM I POSTING SO MUCH THESE DAYS SORRY.

Series about swingers in 70s American suburbia. Watched for Jack Davenport.

... sex is scary.

I know what it's trying to do and I can see how it's relevant and so on, but it's just not fun to watch. It's one of those stories where the surface is "sex is fun" while the point is actually "sex is miserable". It's depressing, and one of my least favorite plots. Even with Jack Davenport. Sad.

edit in ze morning: everything works fine nao.

*pimps new Mohinder comm*

*also pimps new(-ish) Niki/Mohinder comm and genfic comm in the hopes that they will live*

God, I'm so tired. Why am I still up and spamming you? =_= Also, if I've been whiny lately, if you could please chalk it up to PMS I'd be much obliged.

Meme. I didn't think I'd do this, because all in all I'm not that happy with my output and I didn't want to look back on it, but I thought it might be interesting to compare with 2008.

I'm not including the couple of LotRips fics I did early in the year before I got into Heroes, since it seems like that was decades ago.

ETA: I posted a Sendhil with glasses picspam and Anna is posting her series on Mohinder's wardrobe, just another reason for you to join that comm if you haven't already.

Potentially for a poll and/or discussion. Add your favorite if you like, I may well have forgotten some.

I'll probably be editing this entry to add stuff, because I anticipate another EXCITING DAY AT WORK W00T!

ETA: So, I wonder, where does "homage" and "reference" end and plagiarism start? No, I haven't belatedly come to the CC plagiarism debate; I just started reading through the entries of the mylar_fic rapid-fire drabble challenge (Ca should patent that, btw. It's an awesome idea). Though I have to say, the one I'm thinking about is eerily similar to the CC case. Is a "spot the reference lolol!!!" in the author's notes seriously a good enough disclaimer for borrowing ideas? Because in my mind, that just makes it worse.

Just curious.

ETA2: Seriously. Really, really, seriously. I fucking love and adore the people in my classes. It's the only reason I don't want to drop this. Because they rock. I just wanted to write that down.

I HAS SENDHIL ON A BED NAO ♥

Thank you so much, Jenn. ♥ ♥ ♥ I'll scan a huge version tomorrow. ♥ ♥ ♥

On that note, I shall sleep.

♥ ♥ ♥ (there aren't enough hearts in the world to express the love that is that Sendhil pic)

♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you so much to fantasticpants for going through the trouble to let me know. Love. I'm sure someone will fanficrant about you some day! Earnestly!

P.S. Being fanficranted is generally a very exciting thing, but I have to admit I'm a bit upset to be told I don't like Mohinder. :/ There's no one in fandom that I adore as much as Mohinder right now. Sad.

ETA: It appears that there's a ... sort of ... happy end to this now? I think? I guess? That's nice. But sorry to fantasticpants. I fail at creating more wank. Sob.

I scanned the Sendhil page I got in the mail yesterday (♥), but I never know how to clean up magazine scans. They're so ... print-y and ugly. Meep.

On the opposite page was Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I knew he was on US TV, but I had no idea he was playing Henry VIII. I just looked at his IMDb page to check the spelling of his name, and he has the weirdest trivia ever. "Uncle of his brother's child, Dylan." What.

And I just noticed that him and ZQ aren't dissimilar. The shape of the head and the downwards curve of the eyes and the nose, I think. And the fact that they're both too odd-looking to be attractive, but are hot anyway.

I just sat through ten minutes of an American Football game. (I think it was live, actually.) I ... didn't get it.

If any of you are reading my blog but not my LJ (understandable; I never post there), I would be much obliged if you could sneak over there and vote in my poll about your favorite Mohinder scenes. It'd be very helpful and make my day.

I'm tired and sleepy and feel like I might be coming down with something, and thus I'm not being very much fun this afternoon. I feel the need to apologize for that. Sorry. Meep. Sorry.

I'm obsessing over the Mohinder poll. I'm down to 24 moments now, but I want to get down to 20. It's hard. Meep. And I'm tired of looking at it. HOW CAN I GET TIRED OF LOOKING AT MOHINDER?! I must seriously be coming down with something.

I was originally going through season two episodes to cap Mohinder's thumb ring, but I ended up taking more caps of his broken nose.

One can clearly see fractures running from the tip of his nose along the right side, and from the left side of his nose running along the corner of his eye and up to the eyebrow. There is also some scar tissue under his left eye.

...

*whimpers*

The above are all before HRG breaks it again. In later episodes, the bandage has become smaller and the fractures on the nose itself have begun to heal some, but the bruise around his left eye has turned purplish and still looks incredibly painful.

*squirms*

No, there is no conclusion to this post. I just wanted to catalogue that.

From the newest chapter of the online comic:

Alternate cuts: one, two.

doctor_caduceus on LJ informs me that these frames

are Prada PR 07E, with the color 1AX-1O1 Black/Mango Pearl (details).

I find pieces of information like this highly valuable, but I can never decide if it's interesting enough to be posted to the main community. Hmm.

At any rate, a "Sendhil Wears Prada" joke seems inevitable.

Also: Psych = ♥

I've been looking for an easy-to-use, simple, free gif animator for what feels like years, but only today did I think to look for one in Japanese. Facepalm. Giam is exactly what I needed.

22 frames (one of 100x100 pixels, 21 of 76x50 pixels), 36 bit color, 36kb.

One more:

I mock because I ... love?

(Honest, I thought I'd get off my Mohinder high after a while with the hiatus, but it's been like I can't get enough of him these last few days. The lasting power of my obsession is surprising me ...)

woman: Hi, do you have nigari?
me: No, sorry.
woman: Oh.
me: ...
woman: Do you have magnesium chloride?
me: No, sorry.
woman: Oh. What about calcium chloride?
me (in my head): Look, lady, I KNOW VERY WELL WHAT "NIGARI" FUCKING IS. Do you derive some sort of sick pleasure out of always assuming that the people you talk to are incompetent? Is that it? IS THAT IT!?
me: Nope, sorry!
woman: Oh.

I love how a lot of the discussion that happened in the Mohinder poll results post echoes a lot of things I've discussed with people over IM or on this blog or in my LJ. Like how Mohinder saved eeeeeeeveryone on that show but got nill for it, but how Mohinder doesn't act out of wanting credit so that's okay, and how Mohinder might be morally troubled but will always try to do the good thing, and how HRG was being an idiot with huge communication problems, and how Mohinder isn't stupid, goddammit.

Yay! ♥

I mean it's wonderful to talk about it with friends, but seeing relative strangers in a community argue the same things makes me feel less biased and obsessed. Just a little. Because being a Mohinder fan sometimes -- nay, most of the time feels like working against the huge tide that is fandom at large.

OMFG WHAT

I don't know what to do! What! What! What! Should I? Should I? But I've never, ever ever ever ever ever in my life been to a convention, and I honestly never thought I ever would!!!

Suffice to say, Zach's "Sendhil! Sendhil! SENDHIL!" is echoing in my brain right now.

ETA: I mean even if I could work around it logistically and financially (which I probably could), I'd have to worry about making a complete fool of myself, AND worry about how his hotness might burn a hole in my retinas, AND deal with my brain who will with no doubt be going, "Hi I write porn about you on the internet OMG I'M SO SORRY PLZ DON'T KILL ME I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN ;_______;"

ETA2 of unrelatedness: The air smells of spring today. It makes me want to go to the park just up the street, if the weather is as good when I get off work.

is an anime series that started a few weeks ago. (Which opening I'll randomly pimp, because it's awesome.)

Ela keeps shortening it as "ZSZS".

And my mind goes there every single time. Augh.

P.S. I changed by wallpaper to Sylar/Mohinder today, and was instantly hit by a Zach/Sendhil PWP plotbunny. Why.

Caps I made months ago and neglected to post.

He looks fifteen. For the record, this was in 2005. Trufax.

In which he plays an intern who eats a chocolate bar while witnessing an appendectomy.

Ew.

Caps mostly of the eating (because I'm a perv) and funny faces (because Anna likes them) in extended entry.

I've decided to make a list of any and all fanfic that portrays Maya in a positive light -- you know what scratch that, I'm satisfied as long as she's treated as a human being with thoughts and emotions.

• Sylinder: the sitcom part one, part three (Sylar/Mohinder)
• untitled drabble #4 (Sylar/Mohinder)
• The Geography of Grief (Mohinder/Maya)
• Ayuda (Mohinder/Maya)

And at this point I realized I don't want to read Sylar/Maya. Erm. Maybe I'll get to it one day.

There's a hilarious news item on the actors of the new Trek, but that's not really what I want to talk about, what I want to talk about is the pic accompanying it.

THEY'RE LIKE TWO DIFFERENT SPECIES. HOW CAN TWO HUMAN BEINGS LOOK SO DIFFERENT. WHAT THE FUCK.

I guess it's good for casting. But still. Look at them. Dude.

(I prefer ZQ's species, whatever it is, but that probably goes without saying.)

A movie about a blind guy (played by Chris Pine, the new Kirk) who meets an Indian girl and falls in love. Sendhil plays the Indian girl's fiance, Arvind. Arvind isn't a bad guy, but sort of a clueless semi-jerk who assumes that because they're engaged, the girl will want to do exactly what he wants to do, and take over the family business. He also seems slightly sex-crazed. I don't know what that's supposed to illustrate.

In some of the frames it looks like he's trying to rape her, but he's not. In the last frames it looks like he's clutching onto his daddy's shoulder as he's being cruelly dumped, which he is. That detail alone made me love the guy; he's clueless and probably came crying to his daddy afterwards to get him a new fiance! Awww. He needs a hot boyfriend and a good spanking.

61 caps in extended entry. Most of Sendhil with some Stephen Tobolowsky, because he's cute.

ETA: I wasn't going to comment on Heath Ledger's death, since a lot of people who care about him more than I do are commenting already so why should I, but WHAT.

There are still people out there who argue that YGO isn't a "kid's show", lol.

I seem to recall also ranting about this back in 2004 or so, but what annoys me about this "my favorite TV show wasn't for kids in Japan! it's dark and deep and violent! stupid US TV censored it!!" attitude isn't actually people's inability to grasp that in different countries, different things are deemed "appropriate" for kids; no, it's the attitude that calling something a "kid's show" is apparently somehow an insult and warrents loud defending.

What's wrong with kid's shows, anyway. Good shows for children is damn hard to come by, and can be damn good. Even better than a lot of dark "adult" shows. How difficult do people think it is to speak of deep and relevant themes about the human condition without degenerating it all to sex and violence? I don't have anything against using sex or violence to get a point across, but good children's shows are relevant without utilizing a lot of elements that adult shows get to use, and it takes masterful skills to pull that kind of thing off. Fujiko Fujio, anyone? Tezuka Osamu's works for young boys and girls? It's hardly a shame for your show to be placed in the same category as fucking Fujiko and Tezuka!

Grr.

This reminds me I need to finish Konjiki no Gash!!, a great manga for children if there ever was one.

I've noticed that I feel apprehensive about writing about RPS here. I'm not sure exactly why. Some months ago I conducted a survey asking people what they most enjoyed reading on this blog, and while RPS wasn't the most popular choice (that was Heroes) a fair share of people did click it, and seeing as I've been obsessed with ZQ/SR for months now I'm assuming that most of you visiting don't actually mind it too strongly (or are willing to ignore it when it comes up), and yet ... every time there's something RPS-related I want to talk about, I seem to run to mail, IM, or LJ comments.

I think it's partly the stigma of RPS in itself, but it's probably more about how this particular RPS fandom is so small. I feel singled out and exposed, which I don't do at all when talking about, say, Sylar/Mohinder, because there are literally hundreds of other people who ship it and talk about it on a daily basis, I'm just a bushery in a large forest. Whereas ZQ/SR ... geez, I'm lucky if I get an entry about that pairing once a week on my flist. Really lucky. I'm not complaining about that, as such, I don't mind that it's not as huge as mylar; I just dislike being, er ... noticed. And most of all I dislike putting my opinion out there and having no one counter it, making it look as though my opinion is the only one that exist and therefore the default. It makes me even more self-conscious than I already am.

(Which is a really weird thing to say for the girl who used to be one of, like, three people in the world to regularly write that pairing, but I was desperate for it to just exist at that point, so it doesn't count.)

But anyway, what I wanted to say was: I want to change that. Because I really, really want to talk about it. I adore this pairing so fucking much. Talking about it in private is great fun and I wouldn't trade it for the world, but I want to be able to write up an entry to this blog about those guys whenever the mood strikes me. So I will. Just so you're warned. I'll try to warn and cut it, but if it jumps at you, sorry. And I'll be crude. Because I am, about those guys. They're adults and I like to imagine them fuck in various interesting ways, it's sad but it's fact, and I'll talk about that. Or at least try.

So. Well. Erm. I made icons today?

(I have Zach meta I wanna talk about. *giddy*)

It's getting better, but it's too serious for its own good. Slow-mo angsting, pseudo-deep monologues, deep dreams, historical and thematic frameworks ... no.

MOAR AKSHUN, LESS DWAMA AND PRETENSHUN.

And make John Connor do something. I mean I know this is a the Sarah Connor Chronicles, but dude, he's one-third of the main trio and so far he's ... been cooked up in a safehouse, snuck out to see his step-dad (Dean Winters!), and angsted about how he couldn't save a girl who jumped off a building. I knoooooow his job on this show is to be angsty and go through growing pains to become the hero we know he'll become, but com'on.

And for odd reasons which aren't my slash-radar, the Sarah/robot chick interaction and the John/step-dad interaction are way more interesting than the mother/son relationship. I don't think it's badly-written, they just seem to lack the chemistry.

But I'll probably watch episode four, too. Because despite what I said above, it is actually pretty good. No, really.

They coulndn't have made those trading cards uglier if they tried.

HIRE ME PLZ, NBC. I R A HACK BUT I R STILL BETTAR THAN HALF OF THOSE PEEPS.

Not to mention some of those are so obviously traced.

I like Katie Cook's, they're cute. As long as she doesn't try to do non-SD, then her style turns into some odd Aoyama Gôshô and Justice League cartoon hybrid. Also, Katie, DRAW MOAR MO.

Disclaimer: I'm certain each and every one of these artists are very talented at what they do, and that the number of works they had to produce and the tight deadline had an effect on the quality of their output. I guess. I suppose. Maybe. And I believe the horrible pay had something to do with it, too.

Also, I lol'd. What else can you do? Oh Brian, u so gay. Too bad you don't draw prettier.

I still worry people will think I'm a freak, and I can't really think of something to write that won't make me feel like a freak!

So I'll do a picspam of caps I made of the 1x16 commentary when it was still online. I think, unfortunately, I only capped the first half. Meep.

Jenn was asking me what manga would be good to pop her manga cherry, and I was surfing Amazon and fell over Monster. Then a thought came to me which I'd had before, but I don't think I ever wrote down.

This post only makes sense to those of you who've read it, but:

Mohinder

Sylar

Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y???

Oddly, I don't ship it. (Johann's too frikking young.)

Am I overreacting? Are they just voicing their neutral opinions based on observations of canon and their personal preference, or are they raging misogynists who will throw logic to the wind and ignore bad writing of the male characters to put down females as dependant whores?

(No, not all of them. Just some.)

I tend to go with the latter. And it creeps me out and I never want to post to that community again. I'm pretty sure that now that Anna and I are disinterested, it will degenerate into a ground for fic-crossposting and not much else anyway, so I don't see it as much of a loss.

Seriously, how can lines like "[Maya] latched onto Sylar so quickly that it's easy to imagine her latching onto another man right away" not tick someone off? Personally, it makes me see red.

P.S. I'm reading the last volume of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and keep getting distracted by the thought that if this manga had a large fandom, there'd be people calling Kushana a bitch and a slut and Nausicaä a Mary Sue.

And people would be writing self-inserts where they marry Namulis (that crazy, sexy fucker) in place of Kushana (the whore).

It's a scary thought.

Whatever Matt may say, Mohinder looks more like 007 than a professor.

In my head (when I'm reading porn. What) I like to imagine Mohinder much leaner, with much less muscle. Not fat or unfit, just ... not that fit. It makes more sense for his character, unless he was always Indiana Jones.

But whoa, Sendhil. Can we see you model underwear one day?

I changed the spot of the bunny's cage today, and he's been stamping his feet every since. Dude, I'm sorry ... but it had to be done! Or maybe he wants me to move the litter, too?

This is what happens when I wake up before 7am (WHY, GOD, WHY) and I only have to get out the door at 12:30pm. My obsession, let me show you it.

I've only had the need to contact support of my hosting company (Surpass) twice since I signed up, but they're really very competent. And nice, though I'm techno illiterate.

Anime post.

Hakaba Kitaro (official site) is the newest series in the Gegege no Kitaro franchise based on Mizuki Shigeru's classic manga of same name. Unlike the other anime series in the franchise (of which the fifth is running now), this one is based on the manga Mizuki used to draw as kashihon (rental books) in the post-WWII years, and not the shonen series he drew later. The stance seems to be that while the ordinary series is a prime time kids' show, this series is horror and thus broadcast late at night. The story follows the early years of the protagonist Kitaro, a yokai (mythological monster) boy who is the last descendant of the Ghost Tribe, as he tries to find his way in the human world.

I've seen it twice in as many days now. Please stop. It doesn't help that even if it had been spelled correctly, it was still misused.

Please also kindly stop with the "without further adeu". I was hoping that was a single event, but I saw it again a few days ago.

I was reading her old Heroes-tagged entries, looking for that post about the German dub, and fell over this thing which I'd completely forgotten about:

animated Sylar gif, sort of not safe for work, 275kb

(Ela, Jenn tells me to thank you for that. ♥)

Also, people, I expect porn for this.

Caps! (Because, as you've probably noticed by now, taking caps of SR is one of my biggest hobbies.) 94 in all. He (again!) sits with a bottle between his legs.

So, the Maxim Hot 100 Party.

Yeah, that one.

I was looking through some old, unfinished and unpublished entries on this blog, when I saw myself say something I had since completely forgotten about again:

[the party] was held on 17/5/07. I just realized this was SR's birthday. That makes me laugh. So much. And gives me plotbunnies, augh.

Just thought I'd toss that out there.

Bobby is hosting the Heroes Actor/Character Anonymous Kink Meme!

Yes, you read that right. Actor/Character. "But that's crack!" you say? Yes. Yes it is. And I know you love it. So go prompt the Sendhil/Sylar we all know you've been wanting to read all your life. Or answer a prompt. Or two. *hint* *hint*
