Because I'm a fandom butterfly...

[permetaform]

My fandom loves:

Pirates of the Caribbean has my soul.
Because I swirl hither and yon and can't leave it, because the sea calls to me and the freedom beckons, because every single time Jack's chin rises and the wind rises and the music soars, every single *damn* time, my soul rises too...

Trigun has my heart.
Because you have the "My enemy is my friend is my enemy", you have the loveable dork, you have the cynical jaded one, you have the backstabbing, you have the joy, you have the crazyness, you have the angst, you have the two people who just is not able to completely disconnect no matter the external circumstances and who work in beautifully, beautifully in sync with a heartbreaking about of trust and! You have almost canon ressurrection!fic.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico has my brain.
How can I not? Mythology and pathology and psychology intertwined and delivered with a side of skull fuck. You have the mysticism and superhuman willpower. You have the endless characterization and endless loopholes to play around with. You have the dust and the grit and the blood smeared flat and you just *have* to look away and you just *have* to keep on looking.

Cowboy Bebop has my stomach.
So freaking hilarious and so well written and so complete and such a full world and it can't be anything else, it can't and there's so much Spike should have done but he can't because of how everything played out, because of who everyone else is, because of who *he* is. (Bang.) ::wibbles::

Harry Potter has my kink.
Okay, if the polyjuice don't cut it, if the size issues don't cut it, if the weapon's kink and BDSM and torture!fic and slave!fic and chan and Dumbledore!smut and Snape/Hagrid and beastiality STILL does not convince you of this choice...really. The enchanted broomstick smut has to. Or that one fic of Ron with a spoon...

Dragonball Z has my nerve endings.
::covers eyes::...I'm sorry. I think it might be the size difference thing. And some of the smut, even badly written, just...works. ::shivers:: heh. Y'know that one picture I posted the other day of Vejita? Yeah. There's more utterly drop dead droolworthy pictures out there, permaently singed onto the back of my retina's, thank god thank god...

Smallville has my tear ducts.
'Cause they are so doomed. So. Doomed. And I cannot stop watching it because they are so beautiful doomed and I want to deny it and I do but it's dreams and it's beautiful but it fails and Lex tries *so* hard and Clark is *such* a dumbass and if he could only *see* but he *can't* and it's just. WAH.

Saiyuki has my squee.
Three words: Canon resurrection fic. And it has pairings with Issues, but their Issues *match* and they clink together and are made stronger. And it's *all* about the characterizations and all the cliches get molested, then nailed through the bed and then finds 50 new positions, and it's just as subtexty as Smallville if not more, and they are all So. Fucked. Up. But in a good way.


But Pirates of the Caribbean has my soul.

Dragon Ball Z - Hell Yes! Vegetas is teh sex, it is all about the short man with the tall hair and da rippling biceps!

Pirates of the Caribbean has my soul.

I elected not to go the way of all fandoms, just stuck to anime, but I would have to agree with that one. Not because I love pirates oh so much, but because I love sailing and boats. Sailing has owned my soul since I was 4 and yeah, Pirates of the Caribbean made me squeal madly. Jack talking about freedom made me squeal madly and nod my head.

Cowboy Bebop has my stomach.

Oh, good. Someone I don't have to explain that metaphor to. You get it, right? Right. ::nods:: Good.

Harry Potter has my kink

Buffy has my kink. Hands down I err on the side of vampire kink. Which is odd because I don't like physical pain.

Who has your inner child? Which doesn't necessarily mean a child's show.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

and superhuman willpower

I love the way you phrased that!

[permetaform]

yeah, Cowboy Bebop, just...you can't continue it, but it's *there*, all tingly.

And Buffy does get out there.

My inner child...is my outer child I think. I don't have a specific fandom for it.

[jellyfishkiss.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, yes on the Cowboy Bebop one. The whole show was so campy and larger-than-life, and the characters were all so flawed, but so very, very perfect by being so. I saw the last episode after splurging an entire day watching the series with friends, and for a moment everyone's jaws just worked on the tragic. And then we sighed. But damn, that series, it was pure orgasmic nerve-singing joy.

And I definitely share the Smallville bit, because watching it is sort of like watching a train wreck. It's horrible, and you can only gape at the TV while you watch them make all the wrong choices and everything starts to slip off track.

Yeah.

I am sooooooo going to steal this.

[permetaform]

::glomps:: no problem! ::goes over to look:: =)

[permetaform]

::nodnod:: and the attitude, can't forget that! =)

[linaelyn.livejournal.com]

I will be gacking this from you, although mine will be far more boring, as POTC has my Soul, Heart, Nerve Endings, Stomach, Tear Ducts, and Kink.

LOTR still has my Mind, and always has.

OUaTim has me by the cojones, and I'm not entirely sure I like it, but there you are.

Troy is the dust in my sandals, this summer. It'ss wash off with the fall rains, I'm sure.

[penm.livejournal.com]

I, er, actually don't have it done yet.

Tomorrow. I might have it tomorrow.

[permetaform]

okay, no prob =)

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

I had to gack this - so great. And Smallville? I'm just getting into it, but *yes.* Why must they be so doomed? It's a trainwreck but I can't stop watching. :sniff:

Leeeexxx...

::grins:: no problem. And SMALLVILLE IS **SUCH** a TRAINWRECK!! ::wibbles::

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

It *is.* I'd tried to get into it time and again with no luck, and sisabet was evil and a pimp and sent me fic and now I can't stop, I tell you. I'm addicted. Lex and his *pain* and Clark and Lex's lovethatissopure but not to be because he doesn't know, damn it, and if he knew maybe he wouldn't become what he's afraid of and...

:wibbles in a corner:

If nothing else, Smallville has good and lengthy plotty porn. And the most *delish* futurefics...

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

Hee. Yes - I haven't been in a fandom where the fanfic was better than the show itself since...oh, XF. Granted, this could be because I've been spending all this time in Jossverse, but still. *g*

Ah, futurefic. It lets me live in a happy denialland where Clark and Lex *aren't* doomed and theirloveissosad. :sniff:

Linzee, knew I shouldn't have fallen for that ship.

[permetaform]

knew I shouldn't have fallen for that ship.

oohhh, I was pretty much doomed when I saw that they met through CPR...

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, yes. I've known I was destined for CLex since I downloaded the pilot the night before it premiered and saw the CPR thing. And if that hadn't done me in, then seeing that hug in "Phoenix" and the smile - 'three months on an island is almost worth it to see the look on your face now'...

I was really, really doomed, you know.

::nods sadly:: so much love, and yet they're so stupid about it, too similar and not enough similar to make it work in the end ::wibbles::

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

::sniffle:: And what *hurts* about it is knowing how it's going to happen in the end, and knowing you shouldn't watch them and love them because they're going to break your heart, but you can't help it because they're so adorable and there's so much love.

::sniff::
