New graphics comm & friending jamboree!

[aesc]

I told myself I was only going to do this after finishing a paper, but my laundry is done, stuff has been graded, and I went out and bought new sheets, so I'm quite happy to labor under the delusion that I've been productive.

1.) New graphics journal!
There's so much crap going on in my journal I feel like I have to clean out some of the clutter. So, I present to you discolore, my icon/graphics community. It's sort of bare right now, but its inaugural icon post should be up in a bit (because I am going to wait until I get this paper done before allowing myself the fun of posting stuff of actual interest, like icons and fic).

So, if you are so inclined, go check it out!

2.) Friending jamboree!
Found via sheafrotherdon... setissima is hosting a friending spree thingy here. It looks like much fun, and hey, I posted!

3.) And because I haven't done a meme in eons...
Ask Me My Fandom Opinion

How it works:
1. Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Any fandom of mine. [Past or present: Now & Again, M7, Gundam Wing, HP, LotR, WaT, SGA, SPN, House]
2. Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.
3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like.


In paper news: Please God, spork me now.

Curses! Didn't work the first time. Tryin' again. *crosses fingers*

Okay, I've decided this can't stand anymore! I will not permit it! I've managed to coerce mrsdtaylor into giving SPN a go (check out my comment picspam! (http://community.livejournal.com/discolore/994.html?thread=7650#t7650)), so I'm going to introduce you to Stargate: Atlantis by way of John Sheppard and his hair.



So, this is Lt. Col. John Sheppard, US Air Force. You can call him John, though. Say hi! ("Hi John!!!! You're hot!!!" John: "Why, thank you.")

And this is John's hair.



John's hair either has a life of its own or requires a lot of styling gel. Fandom suspects the former. As you can tell, it's very lively (and invites comparison with Danny's hair before it got all flat and depressed).

John lives in Atlantis--



--which is an ancient city built by the... well, the Ancients, an advanced human-like race. It's a pretty cool place to live. Unfortunately, the Ancients have been gone for the better part of 10,000 years after losing big-time in a war against a very nasty group of creatures called the Wraith, but I won't depress you with that right now. Instead, we'll meet more of John's friends.

So, like I was saying, John and his hair live in Atlantis with a lot of good friends.



This is Ronon Dex (the guy with the hair) and Teyla Emmagan. They're both from the Pegasus Galaxy, which is where Atlantis is. Ronon is kind of new--he just joined up last season--but Teyla's been around for a while. She and John are very good, very platonic, friends.



And this is Dr. Elizabeth Weir and Dr. Carson Beckett. Elizabeth is in charge of the Atlantis expedition. Carson is the chief medical officer. He's also Scottish :D



And this is Dr. Rodney McKay, John's boyfriend, head of the science team.

Rodney's an astrophysicist and engineer, so he's smarter than you are. He's smarter than you and me and the rest of the planet put together and he can kill you with his brain.

Together, John and Rodney have unbelievably hot sex go running around the Pegasus Galaxy, getting into various scrapes as they try to help the Atlantis team stay alive in the face of Unbelievable Peril!!!! and against All Odds!!!!!

And there is much bantering and bickering and snarking, and crazy tech-speak, hypochondria, drama, subtext, and so much else, I can't even begin to describe it. So much fun. 3.10, one of the more recent episodes, made me freak out in almost the exact same way that the WaT S3 finale and 4.01 did. Seriously. It was great. And like WaT, the slash starts almost right out of the gate.

Hi John, hi Rodney. I'll most likely become another rabid fangirl - you may thank evil aesc for that - especially if I end making you make out with abound of angsting thrownin the middl for good measure.

And you evil girl, yes I'm talking to you!!! I only have a request, is there a way to have them with English subtitles? would make the catching up easier and faster.

p.s. you already starting the dragging in of flist, I think I love you, so here's something for you:

HOLY OOF!!

Heheh, I think I might like this show! x xx

[aesc.livejournal.com]

My computer just melted from all the hot. So did my brain.

*objectifies away*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah...

I'll send you an email about how (I think) you can get subtitles to the episodes. Can't do it here, though. *trots off to gmail, but not before licking the screen one more time*

Seriously, it's not fair to have two guys THAT HOT on one show. It isn't.
