HOW HOT IS TRIPLETT

So. Skye is a Skrull? That makes her more interesting. Grunt Beefcake being Hydra, though, doesn't help. Meh tormented pleh. Fitz's woebegone crush on him is almost sweet, though.

Love Melinda. LOOOOOOOVE.

SIF.

Son of Coul is such a marshmallow.

MIKE. I'm glad they actually used Mike as a character, since JAR is boss.

Grant/Skye meh. So boring.

HOW hot is Triplett omg omg omg. His sparkling eyes! His general thingness! He and Simmons will make brilliant twinkly babies. Simmons, you can trust him because he's black and Hydra are Nazis. Easy. Fitz, start crushing on him instead! I'm sure Simmons will share!

...and, now picturing Mike/Bucky. *_* wibble. Bucky rescues him, Tony frees him from the nonsense, Cap rescues Ace. Then bonding over mutilation by Hydra. Then smooches.

ao3 stat meme

basingstoke — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 02:57:17 GMT

Last charted April 2012.

Top ten stories:
1. Indecorous, Sherlock, now at 55,424 hits. For some reason, people like the novel-length smut.

2. Touchy, Feely, prequel to the above. 41,020 hits.

3. Bells are Ringing, my wholly inaccurate Sherlock farce. I have been told that every plot point is impossible. I know. 21,682 hits, which is 10,000 more than last year, bumping it up from 5th place.

4. Intemperance. Sherlock canon mpreg trans fic, NOT AU. 19,937 hits. Same ranking even with six thousand more hits.

5. The Regent's Park Regulars. In which there is a swan not entirely unlike Sherlock. 19,786 hits, up from 8th place last time with 11,000 additional hits.

6. Eggcrate, which is a reference to eggcrate foam. I have been informed my titles are frequently opaque. 18,852 hits, down from 3rd place. Sherlock family AU.

7. Padding, prequel to the above. 14,421 hits, same ranking.

8. Cartilage, the one with Sherlock and his baby sister. 12,616 hits. Same ranking.

9. Unalienable, the massive Highlander/X-Men fusion. This story possessed me for a decade. One up from last time with 12,413 hits, which is six thousand more hits now that it's no longer a wip.

10. Paparazzo. Wot wot wot? My classic story all the way down here? Iron Man/Spider-Man, 11,068 hits, which is seven thousand more than last time but I still think the traffic is mostly to my Livejournal.

Nearly the same list as two years ago! Pillow dropped off to make room for Paparazzo. And man, I have not been writing much recently. I need to finish the third swan story and the third Paparazzo story and the Sam/Steve I've been working on.

THOR

basingstoke — Fri, 08 Nov 2013 03:50:40 GMT

THOR!

1. This is not a spoiler: At the beginning, there was a loving shot of Thor topless, and half my audience laughed. But not a derisive laugh; it was the laugh of "they are pandering to us so hard" and the further giggle of "okay this shot is going on forever, this is GREAT."

Now there are spoilers.

2. Malekith/Algrim OTP, clearly.

3. I am in favor of Clint also running around nekkid, just for the record.

4. HEIMDALL

5. Seriously, how badass was Heimdall?

5. FRIGGA

6. FRIGGA NOES

7. NO FRIGGA NO

8. But that funeral was gorgeous. :(

9. But, women's casual wear on Asgard includes metal bodices? No wonder Jane changed when she got home. Into wellies. :D

10. I do love how they handle the Loki and Thor relationship. Loki doesn't cravenly betray Thor; I actually never believed that's what he was doing. He messes with Thor, but if he ever kills Thor, it'll be face to face and he will hold Thor's hand as he dies. While crying.

11. I have not given the plot much thought to see if it holds together, but I think it basically does, which is quite a feat for a comic book movie.

12. Mjolnir and the Luggage should have a long wordless stare some time.

13. THE COLLECTOR WOULD LIKE TO WEAR YOUR SKIN AS A HAT. DO NOT BE UPSET, IT IS A FETCHING HAT.

14. Ice beast, what are you doing in London? You don't belong in London! You will melt! :(

basingstoke — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 08:26:59 GMT

"It's a magical place" clearly means they snatched Phil back from Valhalla or that Stephen Strange was involved, I think. Betting on Strange since they are doing a movie later; they could launch it from the show!

Or possibly Phil's soul got sucked into the staff? I feel like I've read all these options.

Anyway. Liked the show. Willing to love it as they go on; they have three main women, all distinct from each other, one of whom can destroy you with a pencil. I do like that.

basingstoke — Sat, 07 Sep 2013 22:23:36 GMT

I was discussing how Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston have weirdly identical careers, and then started imagining Hiddleston getting a show analogous to Sherlock.

I decided it would have to be a modern Jeeves and Wooster with Hiddleston as Jeeves, taking care of a young, rich socialite. I'm thinking Chris Colfer. And they go shopping constantly and Jeeves is all "no, neon green does not suit your coloring" and they are so intimate that flirting is beside the point but Jeeves holds them at arms length because a relationship would be inappropriate and he constantly has to save young Bertie from getting Facebook married to lady friends.

And now I'm sad this show does not exist. Sigh.
