Why do you read my Live Journal ?

Taken from a_white_rain and puella_nerdii

Comment, and I'll:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ. -- only if you want to. But I do think it's a fun meme.

What Fictional Character Do You Associate Me With?

I haven't looked at my comments stats in a long while

( Who comments the most on this journal? )

Stalker's meme :
SECRET ADMIRER/CRAZY STALKER MEME!

Comment here with your username, and let your secret admirers and crazy stalkers come and prop you up! Find out who secretly (or not-so-secretly) adores you and why, or who dresses up like you when they're at home and stands in front of a mirror saying "Would I f**k me? I'd f**k me." WHATEVER, you know?

Have fun with it! Use this as an opportunity to let it all hang out and admit to your "crazier" stalking tendencies on livejournal...because we all know we have them. <3

IP logging is off, anonymous commenting is on, but feel free to use your real name if you're feeling adventurous.

The Golden Rule is in effect here--and I don't mean the one who has the gold makes the rules. So no being a big, mean, poopie-head, okay? We're all adults here, or at least pretending we are. Act like it.

And again, HAVE FUN! If you want others to play, pimp this out and see what you get from your friends, your admirers, and those crazy people peeping in your LJ window at night! :D

Are you secretly admiring me

1. Can you cook?
2. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?
3. What talent do you wish you had?
4. Favorite place?
5. Favorite vegetable?
6. What was the last book you read?
7. Are you Dirty or Clean?
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings?
9. Worst Habit?

Otherwise i have a question about shipping in general for you people. I realize that one of the thing I often adore in ships is triangles. That is to say, whether it's romantic or not, I like it when there's other characters who are involved in the relationship between the two characters I ship. It's the hint of history I like in that. A dialectic of connections that tie together several characters, with love, hatred, friendship, kinship, respect, etc. Past histories that shape everything new that happen between people. Ghosts that accompagny you everywhere, including to bed. People who you fuck because they remind you of someone. People that you fuck so as to fuck up with someone else. Tangled, twisted ties - no men is an island, and no relationship is that either.
It can be as simple as Hokuto's involvement between Seishirou and Subaru, or Seishirou and Fuuma's unrelanting presence to whomever ship KamuixSubaru.
Back when I was in BuffyxSpike, for me, Spike's involvement with Drusila and both Spike and Buffy's ties to Angel were a very big part of the appeal of the ship.
My liking of TatsumixWatari stems a lot from my liking of TatsumixTsuzuki, I see one ship as an outgrow of the other. A continuum if you will.
With my shipping of Remus and Snape, I like the fact that both men have a rather lauded history, which includes other person. Sirius is often (alive or not) going to be a presence in between, James and Lucius also might be.
My points is, I have the impression this fondness is not very popular in Fandom. I can think of fics with those, of course, and fics I adored, but another trend in shipping is to propone the pairing you like best so much that is has to be the, well, One True Pairing. Which leaves very little room for other characters in between, especially if their involvement was also romantic. Which includes bashing past partners and rival pairings in an effort to erase these ghosts and, I suppose, make the characters of the pairing closer and Truer. A lot of the biggest shipping wars thus occur between rival pairings. BuffyxAngel vs BuffyxSpike; SeishirouxSubaru vs SubaruxKamui etc. Anyway, I'm not here to critic this attitude (criticizable as it is) but more to point to it as a symptom of one of the effect of shipping one relationship between two persons as being higher and above everything else that they might have.

So, am I alone who finds past (or rival, I like a well done acutal romantic triangle too) a very big turn on ?

And why not seeing more "polyamorous" relationships in fictions too ? I mean, with the extreme variety of sexual behaviour that's displayed in fanfics, you'd think this one would be a relatively tame theme to put in fiction, but I feel like you see very little of it (apart from on the theme of character sleeping around a lot - which isn't exactly the same thing)
I don't mean of it as a threesome or a honnest to good menage à trois either (I don't really adore threesomes , they're too often either porn without plot and very technical at that)

Do you guys have any opinion on the subject ? Do you like to see triangles, romantic or not, in fics or not and why ? Do you prefer OTP or straight away OT3 ?

Errr some of these actually work for several people at a time XD

A big, big happy birthday to azure_empress ! Hope you had a wonderful, gorgeous day full of happy things May ! And have fun with Hitoshi ^_^

Yesterday we went out with my family for my father's birthday. It was a Hungarian restaurant and very good; and there was a very skilled tzigane group playing music which was very cool.

Why does my mother keep buying me pink things even though she knows I hate that colour ? I mean, first time, it's okay, i can own one or two things of that colour and wear them from times to times, and I always appreciate recieving a gift so I wouldn't bitch... but several times in a row ? ^_^;;

Anyway, some memes

Happy thanksgiving to all Americans, and happy birthday to the extra-sweet tamchronin. May you have a wonderful day dear ^_^

So I did create an icon journal : cold_hallelujah, nothing there yet of course.

A couple of drabbles have been posted on la_mer_allee, so do check it out if you haven't. I have many drabble requests to work on, as apparently my friends delect on torturing me by demanding the crackiest pairings ever XD Tough love, how I love thee !

I corrected what mistakes I could find in the last babylon (though this is still very much a working title), and de friend-locked it. When ffnet will stop being so annoying I can hopefully post it.

I'm sick of my throat hurting me. I don't know if it's an allergy or whatever, so I took an appointment with the doctor.

And a big plug of elihice Fic rec community plotbunny_recs ! Go check it out because Eli-chan has mighty taste.
