I have these feelings about Natasha and her fear of the Hulk, and about Bruce and Tony's conversation about the big green guy. Maybe they're feelings about Bruce/the other guy in general. No one that I've talked to about it sees as much depth as I do to this stuff, so here's the rant.

Made a joke about the Stark Spangled Banner pairing after the movie this time. J totally shut down. IT WAS A JOKE. The most slash opposed person we know mentioned it to me, which is the only reason I said it... I thought she'd laugh. But no. Right. As if I could ever forget how very very unwelcome any mention of slash is.

Which brings me to the rest of the evening, where we finished season 2 of Merlin and started Season 3. So the end of Season 2 I am aching with my desire for Arthur and Merlin to be... together? A team. Trusting one another. And it never happens of course. Then on we go into Season 3. And I have this problem. The one where I ship the chemistry between Uther and Morgana (blame "Defenders of the Realm" for that) except that she's evil and lying, so not that. And then I ship Morgana/Morgause like burning. Also Morgause/Sendred. Morgause/winning I guess. She looks so gorgeous in armor... and I don't even like blondes most of the time.

I can discuss exactly none of these feelings with J. Because slash and fandom are evil. Because... I don't even know why. I genuinely am not sure how you go about enjoying a show if you're not involved in the fandom for it, if you're not reading subtext underlying it. Maybe I'm weird...

Well, I've massively failed at writing every day. But I'm just being grateful that this month hasn't been bad enough so far to necessitate whinging on the internet everyday.

Tonight, I am massively grateful for my magnificent girlfriend and brother, for having food to eat when I got home from work, and for the soft fuzzies (hand warmers and hat) that Jess's mom sent to us.

Finally, we watched several more episodes of Merlin season 2 tonight. This season is filled with awesome that I can't even being to describe how much I love it. The plots are fantastic, and interesting (and stuff I haven't seen rehashed in a half-dozen fics yet, which probably helps), and the character growth is interesting and fun. I find myself actively slashing Merlin/Arthur slightly less, and liking them more as friends. But mostly I just want to see the whole gang pull together to do more. Morgana being all alone and scared and Merlin having to run off and do things alone makes me nervous. At the same time as I want things to be happy though, I'm excited to see more development of the overarching plot... I actually punched the air when I saw Morgause in the preview for next episode, even though I'm not supposed to know who she is. I try to pretend I don't read fic, but fuck it, it's MORGAUSE! (And yes, I only love her because of "The Student Prince" and one or two other stories, BUT... :P) Anyway.
