Pairing Smushnames

In further evidence that I am possibly the most immature newly-minted ~Adult~ ever, I cannot actually manage to say Sooric--even in my head--without stretching out the double vowel for, like, five seconds. I don't know! I can't stop! I don't know whether it's the softer consonent after the 'oooo' or just how hilariously awful the amalgam of names is, I cannot stop. I have the sense of humour of a five year old.

What spurred this little segue was getting a review--a quite nice one, actually--complimenting me on a story I'd written that apparently featured the pairing 'Bolivia.'

...what? For starters, the man in the pairing they refer to has a name starting with P. There are three men in the canon just off the top of my head with last names that start with B. THIS IS A LITTLE TOO UNSPECIFIC FOR MY TASTES. I mean, normally they're sort of ridiculous but on an unmistakeable level, if you know what I mean.


The only potential pairing names I can come up of in Blood Ties fandom sound sort of like STDs to me. If you know of any actual ones--sounding like an STD or not--please do not share.

Blood Ties

You know, I love Vicki, but I really, really do not like Mike. His condescension, patronization--accusing her of lying--controlling habits and domineering attitude is just appalling.

Refusing to give her the keys to her office back? When this was obviously a repetition of her telling him she didn't want him to have them? I was staring open mouthed at the screen in horror. Abusing police resources on the basis of nothing more than jealousy? I don't care that he was right, he was way out of line. And telling her she has 'anger issues' because she doesn't roll over and play nice whenever he want to be a possessive prick?

God, I loathe him.

ETA: Also? He just lied to her face.

KINKFEST

Pretty much all done.

The problem is that the Gankutsuou discs vanished before I could finish, and I wanted to finish before I wrote that one, but I'll scramble them up at some point and finish that last fic. Other than that, I'm pretty much done. Out of here. Used up. Waiting eagerly for the next round!

Blood Ties! You disappoint me

Okay, so they made the whole demon summoning scene unbelievably fake and totally lame. And they're keeping Coreen around, but rob her of her canon badass scene? The hell?

It goes this way; keep the special effects understated and good, or go all out and make them obvious and good. Don't go all out and make them obvious, overdone and total shit. I mean, the book kept thing pretty simple, and she could have gone totally wild.

The lines are often a bit lame, too--though the actors/actresses worked them pretty well considering what they'd been given--and all the Latin made me convulsively roll my eyes so hard I nearly passed out. So overdramatic!


...Vicki is still too awesome to resist. This is totally going to be my guilty pleasure.

Cassie and Thelma!

I'm watching Hex, and enjoying it much more than I expected. I like the characters a lot, pretty much all of them, or else I dislike them with the cheerful fervor that means they're written well.British TV seems to inevitably write characters that I love--or at least Hex and Jekyll have, though perhaps two shows aren't enough to state such generalities on.

Also, it will give me an opportunity to write girl-on-ghost!girl best friend porn, which is never to be sneezed at. They're so sweet together.

I put off watching Blood Ties for a long time. I'm not sure why; I really did love the books, so I think I'm probably a bit leery of it on that count. I know--and the author noticed--that they definitely changed Henry's character a lot. They turned him into what I rather thought of as Kenshin without guilt, someone easy going, courteous, and hella dangerous when roused, into a more Hollywood version of vampire.

But it looks like they've kept Vicki's flat-out badass awesomeness as best they could, and the lure of her is too much to resist. And Henry looks like a tolerable rendition of vampire and reasonably attractive, so I'm ready to plunge in, enjoy the sexiness of a lady in glasses, and write vampire porn at my leisure later. I never liked Michael--his possessive and intrusiveness turned me off of him--so I'm not at all upset at how badly they cast him.
