shallowness

As I haven’t been watching any TV that I’d post about (I will get around to it, and with the bank holiday, this week will be lighter), I reposted a fic yesterday!

Sweet (I could be your favorite girl), The O.C. PG. 368 words. Kaitlin/Spencer. Summary: Over the years, she’s been getting better and better at having things her own way. Fluff. Established relationship. Future fic. (First posted in April 2007.

I only lightly edited it, although I wanted to do something about the first two paragraphs and all the uses of ‘nibbling’, but it would have been too much. Wow, that was only a month after I last reposted a fic.

Apparently The Wheel of Time is cancelled (is it my fault for not getting around to watch the third season yet?) :( In possibly good news, I saw that pictures from Zootopia 2 were released. Admittedly, sequels don’t have a great record (especially of original properties), but I am excited about more adventures with Judy and Nick and exploring the world further. It will all come down to the script. While I get it that they won’t be developing the ship, and that's fine, that's what fic is for, I don’t want to see any love interests for either.

Tri ci bach. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. PG.
Anya Jenkins/Rupert Giles
Summary: Anya sees some cute puppies for sale.
669 words. Set after season 6. The title can be translated as ‘three puppies’. Written for the prompt ‘Buffyverse/Ats, Any female character, Finding a Cwn Annwn puppy’ at comment_fic.

( Tri ci bach: shallowness )

So, I came across someone using bromance as a descriptor for a fic featuring a man and a woman some days ago. My initial response was REALLY!? Then felt I needed to write out why I found it problematic, and while I wait for my food to be ready, I might as well share it.

Other things that annoy me: that on my new copy of Total Film there’s a picture of Natasha above the title Avengers 2 (that isn’t the annoying part per se) and a drawing of Ant-Man. Why is there a move about Ant-Man, but not a Black Widow standalone?

One day, eh?

And the following adverts annoy me too:

The Galaxy computer re-animation of Audrey Hepburn. A good example of the maxim ‘Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.’

The new Coke Zero adverts. It makes me think ‘FRAUD’ and want to make horsemeat jokes. I didn’t like the old Coke Zero adverts either. Or Lynx ones.

Oh, and I loathe the retooled ‘I just want to make love to you’ Diet Coke ads also. I’ve reached the point where I hope the objectified male goes and finds those annoying women’s car(s) and causes some irritating damage to them.
