@purlturtle​ thanks for the tag! 🙂

Four ships:

image

#1 James Watson / John Druitt / Helen Magnus (Sanctuary)

my current obsession

image

I have zero choice with these guys. I didn’t choose to ship them, they just grabbed me and haven’t let go yet. It’s just tragic. The whole quasi-immortal thing, the century they spent apart, time travel, being possessed by a homicidal energy parasite, what’s a little murder between friends? They have everything.

#2 Myka Bering / HG Wells (Warehouse 13)

image

again the moment I saw them I was gone. #ships of pain seems to be a theme as do the fact that Victorians out of time make for the best ships bwahaha.

#3 Artie Nielsen / James MacPherson (Warehouse 13)

image

This is an odd one as I rewatched Warehouse 13 several times and then one day I saw this scene ^^ and my mind went into overdrive and it hasn’t left since. They are a big part of the 60k (and counting) fanfic I’m writing atm. Also #rare pair seems to be a thing for me atm.

This completes the trifecta of ships of pain and betrayal.

#4 Eve Baird / Flynn Carsen (The Librarians)

image

This is the “non-hurty” ship! Haha. Now I could have put a lot of things for #4 but I thought I’d stick with ships I’m currently writing. I mean don’t get me wrong there’s some angst to deal with here too but generally much less than the epic betrayals in the ‘ships of pain’ above.

First ever ship: 

Jack Malone / Samantha Spade (Without a Trace)

Not something I’d go for now but twenty years ago… it was one of those ships that should have been a cliché but wasn’t. I quit this show pretty early (only watched season 1-3). I think I got grabbed because it was subtle. The actors did a lot with body language and the odd line here or there.

Last song:

Ok iTunes is currently playing ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ by Maroon 5 (I always have music playing).

Last film: 

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets

I’m a bit of a sucker for archaeological/treasure hunting thrillers to be honest. Oh wow actually the more I think about it… yeah hunting for historical artifacts is a major theme. What’s not to love? There’s treasure and there’s history and there’s mystery and adventure. Oh that’s not in reference to the movie btw. I’m not saying this particular movie is all that great, it’s the genre I enjoy.

Currently reading: 

Kingdoms at War (Dragon Gate #1) by Lindsay Buroker

I’ve been reading a lot more lately. It’s been a goal for years but this is the first year I’ve really ran with it. I’m way ahead of target and averaging 6 books a month thus far (if you can average with only 2 months of data lol).

Currently watching: 

Sooooo many things. Seriously TVMaze Watchlist keeps track for me. I also made it my goal this year to actually finish shows rather than just starting them. I don’t have access to all the episodes yet (just the first 6 seasons) but I’ve almost finished those for:

The Flash

Currently consuming:

I share the confusion as to what this question is about. If it’s food then I guess it’s lunchtime and so in 10 minutes the answer will be:

Soya yogurt

Currently craving: 

Now this could be food? Buuuut c’mon lets be real. True I have food cravings sometimes (don’t we all?) but for the fun let’s say something else, something I crave a lot more frequently.

Lego!

Haha. Seriously. I have a problem. Too much is never enough. I always want more. So many cool actual sets, so many cool Rebrickable sets, and so many dreams of MOC’s I want to make.

Important question: what do you think Wish!Rumpled, who never experienced the curse or being Mr Gold, would wear in the land without magic? Would he still go for suits? Would he shake things up?

I don’t know why but the first thing that popped into my head was “yes a suit but no not like that” – one with sort of ‘dandy’ style to it. Wish!Rumple from what I could remember was even more flamboyant, with flair and eccentricity (he had been possibly locked up without company for years so fair enough).

So the jacket would maybe be longer with tails? Patterns and colours rather than so austere, interesting cuts and accessories. I can just see wish!Rumple prancing about the way he does as an imp in human form, in a way classic Rumple never would.

Wish!Rumple just strikes me as wanting to say “I have power (or money)” but also be a bit more “in your face” about it. Classic Gold is quite understated, very business like, very power in the room but you don’t notice him so much.

I don’t know if that makes sense.

I haven’t done an update on moving house in a while have I? I totally forget what I last said or when I talked about it. The word nightmare comes to mind.

I’m paying basically near the equivalent of a Lego Republic Gunship EVERY MONTH (which hurts me as I wouldn’t actually spend that on Lego as I prefer to save but ugh all that wasted money 😫) to not have our stuff so that our house is less cluttered and sells – aaaaaand it’s not selling due to things I can’t control like “the garden is too small and overlooked” (house is on an estate) or “the bedrooms are too small” (they are standard size). Both of which I thought would have been apparent anyway from the detailed floorplan and photos but no I still run around like an idiot polishing the house to make it spotless every single time people want to come.

I am tired and fed up and I looked at renting (more money down the drain yay) to get out of here sooner so I don’t kill mums husband (obviously not but oh so tempting sometimes) but everywhere I rang about was either lying about being available, or wouldn’t rent to me due to my circumstances (which is actually illegal discrimination but it would take too much to fight it).

About the only upside of this is I’m reading a lot more books for all the times I have to sit in the car hiding while people poke around my house (which gives me the creeps tbh as I hate anyone in my space).

Arghhhhh!!!!!!!

#I am so done

urban-trek-thru-middle-earth said:  I feel your pain. Our house is for sale at the moment – we might have a confirmed sale early next week – and trying to live in it while keeping it looking like a showhome is driving me *nuts*. I just got the quote from the movers today, and it was so expensive, it made me want to give up and stay where we are. It’s no wonder moving house is one of the three most stressful experiences you can live through.

galactic-pirates said:  @urban-trek-thru-middle-earth good luck! I hope you do sell early next week and then you’ll be one step closer to the nightmare being over. In a few months hopefully we’ll both be able to look back at this and laugh as it’ll all be done and we’ll be moved into the new places. I can’t wait haha. Imagining that is all that is getting me through.

Dammit. I was thinking of skipping the next Doctor Strange movie. First marvel movie I was intentionally going to skip.

1) it’s been billed as a horror movie and I’m the biggest wuss in the world

2) personally I just really don’t like Doctor Strange. I’m annoyed he’s in the Spiderman movie (which I haven’t seen, waiting for Disney+)

buuuuut if Patrick Stewart is in it, even for a cameo, and Professor X and the X-Men are going to be a thing… they can be on screen for 5 seconds and I’ll still sit through the whole damn movie.

Guess I kinda have to watch it now huh.

jackabelle73 said:  I saw the new Spider-Man movie last week, and enjoyed it more than I expected. Dr. Strange is definitely a part of the movie, but not its focus, FWIW.

galactic-pirates said:  @jackabelle73 oh good to know thanks! 🙂

135 wipes and then on the 136th attempt…

Honestly I did NOT think that was happening but yup Ahead of the Curve: Sylvanas is finally mine. Now I never, ever, ever, ever want to do that again.

Wow ok so the Eternals wasn’t at all what I expected. Those trailers can super lie huh?

I can kinda see why I have heard it got bad reviews. It was a bit all over the place. It did get a bit confusing. 10 main characters getting their origin story all at once was a bit much. I mean the Avengers movies had a ton of characters but they were mostly introduced first in other movies. This was just throw a lot of new stuff all at once. I don’t think anyone got the development they really deserved.

That explains why there was character death – got to get those numbers down! But man I hate that. You get attached, start to like the character and boom gone forever.

And I think I’ve managed to keep this spoiler free. Not that probably matters anymore. I have totally lost track. Did this ever come out at the cinema? I just watched it on Disney+ and I know it has been up a week or two (I think, what is time?).

Anyway yeah. Big meh. Phastos and Gilgamesh were definitely the best part, followed by the speedster (I’m not sure I ever got her name?) and then after that Druig. Apart from them it was pretty forgettable.

I know I probably just did a bad tumblr etiquette thing. I do feel a little bad. We’ll see if that translates into feeling so bad I delete it. That may happen. I have a very big problem with guilt.

#in which I second guess myself forever#I just want to be a good person and yup fear of being yelled at is definitely kicking in

Is it just me or is tumblr doing some weird shit?

I keep seeing really old posts of mine at the top of my dashboard which is freaking me out (first time I thought I’d been hacked).

When it first happened there was no tag, but now I’m seeing “Look at this post you made!” above it.

Now just appeared “Check out this post!” and this random post is there.

Please tell me there’s going to be an off button?

I just realised I forgot to say, I mean I mooted the possibility in my “end of fandom year” post but I didn’t actually say.

So here an announcement! (of sorts)

It is my sincere intention to do what I’m tentatively calling – Fandom Friday – where I post a new gifset every Friday.

You see I have over 50 on my list, so that’s more than a years worth already, so I really need to try and consistently get them done, if I actually want to make them which I do. I know tumblr is a dumpster fire with the tags and stuff right now but ehhh my love for my shows/ships never dies.

I’m pondering running another couple of appreciation weeks this year. My only hesitation is last time that didn’t take sets off my list (it added a couple dozen more). But I’m thinking about it anyway. We could all use a little more love for the things we love in our lives, especially now.

This could be an epic embarrassment if I don’t actually do this, but I think I’m relatively safe for a week or two as I already have tomorrow’s made haha. So we shall see 🙂

Staying up to welcome the New Year is the most ridiculous tradition.

Surely the best gift we could give the new year is to be as well-rested as possible, so we can start the 1st how we mean to go on – tackling those tasks that combine to form the goal list.

Signed,
the person who always has a headache on the 1st from lack of sleep

#happy new year#although what’s happy about it I don’t know#yes I’m grumpy I’m sorry#ignore me#we all had dreams once Liam
