 | 02:38 am - got behind in friending!
I was really behind in friending people from AM but I think I've gotten most everyone I would likely to be plotting with/talking about the game with on a more-than-once basis, so if you've clicked over to figure out who this is because the contact list isn't handy, HI! This is Jessi at AM (Lily, Druella & Owen).
Everybody else, nothing to see here. :P

So Lily ripped Alice's face off, and it's a small thing compared to the Epic Drama and not even close to the one Lily RAWR attack on the former Hermione, but it's pretty significant to me, as sometimes even I forget she can be a hot-headed snot who overreacts, so I'm always HEY NOW STOP THAT and kind of want to hide when she does it.
Also, I realize this is kind of silly and whatnot, but it keeps happening and I don't get why and I'm still assimilating WHAT ALL IS GOING ON IN CRAZY TOWN and needed a five minute break, so: I REALLY DON'T GET WHY CHARACTERS KEEP CONFUSING DRUELLA WITH WALBURGA AND VICE VERSA.
ETA: OH MY GOD REGULUS CONFESSED TO LILY *FLAILS*

* Hope all who celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful time spent with family and friends.
* The Girl Child went to the Black Friday sales this morning. At 4:49, while I was doing some serious sleeping, she texted. Scared me to death. Why did she text at that unholy hour, you ask... because she spotted John Travolta at the mall. Jesus. She's a freak.
* The Boy Child had to work today - so no shopping for him. Instead, he gave the Girl a list and his debit card. He gave his sister his fucking debit card. When she was going to a mall. The boy is an idiot. Honestly.
* It's chilly here in the Sunshine State tonight. Lovely thing, that. Right along with the Criminal Minds marathon on A&E.
* And, on a Criminal Minds note, this week's episode killed me. Dead. *pets the CM team*

 | 04:30 am - fandom ramble;
So I caught wind of this post/essay/meta on Lily tonight.
What struck me most was not the content itself (though it makes me happy, because I love Lily and it's annoying to see people tear her apart rather than embrace both her humanity and flaws alongside her strengths), but that fact that 1) it's necessary for fans to defend against such a wide range of misogynistic bashing of female characters (I can remember Anti-Narcissa essays back in the day that made me SEETHE) and 2) I can only recall a handful of essays that cover a somewhat sane positions on canon/interpretation, but I can think of comms full of the Lily-bashing/female-character/any-character bashing. I'm sure the reality is not so uneven, but in my mind it very much is.
Ultimately, it always comes back to this - why do some fans, fanfic writers, roleplayers, etc feel the need to tear down everyone around a character just to make their own more sympathetic? We may not always agree with the creator, but we were still provided with toys to play with that have depths we can explore simply by logically assessing the canon. Is is that people are insecure about their ability to rewrite characters as they are in canon, is it just laziness, or is it speaking to a need to make their character one hundred percent right?
For me, something that has always put me off a fic or a character bio is the moment they make someone the convenient villain to get what they want, without any thought for how it demeans their own character to do so. Be it tortured!Sirius or ignored!Andromeda or beaten-by-Ron!Hermione or delicate-flower!Draco or whatever, in the end it always feels like it's taken away from or trivialized that character (Sirius escaped to save his life, rather than it be because he was not being treated as a person with opinions and feelings of his own, Andromeda ran away because her family didn't love her and Ted was the only one who did, instead of it being she changed her purist mind for one man and retained other prejudices, etc) rather than make them sympathetic and layered.
Ugh, and I should so be sleeping, family things to do in a few hours!

 | 07:04 pm - Fic: Le Ténébreux (Severus Snape, R)
Title: Le Ténébreux
Author: lesyeuxverts
Characters: Severus Snape, Lily Evans
Rating: R
Warnings: character death
Themes/kinks chosen: symphorophilia
Word Count: 1,095
Summary: " Je suis le ténébreux,- le Veuf, - l'inconsolé, Le Prince d'Aquitaine à la tour abolie: Ma seule étoile est morte, et mon luth constellé Porte le soleil noir de la Mélancolie."
Author's notes: Huge thanks to bewarethesmirk for the beta, and thanks to the folks at the ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) slashretreat_dc for the brainstorming help! I was heavily inspired by Nerval's El Desdichado, and this work owes a great deal to that poem (although I was very nearly distracted by the fact that he kept a pet lobster … but I managed to finish this in spite of that, so all credit goes to Nerval!)

 | 07:51 am - am is my drug of choice;
Three hours ago an old character grabbed hold of my brain and I made the hold (yes, goodbye for the moment Hugo, maybe if I can be awesomely active with my four I'll still app him in a few weeks).
Eight minutes ago I submitted the completed app. No, Louis is still not done. HE WILL BE THOUGH. I just want to be sure he isn't going to infringe on Cassie's niche in the game too badly because I think they are more than a bit alike and wah I am an anxious and fretful person.
So, anyhow, I've potentially unleashed Owen Gibbon upon the world again. This is the character I'm actually embarrassed to be "seen with" and yet I'm playing him again. Craaaazy. It's not that he's going to be mean or violent or visibly purist or anything, he'll be a perfect gentleman and nice to everyone and protective of children and constantly sending little trinkets to the ladies that catch his attention, whether they're single or married. It's that he's such an ICKY PIECE OF WORK underneath it all AND I DON'T LIKE HIM AT ALL. I want to slap a warning sticker on him so characters don't get taken in by him, because otherwise it's likely a lot will because he just SUCKS PEOPLE IN. AND I JUST FLAIL.
But, umm. Yes. Provided he's accepted, hide your females.

HPFandom.net... account suspended... any information to be had?
Per darlinggirl1263 on LJ: The account was suspended for "excessive CPU usage". The mod is working to get things back up and running. We'll just have to wait it out.
ETA: Had a couple of people asking for an older fic - meaning the ones I have not tagged here on IJ yet - so, I figured I'd just link you my LJ tags.
Jesus. I gotta make myself get those old tags done. I mean, it has only been two and one-half years, right? *hates that kind of stuff*

 | 12:08 pm - Vanilla and Kinky and Lifestyle! Oh, my!
To be honest, I hadn't intended on posting anymore about BDSM. Not outside of fic, anyway. But someone asked the difference between kinky sex and Lifestyle. And the answers to this are endless. Especially if you try to use nothing but serious, technical type jargon.
Good thing we all know I'm not so great with sticking to the technical, huh?
So, let's look at this like a bowl of ice cream. ( Because, really, who doesn't like ice cream? )

 | 05:17 am - *flail*;
IN ALL MY RP YEARS I'VE NEVER CHALLENGED A HOLD SOMEONE MADE BEFORE ME. Actually, I don't think I've ever been challenged after making the primary hold, but if I was, it must not have panned out. It's really nerve wracking, I don't know how people do it regularly.
So, PB suggestions? I need a PB for Neville Longbottom, age 21. He's an alternate timeline Neville, so there is another Neville already in play, PB'd by Daniel Cudmore. Originally I was aiming for a blonder PB, but with Daniel being dark-haired it won't work to have a dark-haired Neville and a blonde-haired Neville, at least to me. I'd like my Neville to look different, not just because even the dopple characters need different PBs, but because his life was very distinctly different. Someone thinner, serious and nervous looking, but with the potential to not be either in some icons, would be good.
Also, Megan. NOW YOU REALLY NEED TO DO GINNY.

| 09:07 pm - WOO-HOO!
LOOK AT MY NEW JOURNAL HEADER ARTWORK! JUST LOOK AT IT! IT WAS DONE BY THE INCOMPARABLE MASTEROFMERCURY AND IT IS THE MOST AWESOMEST THING EVER EVER EVER! I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO USE IT AND TONIGHT I ASKED IF I COULD AND SHE SAID YES AND I AM HAPPY CONCEPT, HAPPY, HAPPY CONCEPT!
It is so awesome, in fact, that when she gave me permission to use it I promptly flailed and knocked over my tequila--three times.
I'm so happy it's not even funny. It's even better than seeing a house I liked. For serious. That says something about my priorities, but what the hell. It's so pretty it could even go with For a Reasonable Fee or Comes at a Cost.
This is the happiest day EVAR.
Now go read Naughty Girl. It's the teeny ficlet I did a few years ago for this pic. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
