Okay but why tell me is it good holiday present material?
It absolutely is. The second book in the series is already out, and the third book comes out in January and I’m already burning for it. The second one was just... sjdkhksjdhgksgs.
I just talked to my Mom for the first time since she was in the hospital this weekend with burnout (and really, she had so much bad luck this last year it's not even funny), and although she's better, just having her tell me about all that bad luck and all those terrible problems she had to face has me drained and discouraged. I could cry because I have no idea how to help her, and just seeing all those problems is just paralysing. And it just doesn't stop, each day brings a new blow, and you'd think it isn't even possible, she should have hit rock bottom. But no. And the crux is, I really, really want to help her (even with my limited means), I want to be there for her, but at the same time, I'm glad if I don't have to talk to her and learn about her problems, because it's so draining and depressing, and my own depression doesn't cheer up in company.
Also, I've been to the doctor myself and will now have to wait for a full hormone analysis. Apparently women in my age shouldn't have their period just once a year if they're not on birth control. Do tell. Also, my hormones *could* be the cause for my little orgasm problem, but that's just a wild guess and she wants to send my to a sexual therapist anyways (after conferring with her collegue to find out an fitting option for me), since this problem isn't solved with "Try another position or masturbate once in a while" ("You're an educated and informed woman taking charge of her body and health, so I don't want to just give you the obvious advice and send you home without really helping you.") But since we're at it anyways, she's checking the hormone levels that could influence that, too. And while there's no solution to be expected anytime soon, I still feel kind of relieved that she did take me serious and not just dismiss me. So, my next appointment is in five weeks.
CHOOSE FIVE OTPS WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE QUESTIONS IN THE READ MORE FIRST, THEN TAG FIVE PEOPLE.
I was tagged by beeeinyourbonnet and also by licieoic
I tag justrumbelledearie, aglarnis, robertcarlyle, calmandbalancedpersonhah and theladyofthedarkcastle (no pressure though)
Five OTPs
1. Rumbelle (Rumplestiltskin & Belle)
2. Bennet & Rose (Ripper Street)
3. SanSan (Sansa Stark & Sandor Clegane)
4. Phryne & Jack (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries)
5. Lizzy Bennet and Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice)
Do you remember the episode/scene/chapter that you first started shipping 5.
Erm... No, I don't. Shame on me.
Have you ever read fanfiction about 2.
I TOTALLY WOULD IF THERE WAS ANY. Seriously. There are 92 Ripper Street fics on AO3, five do have that pairing but other pairings too and they aren't explicit (and lbr, that's what I want to read).
Has a picture of 4. ever been your screensaver/profile pic/etc.?
No. But this reminded me that I need some pretty art of them for my little project...
Why is 1. so important?
Because they taught me what shipping really means, opened my way into fandom (and before I fell in love with them, I didn't even know fanfiction existed - I was a total fandom virgin)
Is 4 a serious or funny ship?
what does that even mean. They're seriously funny.
Out of all the ships which one has the most chemistry?
I have to agree with Bee on this. Totally Phryne and Jack. Those two melt the screen with their chemistry.
Out of all the ships which one has the strongest bond?
Rumbelle. It's forever, dearie.
How many times have you watched/read 2. fandom?
Not a lot. Since. There's no fic.
Which ship lasted the longest?
Hm. Rumbelle, probably, but Bennet and Rose married in the last episode of S3 *.*
How many times have 5 broken up?
^^ Pahleeze.
If the world was suddenly thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which ship would come out alive, 1 or 3?
Both. Rumple would just magick the zombies away (thank god) and Sandor is fucking fierce, no way he lets any zombies near his little bird.
Did 4 have to hide their relationship for any reason?
NO THEY JUST KEEP GETTING COCKBLOCKED (quoting Bee)
Is 5 still together?
eternally. yes.
Is 1 canon?
Uh huh. Yep yep yep.
If all five ships were put together in The Hunger Games, who would win?
Rumbelle probably. Lizzy and Darcy wouldn't stop bickering and be to distracted to make it very far, Sandor can do nothing against Rumple's magic (that's why he wins, he's ruthless), Jack would try to keep Phryne from doing something stupid and she wouldn't listen, and Bennet would just stare to heaven, roll up his sleeves and wonder what he did to bring his Rose in such a terrible situation, while Rose would do what has to be done and probably team up with Belle (girlpower, yeah!!!)
Has anyone ever tried to sabotage 5 relationship?
Well, yes.
Which ships would you defend til death and beyond?
ALL OF THEM. Especially Rumbelle.
Have you ever spent hours a day going through 3 Tumblr page?
why, yes. I think I have.
If an evil witch descended from the sky and told you you had to pick one of the five ships to break up forever which ship would you sink?
SanSan, probably. Because I think that Sansa is strong, and would adapt (and man, they got problems), and Sandor would still be her knight in shining armor, just not romantically.
Favorite fictional character: Elizabeth Bennet/ Mr. Darcy
Favorite book: To mix it up a bit, I'm going to sayyyy... The Angélique series by Anne Golon. Certainly the books I read more times than any other (followed closely by Harry Potter).
