Finally saw The Last Jedi tonight

And it has awoken all the Ships! Lookout AO3, I’m coming to search your archives...  :-D

My fav evil space boyfriends were back as goofy as ever, so I’m definitely hunting for some ridiculous Kylux action. And that new romancey-vibe between Rey and Kylo has some sexy potential, so I’m definitely up for it. I might even try for some Finn/Poe good guy stuff... maybe... they’re both so sweet and obviously need to be together, it’s just usually I like a bit of dark in my ships. But hey, I’m there for the happy endings.

Seriously, I loved the film and I really want to ship just about every new young character in it now, so there may be some recs coming, folks...

New ship

So Harringrove is a thing and I am totally fucking loving it. Who wudda thought Steve x Billy would be my new next best ship?

So I’m probably late to the party

because I’m not up on pop culture news and happenings these days and am instead quite the old fogey, but I just heard that Wentworth Miller is leaving the Arrowverse, so no more Captain Cold. 

And I’m a bit devastated by that, because ColdFlash remains to this day the ship that holds my fangirl soul it its warm fuzzy hands, and that is entirely due to the genuine sparks between Grant Gustin and Wentworth Miller whenever they were on screen together. Seriously, I know this was a non-canon pairing, but bloody hell, they so sold it whether they meant to or not.

I haven’t watched The Flash in ages, in many ways because I know they’d never canonically get The Flash together with Captain Cold, so I much prefer living in the fanfic world where that is the happy ending I can actually get. I haven’t watched Legends in ages either, because frankly I don’t have much time to watch TV these days. 

But Flash/Captain Cold will always warm my soul and for that I will miss Wentworth Miller in the role, and will always be glad I watched him have so much fun playing it. 

P.S. The other ingredient into why ColdFlash so warms my soul is the wonderful amazing fanfic writers who have adopted it as their ship and written the most wonderful fics and nailed the characters and their relationships just right. So kudos to you all. :-)

So much this in so many ways. As a 40-something sex positive feminist, and as a kinkster with a submissive bent, I'm over women telling other women what they're 'allowed' to do with their bodies. And I get especially pissed off when feminists try to tell women what is the right or wrong thing to do with their own bodies, or what they should or should not desire, or just plain old judge a woman for having sex. Fuck that. Sex work is work. End of story. And if you have a problem with women doing that work, you're not a feminist. Read the article. It's excellent.

So I've been on AO3 and this is bugging me

Look, teenagers, we need to talk. What's with this "teen and up" category on AO3? It has zero smut. Like, barely an occasional tongue kiss. It's got your 'name' on it, so to speak - teens! - but it's just so... so... innocent. But you're teenagers! Walking bags of hormones! Or has adolescence changed since my day? When I was a teenager, discovering smut existed in the world was the best thing ever. It meant I could get up to all sorts by myself long before I was ever ready to venture out with another actual person. It was safe, it was solo, it was grand. Just what the walking bag of hormones, but also totally awkward and intensely introverted, me-as-a-teenager needed. And this was before the Internet provided a ready supply of the good stuff at the click of a rather-sticky-mouse button. I tell you, if AO3 had existed in the late 80s/early 90s, I'd never have left my bedroom. Pfft. Kids today, I tell you. :-D

Thank the gods for Tumblr

Because Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield totally went Spideypool at the Golden Globes and I almost lost my pants then and there. Woosh, there they went, flying right off me.

:-D

Fuck me, but if this world were a good and true place, Spiderman wouldfeature in the Deadpool sequel and he’d spend a chunk of time in bed with Deadpool. Which is possibly why Marvel is never going to give me a job writing their movies, but that’s just their loss, humph.

Anyway, this awesome thing happens and does my social media go nuts over it? No! Not a sign of it on Facebook, not a mention on Twitter, I don’t even get any close up gifs on fucking Instagram. Instead it’s all clips of Meryl Streep (which, okay, is totally deserved, she’s fantastic and her speech was brilliant, go Meryl) and even Ryan Gosling’s own speech (which, yes, was quite a bit heartbreaking, and maybe might have almost made me cry and also deserves to be shared). 

But what about the Ryan Reynolds-Andrew Garfield pash? Nothing! Not. A. Thing. And I can’t even post it myself without looking shallow, and also because I’ve already posted the Gosling and the Streep clips and I don’t even watch the fucking Golden Globes, because awards shows are Not My Thing.

So I come to Tumblr. Ah, Tumblr. It’s everywhere on Tumblr. 

I love you Tumblr.

Yay Spideypool. Now I’m going to go watch that gif of Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield kissing again. Because a girl can never have too much of that.

io9 story headline: Matt Ryan really regrets not getting naked on Constantine

Well fuck, don’t we all? 

Seriously, in the hierarchy of regrets in this life, Matt Ryan not getting naked on Constantine is pretty fucking high up there for all of us, I should think.
