For the ship ask game: Padme/Anakin

1. what made you ship it?

stolen slave-child turned state-sanctioned war criminal who also happens to be trashfire space jesus falls in love with incredibly powerful and deeply idealistic woman he cannot be with? and it both dooms and saves the galaxy? sign me the fuck up

2. what are you favorite things about the ship?

how unhinged they are about each other! the way padmé's incisiveness and judgement just completely go to shit whenever anakin is in the picture! the desperation! the tragedy!

also listen,,,,,,,, anakin in rots is a whole problem for me

3. is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

people who think anakin and vader are two separate characters are stupid and also wrong <3

oh! also this: anidala is more toxic than reylo by like. several parsecs.

send me a ship!

somephoneme replied to your post: lol Why am I looking at wedding gowns online? We...

Wedding gowns are made of crack. I went with a friend to a fitting, and it was all I could do not to beg to try on a bunch of dresses myself.

My bff is getting married (lol I'm maid of honor) and I am biting my tongue to not like give ALL MY OPINIONS on wedding dresses because omg shut up, Karen. It's not your wedding and she hasn't asked your opinion.

somephoneme replied to your post: Its ridiculous, people who say Sandor isnt good enough

The issue isnt good enough. Its can he play a positive role in her life. The books give evidence in both directions. My shipping is a matter of hoping things go in the yes direction rather than then no direction.

Yes--thank you, that is much better way of wording it. Thank you.

Hes too much of a gentleman to notice the odor.

somephoneme said: Ken! When the show started, I assumed he was the douchiest because I’m silly, but he just quietly wrote his stories, supported Peggy, kept writing his stories, and and and. Not my fave b/c he isn’t messed up enough, but so full of love for him.

I think Ken did have some douchey moments early on, but yeah. He's mostly just in the background, doing his job and writing his stories. He's not exactly my favorite character because he is kinda boring. But yeah. I still love him!

Also I really like referring to him as Ken Cosgrove, Accounts.

When you have time could you recommend some Sansa/Jaime fic? That's a ship that has tremendous potential, but I've been burned by stories that were just putting pretty together to be pretty. I can't read a story that doesn't leave me aware that he threw her brother out a window, though it doesn't need to be stated outright. Thanks for reading this request!

Anything by Laine or Justadram is really great! One of my favorite of Laine’s is Through Vaults of Pain, it makes a canon-AU Jaime/Sansa seem very plausible/in character! I also really love Snow by jadeandlilac, for the got-exchange (need to add community to see fic), which is a fabulous and really smart retelling of Snow White using ASOIAF characters. Really, I highly recommend asking Laine (laineymont on Tumblr) for some recs, though, because Jaime/Sansa is her OTP and she’ll know where the goods are better than I would. XD

somephoneme replied to your post: So you’re a FNL and ASOIAF fan, so I wanted to get your impressions of the following hypothesis: if Ned and Cat Stark were reincarnated together in Texas, they’d be Coach and Tami Taylor. They have a healthy, realistic relationship. He has an under-responsible alcoholic best friend who’s really bad at marriage. She has a tricky relationship with her sister. I’m not fooling myself, am I?

Yeah, the trick is that Buddy, with all his weaknesses, is a much better person than Robert.

Yeah and Buddy grows as a person over the course of the show whereas Robert... does not.

Friday Night Lights?

According to Tumblr, the best show on TV and woefully, grossly unappreciated. Ended perfectly rather than going out with a sputter so that's always a pleasant surprise. A whole lot of likable people play football and are inspirational and have normal person problems and it's all just really feel-good and there don't seem to be any characters that anyone hates so kudos there. Also Mitt Romney stole the tag line from this show for his campaign and all these people associated with the show got hella pissed about that and wrote awesome smackdowns about how the values of FNL are not that of Romney's so he should find his own damn slogan, so they get major points for that!
