speaking of fandom

[thirty2flavors]

Haven't made a public/fandomy post in a while so here goes!

Has anyone ever watched that show "The Moment of Truth"? I just saw about ten minutes of it and I can't get my head around how stupid it is. For those who are unaware, here's what I understand the premise is: someone agrees to answer X number of obscenely personal questions while connected to a lie detector. The show then "randomly" selects 1/2X of those questions to ask them on air. If they answer everything honestly (and basically don't chicken out by refusing to answer or lying) they get half a mill. Questions include "have you cheated on your current girlfriend?" and other life-shattering inquiries. I just... I don't get it. Okay, so you could win half a million (before taxes) -- but you also potentially destroy all your interpersonal relationships. Why? Why? And of course the audience boos angrily whenever someone answers "yes" to a bad question, and of course there's a woman who goes "THAT ANSWER IS ... [insert unneccessarily long pause for dramatics].... TRUE..." and of course the show picks all the questions where the answer was embarassing.

Did I mention I hate reality TV and game shows?

Except The Mole. Fuck yes, the Mole was so awesome.

What else? For anyone who's seen Hairspray or had to listen to the credits music constantly for five months and watches Doctor Who: this is so comically appropriate.

Also the first chapter of Breaking Dawn is failtastic. All I want from Breaking Dawn now is for Jacob and Tanya to hook up and be totally awesome, leaving Edward and Bella to wallow in their failure marital bliss. And lawl, northern Canada. Sup Jake?

Whatever muse I once had has apparently died a violent death. It's like pulling teeth to write five coherent sentences, I swear. It's basically to the point I don't even want to write. I don't know, but it sucks. I also fail at writing commitments because of it -- I didn't finish anythingbutgrey's birthday fic on time, I've owed pirate_smile a letter for like ninety years, and I only just finished the letter I've owed latine for one hundred years. Not to mention Silly Love Songs is rolling in a pit of failure, haha.

I also mean to write a Harry/Hermione fic for afterthree's "someting unexpected" challenge, because coming from me there's nothing more unexpected than an uncanon shippy fic about the Trio, wtf.

Anyway, in the spirit of attempting to kick myself into gear, here's a meme:

Reply with a character or pairing i'm familiar with and i'll write a few sentences of fic.

Note the "few sentence" part; I promise nothing complete or whole in any form, I just kinda wanna... force myself to write stuff. Yeaah. And if you happen to give me a Twilight pairing, please note that I have never, ever written Twilight before because that would mean I'd have to actually put thought into Smeyer's characters.

I grow quite weary of Bella's fanficcy, pretentious internal monologue, too. Breaking Dawn IS gonna suck.

AND YES THAT'S THE MOLE, HAHAHA, I love that show. At the moment I don't watch any reality TV shows but when the Mole comes back I'm totally watching it.

Ugh yes, me too. Basically, i hate bella. And edward. And her mother was SOOO oc in that chapter! it was like...all of a sudden she APPLAUDS it? what the hell? And her father didnt even try to beat up edward. LAMEEE
oh well
I'll probably read it for laughs. And to mock it. And the fans. teehee

omg i love that show. The tasks they get are always so complicated and they really have to work together and stuff. fun fun. and how everyone's obsessing about who the mole is. it should come back here. but we just had a season so itll probably be a while >

I hate Bella and Edward too. Bella more than Edward, but pretty much both of them. OMFG I KNOW! I wanted Renee and Charlie to freak out, but instead they did NOTHING. It was like the worst example of parenting I've ever seen. Faaaaail.

haha I know! And I love trying to figure out who the Mole is. There hasn't been a season here for like... six years or something, but apparently a new one's coming out this month or next month, I am excited.

If my mother would do that, id scream " WHY DONT YOU LOVE ME" and cry for 2 days. Or something.
i hate how overprotective edward is. Seriously, loser. And how bella was all depressed and like, wanted to kill herself because he left. GET A FREAKING LIFE!

& as for the fic, i would be very happy eith just a few lines of harry/ginny (how predictable) when you have the time =)
