My dad doesn't let me borrow his gun to kill people. He's very strict about that.

...Really? Really?

...I don't even know, man. But it's FOX, and we all know how Fox deals with science fiction, amirite.


A vein in my left eyelid is spasming. It has been doing so for approx. 24 hours now and is really annoying. I googled it and just found a lot of advice to get more sleep (yeah, thanks, like I didn't already know my sleep patterns are inadequate but I CAN'T FIX THAT), drink less caffeine (hdu), and wait for it to go away on its own (...). You have failed me, Google.


I still need to watch this week's Being Human, but I don't want to do so while my eyelid is throbbing because I won't be able to pay the proper amount of attention. :( WAS IT EPIC? I BET IT WAS EPIC.

a feeling inside in the back of my head like a song you still know from so long ago...

Has everyone read this post? It's about the desexualizing of same-sex relationships in fandom and about asexual relationships in fandom and about asexual invisibility in slash (and wider) fandom and many related things and it is very very good and I thumbs-up it. A lot of the comments are excellent as well.

In very much related news, I have an itch to write fic about Kevin Donnelly coming to terms with his own asexuality even if he doesn't have a label for it (because I'm not sure Kevin would have a label for it).

There's a part of me that keeps saying no, I can't do that, it would be entirely too soapboxish and using someone else's character to explore my own thoughts about my own sexuality. On the other hand, that voice says pretty much the same things when I want to make an original character asexual and actually explore that in my original fic, as well. And you know what? I want asexual characters, and I want fic about asexual characters, and nobody's going to just hand that to me...the best place to start is by writing some myself, right?

To complicate matters more, actually writing that fic would probably necessitate a canon rewatch and also I'm not in a great writing space right now...aside from a couple hundred words of Better Than It Sounds every few days, I'm not really writing anything worthwhile right now. And it's up for debate if Better Than It Sounds is worthwhile anyway. ;)


...I swear tomorrow I will post things that have like squee and whatever in it.
