And All You Can Taste Is Iron At The Back Of Your Throat.

[rionaleonhart]

I just had a conversation with moogle62 that included the phrase 'necessary paedophilia thoughts'. It has left me massively, ridiculously happy. (Not just, I hasten to clarify, because of the necessary paedophilia thoughts.)

Here is an illustration of an aspect of the conversation:




Yeah, it was pretty much the best thing ever.

(Other topics of conversation: Derren Brown swearing is hotter than it has any right to be; Derren Brown and the Doctor are the best duo ever (they freaking are. Our collaborative fic is now eight thousand words long and nowhere near finished and I love it so much. DERREN BROWN GETS INTO RIDICULOUS TROUBLE WHEREVER HE GOES. THE DOCTOR CANNOT TAKE HIM ANYWHERE); Derren Brown is a gigantic freak who hammers nails into his nose for fun. I have worried about the 'hammering a nail into the nose' act ever since seeing Something Wicked This Way Comes, because I can see absolutely no point at which the clearly real nail can be exchanged with a trick one, and now moogle62 has informed me that the 'trick' is, in fact, 'Derren Brown hammers a solid nail into his head'. WHO DOES THAT, DERREN BROWN? WHO THINKS 'I KNOW WHAT I SHALL DO EVERY DAY ON MY TOUR: I SHALL WALK ON GLASS AND DRIVE A NAIL INTO MY SKULL'? YOU ARE A RIDICULOUS MASOCHIST.)


(EDIT: Oh! The official Derren Brown blog is offering MP3 files of the commentary on Trick of the Mind Series One, so if you had problems accessing the commentary on your DVD (or if you just feel like listening to Derren Brown giving commentary out of context, I suppose) you may want to check that out.)

Where's the Top Gear crossover?

I am also vaguely interested in what Derren sees in Silent Hill. "Hey, Pyramid Head! Yeah, sure, stab me, I don't care."

And hahaha, does Sam do a bit of OMG YOU ARE A MAGICIAN OF SORTS awesome fanboying? He should! And Dean should want to shoot Derren with rocksalt, and attempt to sneakily mutter Christo around him and throw salt at him secretly.

I seem to be stuck writing that. Possibly two, because I want to do something cracky and ridiculous to get into the amnesia category of the crackfic list and make Derren Brown's Emergency Backup Dancers officially canon (er, fanon), and my brain wants to do something creepy and horrible because both "Hypnotists mess with Richard Hammond, kind of freaking him out" and "Derren Brown does horribly creepy things to people involving nursery rhymes and giant needles" are canon!

Yes, I'm a bit predictable on the "Doing disturbing things to fictional Richard Hammond" front, but...at least it's fictional Richard Hammond? And this one would possibly be nastier for Jeremy, anyway.

I'm looking forward to Dean's reaction to Derren Brown as well. IT can only be awesome.

And, while I'm not reposting the actual manip again (having subjected Riona to it twice already), I think it's pretty clear what happens when Derren Brown goes to Silent Hill: http://pics.livejournal.com/amy_wolf/pic/000064p9/

I think Jeremy would LOVE Derren's Emergency Backup Dancers, especially if they were pretty women. He's probably famous enough for the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment anyway, and then Jeremy can go 'hey, Derren, cure Hammond of his hypnotistphobia, will you, mwuhahahaha'. And James can be reasonable and go 'um, Jeremy, I don't think that's a good idea' and Hammond will either flee or try to pick a fight with Derren.

So, Derren is Pyramid Head's long lost brother? Or son?

The plan is that Derren, true to the spirit of his tv specials, kidnaps them all, erases their memories, and arranges for them to wake up a deserted warehouse, wandering around in confusion. It's part of his plot to learn the identity of the Stig (much like the CIA's trying to do in the other, far longer amnesia fic with Some Mongolian Guy who keeps trying to get slash with Richard, which I will post when I've won the crackfic list challenge, or it's done, whichever comes first). Assorted middle bits happen, it all goes wrong, and Derren blows his whistle, resulting in a crowd of backup dancers rushing out and distracting everyone with their spangly costumes and choreography. Derren flees in the confusion, and the Stig has to fix everyone's memory so they can go home.

I think at some point someone (probably James) should point out that there are far easier ways to find out who the Stig is.

Perhaps by, say, doing something that doesn't involve wiping their memories.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

James would totally point that out. Probably after Derren ended up fleeing in a cloud of dancers.

Derren, however, isn't one to take the simple approach. I saw the Russian Roulette thing, and the whole "How do I pick someone?" procedure? Yeah, not one for doing things the simple way.

Derren is just a big show-off.
