Those Aren't Vikings; They're Team Rocket.

Last night, I stayed with

th_esaurus, which was thoroughly delightful. We played silly Pokémon games and rewatched the first Pokémon film (in which the moral is, apparently, 'Pokémon shouldn't fight'. Hmm), and we concluded that L would have a Porygon. (Light has a Banette, as illustrated, but it is visible only to those who have touched the Death Note. Alternatively: a Gengar.)

She also showed me quite a few things relating to, ahem, the Jonas brothers. I concluded that Nick should be a woman and Kevin should have a Death Note. YOU WILL REGRET NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO HIM, WORLD. Of course, as

th_esaurus pointed out, everyone would suspect Joe, so in the end Kevin's plan to make himself noticed through murder wouldn't really work.

Before we went to sleep last night, we had the following mildly horrifying conversation:

RD: Do you actually 'ship Light/Light in a serious way?
Riona: If I could think of a plausible way for Light to meet himself, I would leap upon it immediately. I don't just want some cracky 'oh, there are two Lights now' thing; I want it to make sense. I am ridiculously serious about this stupid pairing. I think it's the most believable one in Death Note.
(pause)
Riona: I'd prefer it if there were two of him, but I would happily read fanfiction in which Light just masturbates whilst thinking about how great he is.
RD: ...I'm a bit shocked to hear you say that.
Riona: I was a bit shocked to realise I was thinking it.

Death Note has obviously done some very bad things to me. Seriously, though, I cannot 'ship Light with anyone but himself. I cannot think of any other character for whom I can believe in only one pairing.

I suppose that makes Light/Light my first OTP, then.

Oh, dear.

(

kadrin actually wrote Light/Kira commentfic for me, because he is amazing.)

In the 'It Just Bugs Me' TVTropes page for Death Note (beware of clicking; TVTropes is an endlessly fascinating Internet black hole and you may be trapped there for hours), which consists mostly of musings on the minutiae of using a Death Note:

Suppose "Steve Jones. Heart attack. Eats a cookie and finishes the milkshake he put in the freezer last night before collapsing on the floor," was written in a Death Note. Before Steve can do any of this, Daniel Plainview drinks his milkshake. Does Steve still eat the cookie before dying?

I laughed until I wept, and I don't know why. I think it's just the fact that people have actually thought about these things.

Tomorrow, I am off to Birmingham for the 'Asylum' Supernatural convention! I have never been to anything remotely conventionish before, so this is to be a new and perhaps slightly frightening experience.

th_esaurus has suggested that I turn up in a Jeffrey Dean Morgan mask. This, I am sorry to say, is probably unlikely.

I'm working on something else before I stab at Light/Light, but it IS still in my head. WE SHALL SEE.

........When did you conclude that Nick should be a woman?

I really hope you do decide to draw it! I am terribly excited.

When I heard how much better he sounded with his girly pre-pubescent voice! IF THERE IS NO NICK JONAS GENDERSWAP OUT THERE, I SHALL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR FANDOM.

OH YES, I REMEMBER THAT. I can't say I've seen any Nick J Genderswap, although I have myself written some. AT LEAST I AM NOT LETTING DOWN THE TEAM.

I found a photo mere minutes ago of girly pre-pubescent voice Nick actually looking like a pre-pubescent girl, and was very tempted to send it to you. (I didn't.)

If I have expressed an interest in girl!Nick, you are most certainly allowed to send me photographs of Nick looking like a girl.

I mean, look at him! SPUNKY LITTLE GIRL NICK.

(You will be pleased (???) to know that even in the early days of less hair and casual clothes, Joe and Nick were in the habit of serenading (http://pics.livejournal.com/th_esaurus/pic/005xa7w6) each other (http://pics.livejournal.com/th_esaurus/pic/005xbkk4).)

Wow, you don't see many rock singers modelling themselves after Little Red Riding Hood.

The Joe in that linked picture looks like some sort of terrifying mannequin. I desperately want to look away, but I can't.

(EDIT: By which I mean the first, but the second is not unalarming.)

I was planning to make a Misha mask for one of the fancy dress parties. I kinda regret not going through it with :(

That would have been fairly amazing, but never mind! I am sure the weekend shall be awesome regardless of masklessness.

I think I might have a look through my many, many SPN magazines and see if any of the pictures are big enough for mask usage.

Just in case.

Have fun in Birmingham! Try not to get shot.

You shall be a two and a half hour train ride away from me while you are in Brum Land.

...I did not mean for that to sound so stalkery.

Also, you're going to be rather near Misha Collins. Hngh.

Thank you! I shall try my best, both to have fun and to avoid bullets. And then I shall return and leave you many mocking 'I SAW MISHA COLLINS IN PERSON AND YOU DIDN'T' comments.

I shall return and leave you many mocking 'I SAW MISHA COLLINS IN PERSON AND YOU DIDN'T' comments.

You're a sweetheart, you really are. XD.

you bitchhh

I wanna go to a convention so bad :(. Damn me living in New York with no money.

Everyone seems to be getting into this Death Note thing. Including my siblings. Hm. Perhaps I should look into it.... ;)

I vote that you look into it! If your siblings are into it, do they have DVDs or manga volumes you could borrow?

Have fun at the con!

Thank you!

RIONA. I have watched the first episode of Death Note and am totally drawn in. \0/

I have another window open with the youtube episodes all queued up and it is massive.

Creepy, dark, and gorgeous and lfvjkhdglfskjg. Love.

VICTORY. I hope you are going to post about your thoughts as you watch!

MOST LIKELY. Seeing as how I babble about everything, anyway. LJ is the ultimate over-share enabler. \0/

Good luck at the convention! Could be lots of fun. Too far south for me I think, plus I'm really bad with crowds. I'd be standing back against the wall looking confused most probably! I shall save myself the embarrassment. Do tell us about it? :D

Also, every type of fic - and thus pairing - can be written at least half-way seriously. See this fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4728760/1/Adaptation) for example. (You should read their other Death Note fics. They are amazing.) Sorry for the plugging, feel free to ignore if you like - I just really like this fic author's stuff. :)

I shall write about any exciting convention adventures I may have had when I return!

I am reading the fic at the moment and enjoying it very much, but I just had to pause to quote the line 'With a natural elegance that had not abandoned him with his penis', because that is just freaking amazing.

I know. It's amazing. I followed them over from FF7 fics - very good writer!

"Those Aren't Vikings; They're Team Rocket."

Oh, Jessie and James and their AMAZING RIDICULOUS costumes!

Also, convention? BEWARE OF THE INSANE SUPERNATURAL FANGIRLS.

Also, convention? BEWARE OF THE INSANE SUPERNATURAL FANGIRLS.

WE'LL FIGHT 'EM.

I love the Team Rocket disguises far too much. I love that Ash and company are always fooled.

Oh, I do hope there are no embarrassing incidents of lunacy.

I also love how Jessie and James both completely embraced crossdressing.

For your sake, I hope there aren't any. For my own evil amusement, I hope there are some, but far away from you.

YAY ASYLUM. For the Hollywood night on Sunday, if you see the Wizard of Oz characters, I'll be Dorothy. Unless there's more than one Dorothy. Either way, I'll be there! Wave or something! :D

I'm so nervous. :(

I shall keep an eye out for you!

We'll be fine! I am sure we shall be fine. All we have to do is not jump on the actors.

This comment is just because

emmarrrrr commented with the same icon just below. Sometimes one simply needs three Master icons in wedge formation.

What did you think of the weekend?
I wish I could've said hello or something!

I'm sorry I didn't see you! I peeked into the disco, but I didn't see a Dorothy, and we were too exhausted to stick around (who knew queueing and sitting down could be so tiring?).

The weekend was wonderful, though! I'm going to try to make some sort of coherent Livejournal entry out of my scattered notes.

YOUR ICON

also i just looked through your icons and THE LAST REMNANT

I AM FRIENDING YOU RIGHT NOW

YES YES YES. I am adding you right back!!!

I don't think I've ever read a character paired with themselves, but I know my sister has read Harry Potter/Harry Potter. Strange strange.

Have fun at the convention! (Don't wear a mask, that would be horrifying.)

I must admit that I am partial to the odd character/him-or-herself fic, but this is the first time I've actually 'shipped such a pairing so seriously. Light is an enormous narcissist who displays no sexual interest in anyone! It makes alarming amounts of sense!

Thank you! (I would love to see the reactions were I to turn up in a Jeffrey Dean Morgan mask, but perhaps not quite enough to try it.)

I just realized I have read some Jared/Sam and Dean/Jensen. They're not the same character obviously but they do look awfully similar :)

I studiously avoided clicking the TvTropes link, as it is half eleven and I have spent the majority of the past three nights/early mornings on there, reading various crowning moment of awesome pages. and a few it just bugs me ones. the one for iron man makes me lol, as does the crowning moment page.

"Any time Robert Downey Jr is on screen, a CMOA has either just happened, is about to happen, or is happening right now. It's that kind of movie. The awesome kind."

Every time I see a link to that website, I think 'I can't click that, I can't, I am sure there are other things I should be doing with my time', and then it is six hours later and I stumble gasping out of the forest of Firefox tabs. Why do I never learn?

also WAT JDM MASK

i kind of want one.

You're going to Asylum?! ... Did you mention this earlier and it completely escaped my attention?

Have fun!!! It's probably a pretty easy-going convention. SPN cons are more about Q&A panels than anything else, there's not a whole lot of dress up going on. Some crazies, but not too many. :D

I think I mentioned it when I booked the ticket, back in November, but not since then.

Thank you very much! I really don't know what to expect, but I hope I'll enjoy myself.

I'm sure you will! The boys are amazing.

Have fun. :D

Thank you!

Great, now my brain's got Clarence the angel from It's A Wonderful Life dragging Light back to when he was innocent and good, and trying to persuade him he can make another choice, only to have Light go "I'm damn hot!", start testing whether the Death Note works on angels, and step over the corpse of poor Clarence to make out with himself.

Why must you put these ideas in my head? Why?

I don't put these ideas in your head! You come up with them entirely on your own. Because you are a genius. (Oh, dear, Clarence, that did not go according to plan.)

Nope, I'm pretty sure that one was you.

(Poor Clarence. He only wanted to teach Light that there were better things than killing.)

I'm aware that you're on Death Note right at the moment but I've gotten back to Merlin and you need to read this NOW as in IMMEDIATELY it's not long. (http://community.livejournal.com/merlin_flashfic/25536.html#cutid1)

Suppose "Steve Jones. Heart attack. Eats a cookie and finishes the milkshake he put in the freezer last night before collapsing on the floor," was written in a Death Note. Before Steve can do any of this, Daniel Plainview drinks his milkshake. Does Steve still eat the cookie before dying?

I just realized that I know this. In the manga, Light did experiments. If he gives them orders they can't fulfill (defies the laws of physics, just doesn't work, involves them revealing information they don't have - specifically L's real name), they do the parts they're capable of, don't do the rest, and still die. So yes, he'd still eat the cookie, even if Daniel Plainview drank his milkshake first. Although, if it was "Steve Jones drinks the milkshake he has in the freezer, and dies of milkshake poisoning", and Daniel drank it instead, I'm not sure what would happen. Maybe nobody would die?

ETA: Actually, Steve Jones would die regardless, because his name was in the death note. If the means of death wasn't there, he'd just have a heart attack (which everyone would blame on all the milkshakes and cookies). Daniel Plainview might die, at least by movie rules, provided Light had put something down like "Steve Jones accidentally spills rat poison in his milkshake and fails to notice" (or something more plausible).
