You Are Doing Well, Subject 15837. You Are A Good Person.

[rionaleonhart]

This is an entry of many unconnected things!

- Here is a rather well-done Flash version of Portal (for those who aren't familiar with Portal: it's a puzzle game in which you try to reach your goal by creating portals that lead to each other and harnessing THE POWER OF PHYSICS). It works surprisingly well in two dimensions, and there is a real sense of achievement when you work out how to get past a tricky point. The portal controls (mouse to aim, Q to fire the blue portal and E for yellow, or the left mouse button for whatever isn't the last colour you fired) aren't as intuitive as they could be, I feel, but perhaps that's because I'm using a trackpad. (Use the arrow keys to move and jump.)

- I actually rather like the Eleventh Doctor's outfit. Possibly this is because I can easily envision the elder of my brothers wearing it, and the idea of one's younger brother being the Doctor is rather cool. Well, until one remembers that the writers are probably going to blow up his siblings in a supernova for the angst potential. I'd better stay away from any supernovae until Twelve appears. (Actually, it's probably not a great idea to wander into a supernova no matter what the Doctor is wearing.)

- DEAR ELEVEN: PLEASE GROW SOME EYEBROWS. Perhaps your eyebrowlessness is supposed to emphasise how alien you are (although the actor himself doesn't appear to have eyebrows, so unless he's a Time Lord...), but I find it really disconcerting.

- I really, really want some Derren Brown hetfic, and I don't know why. Is it just because there isn't any? Is it because he is so very, very charming to the women on his shows (just before he ties them up and throws them into a lake)? Is it because I am contrary enough to want a pairing just because it contradicts a character's established sexuality? I hope it's not some sort of subconscious self-insertion desire; that would be very embarrassing. Whatever the reason, whenever Derren Brown strays anywhere near a lady in anything I am writing, I immediately want to pair him up with her. (Then again, more or less the same thing happens whenever Derren Brown is near a man. Apparently I just want to pair him up with everyone.)

- I think there should be fanfiction in which Derren Brown and Misha Collins meet. What would happen? I have no idea, but it needs to be written. One mocks his fans incessantly; the other sends them to sleep, then kidnaps them and abandons them in Morocco. They could get on marvellously.

- I've started rewatching Fullmetal Alchemist, and it seems I'd somehow managed to forget how soul-crushingly depressing the anime is. The manga isn't the happiest thing in the world, certainly, but the anime just piles eight million bricks on the viewer's chest. The third episode makes me cry so much.

- Somehow, I managed to come away from Sunday's episode of Top Gear with the impression that Sienna Miller/Jeremy Clarkson would be sort of cute. I don't know.

- Help, help, I think I 'ship Mitchell and Webb.

What's wrong with shipping Mitchell and Webb?! I've been at it for months; it's delicious! :)

Help, help, I think I 'ship Mitchell and Webb.

Who doesn't? I mean, they had to overtly deny it on that one interview for Magicians. (And, luckily, since I know my half-held occasional RPF desires are fictional, having something denied only makes it easier to write. Fictionally.) And they've got such good chemistry. It makes their show work.

In short, shipping Mitchell and Webb is much saner than writing a mentalist into every fandom in the world and then making him pansexual, BUT I THINK YOU KNEW THAT.

My icon seems rather pleased. :DDD

Apparently it's become fashionable (http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jul/20/style-models-eyebrows) to bleach your eyebrows so it appears you're completely lacking. I'm convinced they're just copying Eleven.

I'm fine with Eleven's outfit, except that I HATE BOWTIES.

His eyebrowlessness is curious... I mean, I have blond eyebrows so you can hardly see them (without makeup), but Matt Smith has dark hair. Weird.

My lady. May I sincerely pimp out the kink meme that I set up last year. It is in my memories, and there is some excellent Mitchell/Webb there.
Of course, may I remind you that 'shipping Mitchell and Webb is PERFECTLY NORMAL BEHAVIOUR.

If Misha and Derren meet, I fear for the fans at the next SPN conventions. Wait, Misha would practise the skills he learned from Derren on Jared and Jensen first, wouldn't he? Hours of fun!

- I am now irrationally convinced that at least one of your brothers is secretly a Time Lord, and if it isn't literally the fate of the world depending on it, you shouldn't open any stray pocket watches lying around.

- I have no idea what species Matt Smith is, but I don't think he's actually a Time Lord.

- I'm trying to remember that thing I read which made it sound like Derren Brown had tried things with women, involving his creepy seduction powers, back when he was still pretending to not be gay. It wasn't the whole "Look at me, Derren, look me in the eye" interview, but something. This is going to drive me nuts trying to remember it.

Also, please no Derren Brown/me. I'm already annoyed that you apparently wish my DEATH in as much as you ship me with Sam "Penis of Death" Winchester.

- Derren Brown and Misha Collins meeting would be the greatest and best thing in the universe, and you should write it right now.

- Sienna Miller/Jeremy Clarkson would be sort of cute. Although not as cute as Sienna Miller/Stig naughty driving lessons fic (NOT ACTUALLY SPEAKING WOULD NOT INHIBIT THE STIG'S ABILITY TO GIVE DRIVING LESSONS, SHUT UP!!!).

They're the other Mac and PC, I think I am REQUIRED to ship them.

Happy really belated Birthday!!!! I'm glad that you had an awesome day and your Derren Brown finger puppet is amazing. I hope you have a fantastic year, although I don't see how you couldn't, now that Derren Brown: Finger Puppet! can follow you everywhere.

I think that's one of the reasons why I can't watch the anime (either one, really). It's just too depressing. Also, I am constantly shocked by how colorful things are.

I got to Level 15 on that Portal game before I gave up. Will give it another try tomorrow when it's not 3:30 in the morning. (I remember seeing the trailer to that game way back when; gave me such a headache).

I watched the anime and read the manga concurrently, so I wasn't quite as depressed with regards to the anime. It was very nice knowing that in some alternate universe, Ed didn't end up dancing with the gypsies in Germany. *g*

I think there should be fanfiction in which Derren Brown and Misha Collins meet. What would happen? I have no idea, but it needs to be written. One mocks his fans incessantly; the other sends them to sleep, then kidnaps them and abandons them in Morocco. They could get on marvellously.

This already has its plot, you're like five minutes away from writing it. Misha would mock until Derren did something and made Misha suggest that they go to Morocco, and then when they were in Morocco, Misha would suddenly and very easily mock himself for Derren's amusement and perhaps have sex with him. If Derren asked nicely (meaning, if Derren had convinced Misha that the only way he wouldn't get abandoned is if they eventually did it.)

See, Marvelous.

Also, the cake is a lie.
