It Is Destiny, My Love! Destiny and Chicken!

[rionaleonhart]

I was planning to make this entry tomorrow, as I've already updated today, but I've just realised that I had a piece of non-contributory work due three days ago and completely forgot about it. My panic about the dissertation deadlines of the seventeenth of May is actually causing me to lose my mind. I dread to think of what I'll be like after another three months of this. (5,500 words down; 16,500 to go!)

Therefore, it is probably exactly the time for an entry of lovely and non-stressful things.




Many people seem to be having a difficult time at the moment, so shall we have a post of happiness? I would like to invite you to fill the comments with things that make you smile. Write absurdly fluffy ficsnippets! Come up with stupid crossover ideas! Post pictures of kittens! Link to that YouTube clip that makes you grin until your cheeks ache! Doodle daft comics in MS Paint! Talk about the characters or pairings you love and why you love them! Manip Pokémon into Merlin screenshots! Tell other commenters what you like about them! (And feel free to link to this on your own journals, if you feel your friends would either want to contribute or enjoy the contributions.)

There are no scores, but, if there were, Charlie Brooker/David Mitchell ficsnippets would totally get extra points.

Oh hey, your picture is relevant to my dissertation, because "wun" is not anything like how I pronounce "one". That got ME excited because I plan to have a whole section on this issue.

...but you didn't want to talk about that.

I saw this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ3gPXVMWRY) whilst watching piano videos on YouTube the other day and it made me think of you.

[rionaleonhart]

Oh, my goodness, I love that piano cover. It's so pretty! Thank you for the link!

Is the difference in the way in which you pronounce 'one', the way in which you would pronounce 'wun', or both?

I OFFER YOU THESE:

Adorable ASL interpretation of Party in the USA.



Adorable RDJ dancing.

[littlemoose.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, thank you for the ASL guy, I needed that smile - his interpretation of Still Alive is legendary :)

[rionaleonhart]

Oh, my goodness, that ASL dance! I cannot remember the last time I was so charmed by a video! MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING.

And ahahaha, RDJ, you dork!

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

OOoooh the ASL song. He's got links! And translations for word choices! MUST LEARN NOW.

(Hi, ASL student, incredibly excited and happy) THANK YOU THIS IS COOL.

[treelines.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I have a crush on the ASL guy. :DDDDD

HIS SMIIIILE!!!

[spastic-visions.livejournal.com]

OH MY. The ASL guy totally made my day.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

AWWWWW.



Fluffy Top Gear Dog makes me happy.

Look at their fluffy little faces!



And missing a deadline is too bad, I hope it doesn't have any terrible consequences :/.

[rionaleonhart]

I hope it doesn't have any terrible consequences

Not a terribly reassuring thing to say, but a well-wishing at heart, so thank you! The actual piece of work shouldn't affect my final degree, but I'm a bit worried because it was for a tutor I've only had for a few weeks, so I don't imagine I've made a great impression.

Onto happier things: Labradoodles! Adorable!

some happy times for rd

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

1) Not crying.



2) Nick's song Olive and an Arrow.



3) Talking to people about certain things.



4) Sleeping.



5) When Joe forgets how people act in polite society.



If you give me a reference picture I'm lazy I will MS Paint you some Brooker/Mitchell!

Re: some happy times for rd

[rionaleonhart]

THESE ARE ALL DELIGHTFUL. I particularly enjoy the IM window and Joe's inappropriateness. (I hope 'Olive and an Arrow' is literally about an olive and an arrow. This is what I have come to expect of Nick Jonas.)

I have no idea what you need in a reference picture, so I apologise if I've got this completely wrong, but here are two pictures of Charlie Brooker looking like your evil overlord:








And here are three pictures of David Mitchell looking repressed, adorable and slightly green, respectively:











(Even if I've got this wrong, at least this entry now contains pictures of Brooker and Mitchell!)

[futuresoon.livejournal.com]

--well there is this Baccano AMV that just makes me ridiculously happy. And it does not really require knowledge of the series! Mostly the AMV is just violence, swing music, and awesome ladies being awesome, which is pretty much what the series is about anyway. So here it is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiSI_bYVl24), if you are interested!

[rionaleonhart]

I am rather confused, I have to say, but that was pretty awesome!

[yumiboo.livejournal.com]

Oh, Oh, posts of happiness! :3

You've sort of flung me onto the Brooker/Mitchell bandwaggon, so I figured I'd try and write a little something please note the word try.

David didn't know why he was here right now. Him. Charlie. One minute, David was politely extending an invitation for a casual drink and the next thing he knows, it's the next day and Charlie is just sat there with a flowery mug in his hands looking like he normally does - slightly put out, and miserable. The constant thoughts of 'Am I only a distraction?', 'Has he noticed that he's only a distraction?' and 'Why does he keep looking at me like I've just squished a kitten?' lingered in the space that most other, and possibly (and questioningly) normal people would have filled with idle and awkward conversatiosn about the weather or some other political media-hyped nonsense as some sort of a guess. Maybe that was why it worked: the two of them were already awkward and somewhat socially inept that just being able to have a cup of tea together in complete and utter silence (with one of only two CD's playing in the background) was good enough.

Also, just letting you know that, if it's ok with you, I shall be adding you onto my friends list :3 I can't help it, your entries are just so addictive. That and timydamonkey said I should stop being such a wimp and just do it... ta da?

[rionaleonhart]

I remember you! Hello!

And, oh, this is a lovely snippet! 'Am I only a distraction?', 'Has he noticed that he's only a distraction?' - my heart. I just love the fact that they're being awkward together, and in a way their combined awkwardness makes it both more and less awkward.

Adding is always very welcome!

[dancesontrains.livejournal.com]

halfamoon!



Chii, has a themetune! :3



This always cheers me up <3



As does this!

[rionaleonhart]

1) HAPPY ANIMATED SINGING CAT. ADORABLE.

2) I really need to watch more Psych at some point, especially given the amount of dorky dancing it apparently contains. But perhaps not until I am under slightly less degree-induced stress.

3) I have no idea why this exists, but I think I am glad it does.

[littlemoose.livejournal.com]

Giant Mechanical Elephant, anyone?



also, this version of Hamlet (http://www.angelfire.com/art2/antwerplettuce/hamlet.html) never fails to make me giggle.

[rionaleonhart]

Hamlet and the queen are no longer friends: brilliant. (I am also rather fond of 'Polonius says Hamlet's crazy ... crazy in love!', and the 'moody princes' interest-removal. And the name of the play event! And Claudius' comment!)

[hold-onhope.livejournal.com]

To add to the random unicorn-ness of this post, have a cracktastic SPN fic!

The Unicorn Who Used Up Dean's Shampoo (http://maskedfangirl.livejournal.com/6926.html), part one of a series in which a very crude unicorn befriends the Winchesters, Dean and Castiel attempt to capture Lucifer by luring him under a box with chips and then pulling the string, and there is a lot of candy.

Enjoyyy. :)

[rionaleonhart]

Ahahaha, angry unicorns are the best unicorns. Thank you for the link!

TICK TOCK IT'S BUMKISS O'CLOCK.

Sir Charlton Brooker, patron saint of slashers.

[rionaleonhart]

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, but THUMBS UP REGARDLESS.

[darkest-alchemy.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about you forgetting about the piece of work, that sucks. (I have weird dreams about doing stuff like that even now, which is a bit odd)

(stupid crossover ideas - I'm writing it, heh. Though it's more stupid for involving at least 5 fandoms than any other reason)

I believe this counts as a fluffy and absurd ficsnippet, if not an absurdly fluffy one:

"This wasn't what I had in mind when I asked about wings," Dean says. He tries to focus on the wings and not on, well, you know, other parts of the angel. Other parts that are normally concealed by that stupid suit and trenchcoat only in this dream... they're not.

"It was exactly what you had in mind," Castiel informs him, flapping his wings a bit. Soft, downy feathers flutter over the carpet. "My true wings do not look like this but your mind chose to see them in this form because it is what you expected."

"Oh," says Dean, wondering why this means Cas is shedding everywhere if the wings are just a product of his feeble human imagination. He wonders too why he *really* wants to touch the wings. "Cas, can I...?"

"Yes Dean."

Dean reaches and strokes Castiel's left wing, running his fingers first over the sleeker feathers on top and then down to the underside. There the feathers are... fluffy. Definitely fluffy. It's... nice; it makes him think about warmth... comfort... safety. Of course moving to touch the wing has caused him to shift his own position, so that their bodies have become aligned and pressed rather close together, but it takes him a moment to realise this. "Cas?" he says finally.

"Yes Dean?"

"Why are you naked?"

Castiel gives a flick of the eyes downwards before peering at Dean with something on his face that definitely looks like a smirk. "Why are you?"

[rionaleonhart]

I love the last line! Ahahaha, not even hunters can escape the embarrassment of sudden clothing-loss in dreams. And Castiel smirks!

Thank you!

I think I received subliminal message once to spread these commercials to the whole world. However, they are very fitting to this post:

[rionaleonhart]

Animals in clothes tend to unsettle me a bit, but those are terribly cute adverts. (The jarringness of the endings is hilarious.)

[mythtaken.livejournal.com]

(http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn253/mythtakenpics/AHAHAHAHAHA/?action=view&current=mommy-the-pooh-lr.jpg)

What really makes this picture for me is that the dad kind of looks like a slightly chubbier version of the Trickster from SPN.

[rionaleonhart]

the dad kind of looks like a slightly chubbier version of the Trickster from SPN.

My goodness, he does! He certainly has the smirk.

(This picture became ten times better when I saw the URL in the corner.)

Also, if it streams to where you are, shiba inu puppy cam (http://www.ustream.tv/sfshiba).

[rionaleonhart]

Well, what matters is that it streams for someone; the happiness in these comments isn't all for me. But, as it happens, it does work, and those puppies are adorable!

The ASCII Mudkip, meanwhile, is awesome and I liek it very much.

[subtle-rift.livejournal.com]

A visit to the Happiness Generator (http://www.cracked.com/forums/topic/23218/the-pwot-happiness-generator) is never a waste of time.

[rionaleonhart]

That's a great thread. Thank you for the link!

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

I'll take any fluffy prompts that come up in the next day (travel after that - may not have internet). I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I'll be happy to attempt to make some,.

Unicorns, kittens, big-eared foxes, labradoodles, and other fluffy creatures all welcome.

[picaropicara.livejournal.com]

Sadly I have little happiness to bring to the table this week, it is deadlines tiemz for me too.

But this description of Rasputin, for some reason, makes me very very happy: "the lecherous, gourmandising libertine... a servant to all that was hedonistic and sensuous..."

I can't even remember where it's from, just that a friend read it to me once and it for some reason sent me into fits of giggles. I'm smiling now just thinking about it. I get the urge to end arguments with it sometimes.

Just say it out loud, "FIE ON THEE, LECHEROUS, GOURMANDISING LIBERTINE." There, don't you feel better?

This was a very long comment for a very short and unamusing anecdote. I apologise.
