Are You Okay?

[rionaleonhart]

Having watched the sixteenth episode of the fifth series of Waterloo Road, I can say with confidence that Josh Stevenson is the most adorable person in the history of the universe. Never before have I made such an array of squeaking noises. I want everyone to give him a million hugs, except I don't really because time he spends being hugged by other people is time when I'm not hugging him myself. (Tom is allowed and indeed required to hug him, though.)


NEW TERRIBLE WATERLOO ROAD CROSSOVER IDEA: Waterloo Road merges with Balamb Garden. All of a sudden, the Waterloo Road students need to learn how to use magic and fight monsters and summon gods without destroying everything within a five-mile radius NO FINN I SAID WITHOUT DESTROYING EVERYTHING FOR GOODNESS' SAKE PUT IFRIT AWAY.

I suggest this mainly because I want to see what happens when one puts Finn Sharkey and Seifer Almasy in a classroom together. I imagine the answer is 'the instructor has a breakdown'. (Oh, dear, Finn would flirt so much with Quistis. She's not falling for you, Finn.)

Josh doesn't take terribly well to killing things. He sort of stands in the background when Seifer and Finn are sizing each other up. Occasionally he smiles awkwardly at Raijin and Fujin. Maybe just Raijin, because Fujin can be a bit intimidating.


There's also the terrible crossover idea of having Ruby from Supernatural possess Ruby of Waterloo Road. Finn reminds me quite strongly of Dean in some ways, so perhaps he and Josh can team up to go saving people, hunting things. Why is Ruby around, though? Does one of the pupils have demon blood?

...oh, of course. It's Sambuca. Sam.

If I'm going to go with this stupid name thing, I suppose Jo the fifth-series French teacher needs to take the place of Supernatural's Jo. But without any implied crush on the Dean-equivalent, because Jo is far too down-to-earth to fall for Finn's charms and also a lesbian.

I shouldn't be allowed to have ideas.


I was going to say 'I'm going to have to write all of these, aren't I? If I don't write stupid Waterloo Road crossovers, who will?' But then I checked fanfiction.net, and, erm...

"Well, this is it...We're going to Waterloo Road school..." Phineas said, with a blank face.

[...]

"Don't worry, Phineas. Summer vacation may be over, but you never know, Waterloo Road might be awesome." Isabella smiled, not knowing what Waterloo Road is actually like.

Phineas, Isabella and Ferb were, after all, only ten, they didn't watch Waterloo Road on tv.

what

(And it looks as if the author has given Phineas a tragic backstory to fit in with the general tone of Waterloo Road. I - I can't read this.)

I am delighted that someone has crossed over Waterloo Road and Phineas and Ferb. Which is odd, as I've seen neither show.

[rionaleonhart]

I can't bring myself to read it properly, but some part of me is pleased that it exists. What a wonderful world.

GO WATCH PHINEAS AND FERB RIGHT NOW, YOUNG LADY. IT IS AMONG THE BEST THINGS EVER AND EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IT.

It has a semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal of action! How could you anyone not love it?

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Won't!

*sticks tongue out*

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

B-B-B-BUT. B-B-B-BUT. IT IS THE BEST THING, WOLFY. THE BEST. Or, I mean, among them.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll think about it then.

Also, a week from Monday I'm off to Thailand for a bit, so don't worry about not hearing from me for a stretch.

Aww, I will miss you! Have fun and possibly attempt to get pictures? If possible?

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

My latest camera broke for no reason, and honestly, buying new ones is killing my budget. Sorry.

Phineas & Ferb crossed with Waterloo Road? It's way too much of a coincidence, surely? This has to be someone near and dear to you!

[rionaleonhart]

Perhaps I have been writing in my sleep? I need to have a serious talk with my subconscious about not bringing child abuse into the happy and colourful world of Phineas and Ferb.

...I really want to read that FF8/Waterloo Road crossover. (FF8 fandom needs more stuff set in Garden!).

I wonder what Seifer's "lulzy nicknames" would be on the SeeD exam for Finn and Josh.

I kinda wonder how Finn'd get along with Squall, too. With Seifer, he's loud and arrogant but competent. Squall's standoffish and antisocial but also competent. (I don't think Squall would do well at Waterloo Road, people would think he thoguht he was bette than them, leading to lots of brawls.)

I can see Josh cowering at Fujin! Even if she just said "HELLO", hahaha.

[rionaleonhart]

Hmmm, I think Squall would probably just find Finn a bit irritating. He certainly wouldn't have the level of respect for Finn that he does for Seifer. And you're really making me want to see Squall at Waterloo Road, now. Kim would worry about him a lot.

I'm not sure Josh would cower so much as just nervously try not to catch her eye. He's no stranger to scary people (look at the company he keeps), but I don't think he'd know how to react to Fujin.

Why would you even LOOK in the P&F section of fanfiction.net? That is asking for tears, Riona! Tears and head trauma!

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

Phineaus' "tragic backstory" would probably revolve around the fact that summer is now over.

And who knows, Freb might know about Waterloo Road. I mean, not only is he originally from Britain and has family there, but it's not like he doesn't know about everything else. And he's not ten. Just...just saying.

I'm going to stop now.

[rionaleonhart]

I was actually looking at the Waterloo Road crossover section on this occasion, but I'll confess that I have looked at the Phineas and Ferb section in the past. An ill-advised move, perhaps, but, to my great surprise, I came across some Phineas and Ferb fanfiction that was really rather good.

Phineaus' "tragic backstory" would probably revolve around the fact that summer is now over.

Ahahaha, that would have been brilliant.

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

I...I really didn't want to click that link. I really didn't.

But.

Doofenshmirtz had an uncanny ability to predict the exact place where Perry was going to break in. It was his one real skill.

This is so true.

Josh has such ruffle-able hair. :3

Waterloo Road crossovers I've seen include:
- Mario (as in Nintendo. As in starring Rachel Mason as Princess Peach, Chris as Luigi and Eddie Lawson as Mario.)
- Big Brother
- I'm a Celebrity (I beta'd this one, it was actually rather fun, lol)
- Ashes 2 Ashes
- X Factor
- Zombie apocalypse (well, more of a genre crossover...)

but that Phineas & Ferb one definitely takes the cake, hahaha. May I have the link? Morbidly curious, over here...

[rionaleonhart]

His hair is amazing! I want to bury my face in it. He probably wouldn't appreciate that.

Well, if you're certain. I don't think you would be, but just in case: please don't be rude to the author.

...also, I have to ask: what on Earth happened in the Mario crossover?

[aeonamber.livejournal.com]

Alas, probably not. Maybe if it were Finn doing it, perhaps.

Thank you. I wouldn't dream of it, just wanted to have a look. (It's kind of... I can't think of the word, but trying to reconcile the animation style of P&F with the live-action of WR is wrecking my brain.)

If I recall correctly, it started with the teachers drinking in the pub in true Waterloo Road fashion. xD

I still have no idea about all this Waterloo Road stuff, but I have to say that 'For goodness sake put Ifrit away!' is one of the best phrases ever.
