They Envy My Natural Elvis Hair.

Exciting Real-Life Adventures:

Riona: Tum ti tum, going to the supermarket.
Man in Supermarket: (looks like Young Tom Clarkson with Older Tom Clarkson's facial hair)
Riona: (walks into a bank of trolleys)

I then apologised to the man who looked like Tom, which, in retrospect, must have been slightly confusing from his point of view.


More of the second series of Waterloo Road! Which I'm actually finding quite difficult to watch, because Lorna's existence is so endlessly miserable. Please cheer up, Lorna, unluckiest woman in the world.

In fact, everyone has a miserable time of it in the early series (serieses!) of Waterloo Road. Whilst life for the characters in the later series certainly isn't easy, it isn't quite as relentlessly awful, thank goodness.

However, there are aspects of the second series that I enjoy very much. Primarily: yeah, so Brett/Davina is pretty hot. He's seventeen; she's around thirty. I was also strangely intrigued by the bullying website putting about the rumour that Tom (a teacher) was shagging Mika (his girlfriend's daughter, a pupil). Waterloo Road appears to be giving me a bit of a penchant for, if not May-December, at least May-August relationships.

apiphile, who is a terrible person, is not helping with all her talk of Josh/Tom, which a couple of nights ago had me with my head in my hands going 'NOOOO NOOOOOOOO tell me more'.

And then I accidentally wrote a ficsnippet and she sent me a (fabulous) continuation and I even more accidentally sent one back and, look, I'm just saying that, should fic involving Josh, Tom and the concept of genetic sexual attraction show up in the future, it is entirely apiphile's fault. That's all.

I rather feel I should apologise to the characters by writing lovely father-son bonding fic with no incest at all. Never before has writing something made me feel so guilty.

It's probably very wrong, if only because I don't even know really who the characters are but... Josh/Tom incest fic intrigues me.

[rionaleonhart]

Honestly, now that I know I can't save myself, I'm taking a 'the more people coming down with us, the better' attitude.

[darkest-alchemy.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not like I'm encouraging you to write more of it or anything. Honest. *whistles innocently* XD

I must have a thing about 'father doesn't know he has a son; teenage son turns up; they end up having sex' scenarios or something, that has turned up in my original fic at least once.

ATTAGIRL.

I'm expecting an AU of that other incest-friendly fandom, Supernatural, any day now, in which Tom and Josh battle the demons of Manchester, while Josh still has to do his homework and Tom still needs to teach.

[rionaleonhart]

I would definitely read that. I still think that Dean's place really belongs to Finn in a Supernatural AU, though, with Josh as Sam. Perhaps Tom could be John? (But hopefully without that incident at the beginning of the second season. Tom certainly isn't going to be making sacrifices for Finn.)

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Also, I imagine Tom is a better father than John, because from what I read, Tom actually tries talking about feelings.

[rionaleonhart]

He does! And he is unlikely to go OKAY, FINN, YOU AND JOSH STAY HERE WITH THIS SHOTGUN AND IF ANY EVIL COMES ALONG TO EAT MY SON YOU JUST SHOOT IT IN THE FACE.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, I don't think a teacher is gonna 'here, son, have a shotgun'.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

At least not in the UK.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

*hands* Oh everything is my fault.

[rionaleonhart]

So true! You ruin everything, and somehow I love you for it.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I am typing up more ruination straight into Gmail RIGHT NOW.

[rionaleonhart]

I am indecently excited about this.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

SENT.

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

I would just like to make it known that I saw those posts on the other entry and laughed quite a lot. Riona's utter distress (or rather, her expression of it) was incredibly amusing. I'M SORRY FOR FINDING THE HUMOR IN YOUR FLAILINGS, RIONA.

...

Not sorry enough, however, to wish them to discontinue.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I wish I could contextualise well enough to send her responses to the last snippet, they were fabulous.

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

Oh, please do try?

[yumiboo.livejournal.com]

yeah, so Brett/Davina is pretty hot
OMG, inorite?

Also, is it terrible that I am very intrigued by this ficsnippet? This is mostly because I never really saw it. However, I've only just started season 3 (thanks to the wonders of Alice's marvelous DVD collection), so I haven't watched all of Josh's backstory. Perhaps I'll get it more once I have...

[rionaleonhart]

He is so wholeheartedly into her! I love it.

yes it is, I feel so very terrible ;~~~;

IMAGINE HOW I FEEL; I'M WRITING IT. In our batting it back and forth, apiphile and I appear to have somehow brought this Josh/Tom thing up to two thousand words. I don't know whether it will be finished, and I don't know whether we'll be posting it when it is, but, er, you may or may not have the opportunity to read it in the future?

(I didn't actually see it at all until apiphile came along and exerted her evil influence on my mind. It's a skill of hers.)

[yumiboo.livejournal.com]

:3! I know it's technically illegal, but it's so sweet and he's so bloody cocky, and she's so reluctant to let it happen. I sort of 'squee' whenever I saw those two together and there were implications about their relationship. Or the lack of it, anyway.

you may or may not have the opportunity to read it in the future?
... good enough for me :D And don't worry, I have friends who end up suckering me into doing terrible things as well. Except they get me, for example, to go on an aerial assault course and watch me as I cling to a wobbly platform unable to move cause I keep falling when I try and go to stand on a little wooden swing thing made out of a freaking branch :< ... I'm not still bitter and/or extremely embarrassed about this, honest

I'm sort of in debate about writing a fic about a film I saw last night, Burial. If I did, it'd be so very terrible (subject wise, anyway) and if I didn't, then it'd plague my nightmares ;~~;

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

It is my *only* talent.

May-December

Riona, bb, you're speaking in tropes again.

In other news: I still haven't watched episode 7! My laptop died so I'm living on my mum's as and when she lets me on it. D:
