It Is A Freakishly Comfortable Bed And I Intend To Steal It.

[rionaleonhart]

I spent Sunday afternoon with th_esaurus, whom I have met so many times that I believe I may now be able to consider her a Real-Life Person. We watched Rodney McKay fangirling over whales and we spent a good hour mocking Torchwood and I became convinced that Harrow had somehow incorporated bits of Silent Hill, and when the time came for us to part I didn't want to leave; I just wanted to stay there, on her comfortable bed in her warm room, and listen to her playing Guitar Hero for ever.

But apparently I am supposed to be doing some sort of university course or something. Tsch.

The topics that came up in our conversation included the concept of Ianto/Myfanwy-the-pterodactyl fic. I just thought that perhaps you should know.

In other news, I picked up a copy of Ōkami recently, because hopingly had been saying some very positive things about it, and I appear to have racked up nine hours of gameplay in about two days, which probably isn't terribly healthy. One slightly alarming side-effect is that I have begun to see the world in general in the game's art style. The style is beautiful, yes, but it is slightly disconcerting when you're strolling along and your mind is convinced that you're walking through a brush-painting.

Finally: thank you so much for your letter, sideshow_meg! If anyone's looking for a fic-prompt, you could consider her rather brilliant suggestion:

Jeremy and Richard become penpals, but Zombie!Piers the postman intercepts their letters to destroy their love AND THE WORLD OVER.

I'll want to read it when you've finished.

We did not discuss Ianto/Myfanwy. My fic suggestions were perfectly innocent. You just corrupted them inside your brain.

[rionaleonhart]

YOU CANNOT DENY THAT THE TOPIC CAME UP. Er, I will confess that it was entirely my fault. I'm sorry. But only a little.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_princess_han_/]

Ianto/Myfanwy is almost as canon as Ianto/Jack. Almost.

[rionaleonhart]

Now, would it be hatesex because Myfanwy tried to eat his girlfriend?

I shouldn't be allowed to think about this, really.

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

STOP IT.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_princess_han_/]

I don't think he'd hold it against her too much. He didn't with Jack anyway. And obviously he loves Myfanwy more than Jack.

[draegonhawke.livejournal.com]

To be fair, she only tried to eat Lisa because Jack covered Lisa in barbecue sauce. And she didn't succeed.

Is it canon that Myfanwy is a she? Or is it fanon, or did I make it up at some point?

[rionaleonhart]

Well, 'Myfanwy' is a female name, so I've always sort of assumed she was female. Or possibly just gender-confused, which isn't unlikely in Torchwood.

[draegonhawke.livejournal.com]

The morally-confused tea boy / the gender-confused pteranodon. It's like a fairy tale, but with more sex and less of the happy ending.

[cryforthemoon.livejournal.com]

Worryingly enough, I can see Ianto/Myfanwy happening. OHGOD GET THE PLOTBUNNY AWAY FROM ME.

[rionaleonhart]

Well, it is Torchwood. There's no such thing as an implausible pairing in Torchwood. I will do no such thing, because I am evil and also worryingly curious.

[cryforthemoon.livejournal.com]

True, true... I wouldn't do it any justice, I fear - however, there will be memeage on my LJ, so feel free to ask and I'll do it horrible injustice there. *hides*

I love it when that happens!

[draegonhawke.livejournal.com]

[and when the time came for us to part I didn't want to leave; I just wanted to stay there, on her comfortable bed in her warm room, and listen to her playing Guitar Hero for ever.]

It is only because I read your journal that I immediately pictured that as a line in a slashfic.

[rionaleonhart]

rionaleonhart/th_esaurus OTP FOR EVER.

:O

[lo0o0ony-lauren.livejournal.com]

WHAT NO. But... but, rionaleonhart/dracothelizard = OTP FO' LYF! You scarlet woman.

Re: :O

[rionaleonhart]

A WOMAN CAN ONLY TAKE SECOND PLACE TO A LABRADOODLE FOR SO LONG, LAUREN.

Re: :O

[darthfi.livejournal.com]

You love it, you slag!

Actually, you have a threesome going with Draco and TGD, don't you? And then you act all innocent in public...

Re: :O

[jantalaimon.livejournal.com]

You know, I've kind of thought it was this way all along. XD

Re: :O

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

First of all, anything involving me and Top Gear Dog is PLATONIC ENTIRELY, and second of all, I would not share Top Gear Dog.

Re: :O

[rionaleonhart]

Oh, yes, that's some entirely platonic possessive jealousy you've got going there.

I notice you don't insist that our relationship is platonic.

Re: :O

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yes, that's some entirely platonic possessive jealousy you've got going there."

I think I'm just right in protecting poor TG from your Jeremy/TG shipping ways!

"I notice you don't insist that our relationship is platonic."

Well, linguistically and technically speaking, you did sleep with me.

Re: :O

[rionaleonhart]

Technically, I have slept with th_esaurus as well.

I AM A NONSEXUAL WHORE.

Re: :O

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

YOU FICKLY HUSSY.

Re: :O

[rionaleonhart]

Also, I can't believe there are mini 'ship wars about pairings involving me in the comments to this post. It is hilarious, but it is also odd.

Re: :O

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Considering that one of the pairings involves ME and I'm shipping the other one, I'm slightly baffled as well.

Also, does this mean there will be smushed pairing names?

th_leonhart? Rionasaurus? Dracotheleonhart? Rionathelizard?

Actually, I rather like Rionasaurus.

Re: :O

[rionaleonhart]

Ahahaha, how many rionaleonhart/th_esaurus 'shippers are there?

Also, I find 'Dracotheleonhart' absolutely hilarious, and I don't know why.

Re: :O

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

I shall start making supportive banners RIGHT NOW.

[anazri.livejournal.com]

Riona/RD is my new OTP. Just thought I'd say *g*

[culf.livejournal.com]

But, but... Th_esaurus/Neobubble! It's so fluffy and sweet! Shipping should stop when we start shipping ourselves Self-shipping is FTW!

[anazri.livejournal.com]

...this is truuuuue. Neobubble will be shocked and heartbroken, perhaps? But it is so much FUN.

[jantalaimon.livejournal.com]

Have you tried battling anyone with your brushstroke techniques yet? >3

[rionaleonhart]

Indeed I have! I love the Celestial Brush. I become far too excited when I get a new technique. My most recent acquisition was Waterspout.

[jantalaimon.livejournal.com]

I phrased that badly. I meant "in real life." XD

[rionaleonhart]

...

SO DID I.

[rionaleonhart]

(this is, of course, a complete lie. But now I am totally going to be thinking about drawing vines whenever I see brightly-coloured flowers. IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT.)

[dots.livejournal.com]

Okami is one of my favorites. I ought to replay it, it's been forever.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

"Zombie!Piers the postman intercepts their letters"

Does this mean that Zombie!Piers the Postman can stop epistolary novels from existing? I KNEW HE HAD A GOOD SIDE TO HIM!

You'll understand this dislike of epistolary novels once you come across Pamela, Or Virtue Rewarded

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

You make me feel so much better about my strange plot bunnies.

Unfortunately, you also tempt me to write RPF, which I shouldn't do. But I feel better about my strange plot bunnies now. Complete absence of zombie postmen! Or carsex!

[rionaleonhart]

Go on; write RPF. You know you want to.

(If you spend any amount of time in the Top Gear fandom, I have to warn you, you >will end up having fic ideas involving zombies or carsex or parallel universes. It's inevitable.)

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Zombies having sex with cars?

[rionaleonhart]

...there's something I haven't seen before! And, y'know, why not?

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Because it's zombies having sex with cars?
