I have finished the first series of Phineas and Ferb! And you should all watch it as well, because, guys, this cartoon is really good. The bizarrely amicable struggles of Perry and Dr Doofenshmirtz in particular are a constant delight. I love 'we may be enemies, but that doesn't mean we dislike each other' dynamics.

I also love that Phineas and Ferb never takes itself too seriously. Even in the 'Candace realises she loves her siblings really' song, what could have been entirely sincere is tempered by the hilariously literal lyrics:

You will always be my
Little brothers
'Cause you're younger
We're related
And you're boys

Other favourite lyrics: 'It only took a magic portal to Mars to give me some self-worth' and 'Just the two of us, in an oesophagus' (I love how ridiculously specific Phineas and Ferb songs can be. That song can only apply to the situation of 'going through someone's digestive system in a miniature submarine'. This one applies to the situation of 'dancing wildly because there are squirrels in your jeans'). Plus there's Busted, which is just incredibly catchy.

I stayed the night at

th_esaurus's house recently! We discussed the concept of the King of All Cosmos as a private detective (worst idea ever, someone please write it) and of Wallace of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World going out with Nega Scott, rather to Scott's perturbation (better idea, someone write this as well). Also, whilst poking around fanfiction.net, we stumbled across what is possibly my favourite fanfiction line ever written (the 'I' in question is female):

"Oh god Joe!" I moaned out as he released inside of me. "you are not gay!"

Plus I spent a few hours yesterday with the lovely

faeries_bite and

mychickadee.

faeries_bite wasn't feeling very well, sadly, but she was still able to help form the idea that is going to make my fortune: Parcelville, a theme park based on the Royal Mail. None of the rides end up where you're expecting them to go, and you can't buy a ticket at the gate; you have to go a couple of miles away. The most expensive tickets will allow you to go on the rides within a day or so, if you're lucky. I expect to see you all there at the grand opening.

Seriously, do give Phineas and Ferb a try. The only complaint I have is that Candace's screaming can begin to grate after a while, but it's got great characters and great songs and it's genuinely clever and funny. Even its formulaic nature works in its favour, because after it's established a pattern of expectation it begins to subvert and play with it in all sorts of interesting ways. It's great fun to watch, and I very much recommend it.

Charlie Brooker wished the man who uploads his programmes onto YouTube a happy birthday via Twitter! I find this ridiculously endearing. Also endearing: David Mitchell. 'Slightly upset that @Cheesoid, a robot in a sketch I wrote, isn't even following me. Hate self! Hate self!'

I was initially confused about the purpose of Twitter, but I have now realised that its primary function lies in allowing celebrities to be completely adorable. I'm all for that. And I have absolutely no idea why the Cheesoid sketch amuses me as much as it does.

Speaking of Brooker and Mitchell, as if I haven't been speaking about them constantly for the past month: my fic-in-progress in which Gym Leader Brooker teaches Mitchell to be a Pokémon trainer is at four thousand words and counting.

On the one hand, it feels so good to be writing again. On the other: this is ridiculous. It is an absurd crossover AU for a barely-existent fandom! I still have fifteen thousand words to write for university! But I am having so much fun.

Here are some confusing scribblings I have found in my not-very-academic academic diary recently:

- right-wing children's book: Hitler Has Two Mommies (I think this was probably based on a mishearing.)
- There is a guy at my university who looks like Gang Leader Joe Jonas. (Or perhaps just a gang member? In any case, he's in a gang.)
- Lovesick Student Breaks Into Morgue With Axe (I saw this on a newspaper billboard and noted it down with the intention of finding out the story behind it later. I'm still wondering.)
- The crossroads demon in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (the Supernatural episode) is oddly reminiscent of Derren Brown. Note that Sam, of course, would have snogged this demon had he succeeded in making a deal. (Intriguing.)
- you can see the kittens he's eaten swimming in his eyes. (deranged thought about Owen Harper had in the process of w[unclear]king. WAKING, not WANKING.)
- Man-Spider: rather rubbish spider superhero. A SPIDER WITH THE POWERS OF A MAN.

Also, I just came across the line 'Does Jane ogle Rigsby at the end there?' and, as my handwriting is terrible, misread it as 'Does Jane ogle Ruby at the end there?'

Patrick Jane/Ruby of Supernatural? He would infuriate her. She would scare him, although he'd disguise it fairly effectively. I'd read it. (Perhaps Jane is one of the psychic children and deeply in denial about it! Ruby will help you develop your powers, Jane.)

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.

wildeabandon was kind enough to show me the Neverwhere miniseries yesterday! Mr Croup, murderer of my heart, was not exactly as I'd imagined him (not that I'd been delusional enough to envision him as attractive; he just didn't quite match my mental image), but it was a great deal of fun, and I now want to write about every character I've ever loved stumbling into London Below.

Also, Paterson Joseph as the Marquis de Carabas was excellent and amazing and I am going to take a moment to weep about his not being cast as the Doctor. HE COULD HAVE BEEN SO WONDERFUL.

(I am now even more certain that the Marquis needs to meet Derren Brown. They remind me quite strongly of each other.

Derren is going to hate him.)

I just wondered what a Neverwhere/Silent Hill crossover would be like, and then I realised that it would be quite difficult to make work. Neverwhere works as a potential crossover fandom because it has a location - London Below - into which one can merrily insert characters from other fandoms. Silent Hill's crossover potential is also location-based. It's not terribly easy to cross over two fandoms where the main crossover potential is in their locations; you can't send London Below to Silent Hill.

It would be fairly easy to turn London Below into Silent Hill, though, so, should I ever wish to send the actual characters of Neverwhere to Silent Hill, I shouldn't have too much trouble. Croup and Vandemar would never work, of course; Silent Hill would probably want to hire them. The Marquis could be extremely interesting, though, particularly if he has less collected company, and I'd quite like to see how Hunter would fare. The Marquis and Hunter are rather confident characters, of course, but Silent Hill does like to strip away confidence, and I think it could manage to unsettle de Carabas, even if he'd never show it outwardly.

On the topic of Silent Hill crossovers:

th_esaurus and I went to watch Le Cirque Invisible a few days ago (entertaining but extremely odd, and I'm not sure I'd be able to describe what we saw), and before it began we somehow ended up discussing the Jonas brothers in Silent Hill. There were some ideas that could make quite a good fic (written by someone more familiar with the brothers than I am, obviously): Nick is apparently afraid of failure, for example, so the town would constantly put him into situations in which he would fail.

We did not focus on the good ideas.

'NICK IS CHASED BY GIANT SUGAR CUBES. THEY REPRESENT HIS DIABETIC ANGST.'
'THE MONSTERS DESTROY JOE'S CLOTHES AND HE CAN FIND NOTHING TO WEAR BUT LEOTARDS.'

Should

th_esaurus and/or I ever write a 'Jonases in Silent Hill' fic, I would advise that you avoid reading it.

Last night, I stayed with

th_esaurus, which was thoroughly delightful. We played silly Pokémon games and rewatched the first Pokémon film (in which the moral is, apparently, 'Pokémon shouldn't fight'. Hmm), and we concluded that L would have a Porygon. (Light has a Banette, as illustrated, but it is visible only to those who have touched the Death Note. Alternatively: a Gengar.)

She also showed me quite a few things relating to, ahem, the Jonas brothers. I concluded that Nick should be a woman and Kevin should have a Death Note. YOU WILL REGRET NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO HIM, WORLD. Of course, as

th_esaurus pointed out, everyone would suspect Joe, so in the end Kevin's plan to make himself noticed through murder wouldn't really work.

Before we went to sleep last night, we had the following mildly horrifying conversation:

RD: Do you actually 'ship Light/Light in a serious way?
Riona: If I could think of a plausible way for Light to meet himself, I would leap upon it immediately. I don't just want some cracky 'oh, there are two Lights now' thing; I want it to make sense. I am ridiculously serious about this stupid pairing. I think it's the most believable one in Death Note.
(pause)
Riona: I'd prefer it if there were two of him, but I would happily read fanfiction in which Light just masturbates whilst thinking about how great he is.
RD: ...I'm a bit shocked to hear you say that.
Riona: I was a bit shocked to realise I was thinking it.

Death Note has obviously done some very bad things to me. Seriously, though, I cannot 'ship Light with anyone but himself. I cannot think of any other character for whom I can believe in only one pairing.

I suppose that makes Light/Light my first OTP, then.

Oh, dear.

(

kadrin actually wrote Light/Kira commentfic for me, because he is amazing.)

In the 'It Just Bugs Me' TVTropes page for Death Note (beware of clicking; TVTropes is an endlessly fascinating Internet black hole and you may be trapped there for hours), which consists mostly of musings on the minutiae of using a Death Note:

Suppose "Steve Jones. Heart attack. Eats a cookie and finishes the milkshake he put in the freezer last night before collapsing on the floor," was written in a Death Note. Before Steve can do any of this, Daniel Plainview drinks his milkshake. Does Steve still eat the cookie before dying?

I laughed until I wept, and I don't know why. I think it's just the fact that people have actually thought about these things.

Tomorrow, I am off to Birmingham for the 'Asylum' Supernatural convention! I have never been to anything remotely conventionish before, so this is to be a new and perhaps slightly frightening experience.

th_esaurus has suggested that I turn up in a Jeffrey Dean Morgan mask. This, I am sorry to say, is probably unlikely.

From the article in which Derren Brown very quietly came out in September 2007:

You should always come out; life is so much easier. People generally aren't as bothered by your intimate secrets as you are. It took me being in a relationship with a guy for a month before I told anyone I was thus inclined.

I probably shouldn't, but I really, really want mildly angsty fanfiction about Derren coming to terms with his sexuality. I like to think that he didn't actually realise he was gay until he was well into his thirties, and that he became quite angry with himself for taking so bloody long to work it out. I like to think that he couldn't quite suppress his Christian guilt, despite having shaken off his Christian beliefs years ago. I like to think that Derren still thought of himself as straight for about two weeks into his first gay relationship.

I like to think that I am not a bad person despite wanting people to write stories about a real person's sexuality angst, but I have a suspicion that this may be too much to hope for.

In other news: erm. All right. I have been trying to put this off with entries about Avatar and Doctor Who and Derren Brown, but I suppose it had to happen eventually.

You see, I visited

th_esaurus a couple of weeks ago, and she showed me some things, and, er.

Er. Well.

I find myself sort of charmed by the Jonas brothers.

I'm so sorry, guys.

(SHE SHOWED ME KEVIN'S RIDICULOUS SOS DANCE. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO RESIST THAT DANCE?

Also, Nick Jonas looks like he could be the Doctor. And Kevin has a tendency to rub himself against Joe whilst they perform in a rather unbrotherly manner. (I tried and failed to find an example of this on YouTube, so I'm afraid you'll have to take my word for it, unless anyone can help in the comments.)

If Nick is the Doctor, Kevin is the Master, driven to evil by his unrequited love for Joe, Nick's companion.

...I can no longer even pretend to think that I am not a bad person.)

It's - it's wrong to sort of want to write a Supernatural/Camp Rock crossover purely so I can title it 'Bad Day at Camp Rock', isn't it?

Because it would be an absolute atrocity and therefore I cannot actually write it, here is how it would hypothetically go:

- Shane Gray, cynical singer and kind of a git, is instructing at Camp Rock, summer music camp or whatever it's supposed to be.
- When hiding from fangirls, he hears someone singing. It reminds him of what he used to love about music. Awww.
- No, not because it's good. Because it's appallingly bad, but the singer is obviously having an enormous amount of fun anyway.
- He must find the mysterious inspirational singer! Surely it must be true love!
- He hopes that the mysterious singer will show up at Final Jam, but, alas, she does not. Which he can't say he didn't see coming, because she's, you know, terrible. Alas regardless!
- When he is wandering angstily through the nearby woods that night, he suddenly hears the decidedly non-angelic voice again! He rushes through the trees, and—
- Oh, okay, it's a dude. That kind of didn't occur to Shane. I mean, it was kind of a manly voice, now that he thinks about it, but when he heard the inspirational singing he knew it was love at first, er, hearing, and he'd kind of expected his true love to be a girl.
- Also, the dude seems to be digging up a body and preparing to set it on fire.
- Still, whatever. It's kind of a shock, but maybe Shane can work through the 'not a girl' thing. At least his mystery singer looks just about feminine enough for him to get past it.
- SHANE AND DEAN: TRUE LOVE FOR EVER.

(ALTERNATIVE TWIST ENDING:
- Also, the dude seems to be digging up a body and preparing to set it on fire.
- What the hell, the body kind of looks like Shane.
- Oh shi—

- The Winchesters return to the car, another haunting solved.
- Also, Dean probably has sex with Tess.)

Now, had I just watched Camp Rock I might observe that Mitchie clearly has a great big crush on Tess. But of course I have never watched Camp Rock. In fact, I've never even heard of Camp Rock. What is this Camp Rock of which you speak?

(Also, the Camp Rock section at fanfiction.net has some of the silliest pairing names I've ever seen. Smitchie! Mess! ER BY WHICH I MEAN I'M NOT - I - I'M NOT LOOKING FOR CAMP ROCK FANFICTION, OKAY. YOU CAN'T PROVE ANYTHING.)

Who wants to watch the rushed and corny and implausible and yet still sort of adorable love story of Camp Rock in five minutes? (I - I'm not talking about Mitchie/Tess. This is the love story Disney actually intended.) I know you do.

This guy hears a girl singing and becomes obsessed with finding her.
OH LOOK THERE SHE IS.

There are a couple of things between these scenes, but those are the important bits. Are you filled with fluffy Disneyish love? I am. A little bit. OH, COME ON, IT MAY BE RIDICULOUS BUT IT'S STILL HEARTWARMING.

And now, on an entirely different note, highlight the below for a 'shag, shoot or marry' conversation I just had with my brothers about Prison Break. Spoilers up to the second-season episode 'Chicago'.

Joseph: Shag, shoot or marry: Abruzzi, Tweener or Haywire?
Riona: Er. Well, I'd marry Tweener.
Joseph: Awww, little Tweener?
Fred: Won't you be upset when Tweener dies?
Riona: ...They're all going to die. Um...
Joseph: If you shoot Haywire, he'll never get to Holland.
(unexpected assless freak!)
Riona: Heh, I know. Shag Haywire, shoot Abruzzi.
Fred: Haywire's dead.
Joseph: Well, we're not doing this now. Otherwise there'd be a lot of shooting, shagging and marrying corpses.
Riona: ...well, in that case I suppose I'd still shag Haywire, as he's been dead for the shortest amount of time.
Joseph: (laughs) Actually, the answers would all be the same, wouldn't they? Shag Haywire; Tweener's probably the lightest, so he'd be easier to drag around...
