Another Irish Drinking Song

Oh, god what is wrong with me D|

I started out deciding to kind of spiritually rewrite Insomniac, and I am ending up writing this ungodly huge INCREDIBLY M-RATED Anko/Itachi/Shisui monster that is possibly the darkest, smuttiest thing that I have ever written.


what is happening to meeeeeeeeeeeee

You know, it's weird.  For the past two chapters, in which absolutely ridiculous things have occurred, I went into them all jaded and expecting to be disgusted because of just reading the spoilers and knowing what was going to happen this week.

But...somehow, they worked out for me.  Like, I was unexpectedly able to suspend my disbelief long enough to enjoy them.  And I feel like I shouldn't, because most of my srs-face Naruto fan buddies are foaming with rage/declaring loudly that they don't care anymore, and I feel like I ought to feel that way, too.  But I don't.  I'm okay with the cheese.

Oh, and one more thing:

8D

THE LONG THIRTY-CHAPTER NIGHT IS OVER.

Okay, so I don't really watch iCarly on a regular basis.  But I do tend to enjoy it when I see it.

They premiered a new one-hour special just now, entitled "iDate a Bad Boy."  And I enjoyed it...until the primary conflict surfaced, namely that Carly's newfound "bad boy" (who wasn't even all that bad) collected "Pee-Wee Plushies" (or something equivalent to Beanie Babies).

And that was a BAD THING.

None of his characterization changed, just he was suddenly undesirable because he did something that was UnManly.  He was still as hot (the main thing that made him desirable in the first place), still as artistic, his dialogue was still as amusing...but Carly could no longer stand him because he collected cute things.  She even bought him a power drill, and reacted with disgust when he said he'd use it to make display shelves for his collection of cute things.  This was played for laughs.  And when he confronted her after overhearing her make fun of him behind his back, and asked her to give him a straight answer about breaking up, she zoned out imagining his cuddle buddies (or whatever they were) talking around his head.  He had to say, "You know what, this isn't working," and walk out, because it was obvious she wasn't respecting him.  He looked upset.  And it was presented as the desirable end to the conflict.  She didn't even care.

I, I don't know why I care so much, but that made me so very upset.  Carly's usually a good, sympathetic character.  I don't even know why they would present such an awful message like this.

Just perpetuate the double standard, Nickelodeon.  Go right ahead.

(P.S. SPENCER WAS ALSO AMAZINGLY AWESOME.  I only wish some of his best scenes ever weren't wasted on this upsetting special.)

...feilyn also asked of me:

Three times a promise
Two sexy redheads
And a crazy Ouran/Fight Club medley

For more explanation, since the link doesn't explain:  The request was an Itachi/Anko with a happy ending.  Since that pairing is, by default, really messed up (and not canonical at all but feh, who cares), it's really hard sometimes. 

I'm kind of cheating, since I wrote that for a drabble meme for redbrunja, but since the other one I was writing for the request got really stalled and is currently stagnating on my hard drive, I figured it'd be easier to just post this one instead.  Eh.

I went and got a Facebook.  Mostly for colleging and stuff.

So, if you want me to add you, ping me.  (Bella, I think it took my Yahoo!Mail and added you, so that crazy girl with no avatar as of yet who added you?  That's me.  Oh god, you know my name. (:P))
