You know, the Ruppert Murdoch scandal?

It kind of reminds me of the British TV series State of Play - the deeper they dig, the more filth they uncover *shudders*

And just because: a James McAvoy State of Play pic spam!

( 20 pictures cut! )

Isn't he just cute?! *pinches his cheeks* ;P

Fic rec: X-Men: First Class

"Phantom Limbs" by bagheera_san | Charles/Erik | AU | Charles makes himself forget. Erik is there to remind him. | ~8.500 words

“There are things we would rather forget. I’m sure you of all people can – “

Erik cuts him off by rising to his feet so sharply the chair nearly topples. “Don’t talk to me about wanting to forget, Charles,” he snaps. “The point is that you don’t. You never forget.”

“I can,” Charles says softly. “If I choose to.”

Hurt!Charles. Dark!Charles. Oh, yes, please! \o/

Book #51

"Das Demian-Syndrom Vol. 5" by Mamiya Oki

4 stars out of 5

I'm always amazed by how much Mamiya Oki can stuff into one volume, her mangas always feel somehow longer than anybody else's, don't know why. In this volume, I liked the low-key, background romance between Tasuku and Shiba - or maybe it's just unrequited feelings on Tasuku's part? - better than the main relationship between Jo and Azuma. Maybe because Jo and Azuma have Issues with a capital I whereas Tasuku and Shiba feel much more... mature, I would say, as silly as it might sound what with them being high-schoolers too. Anyway, the funniest thing about this manga are the chibis, mostly with dog ears and bushy tails to that. Ha!
