30 Days Couple Challenge - #7

Day 7: A pairing that disappointed you


Booth & Brennan, Bones

I was a big fan of these two, I really wanted them to become a couple. But then Hart Hanson, the exec of Bones, kept dragging their "courtship period" on and on and ON AND ON! It became ridiculous! First they were just friends, then Booth told Bones he loved her and she rejected him, then Booth found a girlfriend and Bones told him she loved him but this time he rejected her, then the girlfriend left and nobody made the first move and then BAM! They had a child together? For real? No, seriously, FOR REAL? *hands* Talk about a botched job.

Tom Hiddleston's kinda squishy and awesome!

CBM posted a vid in which Empire talks to Tom Hiddleston about Loki and Thor: link.

First: OMG! OMG! OMG! Tom has an amazing accent! I just want to squish him, he looks and sounds so sweet. Yes, I do have a thing for accents: his, James McAvoy's... *hands*

Second: I adore what both he and Chris Hemsworth say about Loki and Thor, that they are brothers, that they're defined by each other... Hearing them talk about their characters, you feel that Loki and Thor still love each other, despite everything, at least in the opinion of the men playing them. And that's what I really adore about these characters!

My favorite part? When Tom talks about what he and Chris Hemsworth would love to do:

"We're not sure when but we would love to be allowed to at some point - I mean, maybe not in Thor 2 but whenever - kind of have a moment where Loki is forgiven or he can find it in himself to accept that forgiveness because they're brothers, you know?"

Yes, please! PLEASE?!

Of SGA podfics

A few days ago, I wrote about the John Sheppard/Rodney McKay pairing in the 30 Days Couple Challenge I joined. And it made me realize just how much I missed these guys. I wanted to visit them again and enjoy their company and listen to them bicker and banter once more. And what better way there is than through podfics? So, I visited the audio archive and I'm now going from the longest podfics backwards!

I skipped "In the City of Seven Walls" by auburn, read by general_jinjur (17+ hours). It's a really well written fic and perfectly read by general_jinjur - but also way, WAY too depressing. Once was enough for me.

Right now, I'm listening to "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" by auburn, read by fayjay (18+ hours). What a lovely, amazing, fantastic, great, PERFECT fic/podfic! Vala, John (Jehan) and Rodney (Mer) as space pirates, damaged by the Goua'uld, yet stronger because of that. Jehan and Mer's relationship is simply fabulous in this, the perfect cornerstone for the whole fic! I'm only 3 hours in, so I still have 15 hours of goodness to go! *cheers*

So, I'm playing Bejeweled here and listening to an SGA podfic. The perfect way to relax...
