Well, Could Have Been Worse
Apr. 2nd, 2007 11:50 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
crossover_chickThere was about twelve tons of stuff to put away (the presser stayed late for some reason), but I did manage to get two pages done in "From the Ashes Reborn." I also got my usual page done in "Boy Genius," along with a few preliminary edits in "V.D." Chapter 6.
-HD: "Marty In Wonderland" Chapter 6 too, I hope.-
Yes, yes, of course. :) I have to get started on my fanart again too, considering I wrote the companion piece to "Drinking Buddies," aka Prompt 48 of the drabbles88. I'm still tweaking it a bit, but "Mad Scientists and Englishmen in the California Sun," aka Prompt 84 of the drabbles88, should be up by the end of the week.
-DW: Interesting.-
-OD: *tentacles nodnod* Yes, do some fanart. I'm dying over here.-
I know, I know. I keep meaning to scan in that little sketch I did of American McGee's Alice-Me and HatterDoc last year. . . .
-OD: *tentacles immediately start poke-poking* It's a start.-
*fends them off with her Seasons Prima Guide* I also have a DOUBLE update of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eurekasims! In an effort to speed up the Legacy a bit, Emma and Emmett both got an update today.
-RPD: Nice! Though what happens to the villagers?-
I might play them on Thursday or Friday. They're pretty easy to play, honestly. I'll probably limit them to birth, birthday, and death announcements for the time being. Allison keeps her update schedule, though, because I like her.
-TD: How's my Sim counterpart?-
Oh, he's good -- his tomato plants are well in the healthy range, he's got a full study bar, and he just bought the toy bench. I also had him "invent" the thinking cap, so that's all set. He was learning skills like there was no tomorrow.
-TD: *beam* Wonderful! He'll be ready to take over the world in no time.-
-RPD: I should say, I've never seen anyone earn skills that fast! *slightly suspicious* Did you cheat, Victoria?-
*blush* Yeah, a little. The Lot Debugger comes with a "Make Me. . . Smart" option, so I used it. It's designed to return stuck smartmilk to sims reset by expansion packs, but I figured Emmett could have it anyway.
-TD: Works for me -- aren't I supposed to be a genius?-
You are, you are. *huggles*
Anyway! Here's a meme, then I'm off to do stuff, like set up the Mad Scientist Legacy and Victor's bio for updating the webpage tomorrow.
-TTV: I was wondering when you would get around to that.-
You're allowed to poke me, you know.
-D: I think he's a little shy to be a muse.-
See?
Fromanonymoose_au:
Name six ships you like:
1. Doc Brown/Clara Clayton (BTTF)
2. Marty McFly/Jennifer Parker (BTTF)
3. Gilgamesh Wulfenbach/Agatha Heterodyne (Girl Genius)
4. Victor Van Dort/Victoria Everglot (Corpse Bride)
5. Dave Davenport/Helen Narbon (Narbonic)
6. Mad Hatter/Alice Liddell (Alice In Wonderland)
Three ships you used to like, but don't anymore:
7. Tarvek Sturmvarous/Agatha Heterodyne (Girl Genius)
8. Charlie Brown/Peppermint Patty (Peanuts)
9. Sirius Black/Remus Lupin (Harry Potter)
Three ships in your various fandoms that you can't stand:
10. George McFly/Marty McFly (BTTF)
11. Cheshire Cat/Alice Liddell (Alice In Wonderland)
12. Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
Two ships you are curious about but haven't actually started shipping:
13. Victor Van Dort/Emily the Corpse Bride (Corpse Bride)
14. The Queen of Hearts/The King of Hearts (Alice In Wonderland)
1.) Why do you dislike #11 so much?
Bestiality, anyone? Alice may like the Cheshire Cat, but I doubt she likes him THAT way.
2.) Who is someone you know that ships #13?
Oh, there's a whole group of them on FanFiction.net. KnuxZimRyoko15 wrote my favorite story about it, though -- it's a reincarnation piece. Sadly, it appears to be permanently unfinished.
3.) What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
A nice big lab in Kestle Heterodyne, complete with lots of time windows and deathrays and fencing clanks. And a more private room for private experiments. . . . ;) They're going to have to straighten out the situation with Klaus first, though. I see much ranting in the future.
4.) Which is your favorite episode for #1?
It's a movie couple, not a TV couple. And the pairing only appears in Part III, so it has to be Part III by default.
5.) How long have you been following couple #6?
For about four, five months now. I started shipping them last year sometime, after getting a bit of a crush on the various incarnations of Hatter myself. Incidentally, I'd like to thank the devART Alice/Hatter community for clearly saying Alice HAS to be legal (i.e., 18).
6.) What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring?
Eh, I like Marcie better with Charlie once they get to the actual dating stage. I don't have anything against Peppermint, I just think Marcie makes a better fit.
7.) Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4?
Marty/Jennifer, since BTTF is my first love. I don't like too many stories that end up breaking them up. (Good Lord, do I actually have an OTP?) Victor/Victoria's a little more changeable.
8.) You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
10! 10 10 10! I'd frankly like to get rid of all incest fic, but I'd settle for getting rid of George/Marty.
9.) What interests you about #14?
It's the one canon couple we see in the first book. I'd like to see them in a more private setting, see who really wears the pants. (Honestly, I stuck them in there to fill out the meme.)
10.) When did you stop liking #7?
WHEN TARVEK REVEALED HIMSELF TO BE A FUCKING JUDAS, THE TRAITOR!!
(Yes, at one point, I DID actually like Tarvek. Then he started powerscheming, and I decided that any fling Agatha might have with him (Gil/Agatha all the way for the end) would be really bad. And then he altered her message, the creep. . . .)
11.) Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show?
Nope, I'm looking forward to the last Harry Potter book as much as ever. Really, I went off that ship because of some idiot people's wank over Tonks. Can't Remus be bi?
12.) What's a song that reminds you of #5?
"Lips of an Angel," Hinder. I don't know why, but the lyrics of the song make me think of key moments in Dave and Helen's relationship, notably his agonizing over Lovelace or Helen.
13.) Which of these ships do you love the most?
I'm gonna have to go with Marty/Jennifer, since I don't like fics that break them up permanently. Doc/Clara is a close second, but doesn't get in the top spot because of my Doc/OC ships.
14.) Which do you dislike the most?
What do you think? George/Marty!
15.) If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be? (even better if they're from different shows).
Oh-ho-HO, how can I resist sending Dave, Helen, Gilgamesh, and Agatha out together? Four very mad, very much in love scientists? The town would be fricking leveled by the end of the date! :D (And we'd finally have a proper Narbonic/Girl Genius crossover too. Come on, Foglios, shout out Shaenon in the comic.)
16.) Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like.
Yups. They got their real kiss of the trilogy near the end of Part III, but they had a nice little peck near the beginning of Part I.
17.) Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
It looks like it. Victor does love Victoria very much. And they can help each other weather their parents. ;)
18.) What would make you start shipping #13?
More fics that don't demonize Victoria. And let's keep that relationship sexless, thank you very much -- after all, Emily's got one completely decayed leg. Do you really think her private areas are in much better condition? (<.< >.> I'd kind of like to see a good Emily/Victor/Victoria, honestly.)
19.) If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6?
Once again, going with Marty/Jennifer. Alice/Hatter is purely a fanfic ship anyway, considering that in the books and movies, Alice is never old enough to get together with anyone.
20.) You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
George gets 20 years, Marty gets a good shrink. Eugh.
Okay, that took longer than expected. I don't generally fall out of ships, that's why. . . Okay, off to fiddle. And perhaps catch some more late-night big-screen BTTF later. :D
-VD: Fine with us!-
-VD2: See, I said she wouldn't just watch "The Mask. . . ."-
-HD: "Marty In Wonderland" Chapter 6 too, I hope.-
Yes, yes, of course. :) I have to get started on my fanart again too, considering I wrote the companion piece to "Drinking Buddies," aka Prompt 48 of the drabbles88.
