This blog has been sent back in time to kill John Connor;

Does anyone know who the cover model for Tobias was in the animorphs books? Or how to find out? Buh? Because he looks a lot like the kid who plays him on the old (terrible yet amusing) TV show, Christopher Ralph, but I know he's not... And I want to know who he is. o: Halp.

 Comes out on Sept. 1 and I am so excited guys you have no idea.

Oh wow. I will probably spend my 18th birthday rolling around, waiting for this book to come out the very next day. <3

And also, some movie company somewhere whose name is not important purchased the rights to a Hunger Games film, which would be adapted from novel to screenplay by the author herself, so that is just so awesome I cannot put it into words.

So, pretty much, these things excite me.

The fact that it snowed today, however, on the first of April, does not.

Last night's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was probably one of the best episodes of any show I have ever seen.

Also! Dollhouse was interesting. I'm not entirely sold on it yet, but it looks promising.
 

   I really, really, really hate when people slash two obviously very straight best friends. It just bugs me. I don't mind slash, truly, because hey, to each their own, but I hate ridiculous, completely out-of-character slash. Not that if can't ever be done well; I've seen some of my least favorite pairings (slash or otherwise)  written really, really well! And hey, cool! But when people just take two characters who are clearly, clearly straight and who clearly feel nothing beyond friendly love for each other.... and just casually throw them together, without working up to it at all.... that bugs me.
   Current example: Robin/Superboy.
REGARDLESS of the fact that Robin is my favorite character i the whole damn DC Universe, his and Connors relationship is very interesting and sure, if you really want, you could slash the two of them. If you were to put enough effort into it, and really wanted to keep true to the characters, it could be done. And well! I may not be a fan, but it can be done!
   But CHRIST. You can't just throw the two of them together and be like, 'lol secs!' That is neither well written nor in character for either of them! And there's just so goddamn much of it! 
   I dunno. On a whole, slash doesn't usually bother me. I just don't like the idea that two best friends cannot be just best friends without something romantic blooming, regardless of gender. (this has nothing to do with personal experience, I swear. >.>)

   Also: I may be a total RobinxWonder Girl fan, but back while Connor was alive,  him and Cassie were totally the 'it' couple. SuperboyxWonder Girl was just how it was. And to totally throw that out, much less to trash Cassie just because she interferes with your pairing, is just low. Just because a character presents a problem to your ship, does not mean you have to trash them. God knows, I like some crazy ships, and I dislike some characters that might interfere with said ships, but that's usually because I straight up dislike the character, not because they don't work with my ship.

   The exception is, of course, when the two best friends are in fact slightly gay, and it's perfectly plausible for random sexings to occur. Have at it.

   Summary: Guh. I hate random, bad, OOC slash. :/
 

   For some reason, it's hit me lately as to how I tend to fall in love with completely dysfunctional/trainwreck/definitely-not-going-to-end-well type pairings. You know, the characters that either fight constantly, or have that sort of desperate, there's-no-way-this-is-going-to-work element to them. I just absolutely fall in love with those pairings. They make me happy, for some reason. Even if the couple is official (which is rare, yay fannon), they're still usually pretty screwed up. ZukoxKatara, RobinxWonder Girl (semi-cannon? At times? damnit Teen Titans! You're so angsty!), GambitxRogue (cannon!...but still effed), etc.

   On a strangely related note, I need to stop dating super-nice guys. They make me feel bad (due to my being a total ass). I need to find a  fellow ass. Who won't look at me sadly when I accidentally make fun of them. Who likes comic books. And philosophy. And Terminator. cartoons, and delving into the minds of psychopaths, and, and, and....

   Aaaaand I've pretty much accepted I'm going to be alone for the rest of life. But at least I'll have cats! :D
