ninamazing | "I cannot see that James Callis is straight."

Once upon a time,

roz_mcclure did a Shakespeare Balloon Poll.

And once upon another time, I was born a vicious copycat.

So here we are.

roz_mcclure: [note: all science in this is shit. because it is a balloon poll, and therefore about the most important questions of human survival, like, "who would you push out first, the loyal sidekick or the dashing antagonist?" SO THE WAY YOU PLAY IS: you vote for whoever you would throw out of the balloon, not who you want to stay in. Every few days, whoever has the most votes gets pitched over the edge and a new poll is put up with the remaining cast. JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE!]

I was totally thinking about who would win in a fight, Rapunzel or Snow White, and then I realized: THIS SHOULD BE A FAIRY TALES BALLOON POLL.

[Poll #1366231]

I am actually really excited to write hilarious, irreverent, wildly meta, smushy fairy tale fanfiction in smirking manner of Fables. PLZ, LET'S DO THIS! (And I promise not to make it all weird and lame with Snow White and the dude.)

P.S. Check it out,

leiascully, you're my title quote again. ;)

Heh, I feel like I should get my entire Fairy Tales Seminar to come and vote on this. ;D

OMG YOU SHOULD.

I am beginning to get scared that I will not know enough about the characters to be writing this accurately. DOESN'T ANYONE WANT BEAUTY FROM BEAUTY AND THE BEAST? I AM ALL OVER HER. :P

I WILL TELL... WELL, AT LEAST ONE PERSON I KNOW WHO'S ON LJ.

And you'll be fine, there's no standards on fairy tale knowledge - it's 80% childhood and intuition! (Which is why it's kinda ridiculous that I have a class on them right now. It seems all we do is either go around talking about our favourites, or read REALLY obscure 1920s Russian treatises about folktale morphology and symbolism. Oy with the poodles already.)

WOO. EXCEPT I DON'T WANT TO PUBLICIZE BECAUSE I AM INSULAR. MAYBE I WILL WAIT A FEW DAYS SO IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON FRIENDS PAGES?

Yay! That is good to hear. And OMG, that sounds not very productive but also fun. :P I have a book of obscure Russian fairy tales; wonder if that counts.

Oh, that's cool. This way I can just TELL my classmates about it, but be all, BUT YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY VOTE, HA HA!

...Sometimes I suspect I'm a lot meaner than I'd like to be. ;DDD

And totally counts. Vladimir Propp would be all over your fairytales. If you randomly find yourself in Halifax in the next month, I'll def take you to my class. &hearts

AHAHAHA. I love being included in things and gloating about it. So I guess we're both mean. ♥

I feel weird doing something this silly and fannish in an un-friends-protected way. Also there are people I want to avoid who are still watching my journal. BUT I MAY COME BACK AND PUBLICIZE THIS ANYWAY FOR FUN. Because I bet your classmates are cool.

Dude! ♥ How I wish I could randomly find myself in Halifax. You know, my family is still up in the air about if we are going anywhere this summer, and my dad has always wanted to visit there ... I should start lobbying. ;)

YAY, WE CAN BE MEAN TOGETHER. &hearts

And if you get to visit Halifax this summer, I will actually asplode. ;) Especially as it'll be my last few months living in the city (*sobs*) and I can be all "LOOK AT THIS, LOOK AT THIS!" ;DDD

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. WE SHOULD DO IT. ♥ ♥

Also the Fairy Tale Balloon Poll is now public! So ADVERTISE AWAY if you so choose. :P

YES. HER. I FORGET SHE'S A FAIRY TALE.

Also, I love that icon.

YAY! ♥ THANK YOU.

Hee, I love yours! This is my Happy Place icon, kind of. My Peace icon. All of which could be said about Trucco!arms and vest and watch/man-bracelet thingy.

Truth. His man jewelry is pretty peace-inducing. Also other things. This is my I-come-home-to-find-Sam-studying icon.

AWWWWW SAM-STUDYING. AWWWWW MAN-JEWELRY. Why is he the best.

GOD ONLY KNOWS. HE IS PERFECT.

I feel that we didn't get enough of a chance to discuss this in person.

I feel that also! We were going to cling to each other and rewatch all the hot half-dressed scenes over and over! (DUDE, OMG. IN "RAPTURE." HE GLISTENS. I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND.)

NEXT TIIIIIIIIIME. ARR.

Nnnnnnnnngh, glistening!Sam. I love it. I haven't watch that ep since I stopped hating him! I need to get to that! Because he is glorious.

I have to get dressed! I will be back soon!

Get to it! IT IS GLISTENY AND FANTASTIC.

OKAY. ♥

(I'm pretty sure I need a Team Tahcco icon. ;) )

THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT HIM THAT ISN'T GLISTENY AND FANTASTIC. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH WITH LOVE AND TEETH.

I also need one of those. Stat. I will find my Photoshop cd tonight, and then there will be icons! And buttons!

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥!

I think I have nothing to say but: YOUR NEWSLETTER. I AM SO ON IT.

I think if I don't have breakfast now there will be issues.

I LOVE YOU WITH LOVE.

MY NEWSLETTER IS 90% OMGSAMMY AND 10% OMGEVERYONE. ALTHOUGH SOME DAYS IT IS ONLY 60% SAMMY - THOSE ARE SPECIAL THEME ISSUES.

Eat! Eat! I had oatmeal.

I LOVE YOU ALSO WITH LOVE. AND MAYBE TEEF.

YOU SHOULD HAVE A SPECIAL THEME ISSUE WHERE IT IS 40% ABOUT HELO AND HOW HE IS SEX.

MMM OATMEAL.

MMM TEEF.

♥

UM, OBV. THERE IS A SPECIAL TEAM TAHCCO ISSUE EVERY SINGLE YEAR. OR MONTH. NOT SURE YET. I THINK IT'S A WEEKLY TO GIVE US ALL TIME TO RECOVER.

OATMEAL AND TEEF ARE SPECIALS OF THE HOUSE. ♥

YAY, PSYCHE FTW!

After this class, I'm pretty much over the nameless Damsels in Distress. Yes, Psyche may be a bit of an idiot, but at least she goes and sorts out her problems herself.

And thanks! Sinfest is a lot of fun. :D

And as soon as I wrote that I realized you meant Beauty. D'oh! But yes, she's awesome to. And comes from the same origins as Psyche, so, er, I'M NOT COMPLETELY CRAZY!

*slinks sheepishly away*

IT'S OKAY I AM ACTUALLY REALLY GLAD YOU COMMENTED ABOUT PSYCHE BECAUSE I HAD FORGOTTEN HER. And totally need to do some brushing up.

Hee, it has been too long since I saw Simon rub his eye and smile. TOO FRAKKING LONG.

Damsels in distress are boring. For instance, Sleeping Beauty. But I will just think of the retellings in which they have been made awesome. ZOMG have you ever read Theodora Goss's "A Rose in Twelve Petals"?

Psyche is also great! And so is Sinfest, although I have forgotten to read it for the last several years. Oops.
