love makes you do the wacky

Three things!

1. I got my ass kicked by my supervisor today, in all the best of ways. It was two hours of completely tearing apart a section in my thesis, and in the process of doing so, she showed me what was wrong with the analysis and how to take a position as a researcher. Which she thinks I should do, because my thesis is "worthwhile" and "fits in the field" and "eventually publishable." I LOVE HER YOU GUYS. Remember the woman from last year? NIGHT AND DAY.

2. I'm rewatching Buffy. Who here loves that show? Is it not the best? I'm in the middle of season 2, and I just, ugh. Giles! Willow! Joyce! Cordelia--I LOVE HER AND HER BITCHY SELF SO! OZ! The vamps--here is where I liked Spike the most, when he was with his crazy lady, and I do like Angel here too. Even Xander has his moments--he's a spot-on teenage boy a lot, so sometimes I want to throttle him, but sometimes he is wonderful. Buffy herself, oh man, I love that girl so fucking much. She's a teenager and she's brave and she hurts and she puts herself back together again and--I just love her, I really really do. *fails at coherency* Come talk to me! Favorite quotes! Moments! Whatever. ♥

3. I signed up for h/c bingo, I'm sure you're all astonished. Because, right, try and think of a single story I've posted that has none, okay? Can you? Comment ficlets don't count. Yeah, I know.

Anyway! I would love ideas! I might rework them into something that is a shade of a remnant of a sliver of the original idea, but still. *beams encouragingly* I will write: The Like, Bob, Brian, Mikeyway, assorted members of FOB and Ashlee Simpson, PATD, TYV, BTVS (especially right now), Veronica Mars, the Bats...



Is it not great? Now tell me what to write!

pneumonia	assault	exhaustion	cuddling for warmth / snowed in	muscle strains and spasms
brain damage	hunger / starvation	chronic illness	undercover: discovered and hurt	drug addiction
telepathy (sudden onset)	loss of hearing	WILD CARD	slaves (sexual)	sensory deprivation
broken bones	pandemics and epidemics	heat stroke	body hatred	torture
spinal injury	character is shown the error of his or her ways	wings (always there)	de-age (physical)	forced marriage

I've loved it for a VERY LONG TIME, so I've seen it lots. (Seriously, I remember curling up in front of the tv for the very first night it premiered, fell instantly in love, and had a standing date with my tv for tuesday night for the next several years. I'M OLD.) So I go through cycles of loving this character or that, and NEEDING to rewatch everything, and basically I have no idea how I never ended up in Buffy fandom. (Faaaith. She tries so hard to be tough and hard, but the cracks are always showing, even if Buffy has a hard time seeing them.) And early!Buffy had the advantage of having QUEEN-BITCH CORDELIA. I love her.

It is like, my favorite trope. I love forced intimacy (by which I mean being put in startlingly domestic situations and CUDDLING and whatnot with someone unexpected/seemingly inappropriate and WATCHING THEM FALL IN LOVE.) And there is a startling lack of that in bandom fic. :\
