Nov. 14th, 2006 01:49 amSo. Jordan said this line on Studio 60. I was all "Yay Jordan/Harriet!" It wasn't so much the line, but that she delivered it wrong right. Jordan said something like "Would you go on the cover of Newsweek and say that you're gay?" Even though the fact that she was kidding came through, (I don't remember exactly how she delivered it, but I think it wasn't even my crazy warped femslasher mind that caught this, she really did hit the wrong part of the line IMO) it sounded more like "I know you're gay because the sex last night was amazing, but will you go on the cover of Newsweek and say so?" Made me laugh. And Jordan called her Harri. Which also made me smile.
And something that made me smile and then in rapid succession grimace and feel ashamed? Janeway/Seven. Because I am a darksider. Have been for years. That was one of my first major pairings (probably the first with enough of an established fandom to keep me entertained) of the type that you're loyal to for years. And in the B'Elanna/Seven fic, there were generally 3 ways of dealing with Janeway and acknowledging the pretty blatant subtext between Janeway and Seven. One - ignore Janeway all together. Use her just as much as needed to get your girls in a turbolift or shuttle crash and then just leave her up on the bridge doing captainy type stuff where we never hear from her again. (See most B/7 fic for examples.) Two - jealous/lover Janeway. This being the one that is in love with Seven, but whom B'Elanna manages to steal the girl out from under, the main example in my head right now being "She Who Hesitates is Lost". Three - mother Janeway. Acting as a mother figure to Seven. (See "Queen of Hearts" by DiNovia.)
This last one is the one I tended to subscribe to most, which I think is mostly why I'm having so much trouble accepting the fact that I'm turning into a reluctant J/7er. But to be honest, I've read most of the really good, notable B/7 stuff that I can find. (Though if anybody knows of any more amazing B/7 fics that I might have overlooked, send them here.) And so J/7 is an entire new world and from what I've read, this world is populated with some really good writers. And the B/7 circles that I'm aware of have really slowed down. So yeah. Probably going to be reading quite a bit of the J/7 stuff in time to come.
And not only fics, but vids! Whole pages with one person making like 30! There are very few B/7 vids that I've ever found.
(There was a scene in one that I just watched where Tuvok melded both Janeway and Seven and the same time? How did they explain that any other way than marriage bond through a mediator?)
Made up a test today for Spanish. Man, I love Dr. Beatty. He's pretty awesome. He left a sticky note for me on the door when I came by right after school saying that he'd be right back (which was good, as I got time to study when you put the accent on 'ese'). Most teachers just wouldn't be there. He left a note. And then he went through and marked how many points each type of question was worth on the test while circling things in the directions that I should take note of (like "make sure you use two adjectives in this one" and "only do 4 out of these 5" and such) which was nice because it was all in Spanish and he wanted to make sure that I didn't lose points because I didn't know a major word or something in the directions. And he was very helpful, asking a couple of times to make sure that I didn't have any questions and such. He always seems like one of those kinds of teachers that won't at all think you're stupid for asking a question. And I love his "Perfecto, está bien, excellente" thing that he says all the time, even if he follows it with (in Spanish, obviously) "but what if you switched this around this way?" Always so positive. He's the one teacher that I have this year that I actively like.
So. Got a bio test and a math quiz tomorrow. Should really be studying, as I know nothing about the stuff on either of them because the teachers are useless. Should really be in bed if not studying.
