I particularly like the *literal* emo tears of blood.

- So I saw the latest episode of True Blood. OH MY GOD, I SHIPPED GODRIC/ERIC SO FUCKING HARD. :(((((((((((( THEIR EPIC, CENTURIES-LONG LOVE. :(((((((((((

Ahem.

- As ~research (lol) for my fic, I rewatched the Effy episodes from series two and three and omg, the urge to hug a fictional character has never been so strong. It's weird; it took me a long time to warm up to Effy (I didn't much like anyone from the first cast) and now all I want to do is give her a massive hug and feed her chocolate and somehow make it all okay. IDK, she just makes me SO SAD. brb, rewriting my 80s AU (where her circumstances are, if possible, even worse; I'M SO SORRY, EFFY) to include a million gratuitous hugging scenes.

- Speaking of! I'm about 10,000 words into the 80s AU and I... kind of still feel like I'm setting things up? It's hard to tell how long it's going to be in the end, because it keeps running away from me and getting longer and longer. Still really excited about writing it, though, even if probably won't be finished for MONTHS.

- Earlier today I started thinking about Yuletide. WTF, SELF, IT'S AUGUST. But, yeah, I'm already planning out what I'll request and offer to write. I think last year Skins was a listed fandom, but I'm sure this year it'll be considered too big (which makes me all kinds of happy, really, because I heart this fandom and all the creative types in it so fucking much, and I don't think I say that enough).

I know right?? I've loved Effy from the beginning, but she's only managed to grow into a sadder girl, and I just FEEL SO MUCH for her, that I can't EVEN.

You made Effy's circumstances worse?

(Is it bad that I'm now getting the urge to protect her from you? Sorry.)

Can't wait for the 80s AU. Are you going to post in parts or wait till it's all done?

A couple of things: True Blood is so EPIC this season. I love love love how all the plot lines (Jason and the newlins, Maryanne and Tara and the Vamps heading back from Dallas) are finally meeting up for the last three episodes. Some of the subplots were beginning to drag, but now that everything is about to collide, clusterfuck style, I AM SO EXCITED.

I love Godric. The actor is so talented, he managed to bring such a sad gravitas to the character even though he's such a tiny little guy. Yeah. Poor Eric. This show makes me feel so much.

One of the joys of writing fics is the excuse it gives you to rewatch episodes. I think Effy's season two episode would make my top five episodes EVER for this show. She's so marvelous and decisive and doesn't put up with whiny passive aggressive losers (god, why did she suddenly start to put up with them the minute she saw Freddie's pretty emo face?) And Madame De Luca was genius. Hilarious, pompous, but clever enough to really respect Effy. And say hello to...PANDORA lol. "They're girl and boy kissing!" hee.

STILL VERY EXCITED ABOUT YOUR 80s AU
