17th-Mar-2008 12:21 am - Thoughts on X:WP's "Antony and Cleopatra"
I came across this on my computer and realized I never posted it to my actual journal, just to [info]xenites. I like it, so it's being reposted. If you already read it on [info]xenites... suffer!

A little while ago I watched Season Five’s “Antony and Cleopatra,” complete with commentary by Lucy, Renee, Michael Hurst (the director), and Rob Tapert. I loved how the girls giggled at all the racy parts, and how Michael squeed over his creation, but one part really frustrated me. Several times Lucy mentioned how she wished she’d played Xena as more “pragmatic” and not in love with Antony. I don’t know why she insisted on this, because I think Xena’s love for Antony is what makes the episode so great.

I’ll admit that I thought her falling for him was a little rushed, but hey, they’ve only got an hour. Even if it is a little contrived, Xena’s weakness for bad boys is what saves her. She walks a very thin moral line in this episode, and if anything redeems her, it’s her emotional vulnerability.

For me, the whole episode makes reference to “Destiny,” where Xena, a cocky young pirate with good intentions and shady methods, is screwed and screwed over by Caesar, everyone’s favorite sexually manipulative, megalomaniacal bad boy.

( Okay. My favorite sexually manipulative, megalomaniacal bad boy. Whatever. )
20th-Feb-2008 01:37 am - But What is Bindweed?
My poster of Icarus keeps falling down. It's irritating, but it also makes me laugh every time. The poster itself is pretty comic, since Icarus is all tragedy and woe and the nymph at the top has an expression of "Still good?"

This perfume site seems to me to have a sort of freaky subtext. But maybe I've been reading too much Xena/Argo porn.

I keep getting these really strange spam emails on my spikeface address. I made myself stop clicking on them because they hurt my brain, but the last one was entitled "cocks," and I'm very easily led astray. The email was from someone named "Kneisley Kienow," and reads like something James Joyce wrote on an off day:


Ahn nyeong,

Real men! Millionss of people accross the world have already tested THIS and ARE making their girlfriendds feel brand new sexual ssensations! YOU are the best in bed, aren't you ?

Girls! Deveelop your sexual reelationship and get even MORE pleasurre! Make your boyfriennd a gift!

Alternation between nothing and abundance as these as she faltered, here's the slate, dear mother: nora take more interest in her schooling. Lots this point especially not even particularly amusing. Was still waging a losing war with bindweed. Yes, three bills from his pocket, and, with the trembling water. Nobody knew what to do with the disaster said, surely that's very odd? Mr. Seddon said to go and identify the body. That was some time poor dick symmington hasn't the least idea of represents him as standing there in the attitude wants them will have to steal my coat to get them. Dune with his keen eyes, for he had hinted to kind. I remember it, though, said lance. I was of dust at every step. She fastened something.

Tell me if you need an lj-cut. This set is really simple, and text free. They still feel a little empty to me, but I liked playing with space and placement. And Dean.

16th-Jan-2008 01:10 am - Dumbass Fic Quote of the Day
After a homocidal lover curls up with his beloved:

"You seem to be at peace with yourself. You let me get in bed with you. Naked skin against naked skin. Like it was always meant to be. I can’t even feel the smell of gas."

I lolled so hard.

My first solid homemade book. I figure bookbinding is like murder: the first one is the sloppiest. The book's about 6 x 6 inches.

13th-Dec-2007 05:50 pm - Drop Dead Gorgeous Fanart
My squeeful love for Maya's fic Drop Dead Gorgeous and my unhealthy fascination with Jon Rhys Meyer's charms have been combined in another bit of fanart. Harry's not as angry and confused here as I picture him in the fic, but on the other hand, who cares when Meyers is so smokin'? I was all set to do another piece of fanart from the same fic for the ever patient [info]skig , but I got... sidetracked. First came the Jon Rhys Meyers piece (with glasses this time!), and then came the layout based on that piece, and then came the poster featuring Harry and Draco based on a picture from a completely different fandom. Anyone who guesses which one wins my eternal fannish love.

9th-Dec-2007 04:30 am - Harry Potter/Xena Icons
You can always tell when I've got work to do because my fandom life becomes very active. Here are a mess of icons that apply X:WP quotes to Hogwarts Houses. The majority of them are Slytherin, followed by Gryffindor. I believe that the reason for this is that the baddies of the show are almost invariably Slytherin and sassy.
