Fluffy Bunnies
Well, squirrels.
CoE was beautifully crafted, but damn depressing. There's a blog comment here that kind of sums up the way I feel about it. And yes, good art can be angsty, dark and grim can be worthwhile, etc... but there comes a point when it starts to feel a bit Diabolus ex Machina. There's only so much Dark Darkity Grim Dark Grim you can take in one go. Especially when most of the Torchwood fandom seems to be a bit like this right now:
So anyway, that's why I'm staying away from the Whoniverse right now, and looking for a fandom that's got a bit more in the way of fluffy bunnies. Where by "fluffy bunnies" I mean "cancer-riddled deranged dual-katana-wielding mercenaries and the angsty time-travelling overcomplicated-family-treed mutants with Messiah complexes who love them".
Well spotted, flist. I'm on a Cable and Deadpool kick. I have a shiny fandom that never stops bringing the crack, and also a shiny new OTP.
Anyway, C&DP related scans and other linkage:
1. Best deathtrap ever involving a teddy bear.
2. One for the Innuendo Squad.
3. Slash? What slash? Nothing to see here.
4. The X-Men Relationship Diagram. Always good for a laugh. Wolverine looks like Euston Station...
5. Two different versions of the Summers family tree. For when you are tired of your brain and want to melt it.
