moogingAuuuugh, oh god, my internet connection lately has been the actual worst. JUST. STAY. CONNECTED. jfc. Apparently sometimes a full bar of signal actually means NO SIGNAL, obviously. What even.
ANYWAY, this is to say a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has commented on the bakery au - you have been so amazingly wonderful, and some of the things you have said have legitimately left me speechless. I just - thank you all so, so much, and I want to take the time to reply properly to everyone but my internet is really dubiously reliable at the moment and keeps swallowing LJ comments and generally messing me about, but I am definitely going to reply properly! I didn't want anyone to think I was ignoring them, or - idk, just, I genuinely am blown away by some of the things people have said, so thank you, and as and when my stupid internet connection allows, I want to say that again, and better. FOR NOW, HEARTS EVERYWHERE, I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING SPRINKLED WITH RAINBOWS, YOU ARE ALL THE BESTS. ♥
On a similar note, hello to the people who have recently friended me! I completely missed the TSN friending meme but I would still love to get to know you all! Drop me a comment to say hi? I am abysmal at making the first move to friend someone, mostly because I am convinced everyone is much more quality than I am (YESTERDAY I FELL OVER INSIDE A POPCORN MACHINE; I AM CLEARLY NOT THE MOST EPT HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET) but friends are awesome, so. :D
oh god, it has taken me, like, half an hour to write this post. CANNOT INTERACT WITH THE INTERNET, SEND HELP.

Date: 2011-05-09 10:22 pm (UTC)Do you work in a cinema? That's probably a stupid question because where else has popcorn machines that you can FALL INSIDE OF.
So this one time I was changing my duvet cover and I somehow got all twisted up and tangled in and fell over and bruised my coccyx (man that is a weird word). And then everyone was like, Lal, how did you injure yourself and I had to explain to them that I had failed at duvet. *fail-five*
:D internet, why are you doing this, that's terrible! At least I know I have not driven you away with my minor character obsession.
no subject
Date: 2011-05-13 12:02 pm (UTC)ANYWAY. Yes, I do work in a cinema! It is a pretty a+ job for a gap year, I have to say. We are obligated to stay in the screens to make sure everything is running okay and that no-one is, idk, shouting all the way through a film, which means a) I get to see a lot of films and get paid for it but also b) I cannot see The King's Speech one more time or I might actually kill someone. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THAT FILM WAS IN CINEMAS? IT WAS A LONG, LONG TIME. I AM JUST SAYING.
And I am incredibly glad that I am not the only person capable of stupid injuries! I mean, sjhgdfjh ouch, the duvet/coccyx thing sounds really horrible, but I AM NOT ALOOOOONE. There was this one time I fell down in front of a bus. That was probably the pinnacle of my injury stupidity. I HAD A REALLY RIDICULOUS LIMP FOR A MONTH. Like, it looked like I was faking my limp, that was how pronounced that thing was.
anywayyyy. <333 I AM GOING TO SEE IF MY INTERNET WILL HOLD UP TO A HAVEMERCY COMMENT NOW, APOLOGIES FOR IMPENDING CAPS MANIA.

Date: 2011-05-14 09:45 pm (UTC)YOU ARE NOT ALONE is very much the point of this story! I also once hit myself in the face while we were playing a balloon game in the kitchen and trying to fend off a balloon led to me hitting myself in the nose. Yeah. It was about that time that the boy who would become my boyfriend stopped offering to teach me to drive... In front of a bus? WOW.
Ugh, I feel you with the internet thing, when we moved house we didn't have any internet for a month and I had to go to the drive thru MacDonalds down the road and use their shitty WiFi. I used to write out ridiculously long comments in Word and then paste them in later. It was a Dark Time.

XD Just let me tell you you're amazing, especially for making people drool all over their keyboards and for pushing them to eat sweet things because of the fluff.
I hope you'll have less trouble with your connection soon. Until then, take care ! :D

ANYWAY. Hi! <3

He could have brushed past Mark with a rough hip-check, but that wasn't the point. The point was that he was already tired and keyed up and getting increasingly pissed off when Mark met his eyes, insinuated himself further into Eduardo's path, and lifted his shoulders into that shrug, slow and contemptuous and still, apparently, able to send Eduardo from zero to rage blackout in ten seconds flat.
- Now You Lived Somewhere Away From Here (http://archiveofourown.org/works/129528?view_adult=true) by Sharksdontsleep at AO3: five years later, Mark and Eduardo reconnect.
"Hi, Wardo, I miss the inside of your wrists," sounds like a pretty insane message. He thinks about firing up his old LJ account if he can still remember the password, posting something that he knows only Eduardo might see, discards the idea. He wonders if this is what Nixon felt like, on the plane to China.
- perfect situation (http://oflights.livejournal.com/88076.html) by
Mark happens to think that’s a little ridiculous—okay, he’s not asexual, and he gets as much love from his own hand as the next 19-year-old, keyboard-induced carpal tunnel and all, but really, he won’t expire without sex, something he’s managed to basically prove since puberty. He tends to think of sex as something that happens to people who have the time and energy and patience to muddle through all the bullshit and finally insert part A into slot B; he is not one of those people.
- Only In Threes (http://archiveofourown.org/works/168596?view_adult=true) by Poose at AO3: this is basically straight up porn but it is AMAZING. Andrew/Jesse/Emma Stone. Run, don't walk, and prepare to sell your soul to Poose. WHILE YOU ARE THERE, read One Foot on the Ground (http://archiveofourown.org/works/165176/chapters/240330), which was written for the kink meme prompt of Mark being a huge slut. It is painfully canon-compliant, and it is this epic Mark character study, and everything feels real and intense, and just, set some time aside, and read this. I think it's one of the ones people give in fandom primers. If it isn't, it should be. GO GO GO.
- if this was the cold war (we could keep each other warm) (http://oflights.livejournal.com/86217.html) also by
Eduardo freezes, blinks, and Mark is still sitting there, tapping away at keys, the sound so achingly familiar he has to close his eyes and shiver a bit. When he opens them again, Mark is still sitting there, completely unaware of Eduardo in the doorway, and that’s so familiar that he just has to say something.
- when they open up your heart (http://ellot.livejournal.com/36294.html) by
there is no countdown shown on the implant in his wrist. it remains blank. the company's consultants tell them that the blank countdown just means that eduardo's match just hasn't received their own timer yet. but by the time he's thirteen and the timer is still blank, eduardo's father insists on taking him back to the doctors to have a new one put in.
no subject
Date: 2011-05-13 01:45 pm (UTC)When they are eleven Eduardo has four artworks selected for the Gallery in one round. Mark doesn't have any on this particular occasion, though both of them often have inclusions. Eduardo hasn't had one for almost a year, though, so he's happy.
- Best Practices in Workplace Relationships (http://archiveofourown.org/works/161294) by BlackEyedGirl at AO3: AU; Eduardo is Mark's assistant when Facebook is already booming. THIS IS SO AMAZING. There is also an Eduardo POV sequel here (http://archiveofourown.org/works/196975).
Eduardo smiles back – shy – and God, Mark is fucking doomed. He shakes it off and disappears back into his office, rereading all Cheryl’s emails about workplace harassment and reminding himself of the reasons he’s absolutely not allowed to flirt with his assistant. The only saving grace is that Mark is so bad at these things that Eduardo might not have noticed yet.
(You should also read How to Make a Second Chance (http://archiveofourown.org/works/196997), where Harvard!Mark and post-deposition-era!Mark swap places, just for a day. In fact, just go read all the things by BlackEyedGirl. You won't regret it.)
- world enough and time (http://heygirlfriends.livejournal.com/11855.html) by
Mark can gauge when he’s traveled to based on whether or not Eduardo throws something at his head. Well, really, Mark wouldn’t blame someone for throwing stuff when a naked guy appears out of nowhere in front of them, no matter the situation, really, but sometimes he’s even procured clothes by the time he runs into Eduardo — he always, always runs into Eduardo, no matter where or when he travels to — and Eduardo still throws things. (Okay, sometimes he purposefully seeks out Eduardo, like now, when he’d let himself into Eduardo’s house through the side door, via the key Eduardo keeps hidden in the flower pot, but who can really blame Mark for being curious.)
- Pilea Involucrata (http://heygirlfriends.livejournal.com/12077.html) also by
Well. Eduardo had said he needed to get Mark’s attention. Mark just hadn’t really thought that “get your attention” would mean “turn into a plant,” but Eduardo did tend to be really unnecessarily dramatic sometimes.
- Speaking In Tongues (http://archiveofourown.org/works/129756?view_adult=true) by marycontraire at AO3: Mark goes to Brazil one summer with Eduardo, and then he tries not to think about it. THE ENDINGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
It's weird being surrounded by a foreign language. It's even weirder that Eduardo speaks it. It kind of reminds Mark of that time last year when they went to this stupid Gangsta Night party at AEPi and this Asian girl was hitting on Mark all night, but he had no idea until Eduardo dragged him off into a corner and told him to make a move. Except, more so. Eduardo doesn't just speak the language here—he belongs.

Date: 2011-05-13 01:49 pm (UTC)I cannot start linking to all my favourite kink meme fills as well because this is already HORRENDOUSLY long, but HERE (http://bea-recs.dreamwidth.org/) is the most incredibly useful thing this fandom has seen, which is MASSIVE REC LISTS of Mark/Eduardo fics and Andrew/Jesse fics and WIP kink meme fics AND completed kink meme fics, and I am in awe of this person's organizational skills. Those masterlists have been SO USEFUL. A few of my favourite kink meme fills so far for you to look out for are the Zombieland crossover, the Jurassic Park AU, Kiss By the Book (http://tsn-kinkmeme.livejournal.com/3654.html?thread=3681094) (a fandom classic), the Zombieland crossover, the Jurassic Park au, the Shameless au, the Shelter au, oh god, just, I HAVE SO MANY FAVOURITES BUT THAT IS ANOTHER COMMENT FOR ANOTHER TIME.
also when canon gets you down, go read the ~70k epic that is Never Marry For Money (You Can Borrow it Cheaper) (http://alexthegreat.livejournal.com/222888.html) by
Okay, I have been writing this stupid comment for like an hour and a half now and this was only going to be a quick thing. NBD NBD CLEARLY I AM A SANE AND RATIONAL HUMAN BEING. ENJOY THE FIC BB AND IF YOU WANT MORE RECS, HIT ME UP. I CAN PROVIDE MORE AT ANY TIME. You can also try my socialnetwork tag on delicious (http://www.delicious.com/moogle62)!
BASICLES WHAT AM I SAYING IS THAT THIS FILM HAS RUINED MY LIFE, THIS FANDOM IS TOO TALENTED, AND I AM FOREVER AFLAIL AT THE EXCELLENCE EVERYONE ELSE IS CAPABLE OF WHILE I SIT HERE WRITING NONSENSE.
AND I EDITED THESE COMMENTS SO MANY TIMES FOR STUPID HTML FAIL, I AM SO SORRY FOR THE SPAMMMM. DD:
WHAT EVEN IS THIS COMMENT, I AM SORRYYYYY, MY BREVITY'S AT THE CLEANERS ALONG WITH MY HOODIE AND MY FIC-RESTRAINT FLIP FLOPS.
