The house hippo

[mooging]

It came to my attention with my last, fear-filled, post that some of you are unaware of the incredible wonderment that is a house hippo. So watch this:

That is a house hippo. Don't all of you want one? I want one. Also, that is the American version of the advert thingyum. The UK one is slightly different, but still. A house hippo. I will believe everything I see on tv, thanks, because I WANT A HOUSE HIPPO.

Actually, I have one. Clearly. He lives in my wardrobe and is called Henry-Sebastian-Aloysius. What's your house hippo called?

Baftas tonight! *hyperventilates with glee* Also, the Top Gear-goes-to-America special, which I am told should be rather good.

To keep me occupied today, I have decided to pinch a thing fromrionaleonhart, who is generally awesome and made brilliant use of this on many an occasion:

Give me a character (or multiple characters, or a pairing, or a theory, or a ridiculous AU, or anything you like, really) from a fandom (er, preferably one that I'm familiar with. If you don't know whether I know a fandom or not, feel free to ask. Crossovers are absolutely fine), and a theme to go with it (by 'a theme' I mean anything that will give me some idea of where I'm going - be as vague or as specific as you want to be), and I'll write you a one-sentence fic. You may make as many requests as you like. 

I hope you are all pleased that I survived the night in the room of horrible noises.

I KNOW. It would be quite funny though, right? For example:

"I don't have any hands!" wailed hat-stand!Jeremy, "I can't drive!"

Over in the corner, James was laughing. Very, very hard.

Ominous noises fizzed from outside and Richard soon entered, clutching a chainsaw. "We'll soon see who's small, you freakish hat holding goliath!" he said, and approached hat-stand!Jeremy.

Jeremy howled and swore.

"Shush," said Richard, "you're upsetting James. Also, you shouldn't be able to talk. You're a hat-stand." He paused, and quite suddenly turned the chainsaw off. "I've just had a thought."

James managed to look interested while simultaneously dying of laughter.

"We could see how far he would fly," said Richard, looking inordinately pleased with himself and a touch psychotic, "we could shoot him from a cannon and aim him at a caravan!"

"I'll splinter!" gurgled hat-stand!Jeremy, and James began to look interested.

See what you have done to me! Look at that abomination! *drops head into hands*

OH MY GOD, YOU ARE A LUNATIC AND I LOVE YOU. (I love that the thing that most distresses him is 'OH MY GOD I CAN'T DRIVE.' Also, "We'll soon see who's small, you freakish hat-holding goliath!" may well be the greatest thing that anyone has ever said ever.

looking inordinately pleased with himself and a touch psychotic

Genius.)

I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT. I cannot quite believe I wrote that.

It was very very fun though. Less than two hours to go until Top Gear hits America! (Although hopefully, in human form and not as hat-stands, incapacitated-by-laughing or chainsaw-wielding life forms.)

Ahahahahaha! What did I do before I had you on my flist? Brilliant.

Heh, I'm glad you liked it! Also glad to be a welcome addition to a flist, and not just a crack!fic wielding freak ;-)

*cuddles you, just because*

Well I do have a special fondness for crack!fic wielding freaks but you're a lot more than that. *hugs you back*
