fanfic/casting @ 12:24 PM
This story I'm writing right now was not supposed to turn out being based on reality. Yes, I've wanted to write about abuse for awhile now, I just needed to somehow figure out a way to incorporate it into whatever fandom and have it be plausible. Hence, setting Leverage two years into the future and making up my own shit about what happened between those two years.
But it was just supposed to be about spousal abuse, and I'm the queen of victims of mental and emotional abuse. Yeah I've been hit before, but I still don't consider myself getting physically abused, even though I probably have been based on definition. But whatever, it was just supposed to be a story. Not supposed to be how it is when one of my friends and one of my girlfriends get beat at home and then feel some twisted need to take it out on me to have power.
That story turned into me putting Parker in my position, but having her deal with the way I wish I could have.
I really need to work on City of Thieves again, sad thing is I know exactly where I’m going with it but yet still don’t have the effort to get there, if that makes any sense. I guess I have to put it down for a little while, otherwise I get bored very quickly. Doing the same story for a long time is like ‘good god, when will it end?!’
Need to do my Nate/Sophie for the ficathon.
But more importantly need a job. I applied at a couple places yesterday (finally). Gonna go back out to day, but not in this DAMN shoes.
These shoes are fucking fabulous, but KILL to walk in. I blame it on the fact that I woke up and watched ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ and then felt the need to get pretty and fabulous just to go out and use the internet at the café. Yeah, loser.
So, Twitter had a mini mental breakdown yesterday due to the fact that this new girl is going to be joining the Leverage cast for the second season (the winter half), because we all assumed that due to the rumors of Gina Bellman possibly being pregnant, and the TNT PR had Sophie 'away' for episode 2.08, we thought she was replacing Sophie. Which, isn't going to happen, thank god. Gina can never ever leave Leverage!
Anyway, the new characters name is going to be Tara? I think? And she’s played by Jeri Ryan, who if I’m to be honest is far too… blonde. I don’t know, I think if they wanted to add another person to the cast (woman wise - which I mean obviously it was coming with three men and two women, there was bound to be an add on at some point) it shouldn’t be another light eyed blonde. Variety.
I don’t know, personally Jeri Ryan looks like she could be a porn star if she really needed to be, and I’m hardwired to not like that type usually. Unless they’re not blonde, or usually even white half the time. I have such a thing against blondes (sexual attraction wise, anyway). Which is amusing seeing as I’m a blonde right now, and both of my favorite actresses are blonde: Hudson Leick and Beth Riesgraf. Explain that one to me, cause I don’t get it. But it’s how my brain works. I really do not find them attractive in most cases, which if you think about it might be why Hudson and Beth are both my favorite actresses: for once I’m not thinking about how bad I want to fuck them and actually look at their TALENT. Only reason I can think of, anyway. I mean they are both beautiful women, don't get me wrong on that, but due to the blondeness I tend to not think of them sexually.
I mean, look at this woman:
Is that absolutely necessary? I’m being entirely judgmental based solely on how she looks, I realize this. I also realize that due to the absolute geeky!nature of her being on Star Trek: Voyager is highly probable one of the reasons she was hired because hi, Leverage is made op of geeks. Which is totally ftw, don’t get me wrong, but I just look at this woman and see… a cardboard cutout. I'm probably a really bad lesbian for complaining about that. My head really makes no sense.
Now, I’m sure I’ll be shoving my own foot in my mouth later on down the line about this. She might actually end up playing a character I end up ADORING and will want to slash ship with everyone and their moms. Lol. But for know, this is my initial assessment of the casting decision.
Keep in mind I have never EVER seen her act in ANYTHING. So, I'm being shallow and basing it on looks at the moment. We'll see if that changes.
Which, seriously, on another note: Hudson totally needs to be on Leverage. She’s finally back to doing auditions again, she said on Facebook yesterday (I think?) that she was going to one to play a drug addict. FTW. Hudson will give that justice, I know that for sure.
But yeah, Hudson + Leverage would = awesomeness. But that’s just me saying lol.
MAN. That made me want to watch ‘Fastlane’. I think that show died really quickly, but I saw the episode where she cut off a guys thumb and put it in a shake and drank it LOL. I think that got cut from her actually putting the bloody thing in her mouth or something even more disgusting lol. She just plays bad very VERY well… shivers and chills alike. Swear. She really needs to get back out there, break time’s over! Lol.
Speaking of Hudson - she FINALLY scheduled her next (and long overdue) retreat... for when I visit my parents. Way to go. Oh well, next time I guess.
Alright, I got to go do something productive today. Well, in forty five minutes, cause that’s when my computer dies and I have to go home. I miss the free internet I had – damn people for catching on! Haha.
