"The sweetest of words have the bitterest taste"

I. It's the time of year of Season finales! The Chuck one was great, I thought. I am happy they got renewed, but I'm also happy it'll be the last season. It's getting slightly repetitive. But I still like it a lot and I still like Chuck/Sarah though I seem to be a minority. Chuck is one of those shows where I just see a lot of people having Opinions and Ships and Im sitting here in my corner of 'as long as they have wacky adventures I'm happy'. It's refreshing. See also: Community. I loved the Western episode, the Star Wars slightly less but that's probably because I'm not a Star Wars fan.

How I Met Your Mother is not a show I really love anymore, and I stop watching it regularly but there is always an afternoon I'm bored and catch up. And this season finale annoyed me by not giving us the mother again, but also managed to stir my buried Barney/Robin feelings. So I just know I'll be watching next season just to find out who the girl is. (I'm being vague because I don't want to spoiler cut for one sentence of himym because who even cares). But at least my thesis is finished and I'm confident it'll be good enough.

This week's Glee wasn't that great. It was emotional and all, but I don't watch Glee for the emotions, and while Jane Lynch is great, Sue is such a caricature that making her have a ~heart every season finale just falls completely flat to me. I am also utterly uninterested in Shue and everything he does and I spend most of the time he is on screen shouting at him to just GO AWAY. When I like the psycho ex more than the Nice Guy, there is a problem.
Speaking of Nice Guys, can everybody (which means mainly the writers) just please stop pretending Finn is a good person and the perfect boyfriend every girl should be lucky to have? PLEASE? He broke up with his girlfriend after a funeral, and then she wasn't upset enough for him? I am loving Quinn more and more even though her characterization is all over the place (lol glee) and I really wish she would have just slapped the douche in the face.

Meanwhile, Jesse and Rachel remain flawless and hilarious. I think I was supposed to feel sorry for Finn when he arrived with his flower? Sorry, no.

II.Exams are coming up and we get no time off to study for them. I'm not feeling very confident about it all, because I have 7 of them, and not a very good schedule (I am especially dreading English Grammar because it is the third time I'm doing the exam and I don't know it any better than last time :/)

III.Music! Some things I have been liking recently: I bought 21 by Adele and while I was listening to it on my way home on my bike, I had a great moment when Hiding My Heart came on. It was the first time I heard this song and it almost made me cry. Which is awkward when in public (there were just a few people fishing in the river around though so it was okay :P). The whole album is great, actually.
I have also (belatedly) fallen in love with Florence & The Machine, mainly because of The Hardest of Hearts, which is amazing and beautiful and I will probably listen to it a few dozen times in the next few days.


IV.Name a fandom, and I will tell you a) my three favorite romantic relationships, b) my three favorite non-romantic relationships, and c) one character combination (either shippy or non-shippy) I wish got more attention in canon.

i've always like Chuck/Sarah, and i'm SO glad they actually tied to knot instead of dragging out like other series sometimes do :) the finale was fantastic.

i agree with you on everything Glee, except Will/Terry XD i love Will so hard!

good luck on your exams bb!

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

Well I don't like Terry either, I just really really don't like Will :P But it's good someone does, otherwise he'd really be useless. ;)

Thank youu! :)

This so much. Tumblr was full of Jesse hate this morning and I was all, whatever, I ain't bovvered ;)

Oh, Adele. I need to get record and one from F+tM.

Meme! How about Glee?

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

Haha, okay. I don't actually think about ships on Glee that much (because getting emotionally involved in that show can only end badly) but here goes:
3 favourite romantic relationships: Jesse/Rachel (a mile ahead of everyone else), Kurt/Blaine, Brittany/Santana but only because I like what it is doing to Santana's characterization.

3 favourite non-romantic relationships: Rachel&Kurt(&Mercedes) , Kurt&Burt, Puck&Lauren (which is kind of romantic, but I also like them as just badass BFF).

one character combination (either shippy or non-shippy) I wish got more attention in canon: ONE? There are soooo many combinations I would like to see. Like Tina/anybody, Quinn/Mercedes (remember how they used to live together), Quinn/Puck (remember how they HAD A BABY), basically any combination not involving Finn or Will. Or Artie, I don't care about Artie either. XD

[mollivanders.livejournal.com]

any combination not involving Finn or Will.

if these two were permanently written off the show, I'd be tempted to start watching again :)

[space-dementia6.livejournal.com]

good luck with your exams. you will ace them, i know this!

and how about being human?

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) ♥

Being Human:

3 Favourite romantic relationships: George/Nina, Mitchell/Josie, Ivan/Daisy (so mostly I like Nina/George and don't like Mitchell/Annie ;))

3 favourite non-romantic relationships Annie/George/Mitchell and all permutations thereof, Nina/Mitchell because she was so awesome at calling out his bullshit, Mitchell/Herrick (mainly because Herrick is just generally awesome)

One character combination (either shippy or non-shippy) I wish got more attention in canon: Annie/Nina. But hopefully we'll get much more of them next season!

[imp3ratrix.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the exams! Stay positive and I'm sure you'll do great.

Mad Men for the meme, please. :)

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Mad Men:
3 Favourite romantic relationships: Joan/Roger, Pete/Trudy and Don/Betty (that last one is not in a omg-they-are-great-for-eachother way, but more because the are so much more entertaining together than they are apart)

3 Favourite non-romantic relationships: Don&Peggy (and the fact that it is non-romantic is really what I love about it so I hope they never go there), Don&Pete, Roger&Don

One character combination (either shippy or non-shippy) I wish got more attention in canon: Joan&Peggy! That scene in the final episode was perfection. They need to get together to complain about the idiots they work for/with every episode.

[swift-tales.livejournal.com]

I think I pretty much agree with everything you said about Glee, except that I really like Sue as a character and that I don't like Quinn ... although I would probably like her more if her characterization was a little bit more consistent, so there is the same concern there. :p

Also: name a fandom: Torchwood!

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't LOVE Quinn either because I don't get her character, but even with the inconsistencies she deserves so much better.

haha okay, Torchwood. I have to say I only saw the first two seasons once so I don't remember that much about them and I only really liked Children of Earth, so.

3 favourite romantic relationships: Gwen/Rhys (CoE style, not really before), Jack/Ianto (not like you like them but they were okay), and...uhm... Jack/John Hart (is that his name? JAMES MARSTERS, you know. Who, to be fair, has chemistry with inanimate objects so I could ship him with anyone).

3 Favourite non-romantic relationships: Jack&Martha , Gwen&Jack, Tosh&anyone because Tosh was my favourite

One character combination (either shippy or non-shippy) I wish got more attention in canon Tosh&Gwen, because I always want more girls-interacting in any show.

II. Awww, damn exams D: I'll be crossing my fingers for you!!

III. Oooh yes, Florence + the Machine is am-ah-zing! I remember falling for her music instantly (I attended her show even though I had never heard of her) but belatedly is better than never ;D *puts The Hardest of Hearts on repeat*

IV. I'll go for Merlin XD

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

For some reason I always thought I wouldn't like F+TM but I love pretty much every song on the album.

Merlin:
3 favourite romantic relationships: If we're going for things that are actually canon: Gwen/Lancelot, Gwen/Arthur (when they get it right), Merlin/Freya. Not-canon, the possibilities are endless :D

3 favourite non-romantic relationships: Merlin&Arthur (non-romantic loll, sure!), Merlin&Lancelot, Arthur&Uther

One character combination I wish got more attention in canon: I still haven't completely caught up with S3 but from what I've seen I'd say Morgana/Gwen

[iluvmusicals.livejournal.com]

Seconding ALL of your Glee thoughts, as usual. Couldn't they have killed Will instead of Sue's sister?

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

Well, then there wouldn't really be any emotional reaction from many people. Not sad-emotional anyway :P. XD

[iluvmusicals.livejournal.com]

xD Very true.
