In our house made of paper

So this is my attempt to be more active this year with my LJ and post more. Because I kind of fail at that. So yay a bunch of random things!

+ I owe a bunch of people comments and I'm totally working on it, I promise, but I'm slow, prone to migraines, and have limited computer time lately. (Which makes me sad.) I'm also way behind on my F-list. If anyone posted anything awesome, let me know. ;D

+ I've been trying to write, but mostly I have a lot of unfinished things on my hard drive for a few different fandoms. But I have a mostly finished (I think) Chloe-centric fic that I might post soon, which will make me happy and be my first story posted of the year. But if anyone has any tricks about getting over writers block, please tell me them. I'll love you forever.

+ I usually don't rec things (though I should do that more), but I found this amazing AMAZING Chloe character study video set to "Human" by Christina Perri and everyone should go watch it and leave some love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcMB2FYyOoY

Its so beautifully done and the song fits Chloe perfectly and it has this wonderful segment on her and her relationship with her mother, something that's often ignored  but shouldn't be. And its just amazing. And if anyone ever wondered why I love this character so much, I feel like this video would explain it.

+ Apparently the HP fandom exploded recently. I was totally confused about what was going on for like a day, just knew that JKR had apparently made some comments. I do now know what the drama was all about. (I don't really have any big feelings about it all. Canon is canon, she's not going to rewrite the books. And I've shipped both over the years. So you know.) Despite the drama of it, it was kind of a nice reminder that the HP fandom is still going strong after so many years. HP was the first fandom I actively participated in (SV is the one I consider my first fandom, staying up late and reading fanfic I was probably too young for), the first one I posted a story in, where I got my first flame (and learned what a flame was), and learned what a beta was and got my first one. So really it introduced me to a lot of things. So its nice to see its still going so strong.

Also, I saw someone refer to this as JKRGate and it made me giggle. A lot.

+ I finally caught up with the last few episodes of Haven. A lot of awesome stuff and one sad thing. And now I'm wishing the new season would be here already and they haven't even started filming it yet. They got to get on that.

+ ( this is where I ramble about arrow a little bit. but mostly about thea. and walter. )

+ ( tvd talk, so more spoilers up to date )

+Also my sister bought me a SPN t-shirt and I'm wearing it and now panicking about what to buy her for her birthday that's coming up. She's way better at gift giving than I am.

So I finally got the last season of SV I didn't own for my birthday (S7 just in case you were wondering), and I decided to do a re-watch of the whole series from start to finish. Which is over 200 episodes, so I'm thinking it will take a while. But in an effort to do more with my LJ (because I should) and to encourage myself to keep going (I often get distracted when rewatching things), I thought I would post my thoughts on the episodes as I go.

Some of it will be legitament thinky-thoughts, others will just be random thoughts and observations, and sometimes it might just be me saying "this episode needs more Chloe". I'm curious though about how different my opinions will be having seen the whole series and knowing how it ends and my views on some characters changing. I've grown to like Lana a lot more since the show originally aired, as I've matured and learned to understand her character better, so I'm curious about how I'll like her different storylines now. And who knows, maybe I'll start to like Chimmy. LOL, kidding. I don't think that will ever happen.

Please feel free to comment on the episodes or my thoughts on the episodes. I always love talking about my shows. (Fair warning for spoilers beyond the episodes talked about though.)

My thoughts on the first four episodes under the cut
