girlofpreyFirst post of 2006. Omg.
I have been mostly not doing my Gothic essay. Am now three days over my 'deadline', and heading past the end of my wordcount, as usual. I'm even at the interesting bit, where I talk about homosexuality and how they're all actually gay, and still the words do not flow. Especially not when I need a critic's name suddenly and have to OMG, get up and go find it. But it's still coming along quite nicely, and possibly I'm just cutting and pasting critics' opinion in delightful patterns, but I'm still quite pleased with it. I think I have proved beyond all shadow of a doubt that Dracula and Harker and Mina and Lucy all have their own random gender inconsistencies, and should run away and live together by the sea. I might have left out the part about the house by the sea. But I think it's implied.
Gone With the Wind is on downstairs. I watched a bit while eating lunch. Now I want to make a film with random wide angle montage sequences, and melodramatic expositional text (SHERMAN!). I watched the bit with Scarlett and Melanie killing the Yankee as well. It's nice that, despite all the Oppression and everything, if you watch old films or read old literature, you can still often find great, strong, fun female characters, even if they do go a bit odd and shaded at the edges. Yes :) Also it occured to me that Craig/Wade is a bit like Scarlett/Rhett, really.
(in the castle/cave)
CRAIG: (worried eyes) But...where will I go? What will I do?
WADE: Frankly my dear...(laboured breath)...I don't give a damn ::dies::
Except with Scottish accents instead of Deep South ones, of course.
Still blatantly in the Squee aftermath of Jekesta Knowing My Fandom (there should be a Sea of Souls/House of Leaves crossover! Craig in the House!). It is perhaps wrong that a mere two hours of television in which one of my OTP dies should give me such intense and apparently immortal joy. And yet I don't care :D
Spoilerific information about Sea of Souls Series Three episodes is here. Apparently they're doing six one-hour adventures now instead of three two-parters. That's BBC 1, 9:00 pm, January 7th. And eeee, Craig in danger! Craig unsure of himself! Craig with dangerous sexual obsession! For a WOMAN! That makes me laugh a little bit! Dead!Wade is going to be SO pissed off.

SPOILERS BELOW, OMG, BE WARNED!!!!
He does not touch him! This is terrible, but quite good for the characters, because, oh, the TRAGEDY of it is that they are clearly soulmates but THEY NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE! Especially not Craig, who is a bit rubbish with sex and feelings and things (for which I love him), and would have taken years to figure it out anyway. But they've had this thing where Wade wanted to heal the little girl or possibly 'give her' to his dead sister - we don't know until the very end. And Craig thought he was all phony and taking advantage, and then going to give her to the dead sister so he was running around trying to stop him. But then at the end its just them in the castle, and there's just angst and eyes of worry and finding out he was wrong, and lovely, LOVELY gay things said by John Hannah surreptitiously about their love, and Craig still doesn't know, and omg. You should see it! Join my fandom. Yes.
