End of the year, so it's the Slashies 2019.

Slashies 2019

Well. Fandom has been thin on the ground for me for the past few years, but there has still been some stuff I enjoyed. New stuff! Old stuff that was new to me, and actual new stuff that was new to the world. So that was nice. But there are a few pairings and characters you might see more than once below. But without further ado! Let the award-giving commence.

Best Enemy Pairing:

1. ( Steve Harrington/Billy Hargrove, Stranger Things )



2. ( Deacon St John/O'Brian, Days Gone )

Most Beautiful Man:

1. Steve Harrington from Stranger Things - it seems I can't put pictures in a post anymore, so here's a link. askjfhsajkdfh



2. Billy Hargrove from Stranger Things. asdkjsadkj



3. Will Laurence from the Temeraire series. I CAN'T EXPLAIN. ( Spoilers )



4. Deacon St John. Not enough people loved Days Gone. Even some of those that did didn't love Deacon St John. HE WAS AMAZING. Sam Witwer did an amazing performance, and Deacon was heartbreaking and beautiful and funny. One of my favourite characters of the year, genuinely.

And the winner is: Steve Harrington. HIS FACE. HIS SELF. ALL OF HIM AND HIS SOUL.


Most Beautiful Woman:

1. Crush from DC Teen Titans.



2. Maya from Borderlands. My baby Maya.



3. Lisa Jackson from Days Gone. Not beautiful in sexy way, but amazing, genuinely my second favourite character in the game.



4. Laura Bailey. Watched some more Critical Role at the beginning of this year, and ye ye! And she's in my favourite outfit of hers in that picture. I am genuinely floored by her and her existence whenever I see her. She also happened to do the voice of the entry above. Love.



5. Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones. I know I didn't watch her properly or read the books, and I know that's not allowed. But everything I was ever really interested in in Game of Thrones was Cersei Lannister, and her general doneness with sexism. And her craziness. Earlier this year, when everyone was going on about Game of Thrones, which I didn't care about, and how bad it was, which I didn't care about, I knew I could always google something about Cersei Lannister and feel better. What's she doing now? Oh, she's obsessed with elephants. Perfect.



6. Vera Stanhope from Vera. I always forget about Vera because she's on at the beginning of the year. But she's on in January again soon, and so I remembered. She's genuinely one of my favourite things on TV at the moment, Vera is the only show I still regularly watch. She is amazing.



7. Flora Wilson from Year of the Rabbit. Easily one of the best parts of Year of the Rabbit. The best Victorian assassin you've ever seen.



8. Nadja from BBC What We Do in the Shadows. Oh Nadja. The best one.

And the winner is: Maya. My baby Maya.


Lifetime Achievement Award: John/Jim from the Hitcher (1985). One of my first enemyslash/psycho pairings, and one I still think about and look up fic for sometimes, to this day. Rutger Hauer died this year, but before that he gave us some pretty good films. Stay gay, boys.

I watched the European Champions League Final (yes I did see the game). I really have to start giving more things the benefit of the doubt. I didn't watch James Dean for years because I thought it was just about leather-jacketed rebels scowling at authority figures, until it turned out he cried. Likewise, no-one told me that football was about mostly failing, lovely legs, and beautiful hugging at the end. Oh God the hugs. ( Possible spoilers? )

I would have posted last night but I was a bit busy being freaked out by Anthony and Opie thing. Only a day and a half left at work before I get to go to London to see Pirates, and Cecilia. Before that I have to do washing up. Damn it.

Dear people. You may have seen adverts for a 'new' film coming out called 'The Hitcher'. You may have noticed that Sean Bean is in it. This is not in any way a reason to go see this film. Or at least let me come round and show you the original first. Obviously, I don't actually know how good or bad this film is going to be. But. Dude. DON'T SEE IT.

I have not much else to say. I hate adverts. At work I sometimes call Dunelm, and while I'm on hold they advertise at me. It's just pain. And I don't like the one on the radio for the local plastic surgery clinic who can "improve your self-confidence, lower your self-consciousness, increase your smile". And I don't like the one for Trent Windows (or someone), who basically say that they aren't faster or cheaper than other companies, but their work is just better, so just trust them, okay? OH GOD GO AWAY. That's essentially my feeling.

In other news, I have keys to Cecilia's house. Mwuhahaha.

( Film meme! )

Other random things that happened over the weekend I wish I had the internet in my room omg!!:

@ Not a lot now I come to think of. Not that I haven't already discussed in memes. Hmm.
@ Ooh, gay/bi-ness in Doctor Who! I came into the episode halfway through, and hadn't seen the first one, but I understood this part! I am waiting to see how this Jack fellow interacts with Mickey before getting too excited though ::is prudent::
@ Checked out Sin City comics. Comic!Kevin not nearly as pretty as ElijahWood!Kevin, and scarier for it. I could have done with some more of the Marv/Kevin sex fight scene though. 'He's wriggling around like a snake' - indeed...
@ Peter Serafinowicz on Have I Got News for You! Looking foxy, with his black half-open shirt and black hair! He is so a dark Sith-lord. And we all know Tim has the Force. Therefore everything that is sad about the slashiness of The Phantom Menace equally applies here yes.
@ South Park! I love it so! 'We killed our teacher and they found our seamen in her stomach'! 'Be not jealous Jew, for I am the creator of all things, yea'! The Catholic Boat! ::loves it::
@ Lots of things I will remember in an hour's time, but oh well ::loves you all!::
