Cat sitting this week at a friend's place nearby, usually I go home for dinner and family time but abandoned them tonight, had work to do (actual working from home work for my actual work). Finished earlier than expected so have had some Black Sails faffing time, yay.

I've reblogged a bunch of random stuff to my tumblr (which is all I use tumblr for), read some not spoilery fics recced by my bff and watched a couple of vids (multiple times).


Fics

you and i survived Vane/Rackham, Bonny/Rackham. Mind the tags for dubcon warnings, I was fine with it and I won't read rape fic. Pre-series, Bonny and Rackham join Vane's crew. This is freakin amazing, not just for the relationship development but for Rackham's pov thought processes.

For a change of pace, cute little Flint/Silver fic - Green-Eyed Monster Silver gets a macaw and calls her Flint

And a nice little sort of Rackham/Bonny/Vane one Braids In which Jack absentmindedly braids the hair of those he loves while lazing around in bed and no one minds it.



Vids

Loves Like This Flint all the way. SPOILERY to end of S3 - especially if you read the Summary. (if you don't I guess you could just see Flint being violent and sometimes kissing people *g* ) I've watched this vid several times this evening, it's awesome. And intense.

The link above is the embed at AO3, yay for commenting, or here's a link at vimeo if you'd rather avoid spoilery summaries etc.



On a completely different note, my bff showed me this next vid before I'd watched more than a couple of episodes because it's not plot spoilery - it's lighthearted first season (possibly second too, I can't tell) Flint/Silver humour vid. Full disclosure, I did not like Silver much until S3, so I was only mildly amused by this the first time, now Silver's has had character growth (so much, omg) I can look back on smirky Silver more fondly, and this vid is FUN. - Lonely Boy

On the off chance I'm not the last person in the world to see this - awesome HP vid about Neville.

I know I didn’t spend it dozing over my books, that was the night before, and the night before that. I didn’t go on tumblr, because I’m boycotting that until end of semester.

Ooh, I did the friending meme from the inspector_lewis comm. It was a bit daunting, but then I had an epiphany that I can hardly moan about the decline of LJ/dreamwidth if I never friend any new people. Also resolve to interact more. When did I get so cautious about putting myself out there?

( And someone sent me links to bits and pieces for Matt Smith’s role playing Christopher Isherwood )

Fun Gathering today, lots of Vividcon vids watched, yay!

I'd mentioned a few vids I'd seen and enjoyed in the last couple of days (just found them from the lj vidding comm:

Batman and Mumford and Sons combo - I Gave You All (Under The Red Hood/Jason Todd) (I'd never heard of this movie but now I really want to see it)

Captain America comics (Steve/Bucky) set to OMG Celine Dion - It's All Coming Back to Me Now

Oh, this is a fantastic Dr who vid -
Summer of 69


Stayed up stupidly late last night reading this, totally hooked, though the theme isn't normally to my taste at all (angst/memory loss). It's Tony/Steve, but it's really about Tony coping with slowly losing himself. Great plot and roadtrip, with bonus Loki - The Last Love Song of Anthony E. Stark by jibrailis


And for anyone who's into Person of Interest who doesn't know Speranza's just posted a wonderful little Reece/Finch fic -
The Silenus Club by Speranza

Fabulous vid by LithiumDoll - dl or youtube link HERE!!!

( Cool artwork )

Am I the last person to see this FABULOUS Star Trek vid????

It has MIND MELDS and FLASHBACKS - The Test

*FLAIL*

An actual Lewis/Hathaway vid that captures *something* of their relationship. Why can't someone make a vid that just shows all the ways Hathaway watches Lewis all the time and the way they look at each other out of the corner of their eyes when someone says something they think is funny and their non-existent personal space and how neither of them date but go to parties together and hang out at Lewis's place and only take up half the couch and Hathaway says half jokingly 'thank god we've got each other' Ahem, what was I saying?

( Lewis fic recs! )

It’s that time of year when Vividcon is over and the fabulous vids premiered there become available online. Most of the vidders I know already and can be pretty confident I'm going to like their vid/s but it's also a chance to see new (to me) vidders. I also tend to backtrack and find the vids they've been making the rest of the year while I wasn't paying attention. Or the whole catalog if it's someone I've somehow missed before.

I haven't had a chance to check them all out, some are on imeem, which for some reason won't play sound for me atm, and some are in fandoms I don't know. Also I have to stop downloading, uh, anything, right now, otherwise I'm gonna get us shaped and Dragonfly will be Cranky.

If you want to check them all out, or keep up with vids generally I recommend checking out vidding.

( Vid recs!!!!! )
