Distracted By Something Shiny

Thank you, baby!!

I don't know, but: My builder is commissioning me to design a tat for him!

OMG, WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?!!!! OMG!!! That is wicked cool, darling! The design sounds awesome too, with the names of his kids hidden in it and all. OMG. It has become a whole thing for you...designing people's tats!

Then you'll take a design into a tattoo parlor one day and meet Jensen and he'll give you a job and then you and Misha will be bffs forever and you'll have sex with Jensen on one of the booth tables.

Wait...that might have been a J2 fic I read. Sorry.

HP - Take your mom! DO IT! It's the last one, the end of an era. Any even mild HP fan deserves to see it in the theater. Plus, it was kind of awesome, you won't be bored.

From:

What a lovely present for you! (And I'm glad you enjoyed HP - I'm surprised you didn't already know that Neville can be awesome when he chooses. :) But I'm not going to go and see it because I stopped watching the movies after the second one.)

Michael with hair just seems odd to me - though the drawing is lovely.

From:

I love my naked!M2 art, yes I do. ;)

I DID KNOW NEVILLE WAS MADE OF ALL THINGS AWESOME - I JUST THOUGHT IT NEEDED SAYING AGAIN!!

Honestly, Neville is the character I love the most (ssshhh, don't tell my wizard-boyfriend George). To watch him grow from the little boy who seemed so insignificant to the hero he became - it was an amazing character arc. I have often wondered if JK knew from the beginning (way back when Neville's Grandma sent him the Remeberelle, however you spell that) that Neville was meant to grow into this or if it surprised even JK?

Michael actually has fantastic hair, but sometimes I miss the bald head.

From:

You should check out

kanedax's HP fiction - he, too, is aware of Neville's ability to rule. And Luna's!

From:

hahaha I just went to look at his stuff and got a little overwhelmed by all of the HP fic options - but now I endeavor to read some of

kanedax's stuff, solely because I can totally back anyone who wrote a Sesame Street Apocalypse fic!! (have to go read that too!)

From:

Have fun!

From:

That art is kickass. So awesome!

I haven't actually seen the movie yet, (still deciding whether or not to give in) but I'm glad to hear you enoyed it!

Not gonna lie though, when you said Neville wins at everything, I thought you were referring to his MAGICAL transformation. Who would've thought that at the end of it all, Neville would be the hottest of them all. *is probably missing the point*

From:

I have such a thing for the M2 pairing! It is what prompted me to finally get full-on into fandom!

Oh, do see HP in the theater! If you can, watch the Deathly Hallows part one before you go and then go see part 2. It was very well done and I felt like because they broke it into two parts, they didn't have to cut so much out. We got all the best parts.

Who would have thought Matthew Lewis would grow into that. I mean, Neville wins everything - but Matthew Lewis can win me, if he wants.

Who would've thought that at the end of it all, Neville would be the hottest of them all. *is probably missing the point*

Maybe you missed the point, but you also make a valid point of your own. May I offer you a closing argument to your theory?

From:

Wow, does Daniel Radcliffe EVER see the sun? :P (Though they could all stand to work out some.)

From:

hahaha, I know, he is so pasty - though from what I understand, all the man does is work, so he probably doesn't ever see the sun. (so Harry Potter is a vampire then?)

I just love that Rupert is wearing Dan's face on his chest.

From:

That is pretty hilarious.

From:

bahaha, I didn't notice that!
love it.

From:

ok wtf happened to my reply here?? o_0

I've only read one M2 fic ever and it was such a random pairing to me, but the story was intriuging so I was like meh, whatever, and it was the cutest fic ever, you've just reminded me to go on a hunt and find it.

I stopped watching the movies I think after the fourth one, mostly because I didn't think they did the fifth one justice and it was my favourite book. I dunno, for me the books were it *is a massive nerd* (and a little part of me judges people who haven't read the books) but I think I do want to watch this one, just as soon as I get my hands on the first half first!

Who would have thought Matthew Lewis would grow into that. I mean, Neville wins everything - but Matthew Lewis can win me, if he wants.
hahahaha, totally agree.

Random, but the guy who plays Draco, I dunno, sometimes I see photos and I'm like 'omg he is SO hot' and then in other photos I'm scared to look at him. It's so weird, he's never in-between :S

From:

I don't know how I got into M2. I think I read

queenklu's J2 fic that had a M2 sequel and I was like, "Um, what?" but then I read the fic anyways,

queenklu's "A Certain Sense of Synergy Between Yourself and Me". After that I found the M2 community and read this excellent argument (http://m2-homegoods.livejournal.com/1036.html) on why the pairing works, despite the guys never having met in real life (to anyone's knowledge) and I was sold from that point on. Next I read

anyothergirl415's Quotable series and after that, I just joined the M2 community and hit the ground running from there.

What was the fic you read? I am always up for more M2. ;)

The fourth HP book was my favorite and they butchered the movie so bad - (well, the fourth was my favorite until the last two, now I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite, but I really loved Goblet) - and I just started bracing myself for them all to suck after that. I mean, the first movie was almost exactly the book and it was sweet and cute (and honestly I hadn't read the book when I saw the first movie, though I went and read all the books after my movie-viewing). And the second was okay, but that book wasn't my favorite anyways. The third was so vastly different than the others but I really loved the movie-style the director went with, plus Lupin owns my heart. The fourth was my favorite book and the movie was awful, so I didn't expect much anymore.

But I gotta say, the 7th movie (part 1) was unbelievably good - the actors brought so much to it. It was dark and intense and they didn't cut too much out of it, which always makes me happy. It was kind of epic, I have to say. But you sound more hardcore about the books than I am, so as always, brace yourself going in - but do give the last two movies a chance.

Tom Felton was an adorable little kid and then he went through this really awkward teenage phase where he just did not look quite right. I think maybe he has finally grown out of it!!

From:

Ok so I searched everywhere for the fic I read and I finally found it and I was like 'yess success! found it!' but then realised it was the Quotable series you mentioned. omg I suck. *mega facepalm*
So, yeah that's the only M2 fic I've read, and to be honest probably ever will unless the plot really appeals to me. I read the post you mentioned and I dunno, different strokes for different folks I guess lol.
Although you should read this: http://longsufferingly.livejournal.com/42711.html
and there are some recs here: http://spnstoryfinders.livejournal.com/3963215.html that I found while searching for the Quatable ‘verse

yeah I have to admit the last 2 books kicked ass so its hard to pick a favorite, but at the time I loved the fifth one :)
I think I made peace with the fact that I had to view the movies and books as separate, but I just gave up and watched them on DVD lol.

Definitely going to give the last 2 movies a chance, and a little excited tbh :D
~end of an era, being a part of history etc lol

Yep I agree. He also photographs AMAZINGLY or TERRIBLY lol. He's so cute though, apparently he went out and bought pizza for fans who had lined up overnight, and gave them out himself!

From:

hahaha Okay, first, I am friends with the author of the Quotable 'verse and I had to tell her this story - about me saying the Quotable 'verse got me hooked on M2 and you saying you had a rec for me and then being all, "Nevermind, it was the Quotable 'verse" - she was so tickled and laughed so hard to hear tbat story. Totally made her day.

Also, Mike & Misha took over Sweden!! Awesome. I've always thought Sweden would be a good place to live - so I'm down with moving there! I hadn't read that one yet. Sadly though, I had read all the recs on that rec list except one. I have read way too much M2, lol. But I am excited to have found one I haven't read yet, so I tagged it!!

He's so cute though, apparently he went out and bought pizza for fans who had lined up overnight, and gave them out himself!

Omg, Tommy Felton, you can have my heart. That is too adorable!

From:

haha, aww, that's great to hear! That fic was awesome :D

If I accidentally/notso accidentally stumble across any more, I'll pass them on :)
Well if Mike and Misha ruled Sweden it would be the best incentive to finally move there :P

From:

I saw this thing recently where someone was seriously saying they convinced their church group that Misha was the anti-christ. All I could think was, "If Misha takes over the world for real and turns out to be the anti-christ...I'm pretty okay with that."

I have actually written some M2 - if you so desire. (http://dodger-sister.livejournal.com/tag/pair%20-%20mike%2Fmisha) (I am such a shameless whore).
