Total drive by Wilson love.

I think I may have just fangirled. Eeeee!

Having skimmed my flist this morning, it would appear as though there are some mixed reactions regarding last night's House. I find that odd, as last night's episode became an instant favourite of mine. In fact, there was nothing I didn't love about it.

( House )

In other news, it would appear as though winter has finally arrived. If I'm really lucky, we may even get enough to make dog sledding possible. I would have been very depressed if I'd missed out on my annual trip.

I shall be back later with more Decoding the Subtext sometime this afternoon, but aside from that I anticipate being rather recluse for the remainder of the week. I caved to my xmas impulse to re-read LOTR, and so that, on top of researching and writing my remaining decodings has left me quite busy.

( actually, speaking of LOTR )

( House )

Also, yes, I owe comments/emails. Um... January?

Warning: This includes speculation for upcoming episodes, so if you're spoiler-free, you may want to avoid this one.

( Whac-a-Mole )

I'm still not quite capable of forming coherent thoughts, but that's not going to stop me from forming incoherent ones.

( Heroes )

And see, Heroes is so fantastic that I don't even want to talk about it.

House, on the other hand...

( holy fucking squee, batman! )

And now for a meme. I got tagged for this twice, and I think that means you're no longer allowed to ignore the tagging.

RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

( is there anything about me you don't know? )

On that note, I should possibly see about getting some work done.

PS: I need more Wilson icons. Presents and recommendations are appreciated. *g*

ETA: Also, how brilliant is it that Wilson drives a Volvo.

There are days when I seriously consider going postal. Between the girl who came into the gym this morning and blared her music over the sound system (drowning out the SH on my ipod in the process) and the girl across from me who *won't shut up* I am just about ready to kill someone.

The lack of coffee is apparently making me violent. But let's not talk about that.

Instead, let's talk about television, because that doesn't make me too angry.

( Heroes and House )


And on that note, I'll be back later with xmas card requests.

I think I figured out why last night's House didn't really work for me.

( spoilers inside )

Before we get started, I'm going to ask for an apology. I think House just broke my brain.

( House )

PS: I think I need a: "I can't decide on Cameron... oh shit, I am Cameron" icon.

Today I want to talk about fandom, or, more specifically, fanish interpretation of fandom with respect to source material. Confused? Don't worry, it'll all make sense.

My own fanish experience is fairly vast, and yet, I'm going to limit my thoughts to the three fandoms I currently follow (and note that follow does not necessarily imply participation). I'm going to examine each in turn, not in terms of the source material itself (although spoilers may be presented) but rather, in terms of fanish interpretation of said source material.

This entire entry is a generalization, based entirely upon my own observations. As such, most of my analysis will come across as irrelevant to individual fans, as each individual's experience will be different and result in differing points of view.

Long story short, this is me rambling, with no real purpose. I am looking at this from an entirely academic view point, so no 'wank' is intended. In fact, to drive this point home, the entirety of my analysis is later expressed in a mathematical formula.

( House, WaT, and SH: a fan's perspective )

Torrents + High Speed Internet = OTP!

So, yes, I woke up early this morning solely to watch House before I came into work. I'm glad I did, because eeeeeeeeeee! omg! ::flail::

( 3.01: Meaning )

Under usual circumstances, this space would contain a small variety of wishes. However, since I'm fairly certain you (at this moment) have everything you could ever hope for (not to mention that you're likely too busy (wink) to bother reading lj right now), I will simply say:

Happy birthday, coldbeer. Have an utterly splendid day.

~

I also wanted to thank everyone for their emails. I will get back to you, of course, when I have a free moment. I'm much clearer today, and not nearly as shell-shocked, so I suppose that's a good thing.

( and now I'm going to talk about House, and fandom, and SH, of course )

I said I wanted to talk about House some more after I'd seen the episode a second time. Well, I've done that now, but before I ramble on about House, I need to ramble on about SH.

( spoilers for both SH canon and the finale of House )

I think my brain might be broken, so you will forgive any incoherency found within.

( House finale )

It's 3:30 in the after noon, bright as day outside (obviously) and already people are setting off fireworks. Yep. Why? I don't know. Possibly because they just can't wait until the sun sets. Possibly because they're morons. I haven't yet decided.

The constant crackle-bang that's upsetting my cats aside, I'm having a splendid day today. It's Victoria Day here in Canada, and that means I'm not working. It's always a good day when I'm not working, but today is especially good because I'm sitting on my couch with a book at my side and my laptop across my knees and... ah, to be able to relax and do nothing. How brilliant.

I've even caught up on some fic. Not all fic, because for reasons I can't explain, I'm not so much into reading fic right now. I suspect it's the SH, because I can't seem to put it down. Strange for a girl who hated the collection the first time she tried reading it. Possibly all things should be read through a slash lens. Slash makes things uber shiny.

So naturally this entry is about SH. Or, more specifically, extensions of SH. I'm nearing the end of canon, and I understand there are things outside of canon (television shows, movies, plays, other books) that I should be made aware of. So this is me humbling requesting said information. In other words; where do I go once I'm done reading all the canon stories?

Also, on a completely different topic (but not entirely unrelated), what is up with all the Cuddy/House fic lately? Seriously, fandom. IVF and sex? DO NOT MIX. I don't care how cute you think Cuddy and House are together (although, the pairing rather squicks me --I might even hate them together), she is not going to have sex in an effort to get pregnant. In fact, knowing people who have done IVF, I'm pretty sure sex is forbidden. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't she like uber fertile right now? Doesn't that imply that sex could be quite dangerous? Isn't she a doctor? Wouldn't she know this? Wouldn't House?

It occurs to me that I should probably just stop bitching and write something, because obviously I have no right to rant when I'm not willing to do anything about it. I think I'm starting to get frustrated by my fic writing hiatus. Sadly I have two days next week with auditors (and then they leave! squee!) so I can't do a damn thing until then.

And now that I'm back to bitching about my job...

I am curious. For those of you who have been in the House fandom longer than I have, and for those of you who read House/Wilson, is Wilson always made to be the bottom?

Oh, don't get me wrong, I've found several fics where this isn't the case (in fact, if I've friended you in recent months, it's because your fic makes me happy --and one of these days I'll get better at leaving feedback). But there seems to be a fandom wide assumption/rule/notion that, in the majority of cases, it is House who fucks Wilson, and not vis-versa.

Perhaps I am simply reading the wrong fic (in which case, please point me to the good stuff), but for every ten stories I read, inevitably seven of them feature top!House and bottom!Wilson.

I do not like this.

And, okay, as a rule I don't like pairings where one character is strictly a top and the other strictly a bottom (hence why I could never get into SG1 slash), but this goes beyond that. Because, when I picture the two of them in my head, it is Wilson who ends up fucking House.

In fact, I can see it starting with an argument. I can see Wilson frustrated, House pushing all the right buttons (because he lives for that) and House keeps pushing and Wilson just gets angrier and angrier, and more sullen until, eventually, Wilson snaps. And I can see him just taking. Not even asking. I'm talking about bordering on non con taking. And hurting. Because I don't think, in that moment, that Wilson would necessarily care about House's leg. In fact, I'm fairly certain it wouldn't register until after the fact, and then there wouldn't be tenderness. No, just guilt and self loathing that Wilson would hide behind a wall of silence and avoidance. But he would take. In that moment, he would press House up against a wall, or throw him down onto a couch, or pin him against a counter and *take*. Hell, he probably wouldn't even take his tie off. Or his pants. Or his shirt. He'd just pull himself out and take because it's pretty much the only thing that's ever going to shut House up.

And House would probably love it, even though he'd be shocked into silence (because this is Wilson and how long has he been pushing, hoping for this reaction?) and have to take a few Vicodin after the fact. I guess the point is that I don't see their first time being sweet and tender. Oh, I have no doubt they are capable of it (down the road, of course), but the first time? The first time is going to be a war, like their conversations, except here they are sparing with their bodies rather than their words and... why can't I find this?

I'm totally alone in this, aren't I?

( which brings us to tonight's House )
