... that any fic written while watching Pride and Prejudice MUST be better for it.

AMIRITE

Long story, short version: I want to write a Lightning/Hope scene for my time-traveling fixit fic*, and I have the 2005 version of P&P on my computer. CLEARLY THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE

And suddenly it turned out that Hope talking with Gilgamesh wasn't such a cracky idea (I'm so punny), and it's actually a really important scene and shit goes down and Hope and Gilgamesh get to talk about their ffffeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllliiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnngggggggggssssssssssssss.


Gilgamesh did not smile. "Hope Estheim, of the village of Palumpolum, you smell of death and quiet desperation. I have met many men like you -- men who desired a better world, who fought for it with every fiber of their being. You will not be deterred from this effort."

Hope shook his head. "Gilgamesh, of the village of Genji, my world is populated with many men just as you -- great men, motivated by love or duty or honor, who pledge themselves to the unworthy because they believe that what they do is necessary. And I have killed them all."

Did I just write a scene where Rygdea expresses his man-pain through talking about brewing beer?

YES THAT HAPPENED

THANK YOU WIKIPEDIA FOR TELLING ME EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BREWING BEER
SERIOUSLY


Did I just stay up till three hoping my friend and beta-er would show up online so we could talk about said scene?

WHY YES YES THAT DID HAPPEN


Did I, while waiting for her to finish being cultured and get back from watching Shakespeare in the park, stumble onto a new addicting tumbr and also a new television obsession?

THOSE THINGS HAPPENED TOO YES

I watched Starship Troopers this weekend (in celebration of Memorial Day, natch), and Seth Gilliam—Carver from The Wire—was in it. I was totally like "Man, killing bugs with nuclear-tipped RPGs is how we do things in the Western District!"

On the one hand, a cross-universe Starship Troopers/The Wire fanfic would be hilariously crazy and bad.
But here's a hint of what it might be like! )
