A World Apart

This is going to be one of my rambling, fangirl posts. So strap in.

This all started rather randomly when I read that Katherine Isabelle (Ava from Supernatural) was in an X-Files episode ("Schizogeny"), and it happened to be one for which I have the DVDs. So I was rewatching that (incidentally the guy that played Ash was in that episode, too), and guess what other episode was on that disk? "Chinga"! The one written by Stephen King. I hadn't seen it in ages, so I watched it next.

( Cut just in case I'm spoiling someone for that episode OR Duma Key )

I found a cool page for Robin Hood related whatnots! The Legend of Robin Hood. There is a LOT there, all of it worth reading, but let me point out a couple of especially interesting parts.

For instance, the "God of the Witches" and "The Horned God" portions, which both made me go WTF but are no less interesting. Apparently, they are just some people reaching, trying to make Robin Hood out to be a pagan, nature-worship figure and taking it too far. They related him to a fawn or a stag-like god of the woods, worshiped by witches of the time.

( In which I quote... )

They also equate him with a trickster, like Puck!

( More quoting... )

The information supplied about Maid Marian is great, as well.

( Yet more quoting... )

And it draws parallels between Robin Hood and Peter Pan! EEEEEEEE!

( Do I have to say it? )

No kidding, I got attacked by a bird. Apparently, it thought I was a threat, because this little, brown bird swooped down on me and attacked the back of my head. It was beating its wings and squawking... So I batted it away, and it hit the ground. I was walking Darla at the time, so she crouched down immediately and started batting at it. It flew off, and she was jumping against the leash trying to fly after it. I swear to God, the look on her face was like, "you can pull birds out of your hair!? You're magical!" Holy shit, that was random!

My icon is so sad... but it's the only King-related icon I have over here. It just so happens to be my favorite quote from Desperation, too. Anywho, I got this meme from a King community on LJ, but I didn't feel like answering it over there.

Ghani! Your graphics are ready. :D I hope they're all right! I always worry, because I am a goober.

So bored! So I pulled out an old quiz...

Get Your Sexy Name

Basically? Yeah. That's about it. And he was the only one that I could get both first and last name to work. They have to be less than ten letters long. Boo...

Disclaimer: This version of Robin Hood is mine, though I definitely didn't create the legend.
Summary: Tuck delivers a much-needed message to Robin.

( Whenever Tuck said he “wanted a word”, that meant that Robin should hop to and seek a more private atmosphere for the two of them to talk... )

So what if I already giveded you a present. Here is another:

Lookit Chase's face... That is made of win, LOL!

Ghani, look what I found! Kat Dennings Online! She finally has a fansite! :D

Something borrowed, something blue...something like that. Give me one of your characters and one of mine and I will write you a short drabble of what a marriage proposal could be like for them! Feel free to pick a current ship, complete crack, or even one we've played or discussed that out and I'll do a variation of sorts. (specify universe please!)

Meme 2
Without looking at my current and past character directories, what patterns do you associate with my roleplaying? For example, with X-Men RPing, this can include things like gender, mutant powers, physical details, PBs, family history, personalities, specific characters, etc.

*refuses to copy Ghani's answers*

1. One movie that made you laugh: Wedding Crashers. I dunno! It just did it for me!

2. One movie that made you cry: RENT. I sobbed like a child.

3. One movie you loved when you were a child: Innerspace! I was obsessed with that movie! I watched it ten times a day. Who would have thought a movie like that could capture a child's attention? Then again, I was weird from the start.

4. One movie you’ve seen more than once: There are lots of those. I think The Matrix might hold a record, though.

5. One movie you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it: I'm never embarrassed to admit to liking a movie, but I do like several that are NOT popular. Loved Ghost Rider, Hitchhiker's Guide, Unbreakable... oh wait, one? Sorry. :p

6. One movie you didn't like: What movie was I talking about just last night with Danielle? UltraViolet! That was it! Because not only was it the cliche chick-kicking-ass (so sad because I love Milla and wanted it to be better), but it was boring on top of that. Yeesh.

7. One movie that scared you: Cube. Even more than the violence, the psychological aspect is just incredible.

8. One movie that bored you: Golden Years. Technically, this was a TV miniseries, but I am counting it, because it is the longest, most entirely boring thing on the planet. I swear it was twelve hours long, at least. It's actually called Stephen King's Golden Years, and the fact that he, my personal hero, wrote this makes me want to sob in despair. It was bad. Really bad. I watched it only because Danielle and I were watching EVERY MOVIE back then, even more so if it sported King's name. We basically spent several hours talking over the movie and making fun of the dude's caterpillar mustache.

9. One movie that made you happy: Grindhouse. Seriously! I've never had more fun in a movie theater!

10. One movie that made you miserable: Pan's Labyrinth. By the time it was over, I wanted to shoot myself. Just ick.

11. One movie you weren’t brave enough to see: I agree with Ghani about the Saw movies. Not even Cary Elwes (*heart throbs*) could make me watch that. But I also want to cite the Hostel films. Anything torture-porn related is too much for me.

12. One movie character you’ve fallen in love with: SO MANY! Tony Stark will have to do. ;) TONY'S BALONEY PONY FTW!

13. The last movie you saw: In the theater, The Dark Knight. On DVD, The Eye.

14. The next movie you hope to see: Kaz wants to rent Penelope with me, because she said it was awesomely cute, so I think that will be it. :) The next theater movie that I am heavily anticipating is Watchmen, but I think Fox, in their huge suckitude, is going ruin any chance of that. *cries!!!!!*

Spiders are fucking douche bags, okay? They're like evil, eight-legged ex-boyfriends. They show up at two in the morning, stumbling around and scaring the shit out of you... Seriously, why do they only come out right before you're ready to go to bed? What is the logic and/or justice in that? FUCKING HATE.

And this one? Was a big mother. By my standards anyway. Big and red and had spindlies sticking out of him (I don't think those were legs, because he wasn't walking on them), and he looked almost segmented into two halves. I have never seen a spider like this fucking thing before. Of course, I had to call in my usual backup: mom. Just thank God it decided to crawl its nasty ass back out from behind my entertainment center, or I'd be sleeping with mommy right now. Hell, I still might! That's how much this kind of thing freaks me out!

Mom squashed it with my sandal. It left a huge smear, too. GLACK! Bleh bleh bleh. Patooie.

Practically anything else could invade my room, and I would not get this scared. A cobra could slither in here, and I'd just whap it and run. Aliens, from the movie Aliens, could bust through the wall, and I'd be like, "awesome!" And the only thing that would make that better is if a Predator was right on its tail. Like literally riding its tail. I'd just manage to duck a few times and watch the show. Vampires and werewolves? I welcome that shit! Well, not even just compared to spiders, but... you get the idea.

Hey, maybe that's why Yancy is a douche! It all makes sense now... Speaking of, I don't know how I manage to love Anansi/Yancy so much when I can't abide spiders at all. I am confusing even to me.

Mwehehehe...

( It's not really THAT sinister... )

P.S. In the hospital thread? When I wrote this:

"You know what? Just... give Peter and me a minute. We'll be right back."

"Minute" was originally "sec". But when I typed it, my insane typo was "sex". So it said, "Just... give Peter and me a sex." How fucking Freudian can you get? Jodi and I giggled about Robin's tip of the slongue until I was forced to change it to a totally different word. :p

OMG YES! YES YES YES! God bless the soul that put this up. JENSEN SAID MEN IN TIGHTS! AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! He's Robin. It's totally canon now. I'm so damn happy right now.

( ...I was forced to make a manip and icons! )

EDIT: ( More! )

I guess that proves how "American" I am then, eh? :p And his posh British movie!accent made me cackle!!!!

EDIT: Oh, and look! Daffy Robin Hood!!! I hadn't seen this in ages! This was one of my favorites when I was little! I loved watching Daffy hit those trees over and over, and it still makes me laugh to this day. Mwehehehe!

I don't know if you guys will be more successful than me, but it can't hurt to ask. I need icons of Liam Neeson and Marton Csokas as they appeared in Kingdom of Heaven. I can also settle for Liam in Batman Begins. So give me any links you find! If there are none to be had, I can always make my own. This would just save me the man-hours, hehe.
