Five for Friday
Nov. 3rd, 2017 08:25 pm1. I don't know if Gotham intends my takeaway from this week's episode to be that Zsasz and Headhunter need to be murder boyfriends, but that's pretty much where I went. They can go shopping for cool assassin outfits and compare notes on how weird Penguin is when he cries into one of Ed's old suit jackets. I'd read about a million words of that.
2a. I am on an SGA nostalgia kick. I've started re-watching the show with Emma, and I think I want to start writing fic again. I've been reading a whole bunch of Old School McShep and, and I just miss how much fun I had writing in that fandom. And the fic holds up; I go back and read some Old School Buffy, and a lot of the time, my tastes have moved on, but not so with the Old School SGA fic. Such high quality stuff in that fandom.
2b. I'm thinking of writing a McShep fic first, but I'm open to anything. If you were in SGA fandom, what fic did you always want to read that never materialized? Give me all your prompts--any genre, pairing, trope. Or just talk to me about the show and the characters and dynamics you wish had been explored but weren't. I'm having so much fun sticking my toes back in these waters. Come swim with me.
4. Josh saw Thor today; my turn is tomorrow. I can't wait.
5. Emma is really struggling with friend issues right now, and I don't know what to do to help her. One of her friends is really messed up; she's living in a neglectful, borderline abusive, household (but nothing I could call child services about); the girl has a lot of issues as a result. I'm pretty sure she has an eating disorder. Emma is mature enough to understand that this girl's wildly fluctuating behavior and propensity to take out her anger on others comes from serious issues that the girl can't control, but she also knows it's not okay for this girl to be ugly to her. *sigh* Another friend is having parental issues that seem weird to me because I know the parents, but I don't have the sort of relationship with the parents where I could potentially intervene (not an abuse situation). Another friend is dealing with the fallout of having sex she wishes she hadn't had (at 13). Her closest friend is a grade younger than her and does a lot of extracurriculars, so they've spent very little time together this academic year. So Emma is feeling lonely and abandoned by her small friend group and also worried for her friends. This age is so hard. I'm so glad she and I are friends and that she trusts me and talks to me and also that she's not having sex.
