Stories & Angel

[tarotgal]

Okay. I'm editing my last of the boykissing fics. They've all been titled, too. So that's saying a lot! LOL I'm attempting to update my site tonight (check my updates journal!) with all four and a Star Wars Obi fic I finished yesterday... and the QAF vids I've been asked to repost.

So... yeah... that's it. Expect the boykissing fics to be posted here within an hour or two at the latest.

I watched Angel today. Got very freaked out. Ew ew ew sluglike bad things! Ewwww! But Wes' "I got my throat slashed fuck off!" deep voice was so terribly sexy. You know, I never thought I'd say it, but I think I like angry bearded Wes even more than dorky adorable Wes. Love him. I think I'd be happy with almost anything happening in the series so long as Wes was okay in the end. Which is going to make the end of the series a bitch to watch. But, still, yeah, I'm enjoying it. Sexy pissed lad... I'll be his friend *sniffles* But it just goes to show you, don't believe everything talking hamburgers say. I think that's a good rule for everyone to know and follow. Most importantly, people who know talking hamburgers...
Yeah. Did I mention Wes is sexy when he's angry? *drool*

I have a request: Would it be too much trouble to add a link for your update journal to the list of links on the right side of this journal?

Because I only have one journal, and my friends and family can see it, I'm reluctant to add anything fetish-related to my friends list. It's easy for me to remember your personal journal, though, and I get my links to the rest of the fetish realms through your sites. *sigh* I really need a fetish-only journal, so I can friend you all like I've been longing to.

*feels stupid for not having thought of that already*

I'll finish posting the fics and go and do that right away! Sorry. And I totally understand. I started TOS all those years ago just so I could keep everything online together so I didn't have to bookmark various things and download them for others who went used my computer could see.

So, yeah, no problemo!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it...

I've had my own computer for the last four years, and lived alone the last 16 months so I haven't been very worried about what I download, though I do bury the .wav file folders when I know I'm having visitors. I've recently started seeing a guy (my first real (more than 1 date) boyfriend, though it remains to be seen how serious this might be, as I don't know him that well...he was a blind date!) and he's an information technology specialist at a company that builds and maintains web sites for various businesses. So now, if he expresses any interest in my computer, I'm gonna have to start covering my tracks incredibly carefully.

All righty! I posted the fics and added the link. Sorry about that. Je suis slow and stupid.

A boyfriend? Well hey! WAY TO GO!!! That's fantastic! Hopefully if he's a good boy he won't be the kind to go snooping through your computer uninvited. But I understand. I told the only two guys I've ever been really steadily dating about my fetish pretty early on so I didn't have to worry too much about that. But, yeah, I totally understand about the hiding. Usually I saved things on disk and stored them in secret locations. But cleaning out my history and all was a daily routine, if not more frequent.
But... wow! Boyfriend! Is he a cutie? :-) I love computer geeks... *is envious*

He's not drop-dead gorgeous, certainly not in the boy band/movie star manner, but he's certainly got appeal in his own right. He's very tall, and I like that...decent build, with a bit of a tummy which I certainly have no right myself to complain about and which honestly might make it more enjoyable to snuggle with him. Brown hair, can't really figure out eye color yet as I've been around him mostly at night or in restaurants with poor lighting. He's certainly smart enough though, and that's one of my main qualifications for a boyfriend which I absolutely will not compromise on. He's been a complete gentleman so far on our first two dates, and he's cooking dinner for me tomorrow night and then we're going to watch FOTR over at his place. He's never seen it but knows I'm obsessed with it, so he decided he'd better see it with me there to provide any explanations he might need. I'm touched that he's willing to see it just for me, though I have to wonder just a bit about a computer guy who hasn't seen it yet on his own *G*

I defiitely think you have a point there. Ever since his appearance on the show I've found him to be rather complex- balancing his knowledge and skill, developing a strong determination to fight Angel's fight with him, taking up the job as boss/leader for the sake of the group and the fight, sacrificing personal happiness time and time again (not just with women but with the other watchers and his father, etc.). He's able to make a point and stand up for what he thinks is right. And I NEVER would have accepted what he did as far as the prophecy and Connor if that hadn't already been firmly established many times throughout the series. That and the fact that even though he's so sweet and caring(I love the man and his tea discussions), he keeps a lot of feelings hidden from the others.

But if pissed-off!Wesley keeps hanging around Lilah it's definitely going to be easy for me to choose sweet&dorky!Wesley as my favorite.

DAMNIT! My whole response just got eaten. Growlness! Hrm... okay... going to try again here.

I'm a total newbie in this fandom. Not even a newbie, really. Less than a newbie. So just laugh at all I say :-) I totally bow to your wisdom on this subject!

What I meant to say about Wesley, and now maybe I'm more coherent? Is that I don't think a lot of people noticed him as "sexy" until season three. Well, no, that's not true; there was a lot of A/We during season 1 and 2 written, so...
Trueness. But slashing for comedy reasons or slashing because there are few alternative pairings isn't necessarily the same sort of thing. Many people simply don't understand the true sexiness of the sweet, bookish, rogue watcher. He's so my type...

I like Lilah. I think she's supersexyhot.
Hrm. I've never been a fan of the evil one-dimensional job-ambition-driven butt-kicking chick. But that's just me. I tend to hold long grudges against characters who try to hurt and manipulate the good characters I've bonded with. She's gorgeous, I'll definitely give her that. But her line delivery bothers me. The way she pauses just to make her words sound more evil. Growl. But I got used to Cordy's pauses and love them now... so maybe I'll get over that. And I suppose the show wouldn't be as interesting without her as a baddie. There'd certainly be less angsrty!Angel and I like that Angel...

Er... ::resists spoilery stuff re. Lilah::
A few days back on my vidding list someone posted a link to a Wes & Lilah video. My reaction "Wow! Wes and... Lilah? But there's not enough footage of the two interacting to make a Wes/Lilah video unless... oh shit!" I should have seen it coming. And I didn't watch the video. But I felt a little spoiled. I'm so trying to avoid it, but it's difficult since everything's out there floating around. I think I'll have a million things to look around for online when I finally finish and don't have to worry about spoilers.
But, yeah. I just vehemently despise bad/good pairings. In anything. I just... I guess I was raised on the prince & princess philosophy in childhood so it's hard for me to cross the lines. I've tried. I just can't get my mind around it.
I'm just going to say that if Giles had gone over to take care of Wes after the hospital incident the way I wanted him to, this never would have happened. Humph!
