i need a spa day, man

I've gotten a smattering of holiday cards already, and let me just say, there is nothing quite as awesome as trudging downstairs to get the mail, half-awake, and seeing an envelope addressed to Mel Sparklepants. I mean, that's just fun. So, huge thank you to [livejournal.com profile] sorachsilver, [livejournal.com profile] gaffsie (that is kind of the cutest John and Rodney drawing ever), [livejournal.com profile] sky_flakes, [livejournal.com profile] fawkesielady_ed, and [livejournal.com profile] pennyplainknits (Hogswatch FTW). As a bonus, my father is ragingly jealous. "Why don't I get mail from Germany?" he whines every time he passes them. \o/

In other news, I have a few fictional bones to pick.

  • Writing het sex does not automatically grant you the right to use terrifying metaphors like 'scramble her eggs'. If a man ever even mentioned scrambling my eggs in a joking manner, I would knee him in the groin.

  • If, metaphorically, RayK and Fraser are having gay sex and Fraser decides to suck on Ray's nipples, it is not acceptable to describe anything on Ray's body as a tit. Ray Kowalski is so skinny he's freaking concave. There are no tits. Do not do this. I will cry.

  • Rodney McKay does not speak like Bill S. Preston Esquire. Sputtering? A-ok. Post-coital blithering? That's pretty much a given. "Totally radical, dude, can I bum a ride?" No. Please acquire an episode or a brain. Either will do.

Ahhh. I feel much better now. *places cucumber slices over eyes*

Now I want a fic where some Ancient device has Rodney speaking like a surfer dude, much to his chagrin.

I once came across a John/Rodney fic where Rodney laved attention on John's breasts. And no, it wasn't genderfuck. D:

And when Rodney tries to express his chagrin, all he can say is "bogus" and "bummer". :'(

hmmmm, you got any het recs? i got a friend (http://gaffsie.ivejournal.com) who'd be interested.

what kind of brain trauma would rodney have to have undergone to speak like a surfer? i shudder to think.

ROFL SCRAMBLE HER EGGS. *needs the bleach asap*

'scramble her eggs'

*headtilt* That... makes no sense at all.

Please tell me the third one is a joke? *whimpers*

And yay! It got there!

OH MY GOD WHY. D:

I know! It's obvs not a direct quote, but. Pretty accurate nonetheless. Sighhh.

Hahaha, no, I don't read fandom het unless it's genderswap. It was actually - brace yourself - published.

oh dear god NO. the HORROR.

Rodney McKay does not speak like Bill S. Preston Esquire.

Puts brakes on hard

I am scarily fascinated by this.
What kind of AU (because it would have to be an AU) would bring this about?

Is he 16 (I like 'em young, shut up) trying to impress John, King of the Surf Sheppard? Of course Rodney has a new surfboard design. Just because he doesn't actually want to get in the shark infested water himself....
and then there's beer and bikini's and Rodney's kind of fascinated at the way John's trunks slide down so low.

As for poor concave chested Ray. Guess not everyone can have McKay nipples that you could poke an eye out with...

You realize I am hurting my brain for you. ;)

The only time I can think that Rodney would ever do that is if he was mocking Sheppard mercilessly for being a Ted "Theodore" Logan Clone. XD

Although I second the ancient device idea. I seriously want to hear technobabble run through California surfer!speak. That would just be comedy gold.

I would read this. I would read this SO HARD.

Maybe the writer had a man-boob fetish.

It's frightening isn't it?

Rodney never will learn to say the word quite right. It always comes off his tongue short and clipped off and usually with a finger-snap or two but-

there is a certain advantage. If he calls everyone DUDE, he doesn't have to be bothered remembering names :)

How long before John has him talked into skinny-dipping?

[identity profile] beahorgana.livejournal.com 2008-12-15 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Rodney would skinny dip w/ John (the only person he doesn't call "dude"; he has no trouble remembering the name b/c it is simply so generic) on the first night! I like my teen!rodney to be as arrogant about his looks as he is about his brains.
