Well Played, Internet

[laliandra]

Hey you guys!

*waves at new people* Hiheyhello I'm Lal. Lovely to see you. How have your *checks the day* Thursdays been? I spent most of mine eating icepops in the park because I'm English and suspicious of sunshine. It may disappear at any minute! FROLIC HARD.

If you want to add me on Twitter you should because sometimes things like this happen in my feed

BEST. EVER.

Also I have been having a lot of Thoughts about heist!AUs, aka the merry band of conpeople stories of my heart. I'm not sure what it says about me that I cannot get enough of Lying Liars Who Lie but whatever, any kind of AU where people are super smart and kind of criminal is pretty much guaranteed to be my favourite. 

 

So when I saw the original facebook header I was like WHERE IS MY HEIST AU, SOCIAL NETWORK FANDOM? Come on, it would be so amazing. Mark as the head of a tiny criminal gang that everyone underestimates because of their youth and sweet looking faces until they pwn everyone and leave them sobbing in the ashes of their douchy big corporations? Win.

 

Which in turn made me think of this amazing gif of handsomeness, suit porn and fingersandleaningandnggggh. Ahem.

 

 

Inception/TSN? Arthur is like, I think you should tell me more about how that terrible man broke your heart and incidentally about those privacy settings on this "Facebook" thing... (because his research showed that the best way to get to Mark is through Wardo and the best way to get to Wardo is to look smoking hot and be super into him.) Orrr "speaking pointman to pointman". Even though I'm not sure that would be the casting I'd go for but STILL.

Also (Son of Also) it's been nearly two months and I haven't told any New York stories yet. Fail. What would y'all like to hear about?
 

Alsoalso (The Realsoing) I am going to be writing Glee fic for pod_together  and I'm not sure what to write yet so if you have had any wonderful fic ideas/thoughts/prompts throw them this way. I want to write something good because my podfic partner is really awesome *is smug*

I love that I'm basically the STAR OF YOUR TWITTER FEED RIGHT NOW. \o/

Heist!AUs, they're the best thing ever assdhfs;glks. Especially when they involve suits and porn. And Arthur. Seriously, lal, I cannot stop staring at that gif, WHAT IS IT EVEN. "Arthur is like, I think you should tell me more about how that terrible man broke your heart and incidentally about those privacy settings on this "Facebook" thing... (because his research showed that the best way to get to Mark is through Wardo and the best way to get to Wardo is to look smoking hot and be super into him.)" This, where is it, I NEED THIS. I WANT TO READ IT NOW.

Also (haha!), I'm super capslocky about everything at the moment (in case you hadn't noticed), and I totally blame you and your SPAU BECAUSE IDK IT JUST PUTS ME IN A CAPSLOCKY MOOD ALL THE TIME AND I'M CAPSLOCKING WAY TOO MUCH. D:

IT MAY BE THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED ON THE INTERNET, BRAN.

Yesssss, so delightful, it's a completely mesmeric gif. Can't stop looking at his fingers. They are such adorable hipster gymnasts. I think it only exists in my brain, sadly... I too want to read it!

That is ok! It's very... enthusiastic!

[branquignole.livejournal.com]

AHAHA, I KNOW RIGHT? DAMN, I'M PART OF THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED ON THE INTERNET. :)

Quick, lal, go write it! No, wait. Finish the SPAU first. Then write this.

[jibrailis.livejournal.com]

I can't get enough of heist AUs either! Mark would be the detached genius planner, making Eduardo be the one to crawl through sewer ducts and charm people into confessing all their secrets, and at some point Wardo gets frustrated and is like "you can do the dirty work too, you know?" but Mark just looks up from his laptop's schematics and says, "but you're so good at being dirty." and Eduardo may be a hardened con, but he blushes anyway because he is also a teenage boy inside.

and then they rob casinos. y/y?

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

Yay! They are so awesome. This is why Inception fandom is so good for me. All of the cons, all of the time.

YESYESYES OMG and Mark gets all Mark-flustered when Eduardo is wearing his catburgler suit. And Dustin is really good at counting cards, and no-one ever suspects him of being at all dangerous until he's taken them out with a nerve pinch. And then he replays the whole thing over the comms to the rest of the gang. And Eduardo comes from a really serious old school Crime Family.

...

In short, Y/Y/MFY

jhadjhga Inception/TSN thing, crying, I have this stupid wip going on that I need to get round to finishing one of these days. THAT GIF. I CANNOT STOP WATCHING IT.

And the original headerrrr oh god, like, I am fully aware and capable of differentiating between the movie and rl, but I am still stupidly fond of the rl gang. STUPID MARK ZUCKERBERG AND HIS STUPID TINY FLUFFY DOG. I also love that Eduardo is mostly in charge of "stuff" ajgsfj. THERE WAS A HEIST AU I AM SURE I DID NOT HALLUCINATE THAT, ughhh, okay, now I am doomed to scour the internet until I find that again.

ALSO SON OF ALSO. YOU ARE SO EXCELLENT.

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

REALLY? Tell me mooooooore. I have had it open in a tab since posting this and keep tabbing back. They are just so pretty, I am like a moth to the flame of their combined attractiveness. THEY ARE IN SUITS HOW IS THAT EVEN FAIR.

UGH THE TINY DOG. The RL people are pretty cute sometimes. I mean, RL Chris is actualfax amazing. I'm not sure that I want to be fond of RL Mark and yet I still am. Dammit, TSN. Brazilian affairs! SO CUTE.

THERE WAS? I really hope that you find it! I sort of want there to be one so that I don't want to write it anymore and also for there not to be because I can't stop thinking about it. Hellllp.

:D

OH MY GOD, JUST WHEN YOU THINK THE INTERNET DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER... IT DOES. Twitter was really epic yesterday, did you see Chris Colfer's cat drawings?

AND JESUS F CHRIST is that really the real original facebook thingy and not some fannish manip because I am boggling at it and laughing gleefully and then boggling some more. Bokmarked next to the getting towed thing. Who the hell is Andrew McGollum tho. I hereby consign him to the Billy Olson-esque "I don't really know whether that is a real name, or what you were doing there, or anything, and I don't really care" corner.

Maybe you see a potential heist in that gif, and it does sound epic, but all I'm seeing is a SPY!AU. They look so James Bond. I want them to be about to start playing high stakes poker. Really hot, really high stakes poker. Then again, I am of course rather on a conmen are awesome 8D high right now. I do love the idea of them being a team ala Hustle. The two pretty boys are trying to seduce each other! Or something. IDEK. But it would be epic.

What do you ship, glee wise? Klaine? Write Klaine! Wooooo, Klaine.

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

BEST. I laughed for about ten minutes straight. I did not! Link plz?

No it is real! The getting towed thing? But yes, totally real, and completely hilarious and amazing. He is the graphic designer! Who doesn't get a mention in the movie. But you have to admit that the design of facebook is actually pretty nice. The typeface alone *nerd*

There is a spyAU! But eeee it's such a great gif because the possiblities, they are endless. Are they rivals? Team mates? A con and a mark? ALL WE KNOW IS THAT THEY ARE GQMFS.

I am thinking of writing Klaine, maybe, but I have NO IDEA what D: help meeeee

[altogetherisi.livejournal.com]

The getting towed thing makes my life. every. single. time. So simple. http://tinyurl.com/6dslpkt You are right that that is hilarious and amazing. And so endearing, like omg real people with senses of humour not dissimilar from mine ohgodapproachingdangerousterritory retreatretreatretreat. It is pleasing on the eye. That's blue minimalism for you. It rules all. #whoisbillyolsontho

AHAHAHA EPICNESS. The Glee kids were all on a plane together, and none of them had any books, fail, so a bunch of them were like "Twitter! Entertain us!" and Chris Colfer from nowhere had pens and paper and drew funny cat cartoons. Round up here http://tinyurl.com/6f5hjxg :D

WHICH REMINDS ME. Frankly I have little hope, but I'm gonna try for Darren Criss tickets again tomorrow morning because what's a weekend in Wales without starting with ticket buying failure. So, heads up if you are masochistic enough to also want to try again.

I know there are spyAus! I stalk them for updates. Do you read them too though, because evil WIP alert. Unless there is yet another spy AU that is complete which I do not know of?

I HOPE THEY ARE ALL OF THESE THINGS. And thank god, former gymnast part time hipsters are still very much capable of being GQMFs. Which I haven't typed since I was into Pinto.

I can come up with Klaine plot bunnies! What do you want to write? Romance? Humour? Sex? An endearing misunderstanding perhaps? I love endearing misunderstandings XD

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

Heee omg that is amazing. I always get alarmed when people link through from facebook to LJ. Like somehow Mark Zuckerburg will follow it through and FIND ME. Aaaaanyway. Ahaha, I know, like abortabort but it's okay because Aaron Sorkin started it.

AAAAAAAh that is so adorable I can't believe that is Darren Starkid Criss on a private jet. What even. *_* CHRIS COLFER YOU ARE THE MOST ADORABLE AND AWESOME IN TOO MANY WAAAAAAYS. AAAAAAAH.

I have literally no money at the moment. None. I'd lovelovelove to get tickets but yeah, I cannot afford anything until at least next week. D:

Oh the former gymnast hipster club. I kind of hope they are friends now.

YAY OMG anything! You have read what I write! But I will take anything even as a jumping off point *grabby hands* give me your bunnies.

[altogetherisi.livejournal.com]

I love it. That is a totally legit fear, except, hello, AS IF he doesn't stalk the meme ANYWAY ohgodohgod. Best to just bow to the inevitability. (Hi Mark!) And, yes! Aaron Sorkin started it, therefore, it is noble and also why the dialogue is so flawless in this fandom. Plus Sorkin has equipped Mark with a ready made don't-get-involved-in-fandom-that-way-madness-lies warning with the Lemon Lyman West Wing ep. So really, we should be fine.

Do you think we could kinda twist former gymnast stuff into them becoming cat burglers? This appeals to me. NO ONE WOULD SUSPECT THOSE FACES. Also lol Spiderman the thief. IDEK.

DARREN CRISS' PERFECTION HAS SPREAD OUTWARD FROM HIS SOUL TO HIS MIND TO HIS FACE TO HIS LIFE. I can only hope it continues it's journey outward to heal the world. Every damn time Chris Colfer does something else awesome.

Klaine bunnies... I have no steampunk esque plot capabilities alright?! All I'm thinking of at the moment is some -endearing misunderstanding- where, IDK, someone makes Kurt think he really needs to have sex with Blaine, and gets all anxious about it, but then starts researching a bit maybe and discovering he does have a sex drive actually, who knew? While Blaine is really as charming and willing to wait and hold Kurt's hand as ever, and then they eventually have a "so, let's have sex!" "wait you want to have sex with me?" "wait, you don't want to have sex with me?!" "what, no, I mean, yes, of course I want to have sex with you, but you don't want to have sex!" "oh. well, no, I didn't want to have sex... except now, I kinda do want to have sex." "oh. well. should we have sex then?" conversation. Which can be resolved either with or without sex of any or no description, but hopefully lots of cuddling regardless.

Any good for you? I could probably come up with something better over the weekend. If I remember. Who knows.

THE GIF. DEAD.

The former gymnast current hipster club is small but perfectly formed
