Ah fandom, thou art a Great Distraction

[kat_lair]

Things that have kept me sane and entertained and happy lately:

- This delicious James McAvoy picspam

- Interesting musings about fame and real person fandom

- Doing two mixes for the Mixtape Exchange (one for Psych, one for gen theme of 'slow slide to madness/evil' *g*). Also really looking forward to receiving mixes for all three of my prompts.

- Dwarves from The Hobbit

- Reading fic in various fandoms. I think next week is possibly Kat Recs All The Fics: Round 2, so you might want to mentally prepare yourselves for another week of fic recs. Hardship I'm sure.

- Trying to write some fic. Have over 2,000 words of ridic George/Mitchell (Being Human UK) rentboy!fic done that I'm trying to finish... Also, I just found four handwritten pages of Gus/Shawn (Psych) rentboy!fic on a notebook. Apparently I'm working on a theme. And that theme is male prostitution.

- Rewatching all of Glee. I don't even care, it's my happy place right now and I still have ALL THE FEELINGS about Kurt. And Blaine/Kurt. Also Brittany/Santa. My favourite scene of season 2 is the Kurt&Blaine duet at the Regionals, especially because of Puck's/Mark Salling's face in the audience when he's watching it, how unashamedly emotinal he is. I have a theory that it is actually more Mark Sallig being a GIANT SAP WITH HEART-EYES than any acting in character.

- Speaking of Glee... A confession: I'm having a massive celeb crush on Darren Criss at the moment. I can't help it, he's just so geekyandscruffyandhotandhewritessongsohgodiwanttobakehimcookiesandthentiehimtomybedand... Um. Anyway. I may or may not have folder titled in 'Darren Criss Sex Riot' on my laptop, and these may or may not be just some of the photos from there.



This first pic is for moth2fic's benefit because even though she hasn't watched the show she still listened to me ramble about it today. Here is Darren in character as Blaine (left), Kurt's (right) boyfriend. Mmm school uniforms. I am DESPERATE for a less twee photoshoot of these two, though.





That was Blaine. Here's Darren.






Nnngghhh arms.




And glasses




So many bondage references, so little time.





Multicoloured nail polish. How so ridic and hot?




Oh, I remember now. This is how.




He plays the guitar. I feel there's a joke to be made here about the size of his instrument, but he looks too adorable for it.






Man, I love black-and-white photographs.

DARREN CRISS SEX RIOT

[http://users.livejournal.com/shing_/]

I'm having a massive celeb crush on Darren Criss at the moment.

ME TOO. It's been a long time since a celeb crush has reached these proportions.

I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT GLASSES PIC OHMYGAWD.

The entire Klaine/CrissColfer fandom are basically waiting for 2 things: (1) a joint interview with Darren & Chris and (2) another photoshoot. 3) Hot Klaine sex scene but we'll be happy with just another kiss.

oh god, ikr? everything about him makes me happy in my pants

I HAVE SUCH A THING FOR HOT BOYS IN GLASSES GAH.

And all three of those things would be awesome indeed. I really want the photoshoot from this fic (http://skintightsocks.livejournal.com/9232.html) to happen in real life.

Thank you - now I at least know what you're talking about ;)

And thanks for the dwarf pic, too!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Hee, it's good to have a visual reference...

Really looking forward to that movie.

ps. Harry Potter was pretty awesome!

Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed my picspam, bb. :)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed it so very much that I didn't have brain capacity to comment... &you;

Oh god. I've managed to develop a massive crush on Darren Criss without ever having seen a full episode of Glee. He is just. so. lovely. Have you seen his Twitter? Have you seen the things he posts?

Cheers for linking the James McAvoy picspam, but also romanticalgirl's post. The way we relate to celebs is something I've been thinking about (and struggling with) recently and that post gave me some real food for thought, so thanks for sharing it.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I may now be following his twitter. Even though I rarely log in anymore because I don't seem to be able to handle more than one social networking site at a time. Capacity for anything limited atm. Anyway, Darren. OH MY GOD THIS (http://www.whosay.com/darrencriss/photos/49113) *__________________*

Oh, that's so awesome that you enjoyed the links. :)

Because you will love it, I present to you A Very Potter Musical. That's also the link to A Very Potter Sequel, which isn't as awesome because it doesn't have Voldemort/Quirrel. (Which manages to be sweet, hilarious, and kinda hot.) Though it does have the guy who plays Voldemort as Dolores Umbrage and the guy who plays Quirrel doing the Irish equivalent of Dick Van Dyke's cockney accent.

I have already watched AVPM and AVPS and they were indeed awesome and cemented my crush for Darren. I share your opinion though; the sequel wasn't as good and while I loved Voldemort, the Umbridge character mostly just annoyed the fuck out of me. The woman playing Draco though was just constantly amazing, even with the potty humour.

[loki-dip.livejournal.com]

Oo... Gus/Shawn rentboy fic. This is very appealing. :)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

It was only meant to be a silly ficlet of the 'I won't write this, but other people should' variety, now I'm trying to get them to have sex. Sigh.

[loki-dip.livejournal.com]

BUT NOW YOU SHOULD. You've started it at least, it's more than everyone else. *g*

For scheduling reasons I found myself in the Glee panel at San Diego Comic Con this year and Darren Criss was one of the few actors in attendance. I haven't seen much past the first few episodes of Glee, so I had no first-hand experience as to who he was.

But my conclusion was that he was adorable and nerdy and that he's my favourite, somehow, despite the fact I haven't really seen the show. Um.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I have seen clips of him in interviews and like his Glee audition tape which is the most adorable thing ever.

I do recommend you check out the A Very Potter Musical and its sequel though... they will only make you love Darren more.

I'd heard of A Very Potter Musical from my time in HP fandom but hadn't seen it. Plainly, I know what I'll be doing this evening...
