have you smiled today, Auburn?
Jun. 4th, 2006 11:28 pmFor fic-related reasons that need not be disclosed, I was worried about Auburn yesterday. Worried about the doom and gloom she shrouds herself and her characters in.
murron called last night and we decided that constant doom and gloom could not be healthy, and, in fact, needed treatment. Mainly because we feared for Auburn's characters - well, and her, kind of sort of. A little.
So, here it is. The small edgy and round remedy to make
auburnnothenna smile and think positive. (Or anyone who feels down, really. But mostly her. Because life can be good!)

Thank you to
murron for the very cute covers and some additional music and the enthusiastic noises on the phone. :o)

I've smirked, is that acceptable?

What? That? I've got thicker skin than that, sweetie.
I think you just want me to write you food porn.
just barely

I don't just want food porn. I want happy food porn. How can that be wrong? *bats eyelashes*
Re: just barely
Date: 2006-06-04 11:29 pm (UTC)I'd finish Seven Walls and be quit of it a lot sooner if someone didn't keep distracting me.
But for you, I'll smile.
No happy food porn yet, though. Save for that UST laden scene we keep talkign about.
Re: just barely
Date: 2006-06-04 11:37 pm (UTC)Besides, how could I possibly distract you? I have not made any voodoo dolls. (Yet.)
No happy food porn? *cries* You said you loved me! And, think of Kat, too!
Something else, then? Ronon's story (can be short), to slot in to my part of Passage?
Re: just barely
Date: 2006-06-04 11:55 pm (UTC)"Don't know any."
"Sure you do," John told him. Teyla was using him for a pillow and he absently played with the ends of her hair.
"No."
"Even you aren't that laconic," Rodney said. "Tell us about the charm thing you've got in your hair."
"It's not a charm."
"So tell us what it is. We're bored here, you know. I may have shove mud in my ears if I have to hear Sheppard's story about getting his first nookie in a Ferris Wheel one more time."
"Kiss, McKay, kiss."
"My version is better."
Teyla felt John chuckle.
Re: just barely
Date: 2006-06-05 12:05 am (UTC)"I resent that," Rodney snapped without any heat.
After a pause, Ronon finally spoke.
"My brother's son gave it to me when I was on leave the last time. He'd carved it himself. His mother was an artist and she'd begun teaching him. The face is Sata, goddess of war. If you're brave, she protects you." He paused. "My brother said it wouldn't do me any good."
"Sata, huh?" Rodney murmured.
"Seems like she did her job," John added.
"Maybe."
"We are glad," Teyla added.
"Yeah?" Ronon said.

Too cute.
That shade of orange is either going to cheer you up or make you snap. It has an impact. Hopefully the former for Auburn.

Date: 2006-06-05 04:03 am (UTC)I wonder if there is any such thing as dark!food!porn? Maybe carnivorous cabbages? Reminds me of that vegetable episode of Lost In Space when I was a child. Did I ever tell you I was always cast in the role of Judy because I had the best scream? *g*
See what happens when you go on a nostalgia bender. You get horses, I get manic vegetables! *g*
no subject
Date: 2006-06-05 08:00 am (UTC)But every once in a while, I need something happy to cheer me up. You cannot exist on a constant diet of doom and gloom and angst. So, things like the above? I need like the air to breathe. And if I don't breathe, you don't get no flu-fic, which will be the mother of all darkness. So, there. *sticks out tongue*
no subject
Date: 2006-06-05 08:04 am (UTC)Can you please stop it? Enable darkfic somewhere else, because this is supposed to be a happy thread. Happy. For once. I need a freaking break from darkness. (Witness the excessive use of italics)
Fates almost killed me with the darkness and Yoshino killed me with the porn, and I know need both happy (or at least content) and gen.
If you ever want darkness from my side again, you had better go and enable some light for me first. *hands on hips and taps foot*
Well?

Date: 2006-06-05 08:09 am (UTC)Yes. The playing with Teyla's hair really, really does it for me. That's just so ... *sighs contentedly*
You know me too well. *loves and adores and generally marrries you*
no subject
Date: 2006-06-05 08:22 am (UTC)Been racking my brains for the lighter side of SGA for you, and coming up short. Maybe the ice hockey game with Chuck at Rodney's evil Canadian minion? Or maybe the one where Canada is taking over the universe, one polite act of mayhem at a time? *g*
no subject
Date: 2006-06-05 08:24 am (UTC)Think happy. For me, come on, I know you can do it. Happy. Small things. Charming things. Not necessarily fluff, just thinks that make you sigh and go: Yeah. I want to snuggle this idea.
no subject
Date: 2006-06-05 08:42 am (UTC)Hmmm... this might be hard. I've not seen much snuggleable in SGA recently, now that you mention it. *Would I be exposing myself to the possibility of burning if I mention that I have been reading a hell of a lot of snuggleable material in due South fanfic lately?*
So, while I wrack my brains for you, I shall leave you with a photo of my current snuggle bunny.

Date: 2006-06-05 12:00 pm (UTC)Oh and aren't carnivorous cabbages cute? Or perhaps it is just the way my mind is imagining them. Anyway, they'd only eat other cabbages because they are after all, carnivorous. Devastating to the cabbage world.
Long as there are no manic vegetables riding horses. :P

Date: 2006-06-05 12:04 pm (UTC)*tries to think of happy cute things* Ok, let's not do cute because what I find cute and what the rest of the world finds cute is incredibly different. After all, I think my icon is cute.
Huh. Maybe I'll go watch an episode or two to help...
no subject
Date: 2006-06-05 02:28 pm (UTC)Then you go to another place. This is the happy thread. *sticks out tongue and is a dictator*

*squints* What did I tell you about more sleep yesterday?

Date: 2006-06-05 04:17 pm (UTC)*looks at the clock* It is only.... 3 am. Ok, so I know you said to go to bed but I kinda forgot to look at the clock. Really. It is my excuse and I am sticking to it like glue. Sleep is really over rated.
Attack of the Killer Cabbages!
Date: 2006-06-05 04:28 pm (UTC)So now I'm smiling over the mental remake playing in my mind of Attack of the Killer Tomatos, only this time it's cabbages.
Juan is running for his life, pursued by a giant rolling cabbage, snapping leafy lips at him.

Date: 2006-06-05 04:51 pm (UTC)I had a rather disturbing image of a version of King Kong, only he is a cabbage. It is either that or packman, where all the little packmen are carnivorous cabbages chasing people down hallways. Cheesy music and all.
Re: Attack of the Killer Cabbages!
Date: 2006-06-05 04:54 pm (UTC)Breathe! Please, before you fall over.

Date: 2006-06-05 05:09 pm (UTC)I want happy snuggles and I get cabbages. Where is fairness in the universe? And in which universe does snuggles translate into cabbage?
*cries some more, soaking your shirt*
