still counting my blessings

green_appleThings to be grateful for:
Saturday: Green tea with a splash of orange juice. Smooth Heaven, I call it.
Sunday: William Gibson's Bridge Trilogy suddenly sneaking its way into my peripheral vision at a second-hand books store. No need to explain the wonderful hours I've spent basking in his ability to bullseye words and metaphors, now do I? Miss Molly Millions fiercely, but I'm making do.
Monday: I had this really crazy crossover idea while in the shower, as one does. It involves (wait for it...) Merlin and (wait some more...) Inception. Uther would be the Cobb-like character, naturally. Arthur would be the point man and general badass of surprising depths of competence (and emotion, him being him and all). Gwen would be the architect because she would so love the whole creation part, and she'd also be the heart of the team while remaining quietly badass in her own adorable mixture of fumbly unflappability (say that three times fast). Morgana would be the forger, and when Uther went to get her from wherever it is she took off to, he'd have to use Arthur's name because she's loyal to her (maybe) half-brother in a way she could never be to her (maybe not) father, because this particular relationship is seriously complicated and she'd rather do without. But Arthur is her bro and she'll fight the ocean if it seems to be encroaching on him ::has her very own cannon::. And Merlin, as Gaius' apprentice, would be the chemist who would also double as the wildcard (otherwise known as the tourist) who gets things done when all the others got their hands full, and as such is essential for the team's completeness.
I don't think I'll be writing this one, though. Or if I do, it won't be any time soon. Idek. Merlin's eating my brain. I also cooked up this one scenario where Greek mythology met Dune and converged on Merlin... I would get me a new distraction but season 3 is fast approaching and so it would be an exercise in futility. Oh, well.
Tuesday: This one, yes. This morning I woke up to find in my inbox the visual of Kat's fist knocking a certain asshole's lights out, which made my day very early. I suspect this will continue to provide glee for a long while, as these things go. Thank you Kat, ILU SO MUCH!
As well as I love very muchly the rest of the perfectly fantastic ladies who've made me disregard my 'oh shit!' moment upon realizing I'd forgotten to block the comments on that last post as I intended to. Screw that, y'all rock and make me smile so hard. Come now, group hug ::hugs you all::

Oh my, get out of my head O.o

Date: 8/31/10 13:38 (UTC)It's like Merlin was made with the express intention of providing fandom with an inexhaustible source of crossover possibilities, I feel. I'm in the middle of ridding my mind of crazy hijinks with elemental forces (I even got down to write for that one) and Guinevere Goddess of the Land interpretations, I fear they might sort of blend somehow and I'd end up with a chunky soup of ideas that could only aspire to be mildly cracktastic at best, and completely cracked at worse.
I would soooo read whatever you wrote in this sandbox (or any other sandbox, really) too! So, should feel the need to, GIVE IN. I'm telling you, resistance is futile.
P.S.: I love how now that Morgana is supposed to be evil, she gets to wear red lipstick and eyeliner. I mean, we all know make-up means you don't get to go to heaven, right?
