... I really need to work on this habit I have of getting completely obsessed with a hideously obscure pairing/fandm, and then getting so desperate that I'll go to the Pit o' Voles to read slash for it. Gah.

...Don't we all?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

*shakes fist in general direction of New Zealand* DAMN YOU!

I can't believe it took the phrase "came all over his noble chest" to finally make me close the tab on one particular story. I'm so pathetic.

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

What ARE you getting into?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Kid's show called The Tribe. (Don't give me that look, it's pretty and slashy and there's, like, two stories about my pet pairing and they're both horrible and gah.)

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

I thought so. We gave the old MST3K treatment to a het Tribe fic once.

Part One and Part Two.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, I hate you, now I have to read that.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Also, since you're at least passingly familiar with the show, please explain to me why I've read stories by at least two different "writers" referring to Lex of all people as "girly"?

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

I'm not at all familiar with the show. Everything I know about it I got from that fic and some minor research I did. Familiarity is not required to mock a thing. In fact, it can just get in the way. *grins*

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Aaah! Well, for reference, this would be the "girly" "boy". Yeah. I hate people.

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

Well duh. Long hair = girly! *rolls eyes* Man, waxing him for the cameras must be fun.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I think that's natural, actually, or at least I have yet to find behind the scenes waxing pictures of him. (Although, now I kinda want to. :D)

Also, in re: MST -- It actually makes less sense if you're familiar with the show.

[wibbble]

I used to watch that. I was always very confused.

[babyofthegroup.livejournal.com]

Chad had (has?) an icon from that show, and when it showed up, I was all "???" When he told me it was from The Tribe, I went and looked for, you know, screencaps and such. There's certainly a lot of cute guys on there -- sort of like the Power Rangers franchise in that -- but I didn't dare download any episodes, for fear of running screaming in the other direction.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

This one?

It's actually pretty good, if you like post-apocalyptic stuff. For a kid's show, it can even be pretty dark. The fanfic, on the other hand ...

[babyofthegroup.livejournal.com]

No, [this one] -- he just took the Tribe symbol off his forehead.

The fanfic = eye-sporkingly bad, I'm sure. Much as it must be for Power Rangers. It's a kid's show thing, I suppose.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, Jay! The other one is Tribe too, I think. Aforementioned "girly" Lex and ... some kid I don't know. Probably from before I started watching it.

Yeah. The worst offenders seem to be at least legally adults, though. Gah.

[eljuno.livejournal.com]

OMG!!!!

You can join me and skachica over here in the corner. Seen the episode where Lex is chained to the bed yet?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I think that's one of the ones that aired when I was on vacation with my parents. It's also the one, I suspect, on which the badfic mentioned above was based.

Please tell me I'm not insane for wanting Lex/Ram?

[eljuno.livejournal.com]

If wanting Lex/Ram is insanity, I don't wanna be sane.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

*clings to your leg* OMG THANK YOU!

There's, like, two Lex/Ram stories, and one of them ... I'd link you, but I happen to like you, and just. No. Ram calls Lex girly and "boy" and I want to spork my eyes out BUT I STILL READ ALL ELEVEN CHAPTER!

I need help.

[eljuno.livejournal.com]

...Who the fuck would refer to Lex as 'girly'? And, you know, be standing afterwards?

(*Whistles*, BTW)

And trust me, I know the feeling. I'm poking around slash for a band I've never looked into slash for before and it's like 'Oh God, this is so awful. Oh God, there's another chapter. *Reads*'

HI I AM DRUNK!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Seeeriously! The guy's biceps are, like, the size of my tighs. And especially in comparison to Ram of all people, like, WTF?

(asjdlaksjdlksd WHY IS THIS NOT OUT ON DVD?)

Oh, god, yes. It's sadly typical of rare/small fandoms and pairings. And I always read it anyway. You should see me scrounging ff.net for Lee Jordan fanfic.

[starbrow.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah. I do that too, and have to wash my eyes out with lye afterwards. *grin*

[slippery-fish.livejournal.com]

The éxistence of small fandoms shouldn't be allowed. Once you get into a fandom there should be at least 100 stories of various pairings.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Sometimes I hate being a rareslash fan.

[slippery-fish.livejournal.com]

Sometimes? It's a permament state of being for me...

[commieprincess.livejournal.com]

*cough*

Friended you hi!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Hi! *goes to friend back*

[yonmei.livejournal.com]

When I get that desperate, that's when I start writing it. ;-)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I'm .. close. If only I'd actually seen more than one season of the show.
