Would you like to play a game?

Please indulge me. Pick which one registers as true FIRST. No "In Britain" or "In America" because I had to make a special category for the Japan canons, whereas the others fit into the other ones.

I really do not know how to respond to these sorts of things anymore, but I love you for them, as always.

I'm sooo excited that other people have read The Forever King. Or just like that answer best. Or whatever.

This is kind of fascinating to see the results of, honestly. So far, mainstream media is winning by a lot. Then again only seven people have done this thing at the moment.

The idea of sorcery being punishable by death is interesting, but wasn't Merlin supposedly a sorcerer who helped Arthur? I'm not as up on Arthurian legend as I'd like to be. =\

[luchia13.livejournal.com]

Actually, all these answers are based off different versions of it. With the example of the Camelot question,

a. Merlin, 2008 TV show. Gayest gay boys to ever be gay for each other, omfg.
b. The animated movie Camelot.
c. Merlin, ~1998 miniseries.
d. The Forever King, a book everyone should read.

SO YOU'RE PROBABLY AS UP TO SPEED ON THE GENUINE LEGEND AS YOU NEED TO BE. This is more a See What The Flist Watches/Tends To Watch poll than anything else. It's funnnn.

The movie Quest for Camelot? O.O I remember that movie... I remember too there is an episode of Buffy when she;s fighting angel in the movie theater in the mall, and the posters on the wall are for that movie... And yet I don't remember anything from my bio class. *crawls into a hole*

[luchia13.livejournal.com]

I totally have that same problem. I know the completely random release dates for movies I'm not even that excited about (for example: Watchmen comes out March 6th) and the stupid old WWF plots from when I was twelve, and yet if you ask me where I lived or what my phone number was back then, I'm hopeless. Then again I have a wee bit o' head trauma, but STILL.

See, I literally went with "whatever sounds true", so for Japan I was sitting there going "LOL BLEACH but... eh, Death Note is in this moment truthier."

[luchia13.livejournal.com]

I honest to god expect the plot of Death Note to show up in real life some day. Either Death Note or Boondock Saints, because I'm a freak. I also dream that my midnight-racing rocket-powered rollerblade canon will come true in 2020. Oh, brain.

And everywhere, homoeroticism in every bed. Oh yes.

It's been a long couple of days.

MY GOD, PLEASE TELL ME YOU'VE SEEN MERLIN. It's just...omg.

FIRST EPISODE:
Dragon: HEY YOU.
Merlin: Yes?
Dragon: You're gay for Arthur.
Merlin: I am?
Dragon: IT'S YOUR DESTINY, BITCH. GO HAVE SEX.
Merlin: Okay then!
Arthur: *totally doesn't seem to mind*

I have never shipped something from the very first episode before this show. EVER. It's fantabulously gay and has bad CGI and makes me happy.

Also, I really need to do a shitload of homework. Instead, I accidentally read the entirety of Written By The Victors. And the appendices. Why am I such an idiot today, Dommy?

[duct-tape-fairy.livejournal.com]

I have not seen due to my internetlessness on most days although I'm told it's pretty awesome.

Eh, I blew the weekend reading a hilarious british ya series, the picture of dorian gray and "Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex", instead any of the YALSA picks which I should have done since I have a meeting about them next week.

[luchia13.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what a YALSA is. Young Adult Literature Section Area?

And you shoould. I have a feeling it would crack you up and you'd be hooked against your will. They are so. damn. GAY for each other. There are scenes of Merlin lying in bed panting Arthur's name. That is how honest-to-god gay this show is.

EDITED to ask why men fall asleep after sex. I always assumed it's because they're tired.

[duct-tape-fairy.livejournal.com]

YALSA, essentially my people (http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/yalsa.cfm).

Panting his name? Really? *sighs and goes to look for eps*

Apparently it's tired plus different chemicals and hormones and whatnot. Neat book, the subtitle of which is "All the things you'd ask your doctor after the third whiskey sour".

[duct-tape-fairy.livejournal.com]

Did Gwen Cooper just swear vengeance on Rupert Giles and turn into a flock of birds? Is that the level of crack we have here?

[luchia13.livejournal.com]

YES IT IS! :DDDDD

Oh, Merlin. ♥

Also, watch this (http://giandujakiss.livejournal.com/647360.html). Miiild spoilers. I'd say wait until you're done with episode 3, maybe, or just watch it now and not be terribly surprised at some things!

[duct-tape-fairy.livejournal.com]

Well the episodes are taking forever to load soooo....

[luchia13.livejournal.com]

Watch it in the middle, then! It's funny.

I'd give you the Queen Medley vid, but it's not nearly as entertaining when you don't get the stupid, corny jokes. Therefore, here. If I Were Your Girl (http://danegen.livejournal.com/24991.html), which is just awesome semi-spoilery smut. Phallic imagery ftw!

[dragonlet.livejournal.com]

I don't actually know what the biker-gang-knights thing is from but it just sounds too cool.

THE FOREVER KING! (http://www.amazon.com/Forever-King-Trilogy/dp/0812517164) It's awesome, all about Arthur's Second Coming, and has my fourth favorite bad guy ever, which is saying something. A book that turns the round table into a biker gang is awesome all by itself, but the fact it's written well? OH yes. ♥

(hiiiii ♥)

Edited for html fail.

[dragonlet.livejournal.com]

Oh totally. Nyom nyom good writing (I HAVE TOO MANY BOOKS TO READ OH GOD NOT ENOUGH HOURS EVER)

Did not even notice do not worry
