aunt_zeldaLast night, whilst watching 'Once More With Feeling' with my father (since Torchwood ended we haven't seen each other as regularly) he got a phone call. Apparently two days ago he had a 'sort of date' and now he's planned another 'sort of date!' *does the Snoopy Dance*
I'm so insanely happy for him. I hope he and this guy really hit it off and hook up seriously ... my dad hasn't dated in ages, and he's always so happy when he had a partner.
When I was little I grew up going back and forth between my mom and dad's houses. Mom had boyfriends, and dad had boyfriends, and since they'd divorsed when I was like two I didn't find that strange at all. That was just how things went in life. This is why I have such trouble with writing femmeslash, because lesbians were a totally strange concept that came much, much later in my life.
I was such a confuzzled child ... I used to wonder why Disney movies didn't have a prince saving a prince, did you know that? Hee hee ...
Anyhoodle, more reports to follow! *exits, still doing the Snoopy Dance*

Date: 2008-05-11 05:37 pm (UTC)*huggles you* I'm sorry people can be such jerks, especially family, who are supposed to accept you no matter who you are.
My family isn't all that fantastic either. I'm cool with my dad, my mom is cool with my dad, my step-dad's cool with my dad, my gay cousins are cool with my dad, but nobody else is. I don't see much of my dad's family, because they don't really accept him. It's awful. My cousins' mom blames them for all her troubles (thank god she's on medication now, but she's still crazy.) My 103-and-a-half-year-old relative was cool with my gay cousin showing up at Christmas for a few hours with his boyfriend, but my grandmother wasn't. Strange, huh?
Princes should always save princes. Or farm boys.
Indeed! And they should adopt all those orphans that frequent fariy tales!

Date: 2008-05-11 07:08 pm (UTC)Oh, crazy relatives. I know how that feels. Believe me, I know. People are wierd.
Dood, yes, orphan adopting.
no subject
Date: 2008-05-12 12:14 am (UTC)*sigh* She drove through the driveway of my 103-year-old relation and gave her the finger until they filed a restraining order. Then she would call the house over and over again. It was not a pleasant span of months.
Dood, yes, orphan adopting.
Someone's gotta take care of all those convinient orphans in fairy tales! Let them be raised by gays! They'll make excellent parents because they'll be so overjoyed at finally being able to adopt like human beings!

I semi-slashed Remus and Sirius in my head when I first read the 5th book. Then I got hooked on Heroes. Then somehow I stumbled on slash. And lo, aunt_zelda was born!

Date: 2008-05-12 06:29 pm (UTC)Oh yes, very damaged indeed. They totally warped my brain and made me like wimmins and have congress with the Beast and such like things. *nodnod* Yes indeed. It did not teach me tolerance of other HUMANS at all! Nope, nope nope! It made me a heathen and an anarchist and enforce laws in peoples' bedrooms and stuff!
Ah, if only Disney movies had had princes saving princes... *wistful sigh*
*sighs* Someday ...
Have you read my Beach fic yet? Apparently it's very sweet ...

Date: 2008-05-12 06:47 pm (UTC)I did read "Beach!" But I failed to comment. *weeps for the shame* The truth is that I didn't know what to say. Especially when I hit this bit: The Doctor was determinedly looking into the distance. His voice was barely audible when he said “But … but when I said no you just … brushed me off. Said there were a million boys out there better than me … you said you’d never give me a second thought, that I was just a … just a silly school crush. You said it was fun but you were ready to grow up.”
The Master seized the Doctor by the shoulders and forced him to face him. “And you believed that? After all these years, after all the times we’ve run into each other, you believed that?!”
The Doctor nodded.
The Master stared at him. “You idiot.”
This is where I collapsed and wibbled and wanted to shove them into a bed as quickly as possible. XD

Date: 2008-05-12 09:52 pm (UTC)*sporfles* Yeah ... next thing you know pigs would fly!
It's ok that you didn't comment! I just miss your wicked long comments of awesomeness ...

no subject
Date: 2008-05-16 04:28 pm (UTC)BUT! When Joss Whedon said that Spike and Angelus have smexy smex back in the day! I had a fangasm right then and there! lol XD Spike/Angelus FTW! XDDDDDD
*prays on with you* Hopefully it goes well! We all deserve to be happy!
no subject
Date: 2008-05-16 08:36 pm (UTC)Yes, Spike/Angelus HAPPENED ... but according to Spike it was "Angel and I have never been 'intimate' ... except for that one time ..." so it was a one-time deal. *slump* Damnnit ... they could pick it up again post-Angel-S5, though! *prays*
*prays on with you* Hopefully it goes well! We all deserve to be happy!
*sends good vibes dad's way*

His date was great! Yahoo!
no subject
Date: 2008-05-24 02:49 pm (UTC)Yeah, and Dumbledore is gay so like we have slash canon for HP too! GG/DD FTW! XDD
Great! I'm glad it went good for him!! ^_^
no subject
Date: 2008-05-25 03:24 am (UTC)*nodnod* Jane Espenson believed they had a sexual history. I've suspected it from the start, I mean, when Giles first meets Ethan onscreen he switches from mild-librarian-man to Ripper and ... *grins slowly* I call it FANTASTIC. Scary, but FANTASTIC and SLASHY AS HELL. *dances about* I refuse to believe that Ethan dies in a government facility in the comic books, I REFUSE to believe that! (Even if he IS shot and killed, I believe Giles resurrected him. That is something he would do for Ethan.)
Yeah, and Dumbledore is gay so like we have slash canon for HP too! GG/DD FTW! XDD
*beams* I was so very happy when I heard about that ... personally I wish she'd outed Remus/Sirius too but one can't have everything I suppose ...
Great! I'm glad it went good for him!! ^_^
Actually, there's been some issues, what with the guy having just recently ended a relationship, so I'm hoping my dad's met someone new at the Libertarian convention.
no subject
Date: 2008-05-26 12:29 am (UTC)Yeah, but as canon as Remus/Sirius is she almost wouldn't HAVE to out them, lol.
As long as your dad is happy. ^_^
no subject
Date: 2008-05-26 01:52 am (UTC)He would do all manner of ridiculous things and sacrifice lots of stuff and brave terrors to get his boyfriend back!
Yeah, but as canon as Remus/Sirius is she almost wouldn't HAVE to out them, lol.
I suppose so ... joint X-Mas present and all ... I swear, 'embraced Black like a brother' was a typo, and it should have been 'lover' but she didn't get to fix it. *stamps foot* Goddamnit, it was so!
no subject
Date: 2008-05-26 04:18 am (UTC)Yeah, well she didn't want to offend some people, it's probably why she didn't want to say it...yeah...like how she didn't openly portray Dumbledore as gay in the books, but hell, she gave us slashers some slash as CANON.
no subject
Date: 2008-05-26 01:30 pm (UTC)Especially where angry sexy Englishmen are involved!

Screw offending peoples! You don't need their filthy, homophobic moneys, JKR! They're not buying your books anyways because they think they're Satanic, despite the CELEBRATIONS OF EASTER IN THE BOOKS. *shakes head*
no subject
Date: 2008-05-30 05:49 pm (UTC)Yeah, I know. But many christian-y people are idiots who don't think for themselves and refuse to allow people to THINK FOR THEMSELVES and believe whatever they want to. >_>
no subject
Date: 2008-05-30 10:09 pm (UTC)*nodnod* When in doubt, add a sexy Englishman.
Yeah, I know. But many christian-y people are idiots who don't think for themselves and refuse to allow people to THINK FOR THEMSELVES and believe whatever they want to. >_>
*sigh* SOME are ok, but some are just ... ridiculous and downright SCARY.

That man's cheekbones are a gift from god ... *lurves James Marsters* I hope he becomes a regular on Torchwood ... him and Martha, seeing as Owen and Tosh are gone ...
no subject
Date: 2008-06-11 04:29 pm (UTC)Yes! You blove his cheekbones too! I've always bloved them. =D I hope he becomes a regular too. He needs a good role as well, I mean David Boreanez got another show after Angel ended so why can't James?

Yeah, I fell in love with him the moment he stepped out of his car in S2 ...
*shrugs* David B is ok, very funny, but apparently after Angel he didn't do so hot ... James M definately needs to be a semi-regular, or *prays* real regular on TW.
no subject
Date: 2008-06-12 03:47 pm (UTC)Yeah, "School Hard" was the first ep James appeared in and I liked him, he made me watch BTVS again; I had stopped watching in mid 1st season then he showed up and I re-watched the first season and then watched from then on.
Yeah, well David B has Bones now and it's a cool show. I hope James gets to be a regular on Torchwood as well. He's been on Smallville a few times, he plays Braniac well. =D
no subject
Date: 2008-06-12 10:58 pm (UTC)I've heard that James was on Smallville ... is that show any good?
