carmen_ljHave just been reminded about a thing in Babylon 5 that bugs me TREMENDOUSLY. Probably out of all proportion but still. In season one, there's The Parliament of Dreams and the Centauri are so freakin proud that they genocided the other sentient race on their planet centuries ago that they're having a rocking party about it where everyone gets pissed and makes jokes about the genocided species. And nobody says a thing about how maybe this is not A Lovely Plan Of Loveliness.
In season five, the Hyach are so utterly ashamed that they genocided the other sentient race on their planet centuries ago that they cannot bear to admit to anyone what they've done, even though their species is dying out because of said genocide. And Franklin is SO JUDGEY at the Hyach's genocide that he's totally not going to lift a finger to help them from dying out until they've confessed to what they've done.
To conclude, it is better to be proud of your evils than ashamed APPARENTLY.
In other news, I sort of accidently got my Mum's birthday wrong. But it was only one day out and the day before, and if you're going to get it wrong then that is like surely the best day to get it confused with. DATES ARE TRICKY THINGS.
I have not written fic for ages. It is very sad-making. I'm sure it used to be a lot easier to make one sentence go after another and make them all into a coherent-ish whole. It is extra annoying that there is nothing obvious for me to blame.
Hot chocolate is totally the best thing in the 'verse and there is sometimes Stormy Weather around to make it taste a zillion times better. NEVER LEAVE ME DELICIOUS HOT CHOCOLATEY DRINKIES.
And I'm v judgey at SFX which I thankfully stopped buying ages ago because in their Top Ten Superheroes EVER (tm) there are no women. Because women are rubbish and not properly heroic and could have to leave ANY MOMENT to pick up the kids from daycare so clearly aren't suited to saving the world OR SOMETHING.
Merlin is promised soon-ish. Yays.

Date: 2009-09-08 05:33 pm (UTC)I haven't written anything except for Who Remix in forever. It's depressing. (I can still RP, but it is not the same.)
Mmm, hot cocoa. People stare at me for drinking it when it's a hundred degrees out but they are clearly the odd ones in that situation.
