White Collar, Sherlock Holmes and stuff

[ileliberte]

White Collar is made of cotton candy, glitter, little puppies and kittens and those cute little umbrellas people put in drinks. Every time I think it can't get more adorable, it does. Of course, there are times when you really should not put too much thought into the legalities/procedures of the way they actually solve their cases... but that apart ♥ I even resorted to getting an icon I did not make, for the first time. Lookit how cute they are! (Status of WC picture: Going slowly, but hopefully as cutely as it is in my head)

I enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes movie a lot (although a bit less of action!Holmes wouldn't have hurt), and have been reading a lot of Holmes fic, but even though the costumes and settings are absolutely fantastic and very tempting fanart-wise, RDJ as Holmes is throwing off the visual of Holmes that I always had (although Jude Law managed to work out perfectly as Watson) and so the urge for fanart is not really there. But as Miss P suggested, Teyla in Victorian clothing doing an Irene Adler is definitely an avenue of thought I could pursue... Also, it's maybe kind of lame, but I geeked out over the end credits with almost as much enthusiasm as I showed for the actual movie itself. The artwork and transitions were so cool!

In conclusion, the demonic sheep video is the best thing ever.

ETA: Does anyone know what flangst means? Enquiring minds want to know.

Flangst might be fluffy angst? But don't quote me on that. It's just the first deconstruction of the word I thought of.

Huh, that could definitely be it, thanks! Also, I hate lame portmanteaus :(

Yes, flangst standst for fluff+angst, which is the ideal opportunity to pimp fanlore, which allows you to look up weird fannish terms:

Oh, nice! Thanks for the link, I'll make sure to check there the next time fandom confounds me with its weird obsession for portmanteaus :D

Hahahaha. I totally thought 'flangst' was going to turn out to be an SGA-specific portmanteau of Flanigan + angst, and refer to like, Sheppard-esque disaffected man-pain or something.

First thing I thought of too!

Heh, pentapus had the same idea, but I had the vague suspicion I'd seen it used for other fandoms too. Although it could have been that the Flan was just that famous XD

I love White Collar! Oh my, they aren't even trying to hide the Hoyay! are they? I think it's the best buddy show in a very long while. Are there good (slash) fic lists/sites for that show, do you know?

3_way_collar and whitecollarfic are the two comms I follow. I'm not really into Peter/Neal without Elizabeth so I'm not sure what their comm is called (it might have been something with their last names though) if that's a little more your thing :) And of course, I follow recs from random places, there's been some very entertaining fic. And no, they really don't hide any of the hoyay :D The show is totally my happy place.

Thanks -- those sound very promising. Yeah, I love Elizabeth as well as the boys. :)
