Happy sigh.
Just rewatched "Fortune" which I enjoyed MUCH more this time around simply because I knew that my couple was going to end up happy and together married.
I do wish there had been more of the lemur, LOL.
( Cut for incoherent rambling. )
Also? Note the icon. HE GAVE HER A WHITE QUEEN PAWN OVER A YEAR AGO AND NOW SHE IS CHLOE QUEEN, FORMER WHITE QUEEN OF CHECKMATE.
/end giddy hyperness...for now :D

Feb. 25th, 2011 09:24 pmHaha. I love you guys. Immediately after Smallville, my flist EXPLODED.
Best. Happy. Ending. EVER.
Best. Happy. Ending. EVER.
And I'm cutting it for those of you on my flist who A) Don't want to know what's going on B) Don't care what's going on C) Don't want to talk about it anymore.
( Let's clear some shit up. )
And for the record, I don't ship Chlark anymore. I haven't since season six. And I like Erica Durance. And Smallville's Lois Lane.
So. Feel free to be shocked, dismayed and defriend me if that's really all you're here for.

Can I just say that...that was by far, probably the single best episode of Smallville I've ever seen? And I have quite a few favorites, mind you.
Gah.
I may have coherent thoughts later.
...maybe.
For now?
SQUEE!

K-SIte, Bias, Chlollie, and the truth!
Sep. 7th, 2010 09:33 pmSo for those of you who aren't already aware of this (and I suspect, honestly, there really aren't THAT many), the truth about Kryptonsite's administrator, Craig, finally came out today in a public way.
You all remember Craig, right? The guy who swears up one side and down the other how he's not
biased against any group of fans or any ship, etc, etc.?
Yep, as suspected by many, and already known by most? Big fat liar.
It all started on Brian and Kelly's facebook page. A Chlollie fan made a post about Clois and Chlollie and, out of the blue, Craig posted that he didn't see why we had a problem with Dollie.
(Um, because we're Chlollie fans and don't care about Dollie? Because Smallville is not based on Green Arrow comics? Because even in the comics Dollie sucks? Heh, apparently skills of deduction aren't really a strong suit of his either. Please forgive my snark here, just had to state the obvious.)
A couple of people tried to explain, and then he got defensive. See the whole facebook conversation here:

At which point![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vval got this facebook direct message from Craig:
Very mature response on his part considering how "unbiased" and "professional" he's supposed to be. And then he tweets this with the Chlollie hashtag so he will get lots of attention and people can inquire as to why he's tweeting that and hear about how "victimized" he was. Poor baby. Someone call the waaambulance.
Sorry, but my sympathy level for people who are in positions of "power" who use that power to make other people feel like their opinions and thoughts don't account for anything is pretty much zilch. (And I use the term "power" loosely here because this is just thankfully a fandom and his "power" amounts to talking to the writers of the show on occasion or whatever, but hey, guess what? I have twitter and I can do that too, and sometimes they even respond back! Gasp! I think Craig is bitter that his "power" has been diminished now that anyone can interact with the writers on facebook and twitter and not everything has to be done through his biased site anymore and he has to try and establish that he and said site are still relevant. Just my personal hypothesis.)
So yes, if you are a Chlollie fan who has been banned from K-Site it's because you ARE A CHLOLLIE FAN. It's not because you're breaking the rules--because people do that ALL the time. Strangely it's the Chlollie fans who've been getting banned rather than fans of other ships who break the same rules. So, Craig, in short, don't try pissing on my leg and telling me it's rain, because we're onto you. Thanks for confirming it. :)
Furthermore, I don't care if you ship Chlollie. I don't care WHO you ship, but when you're in a position like Craig's where you are benefitting from the fans who visit your site, and you're insulting those same fans--you're making an ass out of yourself and I will be happy to be the one to step up, point out your idiocy, your hypocrisy, your general jack-assness and do it in a very public way.
So. Feel free to link back to this all over the place. I've disabled anonymous posting because if sometone doesn't have the guts to say something using their actual identity, then frankly, they don't need to be talking to me anyway.
Sidenote: Sorry for not cutting the image on the post. I think everyone NEEDS to see what Craig's REALLY like.

I'm kind of astounded. Really.
Aug. 18th, 2010 12:35 pmThe Smallville fandom, has, at many points in time, astonished me with its stupidity, drama and hatefulness.
And I'm ashamed to say that at times I myself participated in some of it.
You know, I may not like Clark, and I may have made a video expressing WHY I don't like him, but you know what I haven't done?
Belligerantly insulting and psycho-analyzed an entire group of fans who think differently from me WHILE PRETENDING TO BE THEIR FRIEND. (I try not to generalize any group of fans because frankly, it's dumb, especially when I don't even know them/have never talked to them). Because friends do not call friends "fucking MORON" or "fucking DUMB" or presume to tell them why they "really" like something.
( Cut here for those of you who don't wish to read my angry rant. )
PS: If you want to hate on me for things I like or don't like in a freaking fandom? Fine. PLEASE defriend me immediately because you aren't worth my time anyway.

One.
This is going to piss people off, particularly if you don't like Chloe Sullivan.
Well, guess what? It's my live journal and I'm giving you warning. I'm a Chloe fan. A big one. And if you don't like it?
Tough shit.
This will also contain some Clark-bashing because I'm NOT a Clark fan anymore. At all. The reasons why will be a whole separate meta one day, undoubtedly, but this one's more based on Chloe and why she's definitively NOT a villain and why she's NOT a self-centered bitch as many have been calling her. *Eye roll*
( Let's start with season 8. )
And for FYI, I've disabled anonymous comments. Because if you're going to bash me and my opinions, I'm going to at least force you to do it as yourself and not as some chickenshit anonymous asshole. :D

May. 14th, 2010 08:23 pmI guess I don't get it.
I don't see why everyone is freaking out over the whole AM thing when as far as I know, minus a blog by someone who really has no knowledge of the contract status, there hasn't been any news over next year.
I'll be avoiding twitter and skipping things related for awhile. Just not interested right now.
I'm feeling very disconnected from everything in general and this is just one more thing on the list.
That being said..
( Spoilers for tonight's Smallville finale. )

I don't even know when.

Apr. 20th, 2010 09:02 pmYou can be pissed and rant and rave about how much worse Oliver and Chloe are than Clark, and that's your opinion. You're entitled to that. I'm entitled to mine, as well.
No apologies.
ETA: I've disabled comments on the vid. I'm not going to listen to people attempt to justify Clark being abusive. But thank you to anyone around here who left respectful polite responses. <3
