Why did the chicken cross the road?
Battlestar Galactica: The chicken has crossed the road before, and the chicken will cross the road again.
Supernatural: The chicken was searching for the demon that killed its father. Sadly, being a hen, it was hit by an Impala before it reached the other side.
Firefly: Tell ‘em the chicken ain’t coming back. (Was that my tail? Did my gorram tail just fall off?)
Bones: In the absence of sufficient forensic evidence, it’s unscientific to speculate as to the chicken’s motivations. (Besides, I hate psychology.)

25- Me: ... Well I got it from the fandom, okay?
- My Sister: And if the fandom jumped off a bridge? Would you jump too?
- Me: Sarah, you don't understand. If the fandom jumped off a bridge, it's because there's a ship underneath.
- The Closer fan: I love The Closer. I ship Brenda and Sharon!
- another The Closer fan: I don't ship Brenda and Sharon but it's cool that you do! I ship Brenda and Fritz!!!
- another The Closer fan: I ship Brenda and Fritz and I ship Brenda and Sharon!
- another The Closer fan: I actually ship Brenda and Andy, but I like all the relationships on the show! :)
- weatherthestormtogether: Omg. Seriously? You are not real fans of The Closer. You are all immature teenagers that are wackos who are imagining all of these ships except for Brenda and Fritz (who are the most perfect T.V. couple ever) so you all need to realize that. Even Jon Tenney ships Brenda and Fritz. I am sick of all of you. I am going to block all you nutcases.

Okay, time for a little rant. I normally don’t do these kinds of posts but there’s something that has been bothering me for the past weeks.
Feel free to skip.
have you ever loved a fictional character so much that whenever you see a picture of them your heart tingles and your vocal cords produce this awkward screeching noise that sounds a bit like a dying cat
Yes !!!!
Oh you mean Laura roslin and bill adama?
THIS!

Am I the only one who actually ships people on A&E’s Hoarders?
No, I don’t mean the hoarders but the therapists and the organizers. I ship like four pairings on that show.
(teeny-tiny trigger warning, i guess?)
take away the “do something awful to brenda” part and this would be a pretty decent theory. can i just ask, what is with this fandom and doing awful things to its female characters? for one of my sharon/andy fics i had a reviewer who kept leaving me messages asking if sharon was going to get raped. no, reviewer, i really don’t feel that is necessary to tell my story/make sharon a strong character. i also don’t think the fics that were re-writes of the season one ep “fantasy date” were necessary. can we just have strong female characters who don’t have to be attacked in order to prove their strength? physical or sexual violence is not the only way to create drama or further a character, and this fandom’s fixation on it weirds me out a little. but any way. now back to our regularly scheduled fangirling.
I can’t speak for anyone one else in the Closer fandom, but I’m simply a sucker for h/c and I enjoy watching (especially strong) characters go trough extreme situations. Both male and female characters, both on this show and on others.
I thought Croelick made a great villain; smart, sick, twisted, and creepy as hell. And I really liked the interactions between him and Brenda. That’s why I’d like to see him again on the show. As for the ‘something awful’… again, I simply like watching a character go through some tough shit. Particularly when you have an actor, who does the extremes as well as Kyra does.
I certainly agree that violence, especially sexual violence, is very, very often used as a cheap plot point or sympathy-maker on telly and, even more so, in bad!fic fanfic. And it’s often done soooo badly that I end up feeling rather stabby towards the writers. However, in the fandoms I was involved in (at least to the point of reading a ton of fic) so far, it didn’t appear to be something that was predominantly done with female characters.
