Crush another little piece of my childhood, will you.

Well, it's official. According to the US government agency NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), mermaids don't exist.

HMPH! I beg to differ. (Hey, science isn't always pretty.)

Besides, would Animal Planet lie to us? Huh? WOULD THEY?













Fortunately, not all of the US government's agencies are such killjoys.

The animal planet hasn't been a science channel since its inception.

Well, no. (Mostly.) It is fun, though.

What I really want to know is, when is SyFy going to make Mermaidpescivoresaurus? (And will it star Yancy Butler?)

[i-want-2.livejournal.com]

Ugh, god no! I want Merman, like those Bigfoot movies, staring Alessandro Juliani from BattleStar Galactica as the scientist who becomes entangled with the rogue merman that tries to save humanity from his people.

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

Ooh, he's cute!

...the scientist who becomes entangled with the rogue merman...

I do hope that means what it sounds like. Because SLASH.

So, who's playing Merman? Nicholas Brendan?

[i-want-2.livejournal.com]

I was thinking Shawn Roberts (or whatever the guy's name that plays the immortal badguy in Resident Evil movies) or someone tall like Brandon Routh or Sage Brocklebank.

Shawn Roberts

I was thinking "Shawn Ashmore?" until I googled the guy. Amusingly, Shawn Ashmore played Rogue's boyfriend Iceman in X-Men -- which is how I know about him -- while Shawn Roberts played Rogue's earlier ill-fated boyfriend.

Sorry, I prefer Ashmore. (Too bad Patrick Duffy's no longer available ;) )

Brandon Routh could work. I only know Sage Brocklebank (which I keep reading as Brokeback) from Psych, but he does have a sweet innocent vibe there that could work as well.

Google's second suggestion, when I'd typed as far as "sage bro," was sage brown butter sauce. Also, I'm dying now to see Sage Brocklebank and Benedict Cumberbatch on the same marquee. I'm easily amused.

I love Shawn, but I prefer Aaron. Shawn just comes across as less emotionally invested, Aaron is more sensitive.

Shawn Roberts has a nice body and an angular face, that come across as a little otherwordly, which is why I thought of him.

Brandon is good at the clueless, but no so much at depth. Which is what I would want in a character actor for the part. Sage is another one good at the clueless character, but he is more expressive. I think he would have been a better choice for Kyle XY than Matt Dallas, but he was too old for the part.

Word Soup, gobbly gook, and Walla Walla, Washington. I am also easily amused.

Hmmm...otherworldly appearance, cluelessness, depth? Benedict Cumberbatch! (The gangly prettiness doesn't hurt either.) Unfortunately, you won't get any of that from the fic to which I linked you, as you may know already. But you may from Sherlock, if you can catch any.

[i-want-2.livejournal.com]

Benedict with those facial ridges Gaga sported for a bit would fit perfectly.

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

*chokes* Also, LOL!

[i-want-2.livejournal.com]

He would be a great Sea CueCumberbatch.

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

*gasp* You're going to kill me if you keep that up. Also, will you write that, please? I'll have a go at illustrating it.

[i-want-2.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I have to wonder, would Benedict/Cucumber be considered salad fetish or self-cest? "Oh, cucumber, you're the best lover ever. You're not only a great top, but you make a great topping!"

I plan on writing it, the moment I finish my current novel. It's short, but that's explained on the writing journal.

[i-want-2.livejournal.com]

Oy, all I needed was another original fic plot. Well, I'm working on this.

Did you ever the link to my writer's journal?

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

I'm working on this.

OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE With Nicholas Brenden, or slash? (Preferably both.)

I think I had the link to your writer's journal, but put it in the sieve that is standing in for my brain these days and it fell out. Can you provide it again, please?

[i-want-2.livejournal.com]

Slash. The inspiration of Nicholas Brenden, not so much. What they did to him towards the end gives me such depressing depression. I used to love me some Xander, now Brenden is forever tainted.

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

SHHHH SHH SHH I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET (no, really)

[i-want-2.livejournal.com]

You haven't seen seasons 4 or 5?

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

I've seen the Glory arc of s5. (Also random eps and all of s1. I've got 1-4 on DVD, but haven't had a chance to watch them yet.)

[i-want-2.livejournal.com]

Watch the first 3. 4&5, the only good parts are the lesbian episodes cause Willow and Tara are so beautiful. Oh, and the Joyce plotline, holy shit! It's...I'm still crying. Also, you need to see the last 5 episodes of season 6.
