Oh my GOD the amount of Big Bangs currently open on my Firefox is overwhelming. VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO FINISHING THEM ALL, considering I have a week off now. :D

RECS TIME!

1. 'Hail Mary' by [livejournal.com profile] rhythmsextion (and beautiful, beautiful art by [livejournal.com profile] dauntdraws)

Adult, Jared/Jensen, Jensen/OMC
~117,000 words

Three years since becoming the first openly gay coach of a Division I collegiate football team, Jensen Ackles is hired by the Dallas Cowboys as their new quarterbacks coach. Though happy to return to his hometown and eager to return to the NFL, Jensen's new position puts him directly in charge of former teammate, Jared Padalecki, with whom Jensen had a somewhat complicated personal relationship ten years before. Jensen also finds his new position comes with a price when the organization makes it clear they intend to use Jensen's sexual orientation to further their own status. When an old high school friend steps back into Jensen's life, the situation becomes increasingly complicated as Jensen struggles to balance his professional life with his private while attempting to control his reawakening feelings for Padalecki.


(sequel to her last year Big Bang Next Man Up, although there are more fics in this verse too)

You guys. This is a scrumptious read from start to finish. It's just SO SO GOOD. The characterization is perfectly rounded, the pace is fantastic, the football descriptions got even this non-American completely enthralled, the sex is SO HOT and the plot is gripping. It's all around a FANTASTIC FIC and GUH. It's better than any movie out there right now, so save yourself the money and time and GLUE YOURSELF TO YOUR COMPUTER WITH THIS FIC. You will NOT be disappointed. *runs around in circles*

2. 'Rule 26' by [livejournal.com profile] fleshflutter (WIP)

Adult, Jared/Jensen

A mash-up of Star Wars, Flash Gordon and a few other sci-fi stalwarts.
In which there is a galaxy-spanning evil empire, a mission to kidnap a henchman of the aforementioned evil empire, and Jared is a resistance fighter on the aforementioned kidnapping mission.


If you're not reading (and rereading and re-rereading) this fic yet, I don't know what rock you're living under (A ROCK IN SPACE YES I KNOW). It is TEETH-GNASHINGLY GOOD. It's a perfect combination of awesome crack and a total mindfuck, in the best Flesh!horror sense. There aren't a lot of people in this fandom (or any other fandom I've been in tbh) who can write horror as well as [livejournal.com profile] fleshflutter can, and combined with her OH SO FUN tendency to write epic J2 schmoopy angst, I'm just sitting on my damn HANDS waiting for new installments. I mean, it's a crack harlequin J2 IN SPACE. What more do you need?

Took a break from reading BBs. Went out, bought chocolate (necessity. Been craving chocolate since Wednesday), came back, watched a full season of "Daria", and now I have links!

1. Amidst calls to sue the Failbender filmmakers, scathing reviews and general waves of schadenfreude, came an interesting theory today about why exactly M. Night Shyamalan just doesn't get how racist and horrible the movie he's made is, using the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Quoth the wise LJer's quote: “When people are incompetent in the strategies they adopt to achieve success and satisfaction, they suffer a dual burden: Not only do they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it. Instead, like Mr. Wheeler,* they are left with the erroneous impression they are doing just fine.” (Justin Kruger and David Dunning, “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties of Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-assessments,” Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1999, vol. 77, no. 6, pp. 1121-1134.)

DING DING DING! I think we have a winner. I also agree with what [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda says, which is essentially wondering why the hell do studios still give budgets to his flops, and why he still insists on calling every movie he makes "M. Night Shyamalan's _______". Well, maybe this time he'll get a wake-up call. The box office has still not spoken yet officially, but it seems the new Twilight atrocity is cramming Failbender's ass, so uh, score for sparkles?

2. Speaking of seriously mistranslated stuff, here's a list of 8 Historic Symbols That Mean The Opposite of What You Think. I particularly enjoy the inverted cross one, mostly because of the following joke: By wearing an upside-down cross, Satanists are unwittingly showing humility and unworthiness before Christ. That makes about as much sense as a neo-Nazi sticking it to the Jews by swearing off pork for life. Take that!

But hey, it's probably funnier in Enochian anyway.

3. Lady Gaga apparently rented the blandest, most mainstream Hollywood mansion she could possibly find. Here's to the Bacchanalian orgies yet to come!

4. Speaking of Lady Gaga, have a look-see at Johnny Weir's closet! Oh, I hear your fail puns a mile away, but I have two words for you: BALENCIAGA. TREE.

5. And oh! who will save Lady Newsweek from her distressing singleness? The old man, the financial shark or the NYT Overlord? Quick, someone fetch the smelling salts.

ETA: Forgot! Here is your moment of Zen:

Not even the last Harry Potter movie could escape the blue-orange curse of movie posters:




And now, back to BBs. :D
