Posting a link to my blog discussing Joss Whedon, Feminism and Astonishing X-Men

salinea was interested in reading about it and I thought maybe a few of you might be interested as well.

i tried to do the class justice, i hope i succeeded at least in part.

the discussions were really lively, and the only thing about it that i was disappointed about was that it was too damned short :D

Kitty is still pissed about Emma locking people in cages. Psh, thats Tuesday to Misstrss Frost.

[shadowpsykie]

i;m pretty sure most of the x-men are kinda into that :D at least beast and wolvie :D

[auggie18]

In all fairness, they were electric torture cages. And she had some one on one psychic torture time with Storm, before Storm's girlfriend flew in and blew the place up.

And thus were opened the floodgates for a ton of angrysex lemon fanfics.

Hell, I've WRITTEN kinky Emma/Kitty stuff. Tho admittedly based on a different bit.

[salinea]

*cough* where? :)

[shadowpsykie]

I'm more into Scott/Logan stuff :D

[salinea]

I don't quite see how liking one prevents from liking the other.

[shanejayell]

FF.net. It's based on a bit in the New Mutants where Emma had kidnapped Kitty....

[salinea]

thank you :) that was disturbingly hot!

[lieut_kettch]

I've read some hot Emma/Angelica fic which references the time when Emma killed Angelica's horse back when she was a Hellion.

Do people still say 'lemon'?

[shanejayell]

Apparently so. *lol* I still run into authors mentioning their stories are lemon or similar comments.

[schmevil]

Lol, is 'lime' still a thing too? And oh, does anime fandom still do the pairing order=top/bottom thing?

[shanejayell]

Yup, lime or 'citrus' is how one author put it. *lol*

I'm more into yuri fandom, and they don't seem to do that as much.

[salinea]

And oh, does anime fandom still do the pairing order=top/bottom thing?
for the most part.

That's enough out of you, young whippersnapper! You and and your fancy schmancy fanfic blogs and livejournals on your high speed conmections! In my day, we got our slashfic through text-based FTP, UseNet and IRC channels over 12.2 kbps dial up modems and we liked it!

I'd give you a right thrashing if my arthritis wasn't acting up so bad. Now git off my lawn!

Rassumfrassum young people these days...

[shadowpsykie]

O_O

12.2? Bah, you BABY, I grew up with downloading files via Xmodem on a 1200 baud (1.2kbps, and that's not a typo) modem from a bulletin board, back when the internet was still called ARPAnet!

...god I'm old.

Completely unrelated to anything...

The white lipstick does not suit Emma when she's drawn in this style...

[shadowpsykie]

No I agree, it's the only thing that feels off...

[shanejayell]

Good essay. The pics on your page weren't loading, tho that may be my computer.

[lakrids404]
