So this is kind of out of the blue, which in a way shouldn't be that surprising when you look at my past few entries. I've just been having sort of a British comedy fest, and then this post kind of...happened. It's sort of a primer, except that it assumes you already know who Russell Brand and Simon Amstell are. But apart from that, it's very thorough?

The thing is, sometimes I think that Simon Amstell is my favourite person. And against my better judgement I still have a special place in my heart for Russell Brand, despite all his wrongdoings. And the two of them are good friends and you know that I will ship people based on less than that, so...

This is one of those times where I spend a while compiling a post, only to realise there will be almost no interest at all. *sigh*

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE WEEDS SEASON SIX FINALE. AND HOW THE ENTIRE SEASON WAS SO AMAZING THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. I mean, I'm so glad that I didn't give up on it near the end of season 5, because I very nearly did and that would have been a MISTAKE. I'm pretty sure this season is the best it's ever been, and the finale was just...perfect. (Although I'm really, really glad it's been picked up for another season because HOLY CLIFFHANGER BATMAN.)

Spoilers behind the cut. Also a picspam and quotes! )

I keep thinking, there are other shows that are based on this sort of insanity. Where crazy shit happens, and you never know what to expect. But I think Weeds does it better than any other show. It sort of embraces the bizarre, and the writers seem to know when they've written themselves into a corner and they turn it around and make things fresh again. And all without losing sight of the characters and who they are and what they mean to each other.

Like, just for a comparison—The L Word? The crazy shit that happened in The L Word TOTALLY overshadowed everything else, to the point where nobody seemed to be themselves anymore and so it was difficult to care about the characters' struggles—they'd lost their original personalities and were like blank slates for the writers to do whatever they wanted with. But throughout six seasons of Weeds, that hasn't happened. These people are still the people they've always been, the changes in their characters are completely realistic, and the intense undying love they have for each other gets stronger by the episode (and no less believable). ♥ I love it.

It's also making me ship mother/son for the first time in my life. More on that later UNLESS IT WILL MAKE ME LOSE FRIENDS??

Anyway. That was longer than I meant for it to be.

IN CONCLUSION, FUCK YEAH WEEDS.

I've been meaning to make this post for ages, and as time went on, I gathered more and more stuff to include, so now it's turned into this RIDICULOUSLY GIANT SPAM. And I just can't bear to part with any of it, 'cause I'm pathetic. Basically, I've been obsessed with The Kills for like a really long time now, and it drives me insane having no one to talk to about them!! If you don't know who they are, they're a crazy awesome band made up of Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince. Alison has quickly become one of my, like, top five (maybe) celebrity crushes, and I ship the two of them LIKE BURNING. And you should too.

This post pretty much explains why, with a stupid amount of pictures, quotes, videos, and gifs. It's a primer. It may not be one about a pair of pretty incestuous brothers, but in my honest opinion, Jamie and Alison are just as strange and fascinating.



So this is Alison (nicknamed VV), and Jamie (nicknamed Hotel). They make seriously awesome music, but if I talked about the music as well as the people behind it, this post would be twice as long. The focus here is them, and their bizarre, co-dependent, obsessive, sexually-charged yet apparently platonic relationship.

I don't like to beg, but I pretty much spent all day on this and oh god you guys, please read it? I wanna share this obsession with somebody. Take five hours ten minutes out of your day and check it out?

Please?...Please? Yeah, screw it, I'm begging. )

SKIP TO 5:38 OMG.

Miquita: Would you say that the Kings of Leon are an ambitious band? Do you care about things like world domination and things that bands like the Jonas Brothers care about?
Caleb: Hey, they're staying at our hotel.
Miquita: They're staying at your hotel?
Caleb: Yeah, one of them has my same boots.

!!!

THERE WERE FIC IDEAS ALREADY, THIS IS JUST FUEL TO THE FIRE YOU GUYS.

Then a bit later Caleb says that bands like the Jonas Brothers are really only aiming to make number 1 albums, whereas Kings of Leon just want to make music that they're proud of. And at the very end, they're asked which band they'd compare themselves to, and Nathan says, totally deadpan "The Jonas Brothers. For sure."



THIS WAS IN MID-SEPTEMBER LAST YEAR BTW. When the JoBros were promoting Camp Rock in the UK I think?

Hello. :) It's your friendly neighbourhood incestuous-RPF enthusiast, here, bringing yet another post about brothers who should be screwing if they aren't already, and trying to convince you to ship them.

Okay but let me preface this by saying: Kings of Leon are a really recent obsession for me. I've only properly been listening to them for the past week or so, and it was only yesterday that I like, found out their names and stuff. SO this might be kind of like that Tokio Hotel spam post I made, where I was all I DON'T FIND BILL ATTRACTIVE! and I DON'T LIKE THEIR MUSIC! and I HAVEN'T READ ANY FIC YET! And then all of that changed within about a day.

So basically, things might change, I will probably discover more about these guys, this isn't like, an all-inclusive introduction to the band or anything.

This is Kings of Leon. Left to right, that's Matthew, Caleb, Nathan and Jared. Nathan, Caleb and Jared are all brothers (that's in age order from eldest to youngest), and Matthew is their cousin.

Okay, so I pretty much talk about all of my obsessions here, but there's one thing that I realised recently that I haven't shared with you. Which is tragic, really. I think I've mentioned them once or twice in passing, but I haven't done a giant picspammy post to get everybody interested, and that's just wrong, so here we go.

These guys are Luke and Harry Treadaway:

They're identical twin actors, 24 and from Devon, and they're really just...amazing. Not only are they gorgeous, not only do they bring the twincest (holding hands against a rainbow background? Really?) but they're just awesomely talented. I saw them in a play the other day and it kind of made me realise JUST how much I love them. Their acting was flawless, and they're just so uninhibited—they don't stay in their comfort zone and they don't want you to either. Their first Real Acting Job was in the film Brothers of the Head, where they played conjoined twins, and after that they seemed to make it their aim to do the WEIRDEST SCRIPTS THEY WERE OFFERED.

The play I saw is probably the weirdest, and it's also the most recent, so I'll leave that til last. We'll start with Brothers of the Head.

NSFW. Behind the cut = twincest, crossdressing, nudity, people smeared with food...I could go on. Also this may well KILL your computer, there are like a zillion pictures. )

It's after midnight now, but oh well.

Happy for today. )

That's kind of a lame one, I had a really boring day.

I was going to say 'watching There Will Be Blood' but...it didn't exactly make me HAPPY, it was just really amazing. The acting was just...absolutely incredible. And now I have this serious desire for some slash. :/ Oh dear.

Off to scour the internets for some. :D
