Because I am tired of things being hard:

[kaberett]

Korra starts on the 13th! That's less than two weeks away! Elementary starts on the 26th! By which time I will hopefully have moved house, my very word!

Blanket fort! Squee!! Entirely too many exclamation marks!!!

What are you excited about!

(Please no spoilers. Anything not in the Korra 2 trailer counts as a spoiler for me. But I don't really care about anything except those two shows. Well, that's a lie, I do care about some things, but not in ways that are likely to be an issue for spoilers in comments.)

I am excited to go back to (technically academic, totally unpaid, but on a mostly-regular schedule) work on Wednesday! And I am excited about my book I am reading; needing to slow down & take a couple days to read something Completely Different is not a sign that I am bored of it like I was afraid it might be. (hooray!) And I am excited to remove this chipping nail polish and mess around with something totally new. (Am considering teal & purple stripes. Like, purple with a teal stripe down the middle. Only what to do with my thumbs? They are oddly shaped and often do not support the continuation of a pattern. Perhaps teal with purple dots. I will see. I will ask a friend who can see progress as it happens & I will experiment & I will see. Also I need to cut & touch up my toenails, but those actually tend to stay boring because otherwise it alarms me. as do unpainted toenails. idk.)

yessss ♥ nails sound V EXCITE (I have unfortunately come to the conclusion that wheelchair use with my preferred level of gloves is incompatible w/ nails during the summer, but should be fine over winter), and also YES BOOKS.

Series 2 of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes has started this week on CITV. And I have the electric monk programmed to save it for me.

MOAR Carol Danvers makes me happy.

[kaberett]

Oooh, nice! I should look into this show, then? :D

[rmc28]

Weeelll. Ok, so I fell into deep irrational fanlove with Marvel's Avengers Assemble last summer, and it is basically a bunch of white men plus Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L Jackson, with some highly problematic worldviews embodied especially Tony Stark.

Earth's Mightiest Heroes is another, recently-made, version of Avengers with slightly better diversity (*), that is also unashamedly brightly-coloured-and-shiny cartoon. And I love it about as much as I do the film franchise, and it has much more team-interaction character-buildy stuff, and the additional characters that the film didn't have time for. Though in this version Tony Stark leads the team and he is terrible at it, plus his poor communication skills lead directly to one villain being created.

thingswithwings made a fan video which I think gives the feel of it very well: http://thingswithwings.dreamwidth.org/190138.html Also they have a mega enormous post of love for the show with extensive chat transcript of slashery and video links: http://thingswithwings.dreamwidth.org/#entry-196811

As for Carol Danvers, she appears in basically one episode in the first series of EMH, which I have on DVD, and that takes us to about 35 seconds into this fan video about her in EMH, and everything else comes from episodes in series 2, which I haven't seen. So I am SUPER EXCITED to fill in the gaps. (Also I've been recommended the most recent comics series about her, to help feed my fangirling.)


(*) in detail: Maria Hill is non-white unlike the film; Ant-Man/Hank thingy is an especially dull extra white male scientist; Janet van Dyne is a probably-white woman (some fanfic suggests in some canon she is Asian or mixed race) who comes from money, designs fashion, oh and saves the world regularly; Carol Danvers is a white woman in the military; T'Challa is a black man, king of the apparently uncolonised African country of Wakanda, which has better tech than Stark. We should have more Janet and Carol, and definitely more T'Challa (only while I think the politics of Wakanda would be fucking amazing to explore properly, I fear US movie studio ability to do so)

BLANKET FORT!!!!!!! :yearns:
