I listened to the first one - or an episode of the first one - because Latin recommended them. They're really good and quite funny. No need to be scared. :D

[le_russe_satan]

Still scared... XD

[sharpiefan]

Donkey.

*hugs*

[le_russe_satan]

I can't help it. I just can't see Copenhagen in that sort of relationship! XDDDD

[sharpiefan]

Oh, well.

You see him as canonically straight, then? *g*

[le_russe_satan]

I see him canonically choosing not to carry on any sort of correspondence with Marengo (through tears and feels) BECAUSE LOYALTY.

[sharpiefan]

But this is a sort of Romeo and Juliet type of relationship - they can rise above the silly human disagreements that they're caught up in because TRUE LOVE! :D

[le_russe_satan]

I never liked Romeo and Juliet story... >.>

[sharpiefan]

I never liked the ending of it. Shakespeare on tragedy: Let's make people waste three hours of their lives by getting to the end of the play and killing off the main characters! Yaysies

Still. Copenhagen/Marengo? I've come across worse, less plausible ideas. *g*

[le_russe_satan]

I dunno, the ending kind of make sense, because teenagers! ;D

True. It's not as bad a pairing as some. Nice to see media jumping on the Napoleonic Slash Bandwagon. XD

[sharpiefan]

Yeah, teenagers.

Or jumping on the Slash Bandwagon full stop! :D

[le_russe_satan]

Oh, it's doing it alright. XD

There is a series on, which I am not actually following but someone from my friends is. It's called "Revolution" (and it's terrible) but here is a quote from a review on tv.com

"Monroe's pleading with Miles to come back smacked of the classic Eric Kripke accidentally homoerotic fan-fic fodder Supernatural was so successful with. I mean, for a second, I really thought the two were about to embrace and shove their tongues down each other's throats during that final confrontation. But if we're at least picking that up on our gaydar, it means it's coming with genuine characterization and emotion" ©

I got the DVD of the Les Mis 10th anniversary concert for Christmas a couple of years ago and Mum and I watched over New Year. And the point where Enjolras is trying to comfort Marius over Eponine's death made us both just tell them to kiss each other already! (And while I'm a slasher, Mum certainly is not!) :D

[le_russe_satan]

Mums can surprise you! My mum is a fan of Stephen Fry and the other day, she was asking me where my copy of "History of Homosexuality" (in English!) is. O_o

And the point where Enjolras is trying to comfort Marius over Eponine's death made us both just tell them to kiss each other already! *g* That's what I thought decades ago when I saw the musical on stage. It's also the only reason why I tear up at Empty Chairs *sniffles*
