real shipper problems + REAL DELIGHT
Jan. 22nd, 2013 06:33 pmMy dashboard currently has its fair share of the movie Les Misérables going around, and it is giving me such torn feelings. I ship Graintaire/Enjolras, because come on, it's so easy to, but I also loathe both characters. They are godawful annoying! (in the book. I haven't seen the movie. Yet?)
Now whenever they come up on my dash - e.g. like this (HA) (FACTS!), or like this (not fair) - I am torn between that 'yes, good, carry on' feeling of seeing a favourite pairing done right, and the 'argh shut up' that is my instinctive reaction to Graintaire or Enjolras. And I kind of want fic. Desiring the characters to shut up and go away while showing how they are 100% married would make for a difficult reading experience, and yet...!
In real and less ridiculous news, I heard on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fail_fandomanon that there is going to be Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell TV series. This link makes it look likely, and Wikipedia mentions it too. it will take forever before it's available on DVD here but when that time comes I'll likely engage it in holy matrimony, try and stop me. I keep thinking of characters and scenes - gentleman with the thistledown hair! Stephen Black! That scene where Childermass sees the road in the wilderness. the tower of night, Lost Hope, the King's Roads - and then glee. It seems like something that could work really well onscreen - a lot of relatively drab scenery and outfits, and then touches of magic sneaking in... GLEE, I TELL YOU.
