Silky like a Milky Way

[giddygeek]

Internets, I will be watching my first episode of Merlin in a few minutes because of how much this face:





reminds me of this guy:





Immediately sparkly-casting an AU? Me? NEVER. *shifty, yet totally innocent eyes*

although really the thing is WHICH AU? JC and the other dudes of NSYNC at King Arthur's court, or Merlin and a couple knights as a boyband? DECISIONS DECISIONS.

You could get BOTH in by the expedient Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court method where Merlin & knights could be another boy band in this reality.

Um, listen, I've been meaning to talk to you about your tendency to go overboard, but I think this comment makes it clear that an intervention comes TOO LATE.

[bayleaf.livejournal.com]

*sad look* Giddy. Do you really believe that intervention would EVER have been effective here? I mean, come on. Let's be honest.

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

Do you really believe I'd have WANTED that intervention to work? *grins* Your tendency to go overboard is one of my favorite things about you! That and Leo. <3

[bayleaf.livejournal.com]

Leo is endlessly awesome and amazing, I completely agree.

aaaaaaaaaand I just read that as "silky like a Mikey Way"

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

Dude, why not. Tell me Gerard Way would not be THE MOST EARNEST KNIGHT EVER, and that Mikey is not made of magic, and, and. Medieval MCR <3<3<3, that's all I'm saying. *g*

[giglet.livejournal.com]

Not both?

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

Or both! Both could be fun! *grins*

[gblvr.livejournal.com]

Oh wow -- they really do look alike, don't they?

(Does it make me evil that I've cast Joey and Lance as Masters and JC and Chris as slaves in my take on poisontaster's Kept Boy (http://community.livejournal.com/whatwekeep) universe? I needed characters I could slot into Broadway shows (as contemporaries of a John Barrowman who never went to London), but still knew enough about to write....)

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

I was looking for a picture of JC from his more bowl-cut days, but that one with the hand was just too perfect a mirror of the Merlin picture. *grins*

I don't know that universe, but I'll tell you what, I don't think that sounds evil AT ALL. In fact, it sounds fun, and I approve. Is this something you posted or something you're writing now? I've been kind of checked out on fanfic lately, it's still tough to focus enough to read!

[gblvr.livejournal.com]

I'm still writing -- I'm going to use NaNo to catch the bulk of that one, and to write my sga_santa story....

[hurricanemegan.livejournal.com]

Psh. JC and the other dudes of NSYNC at King Arthur's court, of course.

You should so write that. *nods*

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

Heeheee! I somehow thought my friendslist might prefer that option. *grins* I have to admit, it is appealing! I just--knights! How much fun!

[girlneedsagun.livejournal.com]

I knew he reminded me of someone!

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

Right? It took me a couple weeks to figure it out, but once it did I cracked up and instantly my interest in the show SKYROCKETED. Oh, popslash, I could never not love you.

[kgoodbuddy.livejournal.com]

So where does one go to watch this series? It's not showing on BBC America, is it? Online eps at the official website won't play anywhere except the UK.

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

Downloads! Torrents bring the power of win. ;-)

[apetslife.livejournal.com]

HOMG HOMG. Justin and JC and Joey and Chris and Lance at King Arthur's Court would be amaaaaaazing.

If you did it in the right time period, Justin could call Excalibur "crunk!"

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

I have been giggling about this comment for the past half hour.

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

Meeeee toooooo. I'm horribly tempted to write the whole story JUST for that. Oh, Justin. <3<3<3

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

Sparkly-casting makes everything better, I think.

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

This is so true! I'm a big fan of it. Even if you never get around to writing the AU, the sparkly-casting itself is well worth the time and effort. Even things that suck, suck less when NSYNC is in them. *G*

reminds me of this guy:

Hee, that was my first thought when I first saw that photo and I've been waiting for someone to mention it ever since. ^___^

You need to listen to some Heather Dale for inspiration!

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

It took me a couple weeks of seeing it on my friendslist to make it click! Then I spent too much time on Google looking for old, bowl-cut pictures of JC, before I decided this one was better. Mirror images, of a sort! Much fun!

I've been watching the show for weeks now and never got the connection. But, yes!
