darklunaMy mom has such an ingrained, almost pathological need for everyone to be OK and happy that it's really easier for me to pretend I am even when I'm not, which is pretty much any time I'm in Tennessee.
Pointing out to me that I live in Tennessee now would be the equivalent of Sinclair's helpful words quoted in my title.
I realized this morning that the reason she gets pissed when one of us is sad is probably because she thinks it's her job to make sure everyone's OK, and if we're not, then we're not cooperating with her, or we're saying she's doing a bad job, or we're saying it's her fault somehow.
So. Really easier to pretend.
Anyway.
I'm not sure why I don't write more fanfic; I have plenty of ideas. I think that somewhere in the back of my mind I believe that other people, given the same material, are somehow getting more out of it, or possibly that they're just understanding it better. Which is silly, because I'm pretty S-M-R-T, but there you have it. Anyway, a list that will probably continue someday:
Fic someone needs to write for me, so I won't have to
1. Some sort of screwball Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye romantic comedy, possibly with solving mysteries, like Nick & Nora. They even have a dog! Basically, someone needs to write the whole series that goes with the opening to "The Flame Alchemist, The Bachelor Lieutenant, & The Mystery Of Warehouse 13."
2. An Inuyasha plotbunny that's been hopping around me for some time: Sesshoumaru brings Kagura back from wherever she's gone because a. Tenseiga wants him to, and b. she knows when Naraku is weak. But I don't follow the manga anymore, so I don't even know if this works.
3. While I'm not sure I'd actually read Matt Albie/Danny Tripp, someone ought to strike while the iron's hot and write some. It's practically canon. Listen, Mr. Sorkin, acknowledging the HoYay, even to protest it, is just one step closer to embracing it.
(I'm sure people are already writing this ship, but I'm equally sure most of them are doing it badly. If I didn't care whether![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
theohara thought I was an evil, crack-bearing writing dictator or not, I'd try to make her do it. ;-))
I may have to write #1. How awful it would be to have the watch the full run of FMA again! I've already tried to write #2, but it's not really getting anywhere. I'm not touching #3 with a ten-foot pen.
