Ugly Betty and 'Cesty fandom!

[fembuck]

First, in celebration of my newest inappropriate pairing, Meadecest *dreamy sigh*, I bring you ... A Multi-fandom Incest Friending Meme. Bluthcest, Maedecest, wincest, twincest, blackcest, baudecest ... and so much more!

Ugly Betty - 1x14 - Brother and Sisters

I'm totally on the Ugly Betty love train once more, and I promise never to get off of it again. Love, love, love.

Walter: I have a coupon for the baked potato bar!
Daniel: Sorry...I had a potato for breakfast.

Danny: "She used to like taking us to clothes museum."
Alexis: "Those were stores, you dumbass."
and then later in the episode ...
Danny: "C'mon mum, if you get out of there, we can go to the clothing museum."
Alexis: "Seriously, you're such an idiot."

Claire: What's that noise? I didn't pass out in a Mexican whore house again did I?

Justin: "SNAP!"

Bully's mom: "You're a mother. Why don't you try looking like one?"
Hilda: "Well, you're a woman. Why don't you try looking like one?"

(Evelyn is watching her telenovela)
Evelyn: "So she used to be a stripper but now she's pregnant with the butcher's baby, but he's really her second cousin!"
Wilhelmina: "A story as old as time."

SOAWSOME!

Judith Light is made of awesome, pretty much everything involving Claire Meade last night was pure brilliance. In fact, basically everything Meade on this show is love. I totally dug all of the Daniel/Alexis scenes, from her slapping him in the face with his own hand and throwing her shoe at him, to them attacking each other with bumper cars, to Alexis accusing Daniel of staring at her chest. Awesome. Rebecca Romijn rocks my socks! I've always kind of liked her, but as Alexis Meade she's made me fall in love with her. *dreamy sigh* I hope they don't get rid of Alexis at the end of the season, I don't know how I'd go on without her.

Also, Vanessa Williams continues to rock as Wilhemina, and I continue to adore Marc and Amanda though there wasn't enough Amanada this episode. Also, Hilda = bestest mom ever (well, Claire's easy acceptance of Alexis was really awesome as well, but because Hilda isn't a drunk and a murderer she wins).

Plus, pretty Cesar from "Alias" was on it, which reminded me of Mia Maestro as Nadia, which made me smile.

I think I'll be hitting a "clothes museum" this weekend.

More meme pimping

And again, because it cannot be pimped enough, A Multi-fandom Incest Friending Meme. All this: Bluthcest, spycest, Maedecest, Juliicest, wincest, twincest, blackcest, fluxcest, baudecest ... and more! We're not alone!

Juliicest and Meadecest! *pumps fist*

Juliicest and Meadecest! *pumps fist*

I know! So inappropriately awesome :D They are love. Daniel/Alexis interaction is my new favoritest part of Ugly Betty (I'm convinced that everything they do is sexual tension, and consider it a shout out that Alexis accused Daniel of staring at her chest last episode). And I cannot wait until SexyOctavian makes it back to Rome so that we can have somemore inappropriate Juliicest happening.

Also, in case you missed it as a fellow Meadecester ...Fic: Yield (Daniel/Alexis) (http://fembuck.livejournal.com/87738.html)

I know of aphrodite_mine's kick-ass Octavian/Octavia fic, but do you know of any other Juliicest fic, or Meadecest for that matter?

[thelana.livejournal.com]

I'm totally biting my nails for Octavia to finally have her first scene with nu!Octavian. I'm actually quite tempted to make a picturespam for O/O on ship_manifesto because it's free month (cough, you wouldn't be interested in maybe doing a nice little Krista/Chase picturespam or something like it? *misses my dead little show*). But of course that would mean that I would have to decide between roughly a ton of potential ships I'd love to do something on (cough like some Paul/Chani for example; wish I had a quality copy of the miniseries so I could do Leto/Ghanima). Or one of the femslash couples from Miss Marple I just discovered (BTW, is there Miss Marple universe femslash? I want it!)

Eeeeee! There's actually fic on O/O out there? *runs over there*

I'm loving me some Daniel/Alexis. Their big confrontation in front of the press was hilarious. I think the crux about all the 'cest pairings is that I just flooooove them. I mean I like the shippy aspect, I like the dark creepy aspect, but I usually really love the Gen aspect too. Like I would just as easily read a fic where Dexter/Deb or Daniel/Alexis sit down together and talk about their issues, even if it doesn't have a 'cesty ending. *sigh* I love me my couples.

I remember noticing your Meadecest fic. I've been meaning to read it, but couldn't quite get around it yet. *marks it*

I'm so curious whether Rome will actually do the Octavia/Anthony marriage. Because, vow, if anybody is going to blow up their family household again that's going to be it big time. Though I have to say that my O/O shippy heart has been rather happy with all the letters being sent and all the "he trust you/if anybody could have changed his mind it would have been you" stuff. *sighs*

They better have the crazy!hot chemistry that Kerry and Max had. I think Simon Woods is foxy though, so I have faith in him that he will bring age appropriate sexy to the O/O pairing :D

you wouldn't be interested in maybe doing a nice little Krista/Chase picturespam or something like it? *misses my dead little show*

I will check out this ship_manifesto and see what I can do. I've been mourning the lost of BtS and the stupidity of SpikeTV again recently as well. *kicks SpikeTV*

Eeeeee! There's actually fic on O/O out there? *runs over there*

Yes, good, angsty, sexy O/O fic!

heir big confrontation in front of the press was hilarious.

I nearly died laughing when Alexis was all "then you'll just have to hit yourself" and started smacking him with his own hand. Genius.

I think the crux about all the 'cest pairings is that I just flooooove them. I mean I like the shippy aspect, I like the dark creepy aspect, but I usually really love the Gen aspect too.

I couldn't agree more. I can't even really put into words why I love the 'cest pairing so much, there's just something complex and compelling about them that I dig. They're fascinating character studies, and you get all sorts of differnent and intense emotional happenings, and inappropriate stuff is just hot.

I'm so curious whether Rome will actually do the Octavia/Anthony marriage.

I've been wondering about that too. With the way they're playing the Agrippa thing I'm wondering if they're going to have Octavia given to him instead of Antony. I think it would kill Octavian to see his sister with his best friend though so I don't know. But I too loved the soft tone of voice he used when mentioning the letter to Octavia, and that he's been certain to write to her. Plus, I just loved the way Simon Woods delivered "I just have the one sister, Agrippa". Sexy, sexy man.

"I just have the one sister, Agrippa". Sexy, sexy man.

Yepp, I floved that!

I couldn't agree more. I can't even really put into words why I love the 'cest pairing so much, there's just something complex and compelling about them that I dig.

I think it's the sign of pretty much any awesome ship if the relationship they have is just so intensely complex and captivating that even the most simple stuff about them can feel like fannish porn even if there is no sex in it. And most couples that give the incesty usually have that in spades, simply because they have a lifelong connection, full of power issues, family ties and childhood traumas. It's usually the whole definition of the cesty couples that they must have gone through some effed up stuff together and just got tied together more closely because of it.

I will check out this ship_manifesto and see what I can do. I've been mourning the lost of BtS and the stupidity of SpikeTV again recently as well. *kicks SpikeTV*

Sends double and triple curses to SpikeTV. I get all sad when I go to TWOP and they occasionally have the Mercury commercial banner with Jill/Krista. Whaaaaa! That woman is sooooo beautiful and awesome. It's a crime that that is the only place you can see her anymore.

Errr, ship_manifesto is a community where you can write a short essay to declare your love for a pairing. Usually you have a certain formart, short description of the show, short description of the characters, a bit of the history of the couple, maybe with some evidence and then some fandom links. Currently they have free month where you can post pretty much anything for your couple, no particular format required.

Personally I love going there when I love to wallow in nostalgia over couples I used to love. Batman/Wonder Woman, Kira/Dukat Mulder/Krycek, various Trek ones.... ah, the memories! There are some gross oversights though. No Xena for example!

Love. (and he was totally staring at her boobs. In fact staring at Alexis's rack was like a motif that episode starting with Betty and ending with Daniel ... it was like cyclical!)

Betty staring at Alexis' boobs was definitely noted and laughed about by me :D

[trufflehog.livejournal.com]

juliicest completes my day, and, oddly enough, my whole rome-watching-group seems to love it too :D

also...

Ugly Betty rocks my entire planet!!!!

I heart that show muchly. And Meadecest is so hot! The "clothes museums" floored me every time. And yay for Justin being a "sissy" that kicks ass! I won't go on and on because you have pretty much said all of the things that I feel about the show...except no mention of the fabulous Chris Gorham as Henry. I hated him as Harrison (I make no secret of my Harrison hatred) but I love him as Henry. I am a definite Betty/Henry shipper and hopefully they won't keep them apart for too long.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Ugly Betty rocks my entire planet!!!!

If the planet's a rockin' ... Ugly Betty must be on! I must say it's nice to be speaking with some sane people. I've encountered at least three people today who don't love Ugly Betty and it made me fear for humanity. Whatever, the student that agreed with me that Ugly Betty is awesome and Alexis rocks is getting an "A", lol.

And Meadecest is so hot!

So hot. And last night was like Meadecest heaven.

The "clothes museums" floored me every time.

Oh I know. Mabius nailed that everytime with his sweet clueless, and Romijn's exasperation with him was too funny.

I was really glad that Justin didn't get bashed but was just standing up for his Moms. Oh, and Santos, if the hair pulling and sratching works then leave him be. If he could take THAT kid down, I think he'll be fine twirling his umbrella for as long as he wants.

I hated him as Harrison (I make no secret of my Harrison hatred) but I love him as Henry.

Oh, I couldn't effing stand Harrison. I hated him with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. I don't dislike Gorham but some of that Harrison hate has stained him forever. I do like Henry though, his 'popping and locking' thing from last week was comedy gold. I just got overwhelmed by everyone else's overthetopness that Henry's cute normalacy got lost in translation (I also forgot that Christina wasn't even in the episode!)

Also, you're icon is true love! Can I snag it?

[grdnofevrythng.livejournal.com]

So hot. And last night was like Meadecest heaven.

I couldn't get enough of it. Every they were on screen together I sighed...

I wish more shows had writers like the ones on Ugly Betty...

ZOMG...yes...so very very funny...and I think I'm crushing on the total geek look (I heart geeks to the tenth power)

And what was up with Christina being absent? I was saddened by that and the lack of Amanda.

Also, you're icon is true love! Can I snag it?

Take, credit and enjoy.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I couldn't get enough of it. Every they were on screen together I sighed...

We're totally brain twins. I had to goofy grin on my face every time they were in the same room as each other. *pinches their cheeks* Soooo cute!

Word.

ZOMG...yes...so very very funny...and I think I'm crushing on the total geek look (I heart geeks to the tenth power)

Yeah, the nerd glasses are super cute! I'd totally go out for sushi with him :D

And what was up with Christina being absent? I was saddened by that and the lack of Amanda.

I'm guessing the abundance of Alexis meant that other characters screen time had to get cut. I want Christina and AMANDA! (in a bigger dose) back next though. I really hope that RR stays around for more than one season. I mean, she was gonna do TV with Pepper Dennis anyway, so why not stick around on this show which doesn't suck and allows her to rock hardcore?

Take, credit and enjoy.

Awesome!

[thelana.livejournal.com]

And of course "Stop staring at my boobs" - "I'm staring at your Adam's apple" :D

[grdnofevrythng.livejournal.com]

Comedic gold....

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Love. (and he was totally staring at her boobs. In fact staring at Alexis's rack was like a motif that episode starting with Betty and ending with Daniel ... it was like cyclical!)

[grdnofevrythng.livejournal.com]

Even better is that Alexis was totally not bothered by the fact that he was staring at her chest.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I know! I love that she was actually kind of smugly blase about it. Awww, those are my Meade's. By the same token, Daniel didn't seem weirded out at all that his sister was accusing him of checking her out. They're probably already doing it :D

[grdnofevrythng.livejournal.com]

smugly blase

best term ever! I will have to use it sometime if you don't mind.

They're probably already doing it

XD...there are just no words for that.

And again, because it cannot be pimped enough, A Multi-fandom Incest Friending Meme. All this: Bluthcest, spycest, Maedecest, Juliicest, wincest, twincest, blackcest, fluxcest, baudcest ... and more! We're not alone!

Gak, my faith in humanity! I needed that!

...

Saunderscest isn't REAL incest because it isn't her sister, it's just a psychotic alter-ego that MANIFESTS ITSELF as her sister. Obviously, that makes everything kosher.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Gak, my faith in humanity! I needed that!

So true, I smiled and nodded my head at the screen secure in the knowledge that my people are out there!

Saunderscest isn't REAL incest because it isn't her sister, it's just a psychotic alter-ego that MANIFESTS ITSELF as her sister. Obviously, that makes everything kosher.

Ahhhh, leave me to my delusions! The writers still haven't made it totally clear exactly what Jessica is, so I'm gonna hold onto the Sanderscest until they rip it from my bloody fingers by explicitly stating that Jessica is just Niki's psychotic alter-ego. Or I'll wank that Niki loved Jessica so much that she subconciously molded her alter-ego after her sister, so she's still in love with her sister in a way. I know you saw the way she got all dreamy and teary when telling that piano story!

Obviously, that makes everything kosher.

I love how the options with Niki are ... in love with her dead sister that is inhabiting her body, or in love with ... herself! Oh Niki, no wonder I love you so much. It also rocks that Ali Larter is like a chemistry bomb when she on screen by herself ;)

[teh-no.livejournal.com]

It's always possible that her sister was adopted. I think that would be for the best, yes.

[teh-no.livejournal.com]

Also, I saw a bit of Ugly Betty and I'm kinda freaked out that the dude looks kinda like a cross between Lee Adama and Eric Mabius.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

That IS Eric Mabius!

He really shouldn't have stolen Lee Adama's hair, though. Lee's hair is like the only thing I like about him.

[teh-no.livejournal.com]

That IS Eric Mabius!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

BWAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! A picture truly is worth a thousand words! Unless those words are Michelle Rodriguez mocking Mabius in a dopey voice "Yogurt?"

*bwahlaughterendlessbwahing*
