nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd

I'm currently borrowing the Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy core book so I can look at the stuff and get ideas for a character and make plans and whatnot. I'm like 99.9% sure I'll play an Imperial Psyker because anything where you can fuck up something innocuous and accidentally wind up possessed by a demon sounds awesome. My plan is to be a Diviner, but who knows? I might get distracted by Telepaths again. It happens. The ones in this universe have trouble keeping a stable personality, which could be fun times.

My point here is that there is a table in this book where you can randomly roll a name if you have no fucking clue what to call your character, and one of the possible first names for a lady character is Plath. OH I SEE.

I have been so shit at fandom lately, guys. Sorry! I will endeavor to do better in the future.

On that note, I saw Iron Man 2 on Friday night, and there was this awesome crowd at the movie theatre. Including a guy who was like "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT" at the Super 8 viral trailer, and the little kid behind me who was like "OH NO IRON MAN IS DEAD" like twelve times throughout the movie. I was so worried about the Black Widow casting, but Natasha was SO GREAT, you guys. SO GREAT. All the parts with Vanko and Hammer made me laugh SO HARD. Honestly, I laughed SO HARD a lot. Don Cheadle's Rhodey is different, but also good! PEPPER FUCKING POTTS.

A lot of people have said they liked it, but not as much as the first movie, but I actually liked it more than the first movie, although I can't really put my finger on why. The only thing I really didn't like in this movie was Tony and Pepper kissing, at which point I leaned over to the Secret Canadian and just said "NOOOOOOOOOO. You are too great for him, Pepper! DON'T DO IT." Which I guess is funny, because I love Tony/Pepper fic, but let me tell you about things that are awesome in fic, but not as much in canon! Tony/Pepper is one of those things for me! I HAD NO IDEA.

And speaking of Iron Man! [personal profile] atrata wrote this story called Almost No One Makes It Out, which is the AU Tony Stark isn't filthy rich. It's really interesting, and I liked it a lot.

OMG me too! Like, as soon as they kissed I was like "Noooo!" I want them to remain snarky as well as UST-y! It just works better that way. Also Natasha <3<3<3 Scarlett Johansson is so ridiculously hot sometimes it short-circuits my knowledge of the fact that she can actually act.
