MK: Did you hit the cut on your hand?
Andrea: No, my wedding ring cut my finger! Stupid giant diamond!
MK: Oooh, first world problems!
Andrea: The only way this would be more first world problems is if I did that opening champagne.

Andrea: Totally. First world problems.

fangasmic: Warnings that story should have had AHAHAHAHA YES.
AGREED,elandrialore, agreed!
Another Hawaii Five-0 spoiler with a side of hilarious cast members. <3
Cuuuute! Maru likes to watch the water from a bath drain; hangs out while his owner bathes. Maru + box = love loooooooove~.
AHAHAHAHA that was totally my first thought: BEES. So cute! Oh, John. And then John got drunk (Oh, John).
Viaperfica: Rawr!
You need to read this hilarious article in the Post about video games, like right now. Video games ruined my life. Good thing I have two extra lives.
Ridiculous H50 post, the kind I am sort of weak for, and by sort of I mean a lot. Please note that lady’s dog also loves Scott Caan.
This couple sounds awesome. Time travel!
Cutest H50 spoiler to date for the Christmas episode!
A little kindness goes a long way (Cute comic by Kate Beaton)
H50 1x11 preview, not the episode trailer but a clip! Exciting!
I can’t stop laughing; Ras’ surprisingly insightful commentary about the CHAMP toolbox, with slight spoilers for episodes 2 and 11. STILL LAUGHING.
Oh thank god, YES. Please, please read this post about things people do on LJ/DW that are fucking annoying. Please. Professional MPREG furries are a thing now in China. Cool?
Someone on the H50 kink meme posted the hottest picture of Alex O’ playing a nerd in another show (Super, super hot) and now I want a science AU andleupagus is taunting me with her lack of science knowledge, but at least waketosleep is on my side. Come on, tell me you want this. You so want this.
Watch this video of portraits drawn by an artist. The subject is one man. The US government dosed the artist with LSD. The results? A bit like watching the history of art.
ghostdrive and I, and this guy at Kotaku apparently have the same problem: if I love a game, I can’t finish it. Final Fantasy VI and X? Never finished. I don’t want them to end. I made myself finish Zelda games, but I feel the same way about them. I don’t think I ever finished Zelda 64.
Interview with Ann about ANTM! and especially the bacon sandwich photo, what the hell.ghostdrive, without you I would miss out on key info like this.
I think Danny likes the view from here, Aquaman.
Elandrialore sums up why this week’s hawaii five 0 was awesome. Lamardeuse’s recap (lots of pictures!) is also excellent.
Christmas Maru; wouldn’t you like a fat cat in your stocking this year? So cute!
This H50 vid is kind of amazing, you should watch or download it.
Eamesstealsthings.com is now a hilarious comic you should check out. So accurate; so cute.
Whaaat? Since when is NY a movie set pretending to be Toronto? You guys have it backwards.
Merlin S3 pics not spoilery as far as I could tell (and I’m ages behind)
If you love Mario and are running Windows you will love this. I, unfortunately, can’t play it. Mac or linux version? Please?
Our cat always acted like this when I found one of her whiskers, too. So cute.
Bad Machinery: Your ideal husband
So I can park here? I have papers.
If I could, I would marry this man but really just for his software and the installation. LCARS-themed home OS! Controls everything in his house! I was mesmerized.
viazoetrope: What do smart girls get?
That sucks so Vladimir!
Video games alphabet is beautiful.
Whoops, wardrobe malfunction.
Alex hearts Scott so much; Scott denies everything.
Hot cup cold spoon is a coffee & icecream place that just rebranded, beautifully.
Catching bad guys, Steve McGarrett style.
This was me for the entire span of November 25 - December 6; basically until H50 came back.
Batman City sounds awesome and terrifying.
The Simpsons make appropriate slogans for Fox news; wish these were real.
Best bike lock ever?
Doctor HOO!
This local Toronto photographer I follow posted this lovely photo of a place we locals refer to as “hooker Harveys.
Yoink! Nom nom nom.
Space unicorns would have been pretty cool, though what they actually announced is also very cool.
Giant ice transformer just in time for the trailer for Dark of the Moon.
Robo-cat attacks; carries on.
Fuck yeah, Grace and Grace.
Check out the chin feathers on this little guy! Hummingbirds are really cool looking when you get a still frame of them up close. Cooler than I previously thought, definitely.
Many of my friends identify with this picture.
If I had a Daemon it would be a red panda. Think it through and picks yours, guys.
Dinner of champions.
Dogs: Not very bright, but oh, so cute!
Poor Sonny, he is just a nice guy.
Inception DVD release for Toronto involved a giant maze you had to complete on a time limit.
Mario and Luigi for real, no seriously.
I want the TRON helmet more than the bike, but yes, the bike is very, very cool.
No one understands Hardison’s simple joys. Instead they deny his love.
Hurry it up!
Firefox tries to compensate for being less cool than Chrome right now; adopts red pandas and puts them on a web cam; wins at cuteness overload.
I know exactly how this kid feels.
No seriously Alex O’Loughlin makes a super hot nerd.
Culturally “untranslatable” phrases make sense; are hilarious; need to be used right now.
Let’s meet up at Waiola shave ice
AKA Hi Grace, my name is Step Steve...
Family of ducks battered about by the wind. They make it though, so it’s cute.
Lion and caretaker
Kate, this is no time for international affairs, you have a paper to write!
MK: omg I just found the worst icon
twentysomething: ?
MK: [link] don’t ruin a perfectly good playstation controller! get a vibrator!
twentysomething: thanks em just threw up in my mouth a bit

MK: that’s just hindsight talking
Fic recs
Hawaii Five-0
Scotty Doesn’t Know by Robanybody [Scott/Alex]
If this were real Alex would be in a mental institute and Scott would probably be arrested for lewd behavior. Cute, funny RPS.
You Don’t Need A Catchy Song by Lilas [Steve/Danno]
Five ringtones Steve discovered Danno had set for him. Hilarious pre-slash with a side of team and Grace!
Calendar Boy by Shanachie-Quill [Steve/Danno]
This is something L should not read. But it’s delicious. Danny is finally half-moved into Steve’s place, but is still holding back about a lot of things when Steve starts going through a box of Danny’s old photos and finds something interesting.
No Good Will It Do You by Twentysomething [Steve/always-a-girl!Danno]
Steve jokes about it a lot, but when Haneoka in Vice actually asks if he can “borrow” Danni, Steve has to remind himself that he’s not allowed to shoot people, because the Governor is probably lying about full immunity. (OH MY GOD YESSSS. Twentysomething wrote this for me and it is everything, absolutely everything I love. Seriously you need to read this right now.)
Rules by Elandrialore [Steve/Danno]
Two cute short fics; one where Steve gleefully abuses mistletoe until Danny gives in and one where the team make Danny’s christmas. Adorable team gen.
Christmas Tradition by Lamardeuse [Steve/Danno]
and – damn it, Danny, I just wanted to do something nice for you and Grace. It doesn’t have to – I’m not trying to –”
Danny frowned. “Not trying to what?”
Steve shook himself as though he’d just emerged from the water. “Nothing. It’s late, and I – Merry Christmas, okay?”
Enjoy the Silence by samjohnsson [Steve/Danno]
Injured on the job, danny can’t speak for a minimum of three days, and with his other injuries, steve insists he stay at his place with grace that weekend. Cute.
xxxHOLiC
Restoration by thehoyden [Watanuki/Doumeki]
The prefectural authorities want to know where he has been, what he has been doing, if he is who he says he is.
BBC Sherlock
In which Sherlock and John get a Cat. by Missp2010 [Sherlock/John]
Kind of OOC, but enjoyable anyway: John gets a cat because Sherlock is always away; Sherlock is most definitely not pleased.
New days to throw your chains away by Wordstrings [Sherlock/John]
More sociopathically possessive Sherlock and John. The first half of part one felt very awkward and weak to me, but after that it picks up and resumes all of the things I love about this series.
When the Bough Breaks by alice_day [Sherlock/John]
Pru sent me this story before breakfast and it is super adorable gen/pre-slash. A minor crossover with Harry potter where John is turned into an infant and Sherlock has to take care of him while investigating.
White Noise by rubberbutton [Shelock/John, Moriarty/John]
Part 2 of that Sherlock AU where vampires rule and humans are slaves and John is Sherlock’s slave. This continues to be well-developed, interesting, and very layered. Sometimes I’m mad at characters, sometimes I like them. Plotty, very intriguing and still with the delicious character interaction you want.
Inception
Eye of the Needle by birdsdown [Arthur/Eames]
Absolutely amazing AU (part 1/2 WIP; where is part 2?!) where Arthur is a tailor and Eames needs a suit ASAP.
Portrait of the Artist, Not of the Sitter by Reliablemachine [Arthur/Eames]
“Arthur is a (former?) model who did a lot of catalog work as a teenager to earn money for college. Now he’s studying at a university in London. Eames used to jack off to catalogs featuring Arthur! They have a class together. Eames is like :O, Arthur is all :?, <3 (Okay the author doesn't fully understand how figure modelling works, but otherwise this story is delightful.)
Darling it’s cold outside by liketheroad [Arthur/Eames]
I’m really enjoying this mini-Arthur/Eames a day for the holidays thing, and this is a cute entry with cold-related HC. (Each post is a short fic followed by fanart.)
And if somebody loved me like she do by frantic_allonsy [Arthur/Eames]
“Arthur curled around the radiator on the bare wooden floor with a book wearing one of Eames’ old sweatshirts....”
Allowed by Persephone_il [Arthur/Eames]
Scroll down to “Allowed”, which is possibly one of the best Arthur/Eames comment fills I’ve seen. Skin-hungry Eames who wants desperately to just touch Arthur, and they’re in an established relationship-- except Eames is Asexual. Lovely, and really romantic.
Untitled by ethrosdemon [Arthur/Eames]
Arthur accidentally on purpose starts trying to woo Eames with gifts, and fails for the most part. Then Eames decides two can play that game, and of course he is brilliant at it. This story is weirdly in-character, believable, and cute and fun.
All the lights that lead us there are blinding by Silsuffisait [Arthur/Eames]
Super sweet boarding school au where prefect Eames is also on the rowing team and determined to win arthur over, whether he likes it or not. Sweet! Lots of kissing.
Cobb’s Man by Skellerbvvt [Arthur/Eames]
Read only part one and pretend part 2 never happened. Cobb quits the business and arthur goes to Eames, who is desperately in love with him still and happy to prove it.
Merlin
Drugstore Flowers by Anonymous [Merlin/Arthur]
Oh my god, this is the cutest story in ages! An adorable contemporary AU where Merlin is kind of broke and his MP3 player breaks, at which point someone starts sending him thoughtful gifts and less-thoughtful flowers. Adorable.
Driving Lessons by Anonymous [Merlin/Arthur]
Morgana tricks Arthur into driving Merlin home to Ealdor for Christmas because Ealdor is not far from Uther’s winter home, and also because Arthur has a massive crush on Merlin. This story made me so, so happy! You need to read it now!
NEED MOAR H50.
