You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed

But first....

~~ Further to the discussions about concrit etc etc (don't worry, I have absolutely zero desire to stir it all up again) I need to tell you I made some changes to my rec post for megyal's gorgeous fic Truffles, Noble Lord of the Sky, and added an email that megyal sent me and asked to have included. It's here: http://birdsofshore.livejournal.com/49092.html

~~ Furthermore, megyal, who is spoiling us this month, has written a gem of a story for my choice of trope: "forced bed sharing." O, forced bedsharing, how do I love thee? This fic is full of her usual poetry and magic, and at under 2k, it's a delicious treat. I read it twice and some of the lines made me stop and read them again and again because they are just so rich and fine.

I know it can be a bit icky when people show actors fanart and such of the characters they play. However I think I love Mark Ruffalo a little bit after reading this:

"MARK RUFFALO KNOWS WHAT SCIENCE BROS IS, SHIPS IT"

He seemed so genuinely delighted by the whole concept, I found it strangely heart-warming. I've seen actors confronted before on talk shows or at cons, and they usually take it in good part, but then they're trying to appear likeable and funny, so it's hard to know how they actually feel about the subject. I know Tom Felton always seems amused by the things fandom comes up with, and often makes jokes about Drarry or Drapple. However I can think of other actors for whom this must have been a cringy situation.

What do you think about people having fandom thrust upon them like this? It seems sort of disrespectful, but then the interview above shows it can be a thing of joy... And, incidentally, do you ship Science Bros? I don't follow the Avengers at all, but Mark Ruffalo (is it just me who always wants to say Mark Gruffalo? :D) and RDJ are both so cute, I could be easily persuaded...
