What is this I don't even
I'm not even going to get into my thoughts on Megaforce because it would take me hours and all of my opinions are unpopular anyway. So fuck that, I have fandomsmash to report.
My husband, who is ridiculous and harbors an irrational enjoyment of terrible movies, decided that we were going to watch Battleship this evening. Initially I complained about this, as you do, until it was brought to my attention that John Tui is not only in the film, he actually has a decently big part. Wrap your heads around this fact, friendslist. JOHN TUI IS IN FUCKING BATTLESHIP. He of course plays a spectacular badass who is also quite useful because he seems to be the only one around capable of getting the protagonist to curb his "angsty Red Ranger"-ish qualities. And of course, his guns are ridonkulous and he looks stupid hot in a military uniform.
It is both surreal and hilarious to see Daggeron in a boat with Rihanna.
One of the other major characters in this film is played by Hamish Linklater, who no one cares about but me because I happened to see him in a Broadway play with Alan Rickman last year. I am kind of proud of both of these guys for getting into a major movie. It is a superbly crappy major movie, but it is a major movie nonetheless. So yeah. Thumbs up, guys.
(Footnote: For the purpose of keeping myself entertained and distracted from how silly the plot is, I'm keeping score on who is having a more difficult time controlling his accent, John Tui or Liam Neeson. So far, Liam Neeson is losing.)

Hey, I had a thought last night, and since we are NOT TALKING ABOUT MEGAFORCE, let's talk about your Jayden's dad/Ji universe: You mention that the yellow ranger surrogated- but did she use her own eggs? Are Jayden and Emily and Lauren and Serena all half siblings?! I have to know what your headcanon is here, lol.

And in answer to your "In Silence" question...POSSIBLY PROBABLY LIKELY YES? I left it semi-open because it wasn't a can of worms I felt like opening, but the main reason it was Emily and Serena's mom and not one of the others was because it made the most genetic sense for her to be the bio-mom. (All these adorable blond Ranger-children running around, Jesus.) It now occurs to me that there can consequently be no Serena/Lauren in this 'verse because that would be vaguely creepy, and that makes me a little sad.

Anyway, I was just curious. These are apparently the things that keep me awake at night lol. :P

I am not sure how I feel about my fic interrupting your sleep? Good, I think. I think I feel good about it.

Yes yes, follow the bunnies (and possibly the squirrels?)
no subject
...Plot-squirrels? That's a vaguely frightening thought.
no subject
So yeah, some of the things I start are definitely brought by plot-squirrels. :P

...Does considering John Tui a sexy beast count as an unpopular opinion, though?no subject
Probably?
