gala_applesI just got home from spending 6 and a bit hours at Vince's playing Magic. It was about a third sorting (when you have five colours, and four types of coloured cards, then land, artifacts, and combo coloured cards, and you have a boy that keeps his cards in shoeboxes *twitch*, sorting becomes a Major Event), a third building decks, and a third playing. God help me, I must have thought about what kind of decks the boys would have twenty or thirty times:
Mikey has his cards neatly organised in recipe card containers and Gerard is a fellow shoeboxer and Mikey wants to cry.
Pete looking at his handful of blue cards and he's like "why am i doing this?" because really, weird monsters on cardboard cards? and Mikey's deliberately misunderstands "because cancelling and preventing people from using spells and stopping their turn, it pisses people off. playing blue Magic means you're only doing it right if people hate you" and Pete smiles and has a deck of like 40 instants and 20 land, and he'll never WIN with it one-on-one, but they're playing partners and Mikey's is more aggressive so it's okay.
Alicia's got this green-white deck that's basically based on token creatures and Essence Warden (gain a life each time a creature comes into play) so each turn she's like HAHAAHA 12 MORE LIFE FOR ME. And Gerard built Lyn-Z a sliver deck, because that kind of thing is easy for a beginner, you basically just attack each turn and slowly leach one life per turn from the other. And Alicia has no real attacking cards, just all these shitty 0/1 tokens, but she CAN'T DIE because her life is in the hundreds.
And Gerard and Mikey have played each other for so long that by the second or third card they're putting on the table the other is like "ohhh, it's that deck" and they're like SHUT UP I CHANGED IT! And he's like "what, you substituted Roar of the Wurm for Panglacial Wurm?" and the other just glares (and it was Arrogant Wurm anyway)
Holy fuck, someone stop me from turning this into a fic. I CANNOT WRITE A FIC ABOUT THIS. I live on feedback, no one is going to read a Magic!fic.
OKAY, AND IN OTHER NEWS, SANER NEWS... I cannot for the life of me figure out my sex is the enemy. NWFS picture under the cut
I DON'T EVEN KNOW. All the threesomes I normally write have Frank or Pete, and neither guy has tattoos. And the one on the left is TANNED. Since when would Gerard or Mikey get tanned? I mean, I guess one of them could be Gabe, but who the fuck is the other one?
Honestly part of me wants to make it a random AU where Frank or Pete for whatever reason doesn't have tattoos. Is that cheating?
Lastly, random bandom. I picked Mikey, and got Mikey, Frank, Gabe, Ian, and Jon. I've thought up and rejected like 10 Mikey/Mikey prompts (sci-fi geek knows there's no good reason to time travel and throws a fit at thinking of writing it just for sex), and Mikey/Frank and Mikey/Gabe are things I already write a lot. I haven't quite decided on Mikey/Ian or Mikey/Jon.

Date: 2011-02-01 09:41 am (UTC)That threesome, the one on the left could totally be Gabe, the scar on the hip of the other one is very pleasing, idek why.
I also love Character/character fics, Although I've never written one, it doesn't have to be time travel, mirrors and clones work too, as do masturbation fantasies. I was half hoping for Frank/Frank.

Date: 2011-02-02 02:09 am (UTC)Also I think it was on remedial_mcr that someone said their husband is one of the card artists, and they were handing out business cards at one of the Comiccons, and Mikey took one and recognised the Magic card the art was from. Which makes me love him just a little bit more. <3

Date: 2011-02-01 06:12 pm (UTC)but the rest of me is going....BUT BUT BUT.....GALA...NO TIEMMMMMMMM!!!!!!(unless you could fit it in your h/c bingo stamp that is)
you totally don't want my help for the picture because I will say something stupid like Gabe/Mikey/genderswapped Brendon so yeah
I say Mikey/Jon just because I know it will be challenging for you to write not creeper Jon. :P

Date: 2011-02-02 02:14 am (UTC)also omg creeeepy. the ipod knew i was talking to you (even if you weren't going to answer) TAKE ME DOWN TO THE RIVER, SO I CAN DROWN DROWN DROWN. yeah, thanks. lovely. i can't write skv, i need to write skanon. MY LIFE, SO HARD. (ugh, and literally every time i use that phrase frank sticks his head up and is like IS IT MY TURN? no! shut up!)
no, there's a mod rule that you can't genderswap. i think i'll probably write gabe/victoria/ryland. they're all about the same height, and the tattoo thing works.
*snicker* you mean Jon can NOT be a total fucking creeper? that's POSSIBLE?

Date: 2011-02-02 03:55 am (UTC)DUDE...*laughter*(SOON FRANK SOON..then you will wish it wasn't your turn yet because seriously your life...soo hard)
drat but that works as well
I THINK????BUT I'M NOT SURE

Date: 2011-02-02 07:18 am (UTC)Mikey could be tanned. There's photographic proof he once went to a beach wearing shorts. Also, if you did young Frank or Pete then they wouldn't have tattoos at that point right?
There might not be a good reason for time travel but alternate universes and parallel dimensions are another story aren't they?

Date: 2011-02-04 01:56 am (UTC)very true. I almost started writing a Battery City Mikey comes into our world, is amazed by the colours and music and everything, and somehow finds Mikeyway and they have sex/fall in love, and when he is forced to go back to Battery City for whatever reason he convinces his brother it's time to rebel and make the colour come back. And then I was like....that's going to be like 8k, and it's due in a week, do something that doesn't make you want to write ALL THE PLOT.
