Thanksgiving Thursday and 107 Discussion Post
Hello all!
Some of you will notice that it's a Thursday. We missed Wednesday. Also I totally missed putting a discussion post up this week and only realised today. It was sort of the least organised week in the world. I think USians have excuses because of thanksgiving, I don't have any appropriate excuses, except that sleep has somehow deserted me. Anyway, I am combining posts, I hope that's okay!
Thanksgiving Thursday
Mix together 3/4 oz gin, 3/4 oz dry vermouth, 3/4 oz apricot brandy, 1/4 oz lemon juice, and add a maraschino cherry for garnish. And give thanks.
I can't remember if someone already put this one up here, but I sort of just love it. I'm completely assuming they're having a case about a mermaid, because I have become a leetle bit obsessed lately. But also I would quite like them to find an excuse to put Breckin in a massive vat of water. Any suggestions about what's really going on here?
OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. That's all really I have to say about that. (Except he is wearing more than one bracelet which kind of confuses me even though I LOVE THAT HE WEARS BRACELETS.)
This is just a random picture that showed up on tumblr a bit ago. I have no idea what he thinks he is doing with himself, but I'm a bit in love with his wrists so I kind of adore it.
Anyhow, Happy Thanksgiving to the US peoples, if that is a thing that you are doing. And if it is the right day. All I really know about Thanksgiving is that it steals american tv from me, and that it's full of foods I have never tried, involving sweet potatoes and sometimes marshmallows, and pecans and STUFF. It sounds awesome. Presumably Jared refuses to go home for holidays, so Peter buys all the best pies from his favourite bakery and they stay at home with Carmen and Pindar and eat and play computer games and watch football and support different sides.
This is, as ever, a free for all post, let us know how things are going, what you're up to, how you're getting on with the ficlet fest, anything at all! x
107 - Franklin vs Bash
So. Franklin, or Bash? (I was going to ask this in poll form, but I actually couldn't bring myself to because I fear my Peter!fangirl heart would be slightly destroyed by the outcome.)
Is Jared objecting for betrayal the greatest thing you have ever seen? Why don't we have fic about Jared crying when he lost his last case? Is the ketchup/mix tape/food sharing extravaganza of LOVE your favourite diner moment of all time? How hard does Infeld ship Franklin/Bash? Could having children ever make Hanna ordinary? Could Hanna and Damien love each other more? Do you not think it's weird that everyone thinks the father is somehow unreasonable not to want to let his 13 year old disappear into the amazon?
Share with me your thoughts! . . . or spend time with your family and ignore the internet, Either one.

I'm even more determined to write my fic prompt because I had to drop out of my other exchange fest.
I totally think Infield ships them, in fact, I'd say he would totally condone their relationship. He'd send them on vacations together to really fancy gay friendly resorts (without their knowledge of course!).

I love your icon:)
Infeld just LOVES them and I love that he loves them. And I can totally see him giving them romantic weekends away together for their bonuses <3

Okay, so that totally looks like the set-up to an overdramatic magician (think David Blaine), which makes me go eeeeeeee! because I have a giant thing for magicians. (Or more logically, it could be mermaids, duh.)
That bracelet looks like a hair tie to me....although, that could be because I always have a hair tie around my wrist.
It always boggles my mind to hear that non-Americans (especially Europeans) have never had "traditional" Thanksgiving food like sweet potato pie or green bean casserole... I realize that American traditions aren't everywhere (yet...we're like a fungus...), but it still makes me sad. If I could send you all sweet potato pie or pumpkin pie or turkey, I would.
Also, if you feel the need to be more American (or if you are American), you should totally indulge yourself and watch some American college football. In this case, the Texas A&M University vs. University of Texas game. You should root for the ones in maroon aka Texas A&M. :D
We ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FICLET FEST FOR THE SAME REASON WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT GRADUATE SCHOOL! *hyperventilates*
Hmmm....Peter is prettier and I think I would get along with him better, but I think if I were to ever magically meet them I would get along much better with Breckin.
HANNA! EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Ack! So many delicious issues! Like maybe her mother was going to be a lawyer or a doctor or something and she gave that all up to raise kids and Hanna's like, "Hell no, casual relationships only! No being stuck at home for me." And Damien's like, "Okay, that's cool.... Wait, what do you mean no mini-Hannas? :-(" AND HE TOLD SHE COULD NEVER BE ORDINARY! Like, "Hey, I super, super like you and I think you're capable of ruling the world and I'm not just saying this so that you'll hop in my bed because I don't actually want you there [except I do, but shhhhh!]" And Hanna's all "I don't understand.... But I am tingly..."
I seriously want a surprise kiss next season. I don't care who jumps who, but I feel one of them should sneak kiss the other one. Also, Damien needs to hold a black/mixed race baby. Preferably of some relation to Hanna (I will accept niece in lieu of daughter...). AND IT WILL BE A GIANT ANVIL OF HOW THINGS COULD BE and then the audience's ovaries will explode and D/H will decide that maybe they should have their own babies and asl;fdkdlkf;dfkadl!!!!!!

The US totally shipped out mcdonalds and burgers and things, but left all the exciting pie based foods at home. It's really unfair.
We ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FICLET FEST FOR THE SAME REASON WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT GRADUATE SCHOOL!
LOL. I am sorry, I DID NOT KNOW.
Hey, I super, super like you and I think you're capable of ruling the world
GENUINELY IT IS LIKE HE SAID THAT TO HER IN A CORRIDOR. lkashdjlikhjflksdsf. I LOVE THEM. And it totally made her tingle.
I am sorry, because Damien holding a baby would be BEAUTIFUL, and Hanna looking at Damien holding a baby would be AMAZING and everything is good, but if a baby appears on Franklin and Bash and Peter Bash does not HOLD THAT BABY POSSIBLY FOR THE ENTIRE EPISODE BUT AT LEAST FOR A GOOD FIVE MINUTES OF UNINTERRUPTED POSING then I am . . . I am probably not going to leave fandom in a strop and never look at it again, but I will be HEARTBROKEN.
Hanna isn't pregnant any more in nypd blue, and she is not having sex with mpg, and it is just the biggest waste of EVERYTHING I have ever seen.
no subject
Also, on the same token of hero worship. I want Damien and Peter to have to work a case where they're both worshipping some huge rockstar and they end up bonding much to the annoyance and confusion of Jared and Hanna.
I will write to my senator on your behalf and see if we can export happiness and tasty pies! :D
I feel like there should be much passing around of babies. I think everyone should hold it. PINDAR WITH A BABY! AHAHAHHAHAHHA!

That is just sadness on many, many levels. :-/

I'll admit I didn't really understand (or buy) their need to split up into Franklin vs. Bash in the first place. Their explanation for it was pretty flimsy, and even if you didn't know F&B work better together you could tell it wasn't going to work anyway.
no subject
And you're right, they could have come up with a far better reason to put Franklin against Bash. But I just don't care that it's a bit pointless and quick because THEY JUST MAKE ME TOO HAPPY TO CARE.
no subject
Hahaha, good point. I guess if you look at it with any kind of rational thinking their case actually had a sad ending.
I love how Infeld totally knew they would get back together before the end. He was all "yes, Franklin vs. Bash!" but the twinkle in his eye said "well this will teach you a valuable lesson about sticking together." Oh boys.

Firstly, WTF is going on with that picture of Breckin? And why do I love it so much?! I've been racking my brains in case somewhere along the line I missed his little-known film about the forbidden love between a man and his door, but so far I've got nothing! But if it was from a photoshoot then I definitely want to see more. And if it was from a film then can they please make a sequel and can I play the part of the door? I'd be a great door, I'm very method!
Franklin Vs Bash - it's so hard to have thoughts about this episdoe that aren't just 'WHEEEEEEEEE!!!' I love it almost as much as Bro Bono and it's only the annoying kid sub plot that stops it from scooting ahead into first place. If it was my kid, there'd be no objections from me about him going into the Amazon. I'd even pack his bag!
Is Jared objecting for betrayal the greatest thing you have ever seen? Why don't we have fic about Jared crying when he lost his last case? Is the ketchup/mix tape/food sharing extravaganza of LOVE your favourite diner moment of all time? How hard does Infeld ship Franklin/Bash?
In answer to these questions, I would have to say: Yes, I have no idea but someone should really get on that, probably until they gave us the hug and so damn hard! In no particular order, I LOVE the following parts of this episode probably more than is healthy:
~ The opening scene and Jared's "We're here to get you off" line.
~ The use of Van Halen song titles as a defense - VH rocks!
~ The way that Jared says that the French drug sounds dirtier than regular Vicodin.
~ The hot tub scene because we get wet, semi-naked Peter and unbuttoned Jared.
~ The casual way that Jared just puts all the screws from the chair down in front of Peter.
~ The "betrayal" objection, because OMG... [sniffs]
~ When they put Peter on the tiny chair and Jared gets to be taller.
~ The scene in the office because of the way they look at each other ALL THE DAMN TIME!
~ The diner when they get the band back together and share food because their love is overwhelming.
~ Jared emptying his safety deposit box - I love that he was in 'Joseph'!
~ Every single look they ever share in the episode because it just kills me...
In other news, after their use of Van Halen songs I was really hoping that we'd see more of their love of 80s rock (it being my genre of choice) but the mix tape that Jared makes for Peter seems to have a really eclectic mix of stuff on it. In your own personal head!canons, fellow F&B peeps, what kind of music are they into? An enquiring mind wants to know...
Hey, look at that - it *was* a random babble! ;o)
no subject
I haven't really thought about their musical tastes because I'm rubbish at music, also I had to sort of rethink all their life when they turned out to be 33 instead of 37, which makes them early teenagers in the weird early nineties. But yes, I think 80s rock suits them. I love that Peter can't play anything on guitar that doesn't make Debbie want to kill herself.
PETER ON THE TINY CHAIR MAKES ME SO HAPPY. He's even prettier down there.
I love your hatred of the BOY WHO HAS DONE NOTHING TO YOU NOTHING.
no subject
They're supposed to be 33?!? I'll admit that I assumed they were 37 as that's how old they really are, but when I rewatched episode 9 Jared says that he was the class of '94, which made them 35 in my head. Did I get my American School System maths wrong again? It's so confusing...
I adore Peter's guitar playing and the fact that it makes Debbie want to kill herself, especially as he offers her AC/DC as a choice - how badly do you have to play AC/DC to make someone want to kill themselves?! I think I've basically allocated *my* taste in music to Peter and Jared, because that way all the songs on my MP3 player will remind me of them, which makes me randomly smile on my way to work!

I'm extremely mesmerized by that picture. I want a wallpaper or a poster out of it or maybe both, yes definitely both, so I can stare at it like half an hour before I go to bed and then have happy Breckin dreams.
I think that if I ever met Breckin, I'd be incapable of not just talk but also languague, does anyone else thinks that?
no subject
I am not very good at meeting people even who are not Breckin Meyer, so I think meeting people who are Breckin Meyer would just be terrible. (Also I would have to kidnap him. FOR SCIENCE.)

Really, I want a beach!day episode. Where Damien has zinc oxcide on his nose and is really good at surfing (and smokes Peter at it), and Hanna looks amazing in a red swimsuit, big floppy hat, and sunglasses and tries to be all awesome and lounge-y and ignore the boyish mayhem around her, and Infeld regales everyone with stories of the high seas and tales of the deep, and Jared gets twitchy about going into the water because there was an incident with a jellyfish, and also sharks are in there, and Peter teases him gently and Jared is all 'Dude, I am like a tasty chicken nugget to them!' and Peter think's he's adorable, and then shows off his abs, and they set Pindar up with a live link so that he can be at the beach too (and try to keep the seagulls away from the screen), and Carman splits her time between being awesome at ignoring the bos with Hanna and being awesome at beating the boys at sand volleyball.
I need to learn how to use periods and shorter sentences.
Anyway... I love Breckin's intense door photo. Like he's trying to be really artsy and dramatic. And tall.
I'm one of those horrible american's who doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving (or any holidays, lol) and who confuses people by not doing so. I feel so bad telling someone I don't celebrate things, it's like their whole world view has crashed down around them.
My love for FvB is epic. I love how Jared just knows that Peter's ketchup is empty. Their courtroom antics against each other. The Bash! How Janie tries to pit them against one another, and then is like 'nuts to this!'. I think my fav bit (because I love tragic-ness) is when they're fighting, and Peter pulls out daddy!isses and Jared looks like 'you went there? fine!' and pulls out Janie!issues. Oh, boys. They know where the pain is.
The thing with the kid made no sense. 'Oh, he knows what bugs to eat! He'll be fine!' I mean, what even?
no subject
I love Jared finding Peter in the diner, I love that Peter must have gone there hoping to find Jared and Jared has gone hoping that Peter will be there to make up with and I think probably Jared had a beautiful few minutes waiting in the doorway almost angsting about whether or not peter was going to forgive him and how much he loved him.
Like he's trying to be really artsy and dramatic. And tall.
Trying to be tall by USING HIS ARM is super lovely. As is being dramatic behind glass.
'Dude, I am like a tasty chicken nugget to them!'
Oh, they are like heaven. I love the beach. Also I am still really attached to how fandom decided Jared was wary of showing off his body, or at least his arms, so he could be all not really wanting to go in the water because it would mean taking his shirt off and Peter would be all understanding and in love and not call him on it.
Hanna looks amazing in a red swimsuit, big floppy hat, and sunglasses
