in the midnight hour, I can feel your power

[brandywine28]

So. Today on the F Train, a very nice older lady put her hand on my knee and asked, concern in her voice, what was wrong, which, I didn't think anything was?? I mean, all I'd been doing was sitting there, y'know, zoning out on the Zizmor ads and thinking about all the AUs I'll never write: the usual. And then she squeezed my knee and told me not to worry, she'd say a rosary for me, so I guess...

I guess...

The moral of this story is that my RBF is really more of an RTF (Resting Traumatized Face)? Which, uh. Okay.

So now that I know about it...how do I fix it? (And please don't tell me to imagine something soothing, like dolphins and sea lions cavorting in a calm, blue ocean because 1. dolphins wig me out. They're too smart. You just know they're plotting something.* And 2. I'd say I already think about sea lions about...hmm...5-7 hours per day, at least. Any more would be ridiculous.)



*What?! They ARE.

I feel your pain. I have had Resting Murder Face since my late teens. My BFF was afraid of me when we socialized as acquaintances.

Unfortunately, I never found anything that changed it.

I mean, my Deep, Penetrative Gaze has definitely gotten me into trouble before; people are forever thinking I'm flirting with them when I'm really, really not. But this was a first for my Harshly Repressed Inner Turmoil(TM).

You obviously need to amp up your AU thoughts and turn them into extremely sappy sparkly boy situations that give you heart eyes.

Well, now that you mention it, it HAS been awhile since I last headcanonned anyone into a shirtless, tragically orphaned centaur with a glittery mane...

Am I losing my edge?! *frets*

I absolutely agree with turps33. You keep shoving AU ideas at me, but you need to write them. Because your AUs are the things dreams and ice sculptures are made of. *points to Chris In An Apron at High School Home Ec Class AU*

Yes, mom. :)

I keep thinking about vampire!Lance and his costumed walk of shame! It pleases me.

And obviously I can't remember how to do an LJ tag.

Aw, but at least you've got your looks!
