You know what I need to do next year for Yuletide?

[apocalypsos]

There's a request on the list that just says, "RPF-Misc. Actors." Nothing else. And while a visit to the Dear Santa letter tells exactly which actors they want, all I could think when I saw it was, "OMG HARDCORE CRACK." I'm going to ask for that category next year and just say, "Pick whoever you want and write the crackiest idea that comes into your head. David Hasselhoff is secretly a magician! Paris, Lindsay and Britney are secretly Charlie's Angels! Ryan Seacrest is a giant chicken! Go nuts! WOOHOO."

And now I'm watching I Love the 80s and they just showed the trailer for Cloverfield and you know what? I've realized that I *adore* the situations JJ Abrams puts his characters in -- plane crash, giant monster attacking New York, soooo my type of shit -- and HAAAAATE the backstories. The more I read about the mythology behind Cloverfield, the more I don't want to go see it, which takes a lot when you're blowing shit up.

You know, I want to say that, and yet at the same time I just couldn't do it to her. And it sounded like she thought it had been listed and it hadn't, so. *shrugs*

I may do that in, like, a bunch of different RPF fandoms. George Washington as a superhero! Charlemagne as a ninja! Richard the Lionhearted shooting lasers out of his eyes! COME ON. \o/

Oh god.

I read that comment, specifically the part about George Washington shooting lasers out of his eyes, and now I have imagined an X-Men AU where he's Cyclops. Which lead to imaging the repercussions of Abraham Lincoln having a regenerative power, although I want to make that one Heroes because then he could be Kensei in disguise.

Excuse me while I go clean out my brain.

George Washington doesn't sleep. He lies in wait.

Didn't George Washington for real have stories of superhuman strength attributed to him? As in like Chuck Norris but more serious.
