I have no idea what's going on in that gif, but I like it.

Have you read the Avengers fic on AO3 that takes place in the Armored Adventures Universe? I just finished it, and it was really good.

Context is for the weak! And it's not like it actually makes Obadiah Stane staring into your soul in slow motion more or less magical.

Nope; I don't actively look for fic for that cartoon. Possibly because it's sort of an AU fic in and of itself and it does a pretty good job of fleshing out the characters on its own. :3

That was STANE? WHEN DID HE BECOME NEO?

[taiyou_to_tsuki.livejournal.com]

Strictly speaking it's not Stane, but a person disguised as Stane. XD Still, this is what it'd look like if Stane did become Neo. And CG-animated.

Speaking of which, I've seen a bazillion Inception AUs, but no Matrix ones? HMM. Why is that, I wonder. We should have ALL THE AUS. *Fistshake*

Fair enough. I suppose he'll always be Jeff Bridges to me

I'd write it myself, except I only saw the one Matrix movie, and it hurt my brain. Inception also hurt my brain, but I saw it more recently

[taiyou_to_tsuki.livejournal.com]

Jeff Bridges is also acceptable. Not that Obadiah Stane is a character I have a lot of emotional investment in.

... Is now when I confess I haven't actually watched either of them? I just know the concepts of the stories and am a sucker for AU fics. XD Particularly science fictiony stuff.

There is nothing wrong with that. I'm totally good with reading AUs set in universes I don't know. That's how I learn about them

[taiyou_to_tsuki.livejournal.com]

Pop culture by osmosis. A truly fascinating fandom phenomenon.

[ikira.livejournal.com]

I'm a prime example. Most of the fandoms I'm a part of, I haven't even seen or read the source material

[taiyou_to_tsuki.livejournal.com]

I sort of wish I could manage that, but I have an obsessive personality; plus I love meta, so half the fun of immersing myself in fandom is analysing the characters and story developments. Seeing as I seem to have an uncanny ability to get involved in fandoms with THE WIDEST RANGE OF SOURCE MATERIAL EVAR, including comics, that's not really a good thing (... I really, really don't want to know how much money I've spent on classic Doctor Who DVDs and audio plays the last couple of months only).

And I love reading your analysis of the characters and meta and all that good stuff, because it gives me ideas, and perspective, while I can still stay sort of objective. (plus I find it's a lot easier to avoid fandom wank if you're not too deeply immersed. I hate confrontation)
