One lab accident away from being a supervillain

Fangirls At the Water Cooler, Episode 33 (3/18/13)

In the real world (outside tumblr), fangirling is an activity that usually happens in private. In Lawrence, Kansas, two dedicated fangirls have found way to abuse their work instant message system to squee. These are their stories.

(Serious moment - Rachel and I fangirl and play games over instant message every day, and we've decided it's time to share our hilarity [insanity?] with the world. We'll post a conversation every day, alternating blogs [hers is a-bit-not-good-yeah.tumblr.com], and tagging the post as "Fangirls at the Water Cooler." I hope you find us as entertaining as we clearly do!)

Sarah: The author of this paper is named Kobayashi and I'm squeeing internally because I'm the biggest ever nerd

Rachel: Bahahaha I love it

Rachel Do you think their paper proposes a problem that is unsolvable?

Sarah: I wonder if his paper is about a test for Star Fleet captains.

Sarah: Yours was better

Rachel: Haha, thanks. I went the more general route

Rachel: *salutes* general route

***

Rachel [about the Dallas Supernatural con]: This con has lots of good people though--Mark Sheppard, Richard Speight Jr, Matt Cohen

Rachel: I would love to see all of them (in addition to the three boys, obvs)

Sarah: holy shit that makes me want to go even more

Rachel: Also Dick Roman, the girl who plays Becky, and Osric Chau

Rachel: OH AND MARK PELLEGRINO

Rachel: Can't believe I forgot him

Sarah: HOW CAN YOU FORGET LUCIFER

Rachel: I WAS SO IN AWE OF HIS PRESENCE

***

Rachel: OMG 98 DEGREES PLAYING ON MY IPOD

Sarah: Awesome.

Rachel: What the hell does this line mean: "Someone else who loves me and trusts me fast asleep"

Rachel: How do you trust someone fast asleep. What the hell does that mean?

Sarah: Like, when they're fast asleep, they trust you not to murder them and steal their car.

***

Sarah [on our friend Jean having only recently seen Wayne's World]: I mean, it's understandable in the since that he's from a foreign country, but that movie was kind of made for him I feel like

Sarah: *sense

Sarah: Fuck me running

Rachel: That movie is gold

Rachel: Also, that would be very difficult for anyone to do

Sarah: Yes it would

Rachel: ...I'm kind of waiting for Barney Stinson to pop up from somewhere and yell CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

***

Sarah: Oh dude Too Close (Alex Clare) just came on my iPod and I forgot how badass this song is

Rachel: That song makes me feel like I'm a fighter jet pilot every time I hear it

Rachel: A fighter jet pilot that is about to fly into the sun

***

Sarah [Optimistically thinking I'd finish my next story last Saturday...stil writing it]: I'm thinking about staying up and finishing it tonight/tomorrow when I wake up.

Sarah: It's really fucking sad.

Rachel: *whispers* like how sad?

Sarah: Not as sad as What Stays and What Fades Away was.

sarah: : I need a scale

Rachel: Ok. On a scale from Nine's regeneration into Ten to Alone on the Water, how sad will it be?

Sarah: It's Schmidt watching CeCe get engaged at he and Nick's party sad.

***

Rachel: AW YEAH "Blue" by Eiffel 65

Rachel: I'M BLUE DA BA DEE DA BA DIE DA BA DEE DA BA DIE DA BA DEE DA BA DIE

Sarah: I HAVE A BLUE HOUSE WITH A BLUE WINDOW

Sarah: BLUE IS THE COLOR OF ALL THAT I WEAR

Rachel: BLUE ARE THE TREES AND ALL THE STREETS ARE TOO

Rachel: I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AND SHE IS SO BLUE

Sarah [describing lenore_writing's supermegafoxyawesomehot Aidean story "Blank Canvas"]: They might have accidentally dumped some paint on the floor. And then kind of fallen in it. And then one thing may have led to another...

Rachel: Do you remember in Desperate Romantics when Rosetti was with that girl and there were handprints on her butt?

Rachel: Good times.

Sarah: That was awesome

Sarah: That whole episode was awesome

Rachel: TERRORLUST

***

Rachel: Bens have good butts, is what I've come to realize.

Sarah: People from the British isles just seem to have good butts

Sarah: Like, Tom Hiddleston's butt? That shit's gold.

Rachel: Ah yes, very true

Rachel: Michael Fassbender's butt, also very good

Sarah: I feel like I've seen Tom Hardy's butt somewhere. It was nice as I recall.

Sarah: They have these skinny, wiry men with so much junk in the trunk

Sarah: It defies natural law

***

Rachel [on preschool]: Empty refrigerator boxes are basically the TARDIS

Sarah: Pretty much. I'm sure if I'd have heard of Doctor Who it would have been the TARDIS. We probably would have tried to paint it blue and gotten in trouble. We were kind of little shits.

Rachel: Well you were in preschool

Sarah: Yes, but my friend Matt and I were definitely the ringleaders of all of the mischief. But we were really fucking cute so we got away with it all the time.

Rachel: I mostly just kept to myself. All I wanted to do was read.

Sarah: Aw, cute

Sarah: I wanted to watch the world burn

Sarah: Not really (But sort of)

Rachel: Did you give other kids rubies the size of tangerines??

Sarah: No. But I did shut Matt in the refrigerator box once and sit on the lid until he cried.

Rachel: ...

Rachel: So you've sort of always been skirting that supervillain line, then.

Fangirls at the Water Cooler, Episode 5 (1/30/13)

In the real world (outside tumblr), fangirling is an activity that usually happens in private. In Lawrence, Kansas, two dedicated fangirls have found way to abuse their work instant message system to squee. These are their stories.

(Serious moment - Rachel and I fangirl and play games over instant message every day, and we've decided it's time to share our hilarity [insanity?] with the world.

Sarah: Okay, I'm bored, so: FMK, Benedict, Ben, and Martin

Rachel: AAAAH why those 3. Shit. Ok. Marry Benedict. Fuck Martin. Kill Ben. (That really hurt my heart by the way)

Sarah: Mwahahahahaha. It's a new twist on evil asks.

Sarah: Evil FMK

***

Rachel: Ok, FMK: Aidan, Tom, Benedict

Sarah: *ugly crying*

Sarah: Shit, this is harder than it should be. Because loyalty says I should kill Aidan....but he is currently haunting my brain. I'm going to have to think for awhile.

Rachel: I'll wait here.

Sarah: Okay, this is going to be shocking, but I can explain: F Aidan, M Benedict, K Tom.

Sarah: Aidan is just at the beginning of his career, really, and is just now really getting famous, and is also REALLY HOT, so I couldn't bring myself to kill him. So...we'll try other things :-P. Benedict is a perfect human being, so I'm going to marry him. Tom is also a perfect human being, but almost too perfect, what with his perfect fucking face, so I'll kill him to save all of the ovaries (even though it's heartbreaking)

Rachel: Wow. Did not see that coming. I thought for sure it would be Marry Tom, Kill Benedict

Sarah: Benedict somehow seems more real to me. Tom is like an angelic creature that I can't touch

Rachel: Aidan was a clear frontrunner in the other category

Sarah: HIS FACE AND HIS VOICE HAUNT MY DREAAAAAAMMMMMS

***

Rachel: FMK: Zoe Saldana, Jennifer Lawrence, Alison Brie

Sarah: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sarah: I mean it's fine

Sarah: Dammit

Rachel: That was your first one for me! That was an evil one!

Sarah: I know, I'm not mad

Sarah: Just surprised

Sarah: And sad

***

Sarah: FMK: Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Wormtail

Rachel: HRRGHH. Um. Ok. F Bellatrix, cause at least she's in decent shape and I think if I cooperated with whatever her crazy kinks were, I'd make it out alive. M Wormtail because he's pretty cowardly so I don't think he'd really hurt me, and he's more sane than Bellatrix. We would have separate bedrooms. And K Voldemort, cause you know, he's super evil and snakey.

***

Rachel: FMK: Sherlock, Tenth Doctor, Castiel.

Sarah: OW. I deserve that. I really, really deserve that. But still OW

Rachel: Little bit, yeah.

Sarah: Sigh

Rachel: F: Sherlock still. I love him, but I would not want to be married to him. M: Castiel, because he's become so human and he's a big dork and he's sweet. K: The Tenth Doctor, because he got really dark by the end, and he's so lonely, I think it would be less cruel to kill him than either of the others.

Rachel: Oh snap. No more Doctor. The Earth is doomed.

Sarah: Sherlock or Castiel will save it

Rachel: Sherlock never saves the world

Sarah: He would if given the chance. Just to prove he could.

Rachel: It would be AWFULLY clever...

Sarah: The cleverest

Sarah: The Ood would sing the Doctor to sleep.

Rachel: WHY

Sarah: Because it's funny

Rachel: I think we should make a rule that we can't talk about the Ood at work.

Rachel: It's too cruel.

***

Rachel: Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers

Sarah: Oh, you BITCH

Rachel: Over. Reaction.

Sarah: *kiss*

Sarah: F: Tony Stark. Because I want to see if he lives up to the hype. M: Bruce Wayne. Because he is my first and forever superhero love. So...K: Steve Rogers. Poor Steve.

Sarah: I killed America

Rachel: Yeah, who's the bitch now.
