Hi, I'm Sarah, 25. I write stuff. I read stuff. I hate bigots and pulpy orange juice, and I love otters, sleeping, and the following parts of pop culture (in no particular order): Avengers, Sherlock, Harry Potter, Dr. Who, Matt Bomer, Supernatural, Aidan Turner, Team Starkid, Batman, Loki, Community, Jon Stewart, people who make awesome fanart/fic, people who make shitty fanart/fic, Stephen Colbert, Ridiculously Photogenic Guy, photobombing animals, zombies, Jenna Marbles, The Hunger Games, Hannah Hart, The Hobbit, Being Human and, of course, you, tumblr.

 

Fangirls at the Water Cooler, Episode 27 (3/6/13)

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: How is work today?

Rachel: SLOOOWWW

Sarah: Well...there's always FMK

Rachel: ...There is always that.

Sarah: Bond, Q, John Watson

Rachel: Oh you bitch

***

Rachel: I'm sure you didn't see this coming--Richard, Dean, Aidan.

Sarah: Sigh. Yeah. I knew it was coming. It still hurts.

Rachel: I know it does.

Sarah: It's cool, I deserve it.

Sarah: Okay. Here goes.

Sarah: F Dean. The more I learn about him, the more I realize what a little saucebox he is, and I think it would be super fun. M Aidan, because that would still involve the first thing, but he's also such a bright, happy person and we'd have a good life together. So that means...

Sarah: *gross sobbing*

Rachel: SAY IT

Sarah: (I read that in the Harvey Dent/Two Face voice from TDK)

Rachel: (that is exactly how it was intended)

Sarah: *whispers* Kill Richard. I would have to kill Richard.

Rachel: Yeah, you would.

Sarah: It would be like Buffy and Angel at the end of season 2.

Rachel: But instead of going to work in a diner in L.A. you could just go home and fuck Aidan.

Rachel: That would probably take the edge off

***

Sarah: It's your turn

Rachel: I know I'm thinking.

Sarah: ENTERTAIN ME DAMMIT

Rachel: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

***

Rachel: Ass-kicking females edition: Lt. Uhura, Katniss Everdeen, Black Widow

Sarah: F Black Widow, because of booty. M Lt. Uhura, because she is badass but has a sensitive side, and i know she'd always provide for our family. And K Katniss, because while I love Jennifer Lawrence, girlfriend is a bit too young for me in that story.

Rachel: Ah yes, that is a good point. I sort of forget that Katniss is 17

Rachel: And that is called statutory rape and is frowned on in many cultures.

Sarah: Apparently not in Game of Thrones, though

Rachel: NOPE. Yeesh.

***

Sarah: IRISH EDITION: Michael Fassbender, Liam Neeson, Aidan Turner

Rachel: OH SNAP

Rachel: It's like an Irish car bomb for my lady parts. [No offense intended - it's the name of a drink]

***

Sarah: Ben, Benedict, Jensen

Rachel: JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL

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. 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: 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.
