I'm at AO3 now as Swords_And_Parasols. For those who only follow me at DW, "Of Swords and Parasols" been the title of my LJ for a few years.

I...do not know how much/if I will use it.

I am watching the Nancy Drew movies from 1938-1939.  They're fun, though I have some issues (like how George and Bess are gone and now Ned-renamed Ted-is her partner and how Nancy is more perky and bubbly and less shrewd and clever, but we'll discuss that another time).  Also, I keep getting distracted by Bonita Granville's resemblance to alyson Hannigan, though I think it's more that they have similar "cute' expressions than their actual features.

But, see this cap?  This is the menu for the second movie.

 

That expression!  I figure the conversation is going something like this:

Nancy:  Now Ted, I know you'll help me with my new case, right?
Ted:  Nancy, are you going to make me dress up like a nurse again?  Because I am a 1930s manly boy man, and my delicate masculinity cannot handle anything but strict gender binaries.
Nancy:  Now don't be silly Ted.  You were terrible at it.  No, this will just involve a lot of running and driving, and maybe some heavy lifting.
Ted:  Nancy, are you going to be so eager to chase down a clue that you forget about me and I have to chase down your car and dive in the backseat again, are you?
Nancy:  Would I do that to you?
Ted: Yes!

Also, years after first watching the first season, I'm finally watching season 2 of Kyo Kara Maoh.  Based on the flashback episode with Gwendal and Conrad's father, I have decided that the reason half of Gwendal's vocabulary is grunting is the fact that Anissina can read his mind based on two words.  Not having watched consecutive episodes in a while, I kinda forgot how incredibly cracky this show is.

And finally, many thank yous to whoever bought me paid time at DW.
