Dynamic Duo

:)

Hello readerettes!
I am here to talk about me and one of my best friends/cousin, Seraphima Stoff. I have mentioned her many many times before, she is the one who introduced me to AtLA (Oh, nice addiction enabling there, missy!), she has appeared in Shila, and she is my own personal blog stalker.

She completely cracks me up. We talk on IM a lot... even though we live just a couple streets from each other

Here is one of our conversations (it's a bit lengthy, I found it hard to cut down :D)

"Sera: I want the shirt like Katara's wearing in my profile pic!!

Luthien: yeah!

Luthien : You could make it, but you might have to ask the artist for permission to use the design

Sera: Yeah...

Sera: After that comic I posted Aang has totally been redeemed

Sera: Old him is kinda hot

Luthien: dude, the only Avatar stuff that cafepress already has is stuff taht says 'I believe aang can save the world'

Luthien: LO

Luthien: holy fire nation - the cheapest shirt is 19

Luthien: dang it, why cant things be supah-cheap??????

Sera: I might like the one that says "I escaped the Boiling rock" or the "fire nation fugitive"

Luthien: yeah

Sera: *dripping with sarcasm*

Sera: I'm not sure I like them as a couple

Luthien: yeah... idk

Luthien: I don't hate it

Luthien: but it just seems weird, ya know

Sera: yeah...they look very brother-sisterly in this pic to me.

Luthien: yeah

Sera: But Aang Tohp to me, can't top that. Same As Sokki, Zutara, and Azet

Luthien: yeah, I figured out wahat it was! D

Luthien: and Azukka = wow!

Luthien: hahahahah

Sera: It would never happen ehnce 'crack pairing', but it's hilar

Luthien: yeah!"


See? We are completely random! And that isn't even close to the funniest. We are completely alike, and totally different!

In a recent post on her blog she outlined some of our likes and differences, rather unintentionally.

She says
"~I'm messy, and a hopeless hypocrite. While my stuff is piled around the house, and I never pick it up unless someone yells at me, I will still tell others to clean up. Maybe I'm not so much a hypocrite as a person who doesn't want other people to make my mistakes, yeah that's it!!"

That pretty much is the epitome of me as well.

Yet,

"~I am a walking contradiction: I have a dark look out on life, but am a fairly happy person, sure sometimes I can be very depressed and I am perpetually in a bad mood, but enjoy life. I cling to logic but I can't stand it, I have to do everything for myself, but depend on other people. I hate asking for help, but like getting advice."

I am pretty much what you see is what you get. Not to say I'm not deep or complex (well, lol, that sounds rather vain... and odd... anyway)
:)

We realized of late that we are very much like a few certain, rather well known, television and movie buddies. We like to call them Dynamic Duos :D

Mainly: Kirk and Spock.

ITS SCARY PEOPLE!!!

This quote right here -

James T. Kirk: [Spock volunteers for what could be a suicide mission] I'm coming with you.
Spock: I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
James T. Kirk: See? We are getting to know each other.
James T. Kirk: [slaps his shoulder]

Yeah, that pretty much defines us

Try this:

Luthien: [Sera volunteers for what could be a suicide mission] I'm coming with you.
Sera: I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
Luthien See? We are getting to know each other.
Luthien: [slaps her shoulder]

In fact, we quote that quite often.

Another one we are very much like is Holmes/Watson.

"Sherlock Holmes: [Holmes is staring at a jar of flies intently, picking at his violin] Consider this, Watson. I play chromatics...
[plays a chromatic scale, the flies ignore him]
Sherlock Holmes: and nothing. However, if I play a sixth chord...
[he changes chords, the flies start flying in circles]
Sherlock Holmes: they flies in counterclockwise concentric circles. I have created order out of chaos with music.
Dr. John Watson: [amazed] How did you know to do that?
Sherlock Holmes: Trial and error, Watson. I've been at it for six hours!
Dr. John Watson: And what happens when I do this?
[he opens the jar and waves the flies away] "

She would so do that. As would I...but... :D

And one I have just recently discovered: Shawn and Gus

I literally screamed out loud when I realized this. I mean... honestly I find them to be who we are most like (though Kirk/Spock is definitely contending. Really contending.)

Check out this post I found on IMDB about Shawn and Gus (The author was responding to a comment about how Gus was thought to be annoying)

"I may be biased when I say this, since Dule Hill is awesome, but Gus is the yang to Shawn's yin, both literally and figuratively. Shawn is loud, Gus is more reserved. Shawn is lazy, Gus is not. Shawn knows random pop culture facts, Gus knows random scientific facts. Shawn isn't scared easily, Gus does. Shawn breaks rules, Gus follows rules.

For someone as outlandish as Shawn, he needs a friend that will reel him in. And I think Gus has proven more times than not that he's always there for Shawn. I love it when Gus says "Shawn!" in that voice of his. He's that reluctant friend that gets dragged into crazy adventures and messes by his best friend. His reactions are hilarious, especially when he gets squeamish over dead bodies [or blood, cough Sera cough] or when Shawn says something that doesn't make sense at all. Even though he tries to be mature and responsible, deep down, he's a man child just like Shawn. He just fights it more often, which makes his character that much more lovable.

And as the seasons have gone on, what I like about Gus is that, he isn't always being dragged to a case by Shawn anymore. He's pretty much fully on board with the agency and the gig. I think in season 3's season finale, An Evening with Mr. Yang, pretty much proves my point. Shawn needed to levitate the tension and pressure - usually he's the one to provide the outlandish comic relief - and Gus provided it. How can you not love "I want pancakes. Who wants some pancakes? Whipped butta, maple syrup, what!" or "guess who I am? hee hee!" or "I'm King Kong Raaaah!"

In "Death is in the Air", I love that Gus actually replies to Shawn (because I'm not sure he would have in season 1):
"Spencer One to Ground Control."
"We read you loud and clear Spencer One!"

The episode with "Shawn gets the Yips," I love that he agrees to compete with Shawn on who can get more screen time on TV and Lassie has to yell "Knock it off!" to them. [for real... we've done that before.]

And in that episode where Warren Clayton gets murdered and Shawn and Gus have to infiltrate the Country Club, I love how Gus answers a question by one of the golfers: “I had no idea psychics did so well.”
Shawn: “Most don’t.”
Gus: “Some do.”
Shawn: “Many try.”
Gus: “Few can.”
Shawn: “I have.”
[^that too, though perhaps not talking about psychics ;)]

Without Gus, Shawn can't come up with ridiculous nicknames for him like Ovaltine Jenkins or say lines like "Gus, don't be a ...." or get fooled into helping Shawn as in the case below when Shawn makes a note to himself.

Shawn: “Gus, note to self. Remember 1600 Joshua Lane.”
Gus: “You can’t give me your note to self, it’s a note to yourself.”
Shawn: “Fair enough. At that moment, Shawn found himself alone. Unable to face the journey ahead.”
Gus: “You can’t do your own omniscient narration, either.”
Shawn: “Let’s see what’s at 1313 Mockingbird Lane.”
Gus: “That’s the Munsters’ house, it was 1600 Joshua Lane.”
Shawn: “Thanks, note to self.”
[^yeah, I can see us doing that too... though we haven't yet.]"

Um yes. Who else can understand me when I say, "OMG would the offspring of Zutara have blue eyes? because you know... their kids might be my age, and don't you think their progeny would have both Zuko's AND Sokka's qualities? Ya know, since Sokka and Katara are siblings..."
or
"Ok, I'll be that girl Cam reconnected with at his HS reunion that he really liked, I think her name was Amy, and um, Vesper. Even though she died. Cause JB really loved her... she totally made him emo. And you can be Katara and Sha're, cause If I have to die, you have to."
or
"Lets bake! But lets not use sesame oil, ever. Even if it calls for it, we'll stay far far away from the sesame oil."

No-one else, that's who!!

:)

Ok, i'll admit it! We made a list. Of dynamic duos that we are like...

:D

check it out



Um, yes. For real.

*sigh* I do believe this is one of the largest posts I've ever written!!

(I probably should have been continuing Shila... oh well!)

[Next up on bff spotlights... Mia. The post will be equally large, random, and confusing :D)
