And another one!

[coalcube]

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

Re: Requests ranking game - Farscape edition

I know! There was Aeryn on Farscape, Scully on X-Files (a couple of times!), Kara on BSG, Olivia on Fringe, I forget who all else....not that all of those shows were on at the same time but it was really a terrible trope. I just felt like screaming, "Enough! Stop it with the weird babies!" And so much fucked up stuff about women being sterile, too.

Yeah, I made myself a rule around then to immediately drop a show when it introduced one of those storylines, and never regretted anything except how many damn times it went into effect!

Syd on Alias also got her ova stolen, Gwen on Torchwood got a freaky alien pregnancy...it became an instant deal-breaker for my partner and me and we quit Sleepy Hollow when there was a demon pregnancy.

I blame lazy male showrunners who think they're being progressive avoiding outright rape but can't think of anything else dramatic to do with women that's not reproductive related.

I started telling people I'd only watch a show where someone got their ova stolen if someone also got their testes stolen. They always stopped recommending TV To me after that for some reason.

ALIAS, that's the other one I was trying to think of. God, that trope is so stupid.

Plus like four on Angel.

X-Files did that constantly with MOTW and arc storylines, too, not just Scully. I forget if it happened on Millennium, but I feel like it must have?
