So I'm watching Beauty and the Beast right now, three guesses why, and I can't help but notice what an asshole the Beast is. Spoiled, violent, tempermental creep. 'Every inch a monster', indeed.

And yet, I cannot help but think that the sorceress's idea here maybe was that he should never break the spell. I mean. He's violently tempermental and then you put him into this huge hulking form while everyone around him is now furniture. Furniture! If anyone really tried to stand up to him before, he could now crush them like so many matchsticks.

Also, musical numbers - an excellent way to skip character development, y/n? >:P I mean. He's yelling, she finally yells back, and the next thing we see he's all googly eyed. No sign of conversations, no ...nothing!

Also it bothers me that she is essentially expected to do the job of teaching him to be a decent human being that his parents clearly failed to. *sigh* Right now, she's teaching him to read. She's teaching a prince to read.

Wow. For all I like this movie, it also annoys the hell out of me. XD

As recompense for all that griping, have this - A Belle/Gaston story! ...no, seriously. I haven't gone insane! It's long and it's kind of complicated and it treats them both like people, with faults and good points, rather than a rather sneaky little princess (nosy much about the West Wing? Manipulating Cogsworth ring a bell? ...I knew there was a reason I feel this urge to slash her with Maleficent) and a nasty cardboard villain.

What? What?! I have to beat Challenges to get the secret reports I'm missing? Nooooo!

...eeem. Maybe later. I need a break. >>

( Crawling towards the end? )

And on that note, I really must sleep. @.@

( Sleep? When would I have time for that? )

And now to get ready for work. Bleah.

So I just spent an hour wrestling with Norton, trying to get it to let me use KoLmafia.

Until I finally gave up and just turned off Sonar, possibly permanently. *snarl*

( Meanwhile in the land of black coats )

( Nooo, not signs of the end. )

And thank goodness lj saves your drafts, I thought I lost that when Firefox decided to crash on me. x.x


And now continuing with the cooking of delicious lunch. mmm, pizza. <3


( part the second! )

( Screw the heroes, I'm with the villains )

Gah. Too hungry for further gaming, I needs fuel. And possibly to do the laundry.

Okay, I meant to be doing my usual commentary/squee and babble, but. I have been extra-sleepy and much overwhelmed with the awesome.
