1. Gun porn moment: The New Kahr P380. Yeah, small, better for concealed carry, but what about the recoil? The last Kahr I test-drove packed more punch than a .45. And also: The Glock 22 RTF .40. RTF=ROUGH TEXTURE FRAME. I think I might be a little in love. Just a smidge. Glock had to invent a new word for the texture: "polymids". Oh Glock, don't ever change. Still, too big, probably for my hand or concealed carry. But: Glock!

Yes. I might have purchased the Combat Handguns magazine at the store. And also Special Weapons for M&P. What?

NO NO WAIT. Y HALLO THAR, LOVER. I don't even know what I would DO with it, but I want it. I want it badly. IT LOOKS LIKE THE LASSITER, FROM FIREFLY.

2.

ithildyn has asked a few hard questions, and I aim to answer them in a convoluted manner!

1. If you write fic, do you ever feel as if you need to go with popular fanon when you write or do you stick to canon as you see it as much as you can?
2. As a reader, do you prefer to read fic with familiar fanon content, or do you prefer more canonical fic?
3. What are some fanon/canon things in your fave fandoms? Which ones do you hold true in your personal fanon canon and which ones make you twitch?

1. When do we establish what is fanon? Like I have my own personal fanon. I'll use TW: In my personal fanon, every time they get Indian food, they get jilebi, because Ianto likes them. It just keeps popping up. Now it’s a running gag for my brain. In my fanon, uhm, in Highlander, Methos rents his flat in Paris from Madame Oudinot, a little old lady with white hair up on her head in braids, who is a little senile and often thinks that Methos is her dead son, Jacques.

I guess we would have to get more outside personal fanon then, to like, I guess the fact that Methos throws the bottlecaps behind the fridge is fanon, right? And that he doesn't pay his bar tab, right? Or…help me out here. I use it if it works, if it's funny. IME, most fanon things are small, so I usually don't notice them.

2. Oh if it works, then it works. I don't mind Methos tossing those bottlecaps behind the fridge as long as it's not excessive. I think sometimes good fanon can be played like fanservice. That's really what it is: our in-jokes and things. And they can be done so well.

Of course, in the hands of evil, even this jilebi can turn sour.

3. See above and shit. What I really want are examples. I'm trying hard to think of them. Really hard.

3. I HAVE COUNTED TO THREE SO MANY TIMES IN THIS POST I DON'T KNOW WHAT NUMBER I'M ON.

4. I cut mah bangs. I cut them too short and am now sporting some

IN JAIL! Haaahahha.

The fanon thing - I try an avoid it. Cause usually what it means is some fanfic writer has done something and every other fan fic write says "yeah that works!" when in reality it might or might now when confronted with canon. Plus, sometimes it's just annoying (thinking of certain never used pet names for Jack by Ianto as one example.)

The bangs thing. I've done that. Fortunately, hair grows and they shove to the side pretty well, which gets rid of the I HAVE FRINGE look.

Yeah, but sometimes I fine small things in fanon useable and amusing. Pet never have not ever, nor will they ever, be amusing and or IC.
