yuletide yuletide yuletide!

[meretricula]

let us ignore the moronic wank and focus on the joyous fact that FOOTBALL RPF IS OFFICIALLY ELIGIBLE. oh god I don't even know what to ask for. I mean, Zlatan and Maxwell, bros 4 lyfe? bb Silva settling in at Man City, getting babied by Carlos Tevez? Zlatan + Barcelona midgets in happier times, generally goofing off and being ridiculous? Patrice Evra, Park Ji-Sung and Carlos Tevez bonding despite linguistic difficulties at ManUtd? an actual Goldilocks and the Three Bears AU with Fernando Torres as Goldilocks (come on, it's so apt) and Pepe, DVilla and Fernando Llorente as Papa, Mama and Baby Bear? BARCELONA BABY DREAM TEAM? Xavi and Iniesta, footballing soulmates? Barça Lolita slutting it up with lots of older men? David Villa visiting Pepe in Liverpool for New Year's (THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED OMG I JUST READ AN INTERVIEW WITH DAVID AND HE TALKED ABOUT IT BROTP 4EVER)? Victor, Pepe and Miniesta in the academy years, complete with Pepe's snoring keeping everybody up at night (THIS ALSO ACTUALLY HAPPENED GOD I LOVE MY FANDOM)? Pep and Figo somehow get a happy ending? Barcelona locker room shenanigans? TOO MANY OPTIONS.

seriously kicking myself for not thinking to nominate RPF - Spanish athletes. could have asked for the Spanish NT gangbanging Rafa after the World Cup. come on, I can't be the only one who wants it. XD

also? Questionable Content is on the list. the Tequila Monster is one of the characters. this could be good.

I don't even know what to offer. IS IT YULETIDE YET?

ETA: can't believe I didn't remember this before posting. THE BARÇA LOLITA FINALLY SCORED!!! (hahaha at the fact that Leo apparently pouted at Pep until Pep agreed to let him play. and then gave Bojan that goal. it was totally a gift, let's not kid ourselves, but hopefully he'll feel more confident and start kicking ass the way we know he can!)

Haha, do NOT apologize, I could go on about this subject for AGES. I fully admit that my liking for Alex is at least a little bit a reaction against the dislike that fandom as a whole seems to have for her, but the determination to constantly write Alex as this bitch-on-wheels who's wrecking the pure and true love of Stevie and Xabi is just ridiculous, c'mon. Even if you think she embodies every stereotype about WAGs, nobody is ever just a stereotype. (And actually, in all the stuff I've read about her, Alex has actually come across as quite sweet, and hello, Steven apparently likes her enough to marry her, so whatever fandom, y'all can just bite me on this one.)

Hah, okay, all those reasons you listed off can also bite me in the ass. That actually kind of touches on my biggest peeve, which is--okay, I LOVE pining fic. I do. But there's a way to write it so that the person who is pining doesn't come off as a martyr, like, you have CHOICES, okay, and maybe all those choices suck, but they are there. And for real, Fernando as the villain? For...making a good career move? For marrying his childhood sweetheart and starting an adorable family? C'mon now. Like, I know I am still a newbie, but it kind of astounds me that nobody yet seems to have written Pepe/Nando. (They're next-door neighbors. Pepe Reina is awesomesauce. HELLO PEOPLE.) God, at the rate things are going, I am basically going to have to request football rpf for Yuletide JUST so I can get some decent Stevie/Nando fic w/o any bashing of the WAGs. (Or if I'm feeling really ridiculous, fic about Theo Walcott hero-worshipping Cesc Fabregas and Cesc being kind of amazed since it wasn't that long ago that he was hero-worshipping Xavi and Puyol and Pep back at Barcelona. And possibly there are makeouts, IDK.

yeah, pretty much. the rage against Mesut Ozil's gf (they have since broken up) was even worse, and I just. argh. I don't know this woman! you don't know this woman! but can we please not just assume she is a hell-sent bitch! (corollary: can we also please not assume that she is some heaven-sent beard who is totally okay with being cheated on because her husband is ~in love with one of his teammates. I'm sorry. cheating on your wife is a dick move and if I were her I wouldn't give a shit about the gender of the other party. nobody is that nice. Alex in this fic (http://dorkorific.livejournal.com/79386.html) gives me hope for the future.)

the lack of Pepe Reina fic is a CRIME. (though haha you know me basically I think that he and David Villa have a platonic marriage and have decided to make Fernando Llorente their lovechild. but uh porny Goldilocks and the Three Bears story with them and Torres? I wasn't kidding about that, yes plz so very much.) mmm Pepe helping Fernando ~settle in at Liverpool. just making sure he feels at home, you know. XD looooool you know I'm going to try to enable you on football fic! I am the wrong person to go to if you don't want to be enabled! DO IT.

Cheating on your wife is totally a dick move. Which is probably why, in every story I've started, Steven and Alex have an open marriage (not to mention, Alex actually gets lines in the fic) but it's not like, "Oh, I'm totally cool with our marriage being a sham and lie!"

How, how, HOW is there not more Pepe Reina fic? Heee, somebody has got to write--oh no. The last time I said this (when I was talking about Stevie/Nando) I ended up starting a fic on that very subject. No, seriously. Godddd, cannot believe I'm writing footie fic. (But Pepe and Fernando would be adorable together!)
