Fandom: Sons of Anarchy

escritoireazulI am maybe in denial that the season ends next week, so I haven't watched the most recent episodes. But there's been a lot of growing Sons of Anarchy love on my flist, and I want to join it. Despite some of my issues with it, I think SoA is my favorite television show right now. (Well, I'm also enjoying Castle and Bones, but not in the same way. For example, I want to blog my reactions to SoA and usually watch Castle and Bones while writing and without the fandom interaction.)
So have some SoA love and I hope a lot for my tv boyfriend, Opie.
Opie is starting to doubt Clay, too, I think. <3
Jax is checking on my tv father in law! And breaking the news about him going nomad. And Piney is finally calling Jax on not actually making things better.
Hee. Half angry manifesto, half MC love letter. And this is why the book and the dead father were my absolutely favorite characters from the beginning of the series.
I suddenly want to write the characters as werewolves. And then I realized I pretty much am, elsewhere. I love my writing life so much.
Dude, Piney, if you weren't hiding, you'd know that it's likely your son will be Clay's new right hand.
And will SOMEONE PLEASE FUCKING TELL OPIE THE TRUTH? PLEASE?
UNF TV BOYFRIEND IS SO HOT. And his friendship with Jax and being so honest about his critique of Jax's actions and - god. TV BOYFRIEND IS AWESOME.
(Father died on 580 sixteen years ago. Just need this for, uh, potential fic purposes. I guess. I don't even know anymore.)
Avatar exclusive look! I have issues issues issues about this and the premise that the disabled character then gets an able body and the colonization and what we need here is a honky, etc., but OMG NEW MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ MOVIE AND HER GRIN. Maybe she will not die in this one. MAYBE.
God, why does this gorgeous movie with Michelle Rodriguez have to have such a shitty, shitty, shitty premise?
God, my girl is gorgeous. Just for the record.
YAY. I love when the boys bond and huge and slap each others' backs. SO MUCH LOVE FOR THEM BEING A CLUB and FRIENDS and just AWESOME.
God, Tara, your boss is an asshole. People judge bikers pretty hard with their exuberance and leather and shit. I run into this a lot when out with my riding group.
I had a moment where I was worried about Prospect's balls. Then I shook my head.
Oh, Chibbs. Damn it. You're going to get yourself either killed or arrested and take the club with you.
I love how everyone so casually points gun in this show. Love it so much.
HEE! Chibbs calling Jax on not having any say if he goes nomad is HILARIOUS. Also, Chibb's little strut makes me happy. In my pants. The accent too.
TV BOYFRIEND. <3
Agent Stahl gets to be hot and intimidating and manipulative. God, it's hard. I want someone to put a bullet in her head for what she set into play for Donna (who was my tv girlfriend, obviously), but also I love when she gets all evil and manipulative and eye-fucking Gemma. Let's have that again!
Tara's hair is looking lovely and dark. Has she dyed it darker? UNF.
Hahahaha. Everyone's calling Jax on his plan to fix the club by leaving it. And also making the decision without her. I love her. That's a really good point.
OMG I want Tara and Gemma to be their own club. I'll come join it!
Oh, Opie. <3 How hard for you to repossess someone's car when you and Donna just dealt with that not long ago. I love you, tv boyfriend.
And by beads she meant bullets. Awesome. I want to weave with bullets.
UM, Tara and her CAR. I want to make out with her.
Hahahahahaha. Jax, you dumbass. Of course Tara was going to tell Gemma. Not that you know how close they're getting.
Gemma teaching Tara about the club continues to be one of my favorite things and also OMG GEMMA YOUR SHIRT. I kinda want to bite all that exposed skin.
Oh, Chibbs. <3
I think I've reached the point with this show that I am in love with it and most of the characters. Like, unbelievably in love with it.
Jax and Gemma. <3<3<3 One of my favorite things about this show is the various relationships, especially familial relationships. Created families. <3 GEMMA. I love you so much.
OMG YAY backstory on John's death! I've wanted this from episode one!
God, if she really believes that John hated his life and let the road take him, how must that feel in the moments when she's fragile, in those spaces where her armor doesn't quite cover. Gemma. <3
I am kind of bored by the gun running story, even as much as I like Chibbs. I don't know why.
Randomly: I need another tattoo, and this show is really driving that home.
Oh, Tara. You're in trouble now.
God, this show pushes my created family buttons SO HARD.
Need more tv boyfriend, please.
God, Stahl, if you get more people killed I will be PISSED.
CHIBBS. Protecting his families. OH CHIBBS.
(I, uh, love his scars. A lot.)
Opie and Clay kicking back and drinking beers together is way more hot than it should be. UNF.
TV BOYFRIEND!
Ron Perlman's voice makes me feel raw in such a good way.
OMG ADORABLE BABY THERE. Apparently babies get cuter to me when you put a little hat with a motorcycle on it on them. Huh.
As funny as I find Prospect and Asshole (I'm obviously not over Donna's death) tripping on mushrooms, maybe it's not the greatest idea to let the guy who's already feeling guilty trip. I'm hoping for a trip gone bad.
YES! GET NAKED TV BOYFRIEND!
Also, that camera angle made him look huge. I appreciate that.
You know, while I appreciate naked women, too, I have seen enough naked Jax. I deserve naked Opie. GODDAMN FADE TO BLACK.
(He can't be on his and Donna's bed. Oh, tv boyfriend. <3)
Jax is actually asking for Clay's opinion? DUDE.
There is something about Ron Perlman's jawline that I really like. It reminds me of Vin Diesel's. I've always wanted to figure out what it was that made me like it so and now that there are two of them, I really want to know. UNF.
Gemma, you get more beautiful each scene.
Opie gets more and more covered-up this season. I like the visual representation of how he's not dealing with internal issues. <3
The look that passes between OPIE and JAX. <3
Oh, Chibbs. To come out of the hospital and have to deal with all this shit they were keeping from you.
THEIR FACES when he's cutting off the patches. THEIR FACES. Sometimes these actors do amazing and amazingly subtle things.
Tara's fingers on the empty spot. Oh god. And offering him a vacation. Oh god.
GEMMA. JESUS FUCK GEMMA. I don't even know what Katey Sagal does to show all that inner strength but it is amazing.
Jesus fuck Stahl. YOU MUST REMIND ME OF YOUR LITTLE TRICK THAT GOT DONNA KILLED. I hate you.
GEMMA. <3 OMG GEMMA. Gemma and Tara. Gemma and Clay. Gemma and Jax. And Tara's face as she watches Gemma.
OH JESUS FUCK. PINEY.
God, I do not know if I can watch Gemma tell this story.
Called it with Tig. Duh.
Opie's rings. <3
God, Katey Sagal, you are amazing.
And Clay's face. JESUS. Gemma's eyes. Clay rubbing his mouth. Jax holding Gemma's hands.
THIS SHOW. <3,3,3
Oh god, and touching Clay's shoulders, and their hands, and Tara and Gemma and their looks.
Clay touching Gemma and the way they lean together.
So the episode where Donna died I bawled. The whole show hit me hard and I was having some mental issues anyway, but that episode just laid me bare and raw. I don't think J. knew what to do with me, it was such an uncontrollable and unexpected reaction.
This episode has broken me wide open but in a way that just makes me ache, both with pain and with awe.
I hated the beginning of this plot, but god, have they handled it well.
Oh show. I actually can't watch another episode, I just want to be left with the end of this one for awhile.
I do not have an appropriate icon for this.
Despite all the flaws, this is totally my favorite show. I lay this completely on Katey Sagal, Ron Perlman, Charlie Hunnam, and Maggie Siff. Especially Katey Sagal who is an unbelievably subtle actor at times. God. That last five minutes or so is one of the best scenes I've ever watched.
So have some SoA love and I hope a lot for my tv boyfriend, Opie.
Opie is starting to doubt Clay, too, I think. <3
Jax is checking on my tv father in law! And breaking the news about him going nomad. And Piney is finally calling Jax on not actually making things better.
