So makesmewannadie just mentioned that on her browser, hearts (as in &-hearts-;) show up as vertical lines, and within five minutes or something she had found a fix.

*blinks at screen*

OH! So apparently, cursing the darkness: not always the best solution. *meekly implements easy fix* ♥ ♥ ♥ *stares at pretty hearts*

I don't know about this, you guys! The big pink vertical line of love has become a major part of my fannish experience! I don't know if I can just throw that away.

Oh, Heroes. I honestly think you must be the best show on television right now. And yet... the incest. Why must there be SO MUCH INCEST, Heroes? It is all over the place, oh my God! SIGH. Supernatural, too! That seems like it must be a good show, and Jared and Jensen are smokin', and I would totally bother with the fingers-over-my-eyes hiding-behind-the-couch thing to deal with the horror (me + scary = non-mixy things), were it not for the incest. I've gotten to the point lately where I frequently find myself directing petulant monologues at people about how I JUST DON'T LIKE INCEST, and yes, I feel like that is a valid lifestyle choice, and no, I couldn't deal with Last Will and Testament, either. I JUST DON'T LIKE IT, YOU GUYS. (At this point most people try and change the subject, often unsuccessfully.)

I think the problem is that I see the incest! My slashy little heart understands the chemistry! But I can't deal with it at all, because it is my hugest squick ever. (Maybe my hugest squick ever is actually, um, poo, or something, but that doesn't seem to come up that often, so we'll just stick with incest for now.) OT3s are something I'm not into, but I think I never really buy into the subtext as much as with incest so it doesn't bother me as much. Whereas with plausible incesty pairings, I just squiiiirm the whole time I'm watching, and Christ, forget reading fanfic. God damn it, awesome writers, actors, and fangirls! Why must you lead where I cannot follow?

P.S. Liking incest is a totally valid lifestyle choice too, I GUESS, JEEZ. But if you're a good writer and you're spending your precious skills on incest that I CAN'T READ, it will still make me sad a little bit in my heart. I'm not mad that people like incest, I'm mad that I don't and so I can't enjoy all the awesome writing that happens over in that neck of the woods. Which is not anyone's fault but GOD'S, that h8ter. Maybe we can still be friends, though? Especially if you write me some porn wherein the participants share minimal DNA? ETA: Share minimal DNA, while still being members of the same species. Oh, my flist, how often I underestimate you. *facepalms*
