All My Children: The Pretty, You Guys, The Pretty

Seriously! I mean, call me super shallow, which I admit totally to being but my first thought everytime Christina Bennett Lind is on screen is "pretty" because she so is. I got to admit the big brown tear filled eyes got to me today and I loveeeed the Kinks bonding and Marissa saying nothing Bianca could tell her would change her feelings for her and then her really not so subtle plea for Bianca to give her a reason to not give JR another chance.

Just, I love it so. And now I sort of want to write Bianca/Marissa fanfic that's slightly angst filled and has Bianca having a drunken one night stand in an attempt to forget about Marissa and Marissa catches them kissing goodbye the morning after and then gets jealous and is confuzzled about it and etc etc... drama. lol.

Anyway! Clips away. I'm so going to miss my soaps.

Oh Please please please write it, it's been forever since I've read any good Bink fics. I'm still reeling over your totally kinky Kink story as well as patiently awaiting a conclusion to the Bianca/Reese fic, though after the show crashed and burned all traces of what I loved about Reese, I'm not really that invested in her character anymore.

Anyway, I'll read any Bianca pairing you come up with.

Yeah, they killed Bianca/Reese all but good which doesn't give me much motivation to finish A Thousand Glimpses but I have to admit... I'm loving Bianca/Marissa so much. It's like an improved version of BAM and Sarah Glendening makes Marissa so fucking endearing.

The clip above is all about Marissa being super invested in Bianca and it brings me such joy because even if Marissa isn't aware of it she's totally falling for Bianca. When Bianca starts pulling away from her she'll probably go a bit crazy over it. I think I will write that fanfic because it'll just be a short little one shot.

Bianca/Marissa are all kinds of awesome but it really sucks to dangle another 'close friend who may turn out to be more', in front of Bianca only to have the girl run back to a guy. I'm having Maggie boffing Jamie flashbacks every time JR weasels his way between them. Hopefully since AMC is ending soon, Bianca will get the girl and keep her this time.

Well, the thing about Marissa is we don't know a lot about her character or background. It's possible she's been with women before. And with the recast they did a 180 in her characterization (mostly to make her romance with Bianca viable). In fact, the recast was for the Bianca romance.

I think with Agnes Nixon coming back to write the final storylines, in fact her storylines start up next week, Bianca will be fine. All the legacy characters should be fine, in fact. I can't see her ending her show in anything but a spectacular manner.

Really the only reason I compare Bianca/Marissa to Bianca/Maggie is the friends aspect. Marissa is much more touchy feely and open about her feelings for Bianca than Maggie ever is and spoilers seem to say that Bianca will confess to Marissa before the month is over. I'm almost 100% certain when she does Marissa will reciprocate.

As for JR... well, things with him and Marissa also by spoilers info will blow apart pretty soon. I guess he sleeps with Amanda and she finds out? Not sure. Today's episode implied that Marissa is more invested in the idea of having a family (which is understandable given her history) than being with JR. And she can have a big old Kane family with Bianca. lol.

Ooh, yes! Write it, please, please, please!! I'd totally read it. Totally. I've been able to find only a very small number of minx fics that are actually readable, and I want more. It's not enough. Please write it. I'd love you forever. And ever.

And I totally agree, CBL is frikkin' gorgeous. *sigh* So gorgeous. She needs to be in, like, every scene. Seriously.

There is a definite lack of Bianca/Marissa fanfic out there. I already have it plotted out. I'll probably write some of it tonight. It won't be very long. I don't much feel like writing epic stories these days.

Oh good lord Bianca, Marissa gave you about 20 blatant openings to admit how you feel.

[identity profile] dreiser.livejournal.com 2011-06-10 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Bianca seems to be stuck in the "Marissa is straight" mentality and she doesn't even want to go there which is why she's not seeing Marissa pretty glaring signals of interest. Today's show was big time proof of that. I suppose I can't blame her. She doesn't have the best luck in love.

Yay! Please write fic. I have been aching for some good Minx fic, and I love all your AMC fic. (I also have been stalking this journal for your clips and commentary. Sooo invested in this.)

[identity profile] dreiser.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
I have the fic plotted out and I already started to write a little of it. I'm throwing in old school references which I love to do with AMC fic. Such as the Kane/Montgomery's being banned from the Valley Inn and bringing back Bianca's previous fling, Leslie, for another one night stand.

I'm glad you're stalking! lol. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only person on LJ that cares about this couple. I like the idea I have lurking supporters. Makes me feel less sad and alone in my fixation. lol.

:D I'll try to de-lurk a little more often!

I'm really looking forward to the fic. All my interest in AMC sprang from reading your fic and then desperately hunting through youtube clips to figure out who these people are and what they're talking about. (For about three years I kept wondering why Bianca wasn't hooking up with Greenlee.) And the best thing is the complex history. So, the more history the better! :D

[identity profile] dreiser.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, well, honestly, if Greenlee should be with any woman on the show she should be with Kendall. At one time Kendall was ready and willing to be the surrogate for Greenlee's baby which would've made them so super gay. Not that you have to go far with them. Just YouTube Kenlee lotion fight and a bunch of Kenlee hilarity will pop up.

Definitely de-lurk more. I love to talk AMC with people.

And now I sort of want to write Bianca/Marissa fanfic right now that's slightly angst filled

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. OMGYAY! I need's me some fic on this so bad. The show really turned it up this week and I can't wait to see how this plays out. Some people have been complaining that the 'romance' has been too one sided, too much of Bianca's POV. Well I think we can all agree that definitely changed this week. Marissa is definitely falling under Bink's spell. I don't think she knows what it is yet, but 'there's something there that wasn't there before' *picturing dancing tea cups and candle sticks cheering on Binks and Marissa *

I don't mind that JR is going to give Marissa the music box because I have a sneaking suspicion that at the time she gets it something is going to prevent her from actually listening it until later and when she does she's going to figure out that Bianca was behind and that will be her 'ah-ha' moment. We shall see. Can't wait to read your fic. Here's hoping it'll turn into a multi-parter instead of a one-shot. I know, I know, I'm greedy, but only for things that matter. ;-)

I know, there's a big lack of Bianca/Marissa fanfic out there. I have it plotted out and I started writing a little for it. Hopefully I'll have it done by next week. I'm not sure how much I want to write for them while their relationship is in the works though. I'm sure once the show is over (extreme sad face) I'll release a deluge of Bianca/Marissa fanfic because I have a sad amount of faith they'll end up together.

Yeah, I don't think Marissa is going to open up the music box right away either. She'll probably do that when she's angsting over Bianca then the song plays and she figures out it was from Bianca and starts linking all the good things JR has been doing back to Bianca.

I sort of hate how they're writing JR right now. He's always been my favorite male character on the show. In particular, I loved him with Annie. I hope Dixie comes back soon so she can have scenes with him.
