Happy San Jacinto Day linkspam

Happy San Jacinto Day, Texans! Here, have some miscellaneous links that have been piling up in my notes:

The Broccoli Test returns
A revival of the classic meme (an explanation is linked if you're unfamiliar) with analysis of three newer slash couples - Dean/Castiel, Neal Caffrey/Peter Burke, and Arthur/Merlin.

conversation I had with Lindsey about Damien Lewis and Doctor Who

Tomorrow When the War Began trailer
OMFG I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVIE. (Basically: Australia is invaded and a group of teenagers who were camping at the time fight a guerilla campaign against the invaders.) And fandom should be excited, too! If the filmmakers even *vaguely* follow the books, they'll star an intelligent, brave, unbelievably (but believably) tough girl who blows shit up in creative ways, falls in love and lust in the middle of fighting a guerrilla war, and manages to keep her friends together and fighting through it all. Ellie is a fucking badass, y'all.

Speaking of awesome ladies, a gorgeous, sweeping female character picspam
The ladies herein are amazing - not just kickass, but flawed, intelligent, complex, cheerful, strong, funny, sexy, ambitious, kind. I recognized most of them, but ended up wanting to meet the ones I didn't. Let's just say my Netflix queue grew a bit the day I saw this post ;)

Ooh, the trailer looks really good! :D I'm pretty excited - I have the Tomorrow series sitting on the bookshelf behind my computer right now. Oh man, reread time?

And that picspam was made of awesome.

I need to buy copies, myself. I think I read them all at the library first time round, except for The Night is For Hunting, which I have in hardback. *hands*
