Olympic Musings!

[themostepotente]

Christ, the olympics are almost over with, and I haven't uttered a peep. But I've seen everyone gush over their favourites and comment in general, so I wanted to as well!

1.) USA hockey team = MADE of WIN. I'm from Detroit, so we Hockeytowners love the game unconditionally. This should be interesting to see who takes gold.

2.) Where is the Shaun White love? Okay, so he and Carrot Top were separated at birth, but Shauny's the king of halfpipe!

3.) Yes, Jonnhy Weir is wonderful but Evan Lysacek is REALLY WONDERFUL ♥

4.) I think snegurochka_lee had the right of things. I really think you need to be Canadian in order to appreciate Curling. DO. NOT. GET.

5.) Love Johnny Weir? Read wemyss's The Age of Gold. Also, Silver. Oh, and Bronze, Come to That. Most brilliant crossover ♥

6.) Where is the Apolo Anton Ohno love, too? I love watching him speedskate, and well, there's just something about a boy who can crack walnuts with his thighs <3

7.) Bobsledding FTW! It's been my favourite winter event since the tender age of six.

8.) In short, I think I enjoy the winter games that much more. Better events. Distractions in which to combat the doldrums of winter. And you won't find a bigger gathering of men who look delish in lycra. *G*

Recs in a bit!

Someone (who shall remain nameless) wrote a Snupin ice skating fic years ago, and it was positively HORRID. I think I have a very hard time envisioning a.) Snape on skates b.) Snape in a lycra jumpsuit c.) Snape doing a triple saukau (sp?)

Snape's just not the athletic type. It would take A LOT of convincing me on the author's part. Now, Harry/Draco...that I could see. And yes, it would be very Cutting Edge-y. TOEPICK!

I agree with you that Snape's not the type at all. I'm not usually one for outlandish AUs, but i think I could take a cutting edge snarry just because it would be pretty hysterical-- believable? No. But funny! I can just picture Harry complaining that he has to be the 'girl' in the pairing, and Snape pointing out that he's taller/stronger, and then, when harry contradicts him, Snape holds out his arms and goes 'you think you can lift me, very well, lift. Or something.

Harry/Draco would def. work too! ha.

It's a pity there won't be another Snarry Games. I could totally see the_con_cept doing a Cutting Edge parody for shits and giggles. Femme, too, could probably make it work. In a totally different way, of course. But not everyone could pull this off.

Agreed, I wouldn't even attempt it.
Personally I think Amand_r would do an awesome job with it too.
