So today I wander into work and see a large Toys R Us box sitting behind the counter (for lo, I do not trust UPS to successfully find my house, as there are no street signs).

Bossman: How are you today?

DK: *busily opening box* I am here...and so is my Toys R Us box!

Bossman: What's in the box, GI Joes?

DK: *having just revealed shiny new Black Dragon and Sky Striker* Yes! How did you know?

Bossman: Well, it's you, and it's a box from Toys R Us. It had to be GI Joes or Transformers.

DK: ...Ironhide should be here tomorrow.

Which, apparently, translates into...wanting to write classic!T-cats fic. (I do expect this to change once we have more episodes.) There is a really good chance that if I write, it will be some sort of fusion in which Cheetara kicks ass and saves the boys kind of a lot. My levels of "Cheetara Cheetara CHEETARA!" are matched only by my levels of "I would jump Tygra in a heartbeat." Since I was never a Tygra girl, I find the latter rather...disturbing. (For the record, I would also jump Cheetara in a heartbeat, but that, I consider a given.)

Classic!T-cats was second to Classic!GI Joe in my younger days (I won't say childhood because I don't think high school counts), and yet I've never written GI Joe fic or wanted to, despite the level of awesome GI Joe Renegades reached. Likewise, no desire to write Voltron fic (actually, I think Voltron Force counts as "what happened next" Voltron fic, complete with OCs, and I mean that in the best possible way.)

(Meanwhile, I want ALL the Transformers Prime fic, even though my interest in G1 is...well, is limited to the fact that G1 is what most of the people I read, write. I'm sure I watched G1 because it was there, but truth is, I doubt I could pick more than a dozen characters out of a lineup. I feel somewhat guilty for this, like I'm somehow failing at fandom for liking the reboot instead of the original, rather than in addition to, but...hell, I came into Transformers through Beast Wars, I'm already the red-headed stepchild in this fandom.)

No, this post really doesn't have a point. It's late, I'm rambling, reboots are awesome, Thundercats needs to bring in Pumyra so I can write femslash. The end.

Edit: Today's [community profile] fic_promptly theme is "female characters." This may have been slightly relevant to my interests.

Edit2: Yeah, I pretty much could have kept going all night - I really don't joke when I say it's all girls all the time around here - but a) it's 1:30 and I have work tomorrow, and b), I think once you've prompted for a Blackarachnia vs Airachnid one-upsmanship competition, it's time for bed. It should be noted I really, really, REALLY want someone to write that for me, by the way.

So, like, in the new GI Joe movie the Joes have suits that basically make them the Power Rangers, huh? Actually, I find myself strangely okay with that. (I admit it, everyone else is hatin' and I'm sitting here going,"Yes, this movie is going to be awesome". Shiny things. Explosions. Ninjas! I ask for little more. I am a bad, bad fan.)
