My iPod has a mind of her own

[dragovianknight]

This morning on the way to work, I wondered why Dulcea kept playing songs that I'd never heard before. And then I remembered that I'd added some Xena fanmixes last week, and she was happily shuffling through those and ignoring the bajillionty other songs she knows. Which explains why I kept thinking, "Man, this would be an awesome song for a Xena vid!"

I keep thinking about Joxer, and why I don't like him. I mean, it can't be because he's an incompetent ass with an ego the size of a small planet, because that describes Darkwing Duck equally well, and I love Darkwing. And sometimes he manages to do things that make me want to pet him (defending a horse against someone who will wipe the floor with him and he knows it, because that horse matters to his friend, for example). But then he always turns around and makes me want to crack his skull with Gabby's staff, and I'm trying to figure out why I can't be all "LOL comic relief character let's slash him with Ares" like the rest of fandom.

(I also don't really like Salmoneus, but I can appreciate his entertainment value in a way I just...can't...with Joxer. Joxer I really want to erase from canon.)

I need to work on this "not getting enough sleep" thing, because I look like someone punched me in both eyes this morning.

Maybe because the guy who plays Joxer is Sam Raimi's younger brother and got the part because Sam was directing?

Just a thought.

Or maybe you liked him in Seaquest DSV better? No idea, and I am reaching...

Personally, I enjoyed his bit part in Army of Darkness where he had but one line and a large beard.

It's not Ted Raimi; I LOVED him in Seaquest DSV. It's just...Joxer.

Oh I see!

It's the song...isn't it? ^__^

The existence of the song is kind of adorkable; I intentionally tune out the lyrics because I don't want to go all RAGESMASH (and this being Joxer, I'm sure that would be my reaction).

God, Joxer/Ares

For the record? Speaking as someone who was running the main Joxer/Ares archive for a while? I've yet to find a single IC Joxer/Ares fic. Ever. There's even a bestiality one that I truly wish I could purge from my mind forever.

I doubt I could ever take Joxer/Ares seriously, because Ares is kind of an asshole, really, and I doubt he'd ever be able to take Joxer seriously, but I do want to see in Joxer what everyone else does! Because he is kind of popular, and also, he is in a fair chunk of season two, and hating him is making season two hard to watch.

Well, given the amount of beastiality in Greek mythology, I guess that's to be expected.
