franklin_bashAaaaaa, hello. It's April. April is hardly ANY months away from Season 2. It's really almost now.
I've been a bit absent from internet for the past week or so, which is why I've been terrible at commenting, and I might easily have missed stuff, but F&B are just all over the internet this week, so let's try it:
Firstly MPG and Breckin hosted the college tv awards, GOD BLESS THEM. There was one brilliant tweet that said, "Gonna put some Franklin up in this Bash", which made me go 'huh what wait, what?' when MPG retweeted it. That was nice.
Here they are on the red carpet casually thinking about getting married in vegas:
And here they are presenting:
kDSOFoisdjflskdhfowekjfsdf. I HAVE ALL THIS LOVE. Don't do drugs.
They also show up introducing Anna Paquin and Parker and Hardison from Leverage and Robert David Hall and Geena Davis and (maybe most beautifully) Cat Deeley. Some of those are just reading out who people are, some are pretending to be drunk. I don't know how well they were going down, or if people knew who they were? Do college students still care about Clueless? Or even SBTB? Why isn't the whole audience just screaming with love for them? I don't know. Anyway. They might show up other times as well, I've not had a chance to watch all of it but those were the ones I noticed.
There were some pictures of them backstage:
::random noises of my death because mpg is fixing breckin's tie or whatever, so easily easily pleased I know::
And pictures of them presenting, from the Leverage clip above:
Then, if we go back in time a bit, there's this, which is a dual advert for Franklin/Bash and Rizzoli/Isles, a TNT double bill on Tuesday nights:
I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM. I love "Jared Franklin, Attorney." "Peter Bash, At Law." They make the worst things just sound LOVELY. Also they are BEAUTIFUL.
And as well as the advert there are pretty pretty photos which are grainy, I don't know why. If you click on them they are bigger, much much bigger, if only that were true of everything in life:
I like that they have paired them with women according to hair colour. Although obviously I like even more that they're still happier just with each other.
(There are a couple more pictures here, mostly of R&I, but Peter's neck is in one, and Jared's blurrily there.)
And the other things is this little video of Malcolm McDowell, who has been asked to show us around the 'small courtroom' which is basically just a small courtroom with not a lot to see. But he does his best:
Argh, I can't make it embed, it's here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=303519563050958
Have another picture of MM getting his hollywood star instead:
And that's it, I think. I'm off to Eastercon (a four day UK sci fi convention) this weekend, leaving early tomorrow, so if I don't answer comments that'll be why. (If I do answer comments it'll be that I'm ignoring convention, because the internet is better than real life people. And Eastercon this year seems to be full of (1) authors I hate, and (2) authors I have sent really embarrassing fan letters to at ill-advised times of the morning. So I suspect hiding will be a strategy.)
Even though I might not be here to hear you, you should share your thoughts! About Franklin and Bash. Or not them. Other people! Whatever! Yes.

Date: 2012-04-04 06:42 pm (UTC)Thanks to that red carpet interview, I now totally want an episode(/fic) where Peter and Jared get drunkenly married in Vegas. It needs to happen!
Have fun at Eastercon!

Date: 2012-04-04 07:01 pm (UTC)that tweet, seriously?!
It was like they were genuinely sad about the lack of Jared topping fic. Which is something we need to work on, I get that.
ALL THE DRUNKEN MARRIAGES. I have such a thing for them getting married. But I think especially drunkenly in Vegas would be nice, and I was thinking mostly fic but they could totally make that work as an episode. If they tried.

Date: 2012-04-04 07:16 pm (UTC)Once I've got my time machine working I'll give you a call. And my invisibility cloak. That way we can just go back to the night of the award ceremony and sneak in without actually having to do any of the work.
they could totally make that work as an episode. If they tried.
Yes, if they really wanted to make us happy, they'd find a way. But I'll settle for a fic. And more top!Jared, if all the wonderful writrs on here would be so kind.

They could totally make it work in an episode. It could be an ep where the Infeld Daniels team has to go to a lawyer conference (cause they totally have those... to learn new lawyering tricks) in Vegas, and while there F&B have to defend a couple that claims that this one wedding chapel won't marry gay couples, and the chapel is like 'oh, we totally do... just not your clients... for other reasons' but it's such a lie and so Jared and Peter have to go undercover to prove that they can't get gay married. But, it turns out that they can, and did, and it's kinda awkward for a while, but then they figure that they can totally cash in on this and get a new blender or a set of fancy plates as wedding gifts and since all their legal papers (like wills and mortgage and things) have each other as the other half... it's easier to just stay married, cause they're basically married already.
That's a perfectly feasible episode for them to make. If S2 doesn't end with them getting married (and Bear being the ring bearer... which is a pun that Jared would so point out) I'm gonna be so disappoint.

Also I sort of like the idea of them casually arranging a divorce, because obviously they're going to get divorced because they only got married by mistake and in no way was it a sign of their subconscious UTTER LOVE AND ROMANTIC FEELINGS to each other. But then they start thinking about it and divorce is like suggesting that they're not going to be together FOREVER or that they don't love each other MOST and they start to feel really strange about it, and kind of look at each other when they get given the papers to sign and neither of them want to say anything first, but they manage to put it off without really acknowledging why, and then just ignore it FOREVER and just stay married without thinking about what that means.
I LOVE THAT YOU GOT BEAR INTO THE WEDDING ON A PUN. ::TWIRLS YOU::

Date: 2012-04-06 09:08 am (UTC)::is twirled:: ^_^ I'm glad that the inclusion of Bear and puns is twirl-worthy, instead of being groan-worthy (most people don't enjoy a good pun... with or with out the inclusion of a manifestation of a characters deep seated issues that possibly results in tragedy)
no subject
Date: 2012-04-06 04:14 pm (UTC)But on the other hand, yes. That would be amazing, and Peter would have to buy him a grave with a plot for him next to it, and just refuse to let anyone say that was weird, and a dual gravestone with an ampersand between them because THEIR LOVE IS AMAZING AND FOREVER.
I am very much in favour of puns. And Bear.
no subject
Date: 2012-04-07 05:54 am (UTC)But, oh gosh, yes. They would be FRANKLIN & BASH forever. On granite. And underneath their names would probably be one of those ridiculous phrases that TNT uses in their ads, like... 'Ripping the law a new one... in heaven.' with little lawyer angles and girls in bikinis carved on the stones. Because that's how Jared would have wanted it.
...now I kinda really want an episode where Peter dreams that it's like, 60 years in the future and that Jared dies and he has to plan the funeral and everything, and then he wakes up, and Jared's there, and it's all okay and Peter's like 'It was horrible, man! I had to pick out a gravestone for you!' and Jared's like 'I dunno... that gravestone sounds pretty awesome. We're going to have to look into that.' and that makes Peter feel better because now he and Jared can pick out their stones together. And Carmen and Pindar are listening to this and both agree that it's kinda creepy, but Peter and Jared don't care what they think.
...maybe Peter dreams that whole marriage/divorce/life/death thing. Because he's having issues with Jared and Bear being a thing.
This season will never live up to our ridiculous expectations for it.

Date: 2012-04-04 09:30 pm (UTC)I'm at my office right now and supposed to look professional in case a student comes in (EVEN THOUGH THEY WON'T, EVEN THOUGH THEY SHOULD BECAUSE GOOD GOD A FEW OF THEM NEED HELP BEFORE THEIR FINALS, BUT NOOOOOOOO) so I can't watch the videos yet. Delicious anticipation for when I get home.

Date: 2012-04-04 09:48 pm (UTC)A pwp that I would LOVE AND ADORE, just so you know.
I don't know whether to hope that students come and see you, for their sake, or to hope that they don't so you can do happier things. But either way the videos will be there for you when it's all over. Why can't they make them go and be in love with each other and smile for a while EVERY WEEK? That would be loveliest.

Date: 2012-04-09 03:37 pm (UTC)Ohhhhh,the prettiness!!! I loved Breckin pretending to be tall and trying to convince people of it!
I also liked the call back to the season finale on that promo:
'Are you seeing anyone?'
'Do dead people count?'
'Not to me'
Peter wouldn't have answered that, he would run to the car and wait for Jared to take him home!
I WANT IT TO BE JUNE!!
no subject
Date: 2012-04-10 12:32 pm (UTC)Oh, there was so much flailing at that picture of them getting ready for the awards. I mean, MPG's practically grooming Breckin! And I like the thought that they were together again now that they're no longer filming season 2.
And the speed dating promo was just adorable. I want speed dating fic because the idea of the two of them trying to pick up women together is just brilliant. In fact, I'm currently in the process of hurling plot bunnies at someone until they write it for me... But there is always room for more F&B fic in all our lives!
I ALSO WANT IT TO BE JUNE!!

Date: 2012-04-13 09:15 am (UTC)OLSIDKHFoiuwojeksldf. Is ANYTHING prettier than men fixing each other's ties and whatever? OH GOD they should just ALWAYS touch, why sometimes are they not touching?
I hope your bunny hurling results in fic, oh man we need all the fic.

Date: 2012-04-13 09:13 am (UTC)I love Peter's hate for corpses.
I LOVE THEM, WHY ISN'T IT JUNE? I know they're being kind and being everywhere, but theyr'e not being Peter and Jared and I miss them SO MUCH. I keep rewatching the bit where they are talking about nicknames and Jared wants MATCHING nicknames, and Peter thinks he's so cute he's terrifying and it's NOT QUITE ENOUGH FOR ME OH MAN.
