LOLIllya: Dexter

[curuchamion]

First off: I haz big news! Four years, four months and three days ago (yes, I counted), my family moved house. Since then, we've been doing a major remodel on the old house and trying to sell it - not exactly at the same time. My mother and I did most of the work: plumbing, electrical, carpeting, drywall, flooring, cabinets, everything but roofing (which I refuse to learn, being acrophobic.) I even wrote a Doctor Who ficlet, Liberation, inspired by the subject.

Anyway. Today - today, right now, as I type - is the closing on the old house! Going, going, gone!!! Out of my hair! No more flitting around like an UNCLE agent in miniature, never knowing what will go wrong next or where I'll spend the night; no more camping without running water or a working stove! (Granted, these experiences do help me get inside the boys' heads when I'm writing, but I'd just as lief not have any more for a while, y'know?)

So, in celebration, a plumber!Illya LOL. (You know you're going a little bit crazy when you seriously consider dreaming up a scenario where Illya takes a long-term undercover assignment as a handyman just so you can turn around all the crazy things that happen to you and happen them to him. No, I didn't do it.)

I must be the only person on illyushadarling 's flist who, when confronted with this particular Illya-costume from The Off-Broadway Affair, saw something besides Baby Ducky. (I absolutely love this costume... but that's a bit beside the point, isn't it?)

If you don't get the caption, there's an explanation below the LOL.



Okay. If you didn't get it: it's a MacGyver joke. Mac occasionally goes undercover as a computer geek named Dexter Fillmore; the disguise consists of scruffy clothes, thick glasses, and really seriously good, Illya!Nexor level, acting. This is Mac (in Dexter's clothes, but not in character); this is Dexter.

And if you haven't seen MacGyver, you should.

Heh! I always think of Dexter when I see Illya wearing his nerdy glasses, like in this pic:

I usually think of that persona as his Peter Parker act - my mom being a major Spider-Man nerd. Dexter's scruffier. (Though to be honest, it was actually the hair in that particular shot that brought him to mind.)

Congrats on the house sale!

I love Mac's "Dexter" - that is one of my favorite episodes.

Are there any Mac-MFU crossover fics? There really need to be...

[curuchamion.livejournal.com]

I can't find a single MacGyver/MFU crossover on the whole interwebz. You're right, there need to be some... however, I've got a whole file of wonderful crossover casts with no plots.

If I wrote up a post listing some of those, I wonder if my flist would bat around plot bunny ideas with me? *whistles innocently*
