Veronica Mars for Five-Year-Olds. Summary in Caps, Part I.

[dangermousie]

Having a bit too much time on my hands, and having started a VM rewatch, I decided: what if someone hasn't seen VM? What if they don't know what it's about? They are missing out, of course, that's what! So I present to you a very short summary of Veronica Mars world, with help of caps. Well, a summary you'd give a hyperactive five year old. A five year old who is OK with the themes of noir, rape and murder, that is.

Genesis of a Bad-Ass, Veronica Mars Summary in Caps, Part 1. I confess that it eventually transmogrified into a ball of shippery glee, but cut a shipper girl some slack. Could YOU resist a half-dressed Logan?

All VM caps are courtesy of Jems' VM cap site


There once lived a girl named Veronica



Whose fabulous best friend, Lilly Kane, got gruesomely murdered



Perhaps permanently driving home the message of 'don't sleep with your boyfriend's abusive father if he is a murderous psycho.'



(Actually don't do it at all, unless Springer is your end game).



When Veronica sided with her chubby, lovable Dad



In assuming Jake Kane murdered his own daughter,



after all, it's not like he was prejudiced because his wife was screwing with Jake,



she got ostracized by snobby elitist tyranical cows the priveleged class of Neptune



Moreover, to add insult to injury, just prior to the murder, her gorgeous, perfect boyfriend Duncan Kane,



Lilly's brother,



who some would say has all the charm of a pancake,



dumped her for reasons 'Tromeo and Juliet' would find invalid.



Pssssst. He thought Veronica was his half-sister



'Keeping it in the family' was not Duncan's cup of tea



Except for when he was high on life lots and lots of drugs



That's right, after Lilly's murder, Veronica went to a party



Where she got humiliated.



And woke up searching for her underwear



Due to a complicated chain of events, she ended up with GHB in her drink,



And then in the bedroom unconscious,



Where drugged Duncan and she had sex.



But she didn't remember it because of the drugs,



Thus making "Veronica Mars" the world's best anti-party video.



Yes, even better than that:



There is also the fact that she really got raped prior to Duncan's presence lots more, but this will come out later, making it even more devastating. I am too bloody lazy to recap it now, plus this whole topic is making me emo depressed, so this one cap will do



She reported the crime to Sheriff Lamb,



forgetting he was chosen for his looks and not his brains



And got laughed at. I am sorry, but I can find nothing funny there, so no cute caption this time



All this made her develop a bad ass attitude



And get a cool haircut,



Proving that fashion is your savior.



She is still her Daddy's girl



But now she shows it through helping with his cases.



She's got a taser and is not afraid to use it.



And she stands up for school outsiders.



Even if she takes money if they have it.



The girl's gotta eat.



And she has a motorcycle gang in her pocket.



Lastly, is friends with Wallace Fennel, who is too short to be a love interest.



And speaking of love...



Love?



Yes.



There is love.



Even in noir.



How could I forget



The reason for my watching million screaming fangirls



Logan



LOGAN



LOGAN



His name is Logan Echolls.



He is the Obligatory Psychotic Jackass,



Who is the best friend of Donut Duncan Kane,



And Lilly's (understandably former) boyfriend.



He is Veronica's nemesis.



But that is OK because he is emo.



Make it very emo.



With enough angst to kill an elephant. Or a therapist.



And abused.



And snarky.



And HOT.



'They used to be friends'



And an extra cap or seven for cuteness of times past.









But now they fight a lot.



Sorry, that just slipped in.



I mean, they really go at it.



Hmm, this didn't come out right.



Let me try again.



OK. They are always tussling.



GRRRRR. Hebashedherheadlightsoutwithacrowbarwhensheputabonginhislocker, OK?



And then they kissed. In 17 more episodes



And lived happily ever after. Yeah, yeah this is end of S2. But cut a poor giddy shipper some slack



THE END.

For now.

*sigh*

So enjoyable. Thank you.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

You are welcome! It was a blast to do!

[mycenae.livejournal.com]

Wallace Fennel, who is too short to be a love interest.

Bwah! So true. Why IS everyone (except Logan) so short?

This is so hyperactive, but in that good I-remember-when-I-watched-bright-cartoons-and-ate-Skittles-for-breakfast way.

And hey, nothing wrong with shippiness. All those L/V icons I saw towards the end of season 1 airing was what convinced me to get all caught up last summer. (Who are these people? Why is their love so awesome? How can I get more images of this hot guy??) L/V CONVERTS!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Why IS everyone (except Logan) so short?

Because V is a midget? :P

This is so hyperactive, but in that good I-remember-when-I-watched-bright-cartoons-and-ate-Skittles-for-breakfast way

ROFL.

But yes, shippiness makes the world go round. At least mine :P

[starwishful.livejournal.com]

Hi! *waves*

Got here via my friends of friends list and enjoyed this IMMENSELY! Thanks!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

You are welcome! I had way too much fun for it to be healthy, sorting through the caps :)

[kabutar.livejournal.com]

maybe I should watch this show. :P

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeeee. I think it's quite good but no idea if it's your cup of tea as I don't know what kind of TV things you like. It's a snarky noir, set in high school world with really well-drawn characters.

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

Hm...
Considering watching. :P
I watched an episode once, I think my thought, hm, intriguing but very teen drama-ish... she's hot though.

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

Er, that would be I think my thoughts were

[hellopoe.livejournal.com]

HEEEEEE. I love this. And I love all the, *ahem*, examples of the "tussling".

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They sure do fight a lot, don't they :P

[ilanala]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...

IwillnoterewatchVeronicaMarsbecauseIwanttoseeLogancryIwillnotrewatchVeronicaMars...

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOL. Face it, this is a losing battle as Logan gets to cry a lot what with all his angst, andlooksscrumptuousdoingso.

[asaresquares.livejournal.com]

Hil-ar-ious. Me like.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Mmmmm, icon!

[poetrytoprose.livejournal.com]

I actually choked a little with your rising introduction of Logan:
Logan
LOGAN
LOGAN
Ahhh. I don't know what I'd (we'd) do without that boy.

I loved this! :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeee. The boy deserves it, what with all the fangirl glee he induces in me viewers.

[wildfirelies.livejournal.com]

Fabulous :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[vkitty.livejournal.com]

... I love you. You and this entire entry! Thank you!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love that Dick icon!

[rossetti.livejournal.com]

Holy cow! Hilarity! Love this.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[damsels-fly.livejournal.com]

This is part 1 of like, 28 right?!
This pic spam made me waaay too gleeful.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Well, I haven't gotten to the Logan/Veronica spam yet as I am afraid to faint from the hotness :P

That is the coolest icon!

[sitebuilderchic.livejournal.com]

So cute. I love the caps you used. Ahh... Logan *smiles dreamily* Can't wait for some more

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And yes, Logan is definitely yum!

[randomdent.livejournal.com]

This was really super funny and cute. Can't wait to see part two. ;)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[fickledame.livejournal.com]

Hee! That is awesome. Love the Wallace is too short comment.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And yeah, Wallace is definitely a shortie...

[genova.livejournal.com]

I've had this sudden rush of Logan love! I don't know what to do with it! *SIGH* Thanks for making this.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And Logan love is always alwaaaaaays good.

[havemy-heart.livejournal.com]

Thank you for this. It's awesome! There can never be enough pics of Logan or of them kissing :-D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

There can never be enough pics of Logan or of them kissing :-D

Definitely true!

[pibby.livejournal.com]

Cute :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[dustdaughter.livejournal.com]

This was awesome. If I weren't a rabid fangirl (fanwoman) already, I'd definitely start watching after reading this!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And hey, rabidness is a lot of fun. I should know, having bought a condo in rabid country a while back :P

[catteo.livejournal.com]

Holy hell.
That was too awesome.
I really think that you should have tried to fit in a few more caps containing Logan though...
LOVES YOU!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I really think that you should have tried to fit in a few more caps containing Logan though...

Heeee. The boy did take over this picspam, didn't he?

I am going to do a separate Logan-centric picspam soon. The many moods of Logan Echolls (exhibiting the vast range between angsty, very angsty and VERY VERY angsty :P).

[magnolia888.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

Seriously, if that isn't enough to get people watching this !@#$%^& show, I don't know what is.

But you really think Keith is "chubby"? I'd never describe him that way. Balding and middle-aged, sure, but he doesn't seem chubby to me. Maybe by comparison to Lamb, but that's not really fair.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Seriously, if that isn't enough to get people watching this !@#$%^& show, I don't know what is.

Heeee.

I do think Keith is chubby. Not fat or obese or anything, but someone, if he went to a GP for a routine check-up, who'd be told to lose a few (not too many) pounds. Lamb is a bad comparison, agreed, as not only is he younger, but he is really cut (hey, the guy's got to have some positive characteristics), but I do think 'chubby' when comparing Keith with such of his contemporaries as Jake or Cliff or Clemmons. Though of course I haven't seen him shirtless, so it might be mis-impression. Plus, he does have a very round face. To me chubby connotes a bit fleshy, rotund, not fat.

[awwunicorns.livejournal.com]

Aww, this was beautiful. Is it weird, though, that I read it like I felt you wrote it--hopped up on Amp? :o) It's great. Continue, please.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Make it hopped up on sugary drinks and chocolate, and not enough sleep, and you got it absolutely right :)

[granting.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is very good and makes me wonder how long it took to make...

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It didn't take that long. The longest was getting the caps, and I had most of them saved already...I was doing it off and on for a few days...

[jacedesbff.livejournal.com]

This was divine--and funny as all get out! :-)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I tried :)
