My Tivo's been losing the signal on and off lately, so I'll need to check in around 8:45 to make sure it's ready to record the episode.
And I saw this Q&A bit, with a nice Kim Manners anecdote, linked near the promo above: [link]
I like my men like I like my coffee, covered in bees.
More art pining: [link] (J2, last one NSFW). Her likenesses are a bit stylised, but I love her lines and the gentleness of the colour. And she sure makes the story seem charming (uh, and hot), even if not my cup of tea.
What is my problem? I
love
boys kissing. And I
know
these are entirely unrelated actors. Hell, they are
cartoons
of actors. But still I hold one hand in front of my face and click the the back button as fast as I possibly can. I'ma go over to youtube and search for Jack Harkness and John Hart for the eleventy millionth time.
I think she did a pretty good job of having Jensen especially not look like his character, so it only pinged my RPS aversion, not my Wincest one.
It's weird how I feel about it. Like people are enjoying something that I can't appreciate and it's not fair. I feel the same way about shrimp but try as I might, I can't make myself enjoy shrimp.
I have exactly the same reaction to D/C. Not Jensen/Misha, though.
D/C more than doesn't bother me (hey, the Nephilim mean there's Biblical precedent for angels getting down with people!), it's pulled me much deeper into the fandom. But RPF has proven a bulletproof squick.
Art, to some degree is different for me. I have a hard time with porny manips, but I can appreciate the talent in a good drawing/painting of a pairing I either don't ship or find really disturbing.
But I'm never going to try and enjoy most of my fic aversions. Wincest and RPFs are big squicks, and I ain't playing with that.
I toyed with Sassy and S/G to see if I could, but nah. I don't feel any way about it, though.
That piece ita, I think, linked to recently, of Dean and Cas on the brink of a kiss was a f'in' gorgeous piece of art. I could appreciate it on that level.
I've considered drawing art for pairings I anti-ship. Not squick, but just, like Sam/Castiel, think is a world of narrative wrong. But then I'd feel like a shithead posting them, because of they hypocrisy. I hate that pairing. I just think the people are pretty.
But when I draw D/C, I mean it. I have no idea if it makes a difference to the finished product, but it does affect the joy I get from the process. Life is short.
