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.
Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
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.
IJS.
