Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Daniel Kae Kim was evil on Angel

True, but he was ultimately good in Lost, right? And he's definitely good in H50, but although sexy, the show's not really about pairing anyone off. Masi Oka was good on, Heroes, heroic, although not macho. Definitely unsexed on H50. As for Glenn, he got laid last week, so he's doing okay for the numbers.

Frankly, there's not enough to choose from. Three races, two genders, you're least likely, I think to see Asian males.

women want a man who can protect them

Yeah, I absolutely do. I want a man (or, apparently a woman) who will take a bullet for me. But that doesn't mean they have to take a punch for me. Though, I think taking punches if you're also giving them is pretty hot.

Glad to prompt, Erin!

OMG, this just made me break down, but it's good tears, really. Just releasing some pent up stuff, I guess.

eta: The before is hard to look at, but the after is happy, I swear.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

BWAH! Okay, you seriously just made me snort.

Me too!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The before is awful but the after is really amazing. Best thing I've cried for in days.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I don't think I ever thought about whether or not DH would protect me. I mean, I'm sure he would--he wouldn't run away and let me die or anything--it's just not a situation I'm anticipating.

ita, I think you need a new sleep psychologist. You don't seem to have any connection with this one, and she's not very good at communicating with you.

women want a man who can protect them

Hmm; I agree, but I think when I wrote that, my fingers went too fast -- I meant to get more into the "women are to BE protected, while the menfolks do the protecting" idea with that statement.

I want a man that protects me. And I want to protect my man. Physically, emotionally, mentally -- the way that it gets done depends on the skill set of the person, not based on gender.

D would take a bullet for me, I know. But I would much rather shove him out of the way and beat the gunman to death with his/her own leg, ya know?

Tangent (kinda): If we ever get financially settled, I really want to take krav classes. D and I agree that would be a fun date night!

I can't work out how much I'm supposed to be getting out of her. I know some of her stuff already, so this week, I came out of it with the idea of "distracting sensation" when I wake up startled, and now I have to work out what to do.

But I haven't seen the bills. I don't know what insurance covers. I should stop appointments until then. She's done nothing to convince me this is worth going deep into my own pocket for.

However I did get a call about $2K I owe a bankrupt hospital from 2007. Dear god. They didn't try very hard to get it from me when they were solvent, can't they leave me alone now? Yeah, I know, not the same them. I just can't work out how I incurred that shit, and I doubt I have 2007 records, so that means calling up insurance companies I no longer pay and asking for records.

Burrell, I watch a LOT of action movies; my brain goes there, also, having been almost raped once, I do think a lot of personal safety and how I would react and what my skills, strengths and weaknesses are. Also, D is a very slight, mild-mannered man, and I am built like an, um, brick shithouse, so I've thought about it.

Just an explanation for my worldview, not a you-offended-me statement or anything.

Also: ita !'s 2nd link -- the first photo made me literally gasp in shock so hard I choked on my iced tea. But the second pic is SUCH a good outcome. Damn.

For me it comes down to me not having much of a fight or fuck dichotomy--we just want the best possible excuses.
