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

The show I was just watching had a M/M handjob played for way less laughs than I would have guessed. It was comedic, but more that they were discovered than that they were doing it [spoiler for Legit] (one character was helping a paraplegic masturbate for his Skype GF).

In prime time I can think of potential for three gay couples, and one is a guess--there is opportunity for one on Glee I figure (dunno, never watched it), and there's one on Modern Family and a gay regular on Scandal. Revenge has a bisexual male character--anything else that might lead a regular or recurring character to have M/M relations? Even just a demonstrative relationship, not just asking about sex.

How did I not process there was a character on Scandal called James Novak? Wow, it's like I watch it asleep.

Journalist. Jimmy Novak. Married to Cyrus? Normally Novak sets off my Castiel filters loud enough. How they managed to get to James and I didn't register anything, I don't even know. I do wonder how they came up with the name, there are the same reputed origins as SPN.

Oh, him. I kind of tune that character out so I never picked up on his name. But you'd think that would have caught my ear.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm constantly getting LinkedIn friend requests from authors whom I've edited one paper for. I don't actually know you, dude, and may never work with you again; why would I add you to my professional contacts?

Glad Devi is cooperating!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There's a gay character on Happy Endings who sometimes has a bf. And The New Normal, though I don't watch that so I don't know how demonstrative that couple might be.

I'm afraid of LinkedIn, I don't understand it. I should really get over that and, like, use it for its intended purpose. Some day, maybe.

Our wings are not tired.

LinkedIn used to be a very straightforward and useful site. It is still probably useful, but I loathe that it's trying to be like twitter and Facebook et al now. Didn't it realize how much more professional its old site was? Sigh.

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

I know Colin's role on Happily Divorced has been stripped free of suggestion, but that's every relationship I saw, not just the gay one.

A bit tangentially: FX, what up? If you don't know Archer, you should see it. Not sure what the right d-word is but it's d(emented/epraved/ebauched/isturbed) spycraft animation. Also, really funny, and earning its MA rating.

Legit is....well, that was the straight interrupted M/M handjob, so... interesting choice. And in The Americans, the Felicity chick refers to having stuck her finger up the butt of a guy she was getting secrets for and appearing none the worse for wear. Still, lots of people are expanding the boundaries, but still not the same amount in all the directions yet.

What are the FB and twitter things that LinkedIn does? I use it only to make connectons--for that it doesn't seem to ave los= ries

Am nervous. About to head to ER (RR) because my neuro swears up and down they're ready for me this week. In fact, they're experimenting on me to see how I tolerate the higher dosage, and if the answer is well, home nurse next week.

So, in your sleep, wish me deep breathing and alertness.

Where the fuck did my taxi-calling app go? I have a bandaid to rip off...
