Ah, people. Failing since evolution began.

1. The word of the day is clusterfuckiest. Trufax.

2. I'm a big fan of the part where a summer camp that rented a pool in north PhillY for $1900 were told they weren't welcome, because they changed the complextion of the pool. Keep it classy, racist assholes!

3. If I think too hard about the confirmation hearings, I might stroke out, so...

4. YAY, Leverage premieres tonight!

5. And Matt Damon is going to be on Entourage! So, that means that Matt and Ari are going to be hanging out. And I didn't even have to write it! Yeah, I know, who's the man? All they need now is RDJ... you know since I write it and it happens. Excuse me, I have to go write myself winning ten million dollars. BRB.

6. Ryan Gosling is releasing his album in October. I WANT IT NOW.

6a. Anybody got the new Regina Spektor album (Far) that they wanna share with the class.

7. An Offer: Anybody who wants to come over here and give me a photo prompt that maybe might result in some drabble porn to make the masses happy is more than welcome.

If you just want to picspam the pretty to you know, help the general mood, that's awesome too. In fact, feel free to come and post photos and write your own porn too! But it's gotta be a photo. And SFW. It can be a party!

Mostly I'm just trying to make [livejournal.com profile] romanticalgirl smile, so help a sister do a good deed.

I think I need to do a post that links specifically to the porn, because losing it would be for shaaaaame! It'd be a most excellent post. 'Here is the sex pollen, here is the Get Some addendum, here is the rimming, oh, here's more sex pollen,' and on and on AND ON.

That seems like a very good use of my time.

I'd planned to do that, but I just don't have the time. I'm already in trouble for falling behind.

I would not be disturbed if they were Colbert icons!

Actually, on checking I find that I only have two Brad P. icons which is probably still too many. ;)

Heee. I did the same thing! And then I realized that my comment about Brad taking a picture of his dick would actually probably apply to both of them, so I just let it stand.

::pouts:: Why does TNT hate me? Whatever, I buy the Parker/Hardison/Eliot no matter the situation.

...I've been wondering about the threads here. Why can I not unfold all? Why is it all on one page? Why is even the light view all on one page? Z's LJ has special powers that mine does not possess.

I SO approve of the Ray/Walt direction of your thoughts. I am going to claime this has my influence. But, yes, shoving his cock in Ray's mouth is the most effective means of shutting Ray up, especially when Ray can do such creative, filthy things with his mouth.

And, dude, this post needs more Walt. *off to find pictures*

I can take a stab at it. Kinda annoying that I can't unfold all, but that's just dangling a challenge in front of me; I shall prevail!

Darling, you don't have to do that if you don't want to. Personally I think it's kind of fun to see how everything has been motivated by everything else. All the threads just weave together. Sometimes people have to work for their pron.

LOL. By all means then.

It will probably show up on youtube eventually, but basically, it's Eliot making Parker and Hardison fight to demonstrate something (I honestly wasn't paying attention to the plot when I realized what was happening). And you find out that Eliot has taught Parker to fight, and it all ends up with Parker and Hardison rolling around on the floor (Parker basically has Hardison pinned down) in obscene positions while Eliot watches and looks proud. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!

Also, the computer that i am using kind of sucks and when it has to work hard it kind of does this rapid flashing thing and it has to work really, really hard to open this post, so it totally looks like it's having some sort of computer orgasm.

And now I am having happy flashbacks to the whole War photographer discussion from a bit ago. And Brad Colbert would take pictures of dick and Ray would call him pervert, and Brad would be all, "No when you take pictures of your dick its sick and perverted, when I do it, it's art."

Re: boys being totally innocent and hard-working and above-board

[identity profile] alethialia.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, taking it up the ass makes you less of a man. Totally. ::nods::

Obviously *I* don't believe that, but a lot of guys seem to think so. And you're the one who's always going on about boy-thinking! I'm just saying.

Found the e-mail (which was specifically wrt the very beginning of a relationship between Brad/Nate):

I actually have trouble seeing Nate topping at times. And Brad bottoming, too. Because while Nate's a badass and hardly effeminate, he is very aware of power dynamics. He takes his responsibility for his men very seriously. He's in a position of authority; there's no way around that. And this is the reason fraternization isn't allowed (ignoring the issue of homosexuality). Nate has both legal and moral authority over Brad. Adding a relationship into that dynamic introduces all sorts of potential issues (from abusing one's authority to clouding one's judgment), so the fact that Nate does have a thing with Brad goes against his better judgment...but at the same time, he can't stay away, so he's kinda fucked no matter where he turns. In my head I can understand him being reticent to fuck Brad to avoid even the perception of the abuse of authority. Not that anyone's looking, but hell, Nate's conflicted. We were all shocked to hear.

But because Brad is Brad, I don't think this comes up as an issue, at least, not at first. Brad's whole identity is based on not showing weakness in front of the pack. He's the alpha male of Bravo Company. Hell, he's the supreme alpha male above all the other alpha males. His reputation, even identity, is based on being the baddest badass that ever did badass. He doesn't bow down before anyone.

RL!Kocher once said something interesting (it might've been in the making of) where he likens the officers as renters and the NCOs as owners of recon. Officers come and go, but the senior NCOs - the Sergeants - they're really the guys who run the show. It makes sense since recon generally operates on the team level, where Brad would be the highest ranking guy in the field. Given that, submission to/respect for officers is mostly a formality. Certain officers who prove themselves, like Nate and Patterson, are worthy of real respect, but the rest is just for show (and to avoid punishment). We saw that with all the officer-bashing in the mini.

I digress to make a point. I think he'd have an issue bending over for Nate, I do. I think it would seem to him like he was showing weakness, that he was willingly submitting to another, which goes against the code by which he lives. Now, do I think this is conscious? Probably not, at least not at first and especially not in the heat of getting Nate naked. But I think it plays out in how they react once they are naked. I think Brad's assumption is that he'll be fucking Nate; the reverse doesn't even occur.

Brad's self-esteem issues also contribute to this, in my mind. Nate's completely secure in who he is; I don't think he'd connect bottoming with showing weakness/being submissive/being judged negatively by others. Brad, otoh, is a little less secure. I think it'd take a while before he was comfortable enough for those things not to be a concern.

Does that mean it's impossible for Brad to bottom? No. Hell, I wrote a whole story about just this. I think once Brad consciously thinks about it and puts it in the context of Nate, whom he trusts and respects, it'll be less of an instinctual belief that he'll be fucking Nate.

***

The self-esteem thing comes from L and I discussing why the boys would never have a threesome with another guy. Akin to, everyone leaves Brad, what, is he not good enough? And then L makes me want to cry.

And I remember why Brad bottoming raised an eyebrow! In fat, I think we've had this discussion before. Even YOU wrote that one rilly hot story where Nate had to work to get Brad to bottom.

AHAHAHAHA! There is artistic integrity to his dick-shots! ::dies::

Nate could totally vouch for the artistic qualities of Brad's dick.

There's ths black and white photo that Brad has of Nate. It's worn. Folded. Brad carries it inside his shoe. If he loses a foot in Iraq he's fucked anyway and then it won't quite matter. But he keeps it as sort of a talisman. You can't spend all this time in the Middle East and not have a few good luck charms.

The photo even has that white border that you only get in old school photos. Brad made it when he realized that the only way he was going to get this negative off of the film was if he developed it himself. So, he bribed one of his Iraqi friends to let him borrow his darkroom for an hour so he could do just that.

It's a gorgeous photo. Brad doesn't mind tooting his own horn -- entendre intended -- but he's not the one who made this photo what it is. Nate did. Nate naked and asleep with the sheet just barely covering his hip.

What makes this photo great is the way Nate's lying on his stomach, the way the sheet hugs the curve of his ass, promising so much more. What makes this photo Brad's favorite is the bandage on Nate's forearm and the ones on his back.

Brad took this photo the morning after their first night together. The morning after Nate almost got blown up by a roadside bomb.

OMG! I died! And Parker's just holding Hardison between her legs. Jesus.

Is Gina pregnant?

Please be telling me Ray's thoughts on this:

[identity profile] sparky77.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, Gina is very, very pregnant and is going to be gone for I think three episodes. I am very, very proud of Chris Downey and
John Rogers, though. Because they seemed genuinely excited for her when they were talking about it and were just kind of joking about the fun pregnancy hiding things that they were going to be doing, and it's sad that I feel the need to praise them for not being jerks about it, but their attitude was very refreshing compared to some reactions I've seen when stars of shows have gotten pregnant.

I believe the words the first time Ray comes to Walt's apartment and sees this photo are, "I'm going to cut this bitch."
