idle thoughts

It's hot and miserable; I'm lying in my stuffy bedroom and dreaming of comment snippets. Ray Kowalski and Fraser having a first kiss while it snows; wee Fraser at his mommy's funeral; conversations from a scenario where RayK starts his subtle courtship of Fraser by trying to get in good with Dief (it's like the combination of getting the kids to like you and getting the parents to approve!); the world where Fraser has always been a girl, and she and RayV have a very brief thing when she first comes to Chicago, but only for a few episodes, and then they're like brother and sister till the end of the show; Slings and Arrows fic with crazy, crazy Geoffrey Tenant; Batgirls and Robins smooching in all sorts of permutations; the awesomeness and walking porn that is Roy Harper; Duck and Dan being cute; John and Aeryn together post-PKW.

Actually, you know, I want everybody and/or anybody kissing as the snow falls. It's hot and I'm sickly and it automatically makes me go aw. KISSES + SNOW = LOVE.

I can't stop playing Talismania. I don't know why; it's not so wonderful that it should be so addictive, really.

I have nothing to say about last night's Deadwood except that it might be my favorite one of the season so far. And also I can't believe it's getting so close to the end forever omg!!! Also also, Molly Parker is pretty.

hey, let's talk about porn

Okay, question of the day! This comes up occasionally during RPF discussions, and it's sort of interesting on its own, too -- the question of the connection or disconnection between writing pornography about fictional characters and the actual physical bodies of the actors who portray them.

Which is to say: when I write a fic about Ray Kowalski giving Benton Fraser a long, slow, loving blowjob, obviously to some degree I'm relying to the visual images of Callum Keith Rennie's mouth and hands and Paul Gross's body. Except at the same time -- Paul Gross's body isn't synonymous with Benton Fraser's body. When I'm writing porn about Fraser, the way his body looks, feels and responds isn't the way Paul Gross would; it's the character I'm writing, who is idealized from the character on screen, who is *not* Paul Gross, but just played by him.

Or -- well, Ray Kowalski, Billy Talent and Duck MacDonald all have a tattoo of the Champion logo on their right biceps. But that doesn't mean that's the same tattoo, because it has a different meaning and history for each of them, right?

All of which boils down to, I guess, the fact that I still think Fraser has a bigger cock than PG does.
