look, a TRIPLE gip!

Tonight I made myself Rome icons.

Icon #1:



Keywords: rome: well this sucks

Icon #2:



Keywords: rome: writing is hard

Icon #3:



Keywords: rome: woot lesbian sex

I also made like five different attempts at making an icon of Vorenus and Pollo saluting Caesar in his tent at the end of this episode, but they all turned out horribly sucky -- the scene is really dark, and all my attempts at brightening it looked awful. Alas!

hee! Love the mommy issues one! And I so 0wned my RL friends, calling that pairing a week before it happened. Bitches don't know their homoerotic subtext. So sad!

Heeeeee. I totally thought it was going to STAY at subtext -- I think I am way too used to watching broadcast tv instead of HBO -- and then the first scene of this episode was like "wow, is that supposed to be that gay?" and then the next scene with the two of them answered that question!

I've become too used to watching HBO. I want to subtext to become text, like how Carnivale and Six Feet Under paid off with actual girl on girl kissage. I get so disappointed with "regular" tv. Denying bitches!

(Though, I guess it does happen outside of cable occasionally, I must admit. BtVS, Once and Again, Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill, and The OC were regular TV shows I've seen where we had a character get introduced as straight, but then later was revealed to like teh gay. And I think we got one on Desperate Housewives as well... )

This is true! I guess it's just outside of cable it's a REALLY BIG DEAL. I have never seen the OC in my life, but I knew all about Marissa's lesbian exploration way, way ahead of time.

Yes, that's the big thing outside of cable. It has to be a big production. On Showtime and HBO, it's just matter-of-fact. If two people of whatever gender have textual chemistry, they might get it on or they might not. You never know!

Which is nice.

(I'm still pulling for a moment of Roman manlove. We shall see...)

Dude. I am so trying to write shipwrecked Titus/Lucius sex, but it's not happening. Because you know Titus was all, "We have to get out of these wet clothes and huddle to warm up."

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-10-15 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Heeeee. Dude, that's tough! Titus is pretty much up for anything any time, it seems like, but Lucius is, you know. Maybe a little on the tightly-wound side.

Yeah, tightly-wound and in love with his wife. But Pullo loves him so much! They're so cute together!

Yay, indeed!

Dude I'll write you a Rome drabble if you make me some icons! Pretty please?

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-10-15 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, I am TOTALLY willing to make you icons! I haven't been able to find any screencap sites, though, so I've had to make the ones I'm using myself -- so, a) I only have episode 7 on my computer at the moment, so if you want an icon from any other episode I'll have to go get it again first and b) do you have a specific scene or moment you want?

[identity profile] misspamela.livejournal.com 2005-10-15 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have them snuggling on the raft? I'd also love one of Pullo holding Vorenus, but if you don't have it, that's okay. Oh, heck. I want so many. I'd love an Octavia/Servilia one, if you still have the caps.

What pairing do you want?

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2005-10-15 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I made a bunch. Let me know if any of those are what you were thinking of, or if I should go back and try more.

And for pairings -- man. I am SO EASY. Anything with Pullo! Anything with the twisted family circle that is Atia, Octavia and Octavian!

OMG I AM FLAILING.

THEIR WEE HEADS TOGETHER!!!!!!

Eeee! I'll take the second one down and the last Octavia/Servilia one! I love the third one down and I sort of want text on it but I don't know what.

I love you!

YAAAAAAAY!

I am so glad you liked!
