Let's talk about slash :D

Apr 14, 2011 21:05

I've been thinking about doing a list of my favorite slash scenes from any fandom I've even dabbled in because dear lord have I seen amazingly gay things that have tried to pass as straight. I think it's fun sharing those with people, especially since my entire flist is made of slashers (kind of has to be, because I don't know what I'd do with a ( Read more... )

slash, fandom, i love gay men, lend me your rears

I am currently really into The Eagle. THE ENTIRE MOVIE, OKAY. ( Here is a pimping post, if that will help.) First, I should mention that there are no women in this movie. None ( ... )

Okay, I've seen you talking about this and I just sort of skimmed, thinking it was about some HBO miniseries or a book series or something and I'm not into period stuff, but BY GOD, I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS ALL THIS. And I know it's bad, but the idea of no women in the movie appeals to me greatly. It's not that I'm misogynistic (lol, it's weird when a woman is) but more that writers ALWAYS try to put in a het love story in every god damn movie and it's nice to know that there's no chance of that happening. Plus, I don't know what it is, but most movies don't portray women correctly, and it's more that I'm super picky.

I AM WATCHING IT THIS WEEKEND. I TRUST YOUR JUDGMENT.

EEEEEEE! Um. Do you need, uh, a source? If you're, um, torrenting, I have been told the file to look for is ""The Eagle 2011 R5 XviD-ViSiON" (and make sure to grab the subtitle file to play with it). You need subtitles because the Celts don't speak English. (I don't have this version yet myself, but am hoping to soon.)

There's a woman in one scene, I think -- enslaved Marcus is staring at one of the Celt women and the chief's son is like "WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT MY SISTER?" and Esca grabs Marcus and shoves him to his knees and pulls his head back to bare his throat and is like "HERE YOU CAN TOTALLY KILL HIM" and it looks like this and it's pretty great ( ... )

I found a good copy at a movie download community pretty easy, so I'm good to go. :D I love me some h/c, so I'm looking forward to slashy fun.

THOSE HIPBONES. I have a weakness for male hipbones. I suppose the equivalent for girls are curvy hips and since I'm not strictly straight (who is, honestly?) I like a girl with meat on her bones.

Oh, I think I know the place you mean. *checks* Yay!

I KNOW. HIPBONES. GAH. I usually don't find the skinny skinny girls attractive, but apparently I am all over the skinny boys.

I watched The Eagle last night. Holy fuckballs was that movie homoerotic! The only reason I'm not reading the book is because it ends in het and that always spoils my fun, but yay movie! Are there fic rec posts already because I want the good stuff.

Re: THEY ARE GAY sineala April 18 2011, 15:37:04 UTC

Ahahahahaha I win!

Recs... hmm. carmarthen has some recs here (she recs non-WIP non-AUs), and misspamela has some recs here and here. And you have to read the original shooting script (Cottia's in it, but there's still no het; she's ten years old).I would rec anything by carmarthen, linaerys, savvierthanu, aleathiel, frackin_sweet, and ainsoph15; my particular biases are historical accuracy in non-AUs and toppy, toppy Esca. Mmmm.

The main comm is ninth_eagle and the kink meme is the_eagle_kink (round one has just closed to new prompts, but old stuff is being filled; new post should be up soon). If you want any Eagle fen on your flist I can recommend some fun people.

I've got a couple stories posted; the thing that's currently eating my brain is an epic AU in which Marcus never left the army, Esca was never a slave and joins the army, and eventually becomes Marcus' second-in-command. Also at some point they fall in love.

Re: THEY ARE GAY bigmamag April 19 2011, 02:25:41 UTC

I second toppy Esca. HNNNG. I'm gonna need to do a pimp post on this and do some gifs because I've only found a few. I think my favorite non-blatant moment is after they've gone hunting and Esca is gutting the pig and you get this crotch shot before cutting to Marcus looking away, and it's like the direction WANTED us to assume that Marcus was checking him out. I've watched parts of it again and I must say, it gets even gayer the second time you watch.

I will so read you fic, because your stuff is always amazing.

Re: THEY ARE GAY sineala April 19 2011, 05:17:58 UTC

I just really like toppy toppy Esca and subby subby Marcus. A LOT, OKAY.

And, ha, I didn't even notice that moment. But man, I've been watching the .gif of Marcus going to his knees a lot on repeat. Because yes.

Aww, thanks. (I'm really enjoying the Trek fic you've been posting lately as well. Any chance of writing some Marcus/Esca too? They're fun!) And, man, this story is killing me to finish. I'm at ~20,000 words and maybe a third of the way through. Grr argh.

Re: THEY ARE GAY bigmamag April 19 2011, 05:32:01 UTC

HAIR. GRABBING. God, I know the feeling of being stuck on a fic *glares at wip*. I really have no idea if I'll write Marcus/Esca because I'm so new and I haven't even read fic yet (because I'm helping my sister move all week and I know if I read just one good fic, I'LL BE READING DOZENS AND DOZENS AFTER) but I won't say 'no' because I may get inspired. I might do a fanvid though, since it's so pretty.

OH YES PLEASE MAKE VIDS. I so wish I could vid this movie, but my computer hates me.
