HD, makeup and OTP dropping
Comment on HD :
someone put up a screencap that had a close-up of Ianto, and there's an interesting side-effect from coating them with make-up like that - you suddenly notice that you can't see his pores. They're completely coated. Wonder what that does to their skin.
The latest bunch of icon posts has me giggling. (Torchwood produces a *lot* of icons - due to HD, we have gorgeous quality scaps, and they employ very pretty actors who like making interesting facial expressions, love set-dressing, and believe in making sure the director of photography is fed jaffa cakes.) The reason being? Someone posted an icon of Jack and Ianto staring at each other in a rather... longing manner. With the text of 'The Space Between'. In any other fandom, this shot would have been reproduced by the slashers in icon form times a gajillion. In Torchwood fandom, it's used because it's pretty and that's about it.
:sigh: had that realisation where I've fallen out of love with an OTP. Always slightly depressing, because it's one of those that though it was small, you always clicked on the fic and I realised I was reading what was a terribly sweet fic with vague bemusement, and that I was now more likely to click on the main character when paired with other people. Oh well.
megolas greeted me at Wimbledon with 'We're looking very Jenny today.' See me go 'huh?' and she then points out that it is pretty much my utter default mode. After which I said that I do have the tits for spandex if wearing the Dazzler outfit, and then I got ribbed about the fact that wearing the Dazzler outfit under any circumstances was a bad thing. This reminds me that I really, really have to get round to making the updated Black Canary outfit.
