sometimes my libido has to catch up to my brain
When I first fell for Guy and got into Guy/Kyle--which happened about the same time, because when I love a character I slash them--I said to tartary_lamb, "It's unusual for me to fall this hard for a character I don't find attractive."
She laughed and said something along the lines of, "Wait for it."
Which, yeah, I have to concede the point. *grins* About a week ago, I finally looked up from life in general and fandom in specific and went, "Yup, I'm there."
I'm both amused at myself and bemused, because normally I have a very specific type, and Guy is not it. Normally my type is tall, dark haired, lean build (not skinny: lean), clean shaven (exceptions made for limited, very neatly trimmed facial hair), with a face that tends more to triangular than square jawed. In other words: Kyle.
But while I've thought Kyle was nice enough from the beginning, the lust has developed for Guy. Obviously, this is because that's the character that I've gone nuts for, but I still have to laugh at how very not my normal type he is.
For additional amusement value, my first hint that my hormones were catching up with my fannish brain was this page from, of all things, I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League:
I think it was the arms...and the fact that he looks really tall there.
Ahem. Excuse me while I go channel some energy into a
kink_bingo prompt. *g*
