(no subject)
I have this thing about humiliation in stories--fanfic or original--and movies and even on TV shows. While I can stand a little bit and it doesn't precisely turn me off anything if it gets beyond a bit (say, someone falling on their face and getting cake all over themselves as they're heading over to meet the in-laws or something similar) I tend to flail, giggle nervously and cover my face in my hands. I AM NOT EVEN JOKING, I did this last night while reading a Merlin fic. My arms went everywhere and I'm pretty sure after about two seconds I started ressembling a windmill. THEN, I decided to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic because I've never actually seen it and I may have tiny crushes on both Hugh Dancy and Isla Fisher and, uh, Krysten Ritter and that dude who plays her fiance. They're kind of all ridiculous adorable, y'know?
Anyhow, same thing. There are a few embarrassing things and while I still watched the movie and, yeah, not gonna lie I even kind of liked it there were definitely moments I squeaked like a little girl and covered my face. I cannot help it. I see people humiliated or embarrassed every day, I am a lot and it just makes me squirm. I didn't actually realise until today but if it's big time it's a squick, no doubt about it.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME. I didn't really HAVE any (well, one, but it's scat and you don't come across that often at all) so I now feel proud and happy and whatnot.
