he called me a slore, and I don't even know what that is
It feels like it's been a while since I’ve made a skating-related post, mostly because I’d ran out of fics to rec, but also because there has been so much wank in fandom (admittedly fuelled by rl behaviour) which was entertaining at first, and then it became exhausting and I had to stop myself from posting a rant, which none of you would have wanted to read. (but writing it, made me feel better!) I think I am just going to have to stop reading the comments to most Johnny related posts at ontd_skating , which is a shame, because the comments are half the fun. Now, I just get annoyed.
The one point that survived the rant (there were many points, it was very carefully executed and completely unnecessary):
Calling them immature teenagers is one thing, I may not completely agree, because adults argue just as much if not more, but calling them teenage GIRLS I am going to have a problem with, because sexist language isn’t going to make your point, it really isn’t.
Instead of the rant, I am going to link you to this fic, where Johnny and Evan are forced to get couples counselling in order to learn to get along (and the execution is not cracky at all) not much written yet, but what there is, is really fantastic! And in their confessions, they pretty much say everything I want to say.
And all the wank detracted from the fact that Johnny’s new exhibition programme is gorgeous, which is a shame, because it really really is and this is coming from someone that still gets bored when watching more than 3 minutes of skating.
There is also the fact that Johnny wore a beautiful giant hat to the Kentucky Dirby, which resulted in the most happy-making picture ever, I cannot look at it without grinning. Also, this article about it, is hilarious: (Johnny turns horses into unicorns, how can you hate him?)
If you wonder what kind of hat hair would be the result of this glorious accessory, the answer is pretty impressive.
:DDDD His smile is kinda ridiculously infectious.
Twitter continues to bring the lolz, with @JohnnysHat and @evansbeanies flirting!
This epic post (community locked, but well worth joining in order to see it) traces the Evan/Johnny rivalry from the start and it is a thing of beauty and tears, and tinhattery aside, just an incredibly fascinating read.
I’ve been making my way through some of Johnny’s older interviews and came across a few gems.
(print articles)
-I think Nastia Liukin is the most beautiful athlete around. I would love to design her some lynx and sable warm-up jackets to go over those gymnastics leotards. (source) Why is Evan always taking Johnny’s girls?
-Speaking of Evan Lysacek, you speak very frankly about him and his look. We wrote an article about him pointing out how orange he looks. (heee, best thing ever) Is he really that orange in person?
I’ll speak very frankly about everyone, but everyone only asks me about Evan. Everyone has their own style, and Evan has very dark hair, tanned skin and very white teeth. I’m about as white as white can get with very dark hair, that is my style. You’re always going to look a certain way on TV, and everyone has their own style. If that’s the way you want to look, I have no problem with it. (source)
-“Honestly, I got offered to be in a porn once. It was after the Olympics,” Weir says. He turned that offer down, but if this recession drags on, all bets are off. “Maybe in a few years,” he said, laughing. “If things keep getting worse.” (source) (so now I get where all those prompts on the kink meme are coming from)
(videos)
-In a remarkable subtlety fail Johnny gets asked whether he was born to spin the wrong way or if society did it to him (it's kinda hilarious, we also learn that the adorable penguin shirt is Chanel, in the same video, Evan gets asked about his favourite costume)
-A new to YouTube interview from April (Johnny brings up Evan on his own accord, in a semi complimentary way! Still doesn't watch DWTS)
