If either of *my* parents had said anything like that to me, at that age (or now!) no matter how supportively they meant it...man, I'd have fled, face on fire, and not come out of my room for days. *laughs*
Poor Jared. The budding relationship's so new and tentative, and he's not sure what he's doing or if it's reciprocated-it's nice they're being understanding, but he's got to be all flailing and "I donwannatalkaboutit!!!" inside. And hopeful. *pets*
This does make me wonder even more about Jensen's background, the insistence that "this" is a safe place, and Garrett's concern. Garrett's known Jensen a long time, so if there's anything to worry about, he'd probably know of it.
I like how Jensen's gradually opening up and showing his humor and intrinsic sweetness; we already know he's smart. And he was all lip-bitey, then couldn't keep from smiling! Very cute.
I appreciate Jared's delicacy in not joining Jensen in the bed, it would have been kind of forward; and nice of him to let Jensen sleep (he needed it). Jared's got a natural courtesy and kindness, I think; his humor isn't mean, even when he's teasing.
Their complementary personalities are shaping up nicely. I was quite happy to see this pop up today, always a pleasant surprise.
Tell me about it. I had sort of decided to put this fic on the back burner for a few weeks to get my own head in a good place, and then freakin' model-muse showed up and I wrote all of Jensen's POV yesterday. Craziness.
I think Jared and Garrett gotta have a talk soon. :)
Jared's parents--wow. Is there such a thing as over-supportive? Is there a trophy for that?
I'm glad Jensen's unfolding is suitably slow. So hard to unfurl those secrets at the perfect pace--not too boring, and not too sudden. Thanks.
Idunno if Jared and Jensen would have both fit on Jared's childhood bed. Especially not without kicking Sadie out. :)
I like the character-building part. I usually have a strong Jensen-concept (or Sam, if I"m writing FPS, oddly enough). The other just develops in this wonderfully organic sort of way. That's what makes it exciting.
Thanks so much for your comment. I totally dig the deep thought.
They both might not have fit on the bed, but the attempt would probably have woken up Jensen-and scared him. There would have been drama and apologies, maybe even protective barking from the offended Sadie. Jared would have been mortified!
Speaking of mortification, I wondered what he'd do if his mom-or his DAD, god forbid-bought him some condoms. There could be a "how-to" demonstration on a cucumber. *cracks up*
Are you going to do any chapters from Garrett's pov? I expect he'll be calling Jared up on the carpet any time now for an interview regarding his intentions. (And some handy plot exposition!) Do you think Jensen would mind if Garrett handling telling Jared whatever he needed to know to navigate the troubled waters, or would he be embarrassed? I imagine Garrett's had to do that before.
Do you think the nude modelling sessions in class are going to be more difficult now that Jared & Jensen are getting closer? I don't know which would be harder-having strangers stare at you while they drew...or having somebody you're attracted to doing it. Either way, it's got to feel odd.
It just occurred to me to wonder how Jensen got into it in the first place. It's not something I'd think he'd be naturally drawn to, unless he just really needed a job and it was posted somewhere. Dishwashing in the college cafeteria I could see for its safe anonymity; or even tutoring.
*muses*
I'm sure all will be revealed in time, as the Muse wills. *sighs* Folks sometimes don't realize how *hard* writing is; even naturally gifted writers have to work at it. There's nothing like that feeling of inspiration when it starts rolling through your veins, though, and the words drip off the pen...or keyboard.
*eyes own somnolent Muse with considerable aggravation*
True. I just don't think it would occur to Jared to do something so rude. And yeah. climbing into bed with Jensen would have gone bad. Real bad.
condoms--Already on that one. :) No cucumber demo though.
I don't think there will be a Garrett POV chapter, but yeah, he's got some things to say to Jared at this point. There are holes in Garrett's knowledge though, things Jared is only gonna be able to get from Jensen.
Nude modeling with Jared in the class--also in the works.
Jensen's class schedule is brutal, and finding the right ours didn't work out that first semester, and the modeling gig fit. And---he had some other reasons too. :) tutoring=talking. That's a no-go.
Inspiration felt sooo good. I hadn't really written since I finished RollerBall. (I don't feel like the kitty-fic counted).
No cucumber demo? Damn! I could just see his mom saying very earnestly that she *was* going to use a banana, but decided on a cucumber because it was more proportional.
I've never seen Rollerball, so I didn't read that fic. I saw the part 2 of the kitty-fic come through & haven't had a chance to look that up yet, but it looked cute.
It's so frustrating when you want to write but you can't get the focus-or you can't get the *time*. When I'm tired and stressed, forget it-the Muse is in a coma. And unless I've got a really interesting idea, I just can't be bothered to try. When I force a fic or poem through without inspiration, it's screamingly obvious. *winces*
I know that Sweet Charity auction is going on right now. I'm tempted to go bid on somebody...can't really afford it, because once I start I *know* I'll get carried away! The idea of having my own stable of talented writers to gimme fic as I like it-! *gets briefly excited*
I'm lucky that I get to pawn the occasional bunny off onto people. It's interesting to see what can come of discussions, or what they can make of an idea I had-to see it filtered through somebody else's imagination. Very frustrating that I can't get it to come out the way I want when I try it myself.
Oh, well. Thanks for telling me stuff, I like to know. Makes me feel all smug and shit. *coughs*
Last year I tried to bid on sweet charity and couldn't figure out the sign ups and bidding and crap. I had a few projects in mind and couldn't find the right guys to do it and got all frustrated.. I think (if I had the money) I'd put a reverse-charity in my lj, where I name projects and budgets and see if I can get artists and writers (not trying to low-bid each other, either first-come or I'd be willing to have more than one done.)
Rollerball is really original fic using the movie's sport. No movie-watching required. Because wow. Not-good movie. If you get around to reading it, I'd love to hear your feedback. I'm actually considering a sequel. :)
