Fandom?
Fandom.
Joe's face.
Where is the love of Joe's face? Of people doing inappropriate things to Joe's face?
Do I still have it? Should I?
It seems like people are mostly epically :/ face about everything today. I can't say I feel any different. This fandom multiplies everything by 11 it feels like. Reaction to new, interesting material: OMG X 11!!!!! Reaction to lack of new, interesting material: WHAT IS THE POINT ANYMORE X 11!!!!! And these are MY feelings I'm talking about. I think people were and are frustrated that they can't write or read as much as they want to (I AM X 11!!!!!!!). So what felt like a threat to people's possible fic productivity was not something that seemed funny.
Still. Is it all that bad? Really. This could be like some fandoms we know where NOTHING HAPPENS FOR DAYS. I mean, pap shots should still be considered material, right? Joe's got a face that (while less magical to me as of late) is still perfect. Nick's got a face, a face that literally CANNOT HIDE what he thinks about ANYTHING. A problem I'm unfortunately intimately aware of. Also they give us backdrops and scenarioes.
Examples:
- Joe and Nick experience sexual tension on a boat thanks to Nick dressing like an actual prostitute.
- Joe and Nick experience sexual tension at a family brunch where under the table Joe is holding Demi's hand on one side, and rubbing Nick's knee with his on the other.
And Kevin's whereabouts need never be addressed in fic now because you can reasonably assume he's shopping with his wife or putting bows in his dog's hair. (Unless it's AU Kevron).
Also, I'm pretty sure one day that show they're filming will be on TV again. And the Camp Rock movie (with bonus promotion). I just wish we could bank on new music (she says as she eyes Joe's collab shenanigans and ignores Bulldozer). And Joe and Nick will be needing ice cream in the summer. Or to cavort around fucking shirtless in a pool (give it to me now, oh ye Gods of Young Hollywood Men).
I mean, this could be Johnny Weir slash! A fandom that has to intentionally write its main love interest as OOC so as to believably write him kissing the same person he's been a condescending douche to for the past four years (Evan Lysacek: yeah, he's AWFUL). Or you're slashing him with Stephane Lambiel, who is a mindbending potential character (simple questions like, "Is he attractive?" or "Does he make sense?" are so hard to answer.)
I mean, aren't we all lucky that writing Joe as in love with his brother is TECHNICALLY considered to be IN CHARACTER. I think so. No, I know so.
Dudes. Let's write fic about Joe and Nick and their lovely, fictional sexual tension to each other and every single person they come near. That means you. If you need ideas, I hear there's a kink meme going on.
Also, consider this a chance to give me a kick in the ass about the things I said I'd write you and never did.
ETA: Again this is about my feelings alone re: fandom. I've been all bleh about things and I want to lose myself in fic about faces apparently.
