Musings on The Tattoo

[msgenevieve]

I've started yet another story (what can I say, I'm a little obsessed at the moment) and I'm sitting here thinking about the lack of Michael's tattoo (okay, Wentworth without his shirt on) in Season Two and being annoyed that we didn't see anything more than a few glimpses of tattooed forearm in the whole season, and wondering if we'll get to see

It scares me how much I want to know this

No, I've thought long and hard about this too! I wouldn't mind sacrificing glimpses of the tattoo throughout the season if we get one STEAMY, SHIRTLESS TEH_SEX SCENE. In which case, we'd get to see the tatt and hopefully some reference to the burn - it would bring out Sara's innder doc, surely.

You and me, we be sharing a brain. *grins* I've written about this so many times that I have to keep reminding myself that it hasn't happened in canon. Yet.

I'm one of the few people that would like to see TEH_SEX happen in Sona (how/if that's even possible, I have no idea. But mrs_spleen wrote a piece that is so perfect to what I imagined, I almost died when I read it).

I think if Sara was to witness and be in an enviroment like Sona, it would make her even more anxious and concerned for Michael's well being. I can picture her stressing over any cuts and brusises that Michael may sustain while in prison, inspecting all injuries, delicately running her fingers across his burn, and then - long story short, the both of them getting it on.

*ahem*

I've been toying with the idea of Sona!sex over the last few days, I have to admit. Oh, the angst! The desperation! The checking out of wounds all over!

Hee.

These guys are so great with their continuity (just not timelines) so I'll say a definite YES to burn still being there.

And I can think of three circumstances in which we might see Michael without a shirt.
a) plan
b)peril
c)pleasure

And of course with a) I mean the sort of plan that involves the shirt having to come off, not the tatt of course. Fingers crossed for c) though eh?

These guys are so great with their continuity
Err... mostly... but we had absolutely no evidence of balance/pain problems from Michael in Season Two, even though he was still in pain from the burn, his toes wound would probably have opened, and he definitely would have ran a bit differently :p And the burn would probably have festered a little more than it did... he *was* still being treated for it in episode 18.

So who knows???

Oh and while I'm here, PUGNAc withdrawal? Morphine withdrawal? Anyone? Anyone? No?

But I'm all for sex, all the same XD

[msgenevieve]

Sadly, you're quite right, however, it *does* give one more fodder for fanfic when one feels the need to redress these oversights, lol! *g*

[accrues]

YAY.

They had better put Alex into withdrawal, otherwise I really will scream. I mean, that's just too much of an oversight.

I was going through some stuff today and realised that I'd kept some PB and Wentworth Miller articles for you from the magazines I bought while in the US, so if you want 'em, email me your address and I'll send them on.

[msgenevieve]

Oh, thank you! I'll drop you a line now. *hugs you*

I agree completely on the tattoo to the point I do try to mention the need to see it whenever I have a chance to a certain staff writer I trade emails with from time to time

I've mentioned it a few times and am quickly working my way up to sublimial hints by randomly inserting the word tattoo into
every other sentence whenever I get the chance. :o)

We need shirtless full tat!!

How about making it every second word and putting it in bold? That would be pretty hard to ignore, lol!

[iwouldbegood]

OH, I'd love to see the whole tattoo again X) It's been way too long since we had a decent look at it... I do hope they don't forget the burn, but in my experience, stuff like that is often overlooked in TV shows, so I won't keep my fingers crossed for the continuity when it comes to that *sniff*

[msgenevieve]

I know he doesn't need the tattoo to escape anymore, but the boy will be changing clothes and showering and DAMN IT, we need to be there to see it, lol!
