Re: Creative Impulses, Psych, Juliet/Shawn, Top Gun roleplaykindness_saysFebruary 1 2011, 18:09:27 UTC
Hahaha, you're welcome! And HOORAY! I was like, "I-I...really should watch Top Gun, shouldn't I?" but I didn't have time, and I didn't really want to, and, anyway, when I tried to imagine them + this particular brand of bedroom roleplay, I kept picturing Juliet cracking up and Shawn being like, "... =|" and - well, I won't go on, because that's a whole 'nother scene that's in my head and maybe will get written one day!! <3 But, yeah. Additionally - I was at the tail end of a slow Psych rewatch (that ended today, in fact), and Porn Battle/this prompt came at almost the exact right time for me to rewatch Academy! Which, of course, is whence this comes, and Shawn does that thing where he inhales the jacket, and Jules is like, "..." and here we are today.
Eeeee, I'm so glad you liked it!! I ship them like burning, but I was super-nervous because, I never write anything for my shows? Or, um, ever, basically. Time + fear of getting things wrong + inability to finish anything. And, in this case, obviously, I wasn't sure if maybe you (whoever you were) were looking for some kind of super-hot dom/sub graphic scene, and I was like, AUUUUUGH, I CAN'T DO THAT!! at least, not in this fandom, with this couple. <3 But I thought, okay, I'm sure someone will enjoy it, even if it's not what the OP wanted...BUT IT WORKED OUT FOR YOU, TOO, WHICH IS EXTRA-WONDERFUL.
Sorry, I'm a little - oversugared or something right now. I'm not normally like this.

Hah. I'm glad you're pleased. I just watched Academy as well, hence the prompt. You should definitely write more Psych fic, fears about getting something you love wrong aside. Your character voices are very good.
It's an odd fic craving for me for several reasons: 1) I am actually not a Shules shipper, though I do enjoy them together. 2) Psych is always kind of weird for porn, right? I mean, it's hard to write serious porn about this show (hence my assertion that you struck a very nice balance). 3. I'm primarily a femslasher.
As for Top Gun, I refused to watch the whole thing again (haven't seen it for years), but I may have rewatched a few scenes for the sake of accurate roleplay :)
Re: Creative Impulses, Psych, Juliet/Shawn, Top Gun roleplaykindness_saysFebruary 1 2011, 20:37:43 UTC
1) Oh, I thought that might be what you meant. I thought I'd throw that out there anyway, though, before you gave me too much credit. =) Do you ship something else in Psych? Or is it just not a very shippy show for you, since it's kind of...locked and loaded?
2) Uh, yeah, definitely. Funny story about that and shipping and stuff: When my friend and I picked up the show, I'd seen one random episode (the telenovela one, actually; so I was very confused as to what the average ep was like XD) and besides that what I knew about it was that there was a Shawn/Gus bromance and people were into it. (Actually, I thought it was the main ship? Like Dan/Casey in Sports Night, or similar. But...all the boys read really straight to me in spite of their hilariously homoerotic moments? But I've bought it at least once in fic? But, that said - weirdly, I guess the main ship is actually Shawn/Lassiter? This...confuses me, because I have yet to come across more than four sentences of it that's characterized in a way I buy. x_x; BUT YOU NEVER KNOW; I'm not looking that hard, and I've had my eyes opened to unexpectedly interesting pairings many a time by good writing. If you happen to be a Shassie/Sharlton/Spenciter (AHAHA, that bit cracked me up) person, feel free to point me somewhere where I might buy it. ;D)
Oh, right, but the reason I was rambling about this was, my friend and I were talking about it, and beyond the whole reading-straight thing, we were like, "This is the thing...the Shassie banter can be quite hilarious (those four lines I read were pretty funny), but...disturbingly, most Shassie seems to be, like, kinky poorly-characterized porn. o_o" and my friend, in particular was like, "I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT CARLTON HAVING SEX." I don't think it bothers me quite as much; but I rambled a whole bunch about this somewhere in comments or my LJ or something, about how - I can read some pretty fucked-up stuff in certain fandoms, but there are other ones like Psych or Friends or whatever where I just...like, hard-kink porn is NOT somewhere I want to go. It's like TMI about my best friend or my cousin or something. Or maybe I'm just weird, idk. ^^;
3) Oh, I stalked over to your journal and noticed that. =) So I also thought that might be what you meant, too. BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD ASK ANYWAY.
Top Gun) I think...I maybe...missed the boat on the Tom Cruise thing? Like, by the time I was old enough to care, he was already crazy? And it's like, "..."
Re: Creative Impulses, Psych, Juliet/Shawn, Top Gun roleplaylettersandsodasFebruary 1 2011, 22:31:33 UTC
1) Hmm. I love the Shawn/Gus friendship, but I don't see it as sexual. I liked Shabigail and like Shules because I think they've both been done well, but I'm not really committed to them. My dream ship, of course, is Vick/O'Hara, but I will admit to there being no textual basis whatsoever for that. I just think Vick is super hot. And don't even get me started on Polar!Vick. :)
2. I want Shawn and Gus to be together forever, but I don't really see them having TEH SEX under normal circumstances. They're just so silly, you know? That said, I like them more than Shassie. Carlton and Shawn have got the whole tension thing going on, so I enjoy stories with a lot of banter between them, but then... well, I also have to admit to finding Lassie the opposite of sexy, so maybe it's just me. There is a surprising amount of kink in that pairing, though.
3. Yep. The porn battle expands my boundaries a couple of times a year :)
I never liked the movie. I thought Maverick was an a-hole.
Re: Creative Impulses, Psych, Juliet/Shawn, Top Gun roleplaykindness_saysFebruary 1 2011, 23:47:45 UTC
1) Oh, I totally adore Shawn and Gus. I'm just not great at shipping them? Idk, I go back and forth. I think sometimes with childhood friends especially, I'm like, "Euuurgh," because I've had the same best friend since I was seven, and the idea of us hooking up is like AUUUUGH MY EYES, MY EYES. Then again, sometimes we like to write best friends getting together, so maybe that's a lie; it just depends, I guess. OH PSYCH. My favorite thing about Psych is how much I love everybody. Abigail! I was very fond of her. I'm very superficial, so I'm like PRETTY (oh, and I wanted that blue bra, that one time), and she was cute and she worked with Shawn and I bought their chemistry. I wasn't like particularly upset the way other people were because, whatever, that's the way it goes. (To be fair, though; I didn't meet her until I knew she got written off later. Watching in real-time I might have flailed more at the triangling.)
Vick/O'Hara: HAHAHA. I was wondering...(since you are mostly a femslasher)? But then I was like, "Yeah, probably not; Psych doesn't really lend itself to girlslashing as much..." As much as I'm into Jules (HELLO ROLLER DERBY EPISODE; MAGGIE LAWSON, WHO ARE YOU), when I try to imagine dating her (no, I don't do this seriously; but you know what I mean) I feel like I'd have to genderswap myself or something...idk, maybe I'm just weird. Karen feels a little more sexually flexible to me, but I'm not as into her? I guess? (I can see why you are, though! Pretty! Also, the power thing.) Slash, I think I don't think about her as much because she's married? ...If she weren't, I would probably have a Pair the Spares impulse to hook her up with Carlton. XD It's an age thing and a personality thing; I find putting Jules and Lassie together weird (besides being, um, a little incestuous)... I kind of liked the polar prompts, though, since you mention it. (Did you submit those, too?) I find the idea of Polar!Carlton/Our!Jules disturbing, but the idea of Polar!Jules/Our!Carlton hilarious. I hadn't given that much thought to Polar!Vick, probably because she's non-English-speaking, and that would require some extra research on my part. XDDDDDD
2) Shawn and Gus will be together forever. I am a strong believer in the power of permanent best-friendship, as noted above. (Ugh, ugh, ugh. My friend and I used to read all these comments about people being like, "I hate this and this, Gus should dump Shawn," or whatever, mostly about like jackassery and...you know. And I'm like, I get that; if I knew Shawn in real life I'd probably be kind of like, "..................." too, but I don't...ever get on board with being like, "HOW CAN YOU STILL BE FRIENDS?" because, it's like - I don't know. I'm always like, "Have you ever had a real best friend?!" when I read those.
Haha...reading TEH SEX gave me and image and then I cringed. I think I tend to measure things based on whether imagining them doing it makes me cringe or not... XD (I did read one shippy fic of them that was totally adorable, though; but they didn't get farther than kissing. I would have started feeling weird probably. x_X) Alas, some fandoms are just easier to multiship than others. Then again, **
Yeah, I don't find Carlton particularly sexy. XD LAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSIEEE. <3

OH AND ALSO ALL THE THINGS - like Tim Omundson writing Lassie's twitter! SQUIRRELASSASSINS.COM!!!
...You may've never known about these. I wouldn't have if not for reading tvtropes one night. They have so much like...random stuff, it's like HIMYM, it's great, comma splicing is fun sometimes.
