What
-Just googled "Torsten Barring" and apparently that's the pseudonym of some gay BDSM porn author.
AHAHAHAHAHA. I am willing to bet my life it's a slash fangirl behind that pseud, too. Because, let's face it, it's written gay porn and most of that is written by slash fangirls anyway and you can practically hear the serial numbers being filed off. But AHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's fucking *awesome*. Pretty much the sort of pseud I'd choose, too. Even though Torsten isn't really a slashy character at all, but pretty much the epitome of hot evil het that's so hot and evil it's just as good as enemyslash at its best. Although, TBH, I had some ideas for a fic where Anna wonders if Torsten is a secret/latent homosexual and just hates women deep inside because he can't truly ever love them and all that kind of old-fashioned stuff. (Is there a trope for "sadist towards women because he's closeted and can't admit it to himself?" I mean, it was a thing way back when and would fit something set in 1941, but that would be a bit of a dying trope now in Western society because homosexuality's become more acceptable these days? Not that there aren't depressingly many misogynist gay men out there even today, but I am talking about the sort of character who either doesn't know he's gay or is in deep denial and whose attempts at heterosexuality are just fraught with hate?) Oh, and did I mention you really need to see A Woman's Face? Why aren't you watching it yet? Hmm?
-I also swear to god I'd only just made that reaction gif and I'm glad I immediately found use for it.
-Still have stupid headaches. My head had better not explode just yet. There's fic to write and shit. And by that, I mean The Persiaverse--the Doctor/Master one, rather than the Thief of Bagdad stuff. It's so close to completion, damn it. Last chapter, guys. Last chapter.
