red braces. wait. what. i am insane. proof in fic.

I was having a moderately shit day at work today, but then I saw a COUPLE of MFB* FIRE RESCUE BLOKES. OH DUDE. I WAS INSTANTLY HAPPY. Their "uniform" (as they call it. I call it a costume) is a bit different from regular firies who have the yellow pants-navy top-red braces combo (which I know and love). Fire Rescue Dudes have heavy-duty brown

WOOT \o/

Well I certainly enjoyed that :-)

If I ever meet up with you IRL, I shall have to decide whether to acquire red braces or not first - a tricky decision for several reasons, nit least because my anatomy is not very braces!compatible.

One small typo, I think - "18th Century Whore books," --- probably boots?

Also "andfeedmecheesefortherestofourdays." pings my brain as "and feed me cheese for the rest o four days" which might be a more tempting length of time.

Also "Jeremy Clarkson's collection of shirts" - my mileage may vary - yum ;-)

*g* Mwahaha! I mean, I'm glad you enjoyed it. \o/

Braces don't always suit those of us with prominent boobs. But that doesn't mean it not still very HOT. Anything to do with red braces really. I guess it depends if you want to be ravished by me or not! ;-)

I think Gary is flexible in that regard. I don't know if he meant a consistent feeding of cheese. Perhaps he'd like some breaks in there for sleeping, bathing, demon-arse-spawn making and other activities.

Maybe it should have been Jeremy Clarkson's jeans. Though, again, opinion would be divided. But they're not red braces, that's for sure. ;-P

[elfwhistletree]

Well, the story suggests that wearing red braces might initiate but then eventually distract from the ravishing - hence the dilemma ;-)

And someone cleverer than me from the Clarkson Lust Brigade needs to make a manip of Jezza in red braces so you can be properly conflicted ♥

[johnnypurple]

ps. thanks for picking up on the typos! I don't know how, or where, one would wear 18th Century Whore books! :)

Yay for intetnional badfic! and what an impressive list of people to become firepeople! (you know my brother's a fireman. I don't think the red braces work on him though.)

[johnnypurple]

It's so much fun to write! I only had vague inkling, but now I know! Which is perhaps dangerous knowledge, dangerous for my other SRS writing.

I guess in that reality there are a lot of fires that need to be put out. Mainly fires in people's pants, which is possibly due to all the red braces. It's a vicious firy circle. ;-)

Your brother, eh? Are red braces part of the fireman costume in the States? Hmm?

[captlebubbles]

I admire people who can write intentional badfic, because I can't. It takes a strong writer to put in all those mistakes and then not fix them.

I rather like the red braces myself. And I think they're a part of the uniform but I'm not sure.

Might have enjoyed that a bit too much for words.

This line really did it for me:

It wasn’t a real electric shock, don’t worry. It’s not like Clea Duvall had her red braces wired up with some electrical current or anything to try and trick Jessie.

But mmm, Oldman in a fireman's outfit is a lovely image. Thanks for making my day :D

[johnnypurple]

*g* yay! I'm happy to be of service! :D

Oldman in a fireman's outfit is a lovely image. It is, isn't it? Maybe I shall have to make some sort of crappy LOL-manip to further illustrate the point. Hmm. *plots*

[swing_set]

You are wonderful.

<3

:D

Haha, this was great! :D I love red braces too - once I went into a shop and saw them selling red braces (and blue too) and I was so shocked, I gasped and nearly inhaled my Polo!

Also, Gary Oldman in red braces! Rawr! (And Wolvie, too, but Wolvie is hot anyway.)

[johnnypurple]

yay! another red braces devotee! i'm glad you didn't die from polo inhaling, but it would have been a worthy and heroic death! ;-)

Your comment seems to suggest that you not think Gary is hot as he is, with or without red braces. Sacrilege! Though I guess each to her own. Wolvie, I imagine, would be wearing the red braces and no top on underneath. It would be trés hot.

[fyrethief]

It would have indeed. Not so long ago, we stopped at motorway services (no idea what the Australian equivalent is, sorry) and there was a huge number of firies washing cars for charity. There must have been about 40 of them, at least. I NEARLY SWOONED. Unfortunately, they weren't as hot as the firies in your new post ;) but STILL. All those red braces! Wet red braces & wet t-shirts!

To be perfectly honest, I've only seen Gary in Batman & Harry Potter. I particularly love him as Jim Gordon ♥, and while I have recently read a few delightful Jim Gordon/Batman-or-Bruce-Wayne Nolanverse fics, I still don't really... know Gary. If that makes sense? I feel a bit "new" to Gary.

That image is so hot (and is so badly encouraged by your manip!). I feel like perhaps fic needs to be written about it, in which Wolverine is seriously wearing red braces. With no shirt underneath. There would be devastation.

whoa. long comment is long. soz about that. ;-)

[johnnypurple]

Oh man! That sounds AWESOME! Did they also make out with each other for extra tips??!?!??!? I would have been doing obscene things that would possibly have resulted in my being arrested, but it would have been TOTES WORTH IT! XD

We don't really have motorway services quite the same as the UK (not nearly as massive and depressing) but I do know what you mean. We stopped in a couple when we were driving from London to Scotland when we were travelling, back 3 years ago now or something.

If you're interested in dipping into Gary's oeuvre, what you need to remember is that he often plays villains and he often ends up dead (whether playing a villain or not). So you get to see him die a lot, in various gruesome and inventive ways. But he is an awesome actor and very entertaining and talented and the roles he plays are amazingly varied.

I recommend:
-Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (he's very young and with his boyfriend Tom Roth in this one (see icon!); a clever, funny and slashy film, despite the death. Basically it's Hamlet
