::hides head:: Somebody posted David/Freema RPF without an LJ cut on lifeonmartha and I saw it while scrolling down and now I need the brain bleach. Someone pass me the bottle, please
( Read more... )
David Tennant and Freema Ageyman from Doctor Who. ::points to icon:: RPF makes my brain itch. It's a thing.
And wouldn't it be cool if I was related to Barney? Last time I was there, I was ordering sturgeon for my parents and the guy thought I was joking when I said to send it to someone named Greengrass! I whipped out my driver's license. No, really, my name is Greengrass :)
Honestly, even if I can't prove a connection, I'll always believe it, because the picture of Barney hanging in the store looks a lot like my dad!
Then I suppose you haven't followed the controversy over the RPS fic that sends her actors to Cambodia and uses the Killing Fields as backdrop for Hot Sex?
On the whole RPF thing, I don't *object* to it, but I don't get it, either. The appeal for me in fanfic has always been the characters, not the actors who play them. MEGO at the mooning over actors stuff, and RPF/RPS just seems to me like an extension of that.
OTOH, I am interested in issues of cultural appropriation even if I don't care about TV actor objectification, so I read the above-referenced story and a lot of the commentary on it.
I think Greengrass is unusual enough that there has to be some connection. My family name on my mother's father's side is Yamron. We're the only ones, which I think is cool - all the Yamrons in the world are related to us.
I don't object to RPS/RPF, but I definitely don't get it. ::shrug:: It's like the whole incest thing: I'm not going to tell anyone what they can and can't write, but it squicks me.
There are actually a bunch of unrelated Greengrass folks, but they're mainly from England. I can't tell if we're related to all or most of the non-British ones.
Note to the person who posted the offending thing: I'm sorry, David's got Sophia Myles. I think he's probably pretty happy. ;-)
I've got a distant cousin on one side (in Blighty) who's apparently working on geneology stuff over there. And I know I had someone on the other side of the family doing the same thing. It's pretty cool, but waaaaay more difficult for us than it is for some of the goyim...
In the one lone piece of celeb gossip I know, David and Sophia apparently broke up. But I still don't want to read about David and Freema. :D Or any other real people.
And yeah, it tends to be difficult to track down when much of one's family died in the Holocaust. But I'd be happy just to find out back to my great-grandparents' generation.
It's also hard because we don't have christening and (often) marriage and death records, to go by since our ancestors didn't register with churches. But yeah, there are lots of difficulties.
Finally the person who posted that David/Freema RPF put in a damn LJ-cut.
I had actually commented because I was so annoyed that for a fic someone hadn't done a cut. And her lame excuse before putting the cut in was that she'd tried to put one in and it hadn't worked! :headdesk:
Yeah, that's a pretty lame excuse. I mean, if it's a G-rated drabble, I grant you the time to go read the FAQ, but RPF porn...delete the bloody post and start again!

Regardless of RPF, the last thing I need popping up on my screen at work is uncut pr0n. Grr. Argh.
