alex51324: The Loft is weird
alex: I can't imagine what Blair's bedroom is supposed to be. There's no good reason for it to have windows looking out on the rest of the apartment
alex: Although the Complete Lack of Privacy does have interesting implications
me: yeah, it's like a weird office or storage area or something
me: he doesn't even have a door

the weird thing is they really *didn't* intend it to be slashy. not that they minded when they found out who their fanbase was :P

[alex51324]

Yeah? It really requires wheels within wheels to come up with any other explanation for some of the choices they made. Not just the living together, but the constant touching!? And the spirit animals merging? Gayest. Canon. Ever.

[zelempa]

I KNOW THEY ARE CANONICALLY MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY MEANT FOR EACH OTHER

THAT IS ALL THE KINDS OF MEANT FOR EACH OTHER YOU CAN BE!

Sorry, TS reduces me to all-caps sometimes.

Supposedly, one reason why we have no canon hugs, barring the doozy in Blind Man's Bluff, is that the UPN PTB (as opposed to Bilson/De Meo) started panicking about teh gay. But yeah, Jim and Blair are ridiculously boundary-less in all sorts of quite amazingly delicious ways. "No man, we don't need doors because you can hear me whacking off, and I know you know that I know you can hear me, so no problem..."

[zelempa]

Man. There was some entity *reducing the amount of gay*? What we've got is the *less gay* version?

[mab_browne]

So I have heard. Less gay. Yup... ;-)

Not exactly relevant to this post, but...

You don't know me, but I somehow ended up on your LJ. And all your fic is wonderful, and I love your recaps of TS, and your drawings are great, and you write interesting posts too! So I friended you. Hi!

Hi! Thanks! I'm glad you like -- hey, that's everything! :D *preens*

Well, I've always loved the way they don't explain things. It allows my imagination full license. The loft is indeed weird if you look at the floor plan. It's been a while for me, but I seem to remember a door to the outside from Jim's bedroom. Why would it be there? Also, Blair's room has a door to the outside that seems to be to a fire escape? It definitely is like no other room I'm familiar with, but then I don't know anything about conversions

[alex51324]

Oh, that is a good logical explanation for the French doors, that Jim already had them somewhere, and they fit the doorway, so it didn't make sense (sort of) to go find actual, solid doors that would provide real privacy.

I actually find it sort of adorable that Blair is tucked into this privacy-less cubbyhole right under Jim's room, but it's nice to have a semi-reasonable explanation for it.

[zelempa]

According to the floorplan, both of them have doors to the outside in their bedrooms? What the hell? Isn't Jim's room on the second floor? Hey, isn't the whole apartment on the third floor? Maybe they're both fire escapes. Aren't those usually windows, though? Weird.

Yeah, that door explanation makes sense. Canon for me now. Thanks!

[mab_browne]

From recollection I think that they rearranged the set at some point, so that also confuses the situation. Also, if you ever get the chance to watch The Flash as done by Bilson and De Meo (it's the spouse's fault, truly! Although RB's episode is a hoot) they clearly reused their sets later in TS, and Barry Allen's apartment, although quite different, has disconcertingly loft-like bits.

[alex51324]

Okay, I just realized something. At the end of the Naomi episode--the one with the big rigs? Naomi *slips Jim Blair's tongue*.

The tongue she cooked for him, I mean. And Jim *likes* it!

Gayest. Canon. Ever.
