My canon has measuring tape

[hope]

One of the fanfiction tropes that really doesn't gel with me in Torchwood Jack/Ianto slash is the one where Ianto's body structure/type is lean and delicate (in contrast to Jack's beefy manliness, of course). Because, seriously, even knowing of the epic airbrushing of torsos in The Hothouse Scene, are you BLIND?


WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DENY THE EXISTENCE OF THAT ADORABLE POT BELLEH??

And speaking of, one of the reasons I love this cast diary video so much is because of the extended groping-of-John-Barrowman's-muffin-top scene [around 1.30 timestamp].

*cackles with glee*

Meanwhile, because naturally I cannot keep my 'shipping glee out of this post (not that I'm trying to), I have such epic love for these screencaps:





/end shippy ramble.

Oh, show fandom 'ship.

bwahah! Yeah, I think the lines of a suit can be quite suggestive of leanness especially with a good fit and cut. But really, even covered up I'd not call it "lithe"!!

But they've never been that good at filming Barrowman or GDL in a way that makes them look toned.

Eh, and I quite like it like that (obv!). I find muffin tops and bellies of all kinds quite adorable. I prefer the genuine no-really,-we-live-off-pizza-in-a-hole-in-the-ground look to the gym-every-day look :D

... Oh, Facebook. I think that's a fourth wall I'd prefer to avoid for this fandom *g*

Oh I adore Gareth - although he might want to re-think some of the rock god poses sometimes at his gigs when he's wearing tight black t-shirts. I love that the little posse who go to his gigs are generally good about not posting the awful ones on line - I was quite selective in what I put up on the website.

Oh I have no problems with muffin tops and neither of them are big blokes anyway - JB especially is looking quite trim these days- all that insane Tigger on red bull dancing he's been doing for the song sections in Tonight's the Night.

Generally I don't tend to bother with Facebook but friended GDL an age ago - when he was in the US he used it a fair bit and provided everyone with much joy with the photos he posted which ranged from super cute ones of him and Gemma to downright hilarious - he announced his engagement on their today.

[hope]

I'm generally avoiding GDL-specific stuff... Or not seeking it out, rather. I'm in that fannish zone right now where I don't want the real people to infringe on my beloved characters *g*

That said, JB is pretty unavoidable when one's living in the UK, hee.

Has Tonight's the Night started already?

GDL is so so so far from Ianto that it's not at all difficult to keep them separate - he's quite the actor!

I love Ianto but I prefer GDL - moody bastard and all.

Tonight's the Night starts on Saturday but I've been to every taping so far - there are recaps in my journal. JB's looking good - live it's a fantastic show - will be interesting to see how it edits together. The tapings are fab - so far he's managed to embarrass every family member or friend he's bought with him to the show by making them sing - his partner Scott, sister Carole, his publisher, Daniel Boys...

[hope]

Wow, you certainly are on the ball! I don't think I have the emotional fortitude to cross that sort of fourth wall on a regular basis myself. Phew.

Must remember to keep an eye out on iplayer :D
