yaoi musings

[resonant]

I've been looking at yaoi scans. I never saw so many neckties in my life. I think I can safely say that there's very little American pretty-boy art that features neckties. If I develop a fetish for neckties, I'm blaming Japan.

Yaoi has been rather a revelation to me. I used to think I wasn't much turned on by visuals. Evidently I'd been looking at the wrong visuals.

And did I ever claim that I needed my smut to have a narrative? I've spent the last three days obsessively downloading pictures of characters I've never heard of speaking a language I don't read, so I guess I was wrong about that narrative stuff.

I'm now consumed with a desire to see Ray Kowalski drawn manga-style. I think that style of art would be perfect to capture the sidelong grin and the badassedness. I'm picturing it now: Fraser's tipped-back head half obscured by Ray's tattooed shoulder. Sheets clutched in the hand with the bracelet on it. Little wedge-shaped panel of the Stetson hitting the floor.

Fraser's a big guy, so I wonder why I'm convinced that he'd be the one who ended up with the big round eyes.

Aww. [Cat-eyed beaming at Miriam]

I'm not going to write manga slash. I'm having enough cross-cultural trouble with Harry Potter, which is alleged to be in my native language. I'm just going to be over here downloading dirty pictures with semi-invisible penises for a while.

Which is not to say that I'm unwilling to eye anything at all belonging to Fraser ...

Yeah--I get the cross-cultural weirdness. I mean, doing the Pros thing makes me feel less freaked about Potter. At least Potter fans are more forgiving (esp. since so many have read the books in the translated American-English versions).

As for Fraser and his bottom *g*... Beth showed me "Buffalo Jump," and ever since then, Fraser's body has reasserted itself as an object of fascination in my subconscious.

Ray's never left, of course.

And in the weird front, after sitting through two horrid episodes of that "Tracker" show, I am actually on the verge of going back and rereading all the half-way decent Turnbull slash. Because, when he isn't being Turnbull, he's actually sort of my type.

hey, feel free to grab me if you want an enabler in Turnbull-land. Yummy, yummy, yummy.
