You asked me how they hooked ME in so strongly - and truly, I've always had a thing for twins! It was the concept of "another yourself," kind of, just this...identical person who shared everything in your life. When I got into slash, two identical boys was just....10000x hotter than any kind of regular slash. I mean, I developed an entire race who has their first sexual experience with their twin. :P
With Kaulitzes, there's just something incredibly magnetic and charismatic that reeled me in right away. The more pictures I looked at (and saved), the more fascinated I was. I asked for some fiction recs, then happened on cynical_terror and undrockroll's fiction, and any RPS squeamishness I had was completely overtaken by the utter hot wonderfulness of Tom and Bill.
I have never looked back. :3
You know, Bill says he is NOT a role model, but I think he is a pretty good one no matter what he feels about it. :P
I hadn't realised you invented the youko race -- and that you did it for that purpose. But I'm so, so happy you did.
Oh, and TH was your first RPS fandom! Aww. :D My first slash fandom was LotR and my first RPS fandom was LotRips -- one after the other, but I started to read RPS pretty soon after I discovered FPS. It was in 2003. It amuses me that twincest wasn't a factor you had to overcome to be able to enjoy RPS but it probably helped!
Bill is a good role model! He works hard and he's polite and he's not afraid to look what he wants to look like (or look like he has to after losing a bet >_>). ♥
I'm watching the backstage interview right now and I love the part where Bill talks about his dream girl. Tom fidgets so much and tries to steal the mike, and it's easy to interpret it as discomfort when Bill talks about his soul mate who's out there. "I'm right here!" Tom's restless knees say. And I love that Bill pushes Tom's hand away and keeps holding on to his arm/wrist for a while. Mmmm. And then I'm so amused by Tom
( ... )
ACK NO I DIDN'T INVENT YOUKO I only meant, my version of youko. That was badly phrased on my part.
Yes, my very first RPS fandom! For me, the twincest was the hook. ;)
Bill doesn't want to think he is. ;)
Omg I know, Tom is very discomfited by the soulmate talk! He just does not want to hear it! I am happy you enjoyed the interview, me too, and of course all I see is twins!
Nah, it's not a canon reference. In this fic Tay makes a convincing case that Bill shaved the sides of his head because he lost a bet with Tom, and I thought it was funny (and possibly true, if not likely), so that's why I mentioned it. :)
