Gahh, my freaking mom.

Seriously, it's like slash actively upsets her. Just the thought of me slashing characters in shows we both watch/books we both read disgusts her. I've already made posts about this! Her instance that she knows way more about homosexuality than I do is fucking infuriating

*hug* I'm really sorry you're not in a more supportive environment slash-wise. My brother rolls his eyes when I talk about it, but there's no drama involved.

I don't know if it helps, but I slash Tony/Gibbs and I'm already looking for that episode! *g*

"Good boy." *shiver* That's so hot.

[xidiomaticlogic]

-sigh- It sucks. Though the weird thing is, it's not like I'm not in a supportive environment for other things. My mom isn't at all homophobic, but like I said, she acts like we're benevolent aliens. And I still haven't been able to convince her that AIDS isn't a "gay disease".

Tony/Gibbs is *delicious*. They're both gorgeous, have such fantastic on-screen chemistry, and their characters are perfect for each other.

There was a marathon on today and it's like they selected the episodes for slashiness. Some highlights of the day:

-The "good boy" bit.
-Gibbs getting shot and Tony rushing to him and wrapping his arms around him.
-Tony and Gibbs talking on the phone all sleepy and disheveled.
-Tony begging Gibbs to let him stay at his house and eventually getting him to give in.
-Tony caressing a medal that was awarded to Gibbs before putting it in his little locked box of Gibbs paraphernalia.
-Gibbs walking Tony along on his twisted ankle with an arm around his waist...

etc. Like, tons of the EPIC slashy episodes. XD

And this, of course, would be the day when, in a positively saintly display of self-denial, I chose to shun the NCIS marathon in favour of writing papers. I'm sure when Monday came and I was short about 30 pages' worth of content, I might've regretted the lost day, but right now? Noooot worth it.

I don't doubt he'd sleep with anyone who made him feel pretty.

Absolutely.

[xidiomaticlogic]

Aiiigh, I'm sorry you missed it. It was fantastic. I spent the day chopping food bits and polishing silver for tomorrow, so I could spare half my brain for the glory that is NCIS.

Absolutely.
I think it sums up a *lot* of Tony's character, poor dear.

I'm beginning to get the feeling that I'm just naturally attracted to men/characters with low self-esteem and/or are attention starved. Every time Tony comes onscreen, I just want to give him the world's biggest hug. XD -dork-

Don't worry, in two or three generations homophobia and that stuff should be dead, and technology will be advanced enough that every TV series is personalised for each individual so you can choose who hooks up with who.

[xidiomaticlogic]

"every TV series is personalised for each individual so you can choose who hooks up with who."

Now THAT would be something. <3

And... you know how when people ask you if you want to be immortal the correct response is "no" because you'd presumably go mad spending eternity watching the world change? Yeah, screw that, I would love to be able to perpetually keep an eye on things and revel every single time something got a bit better. Homophobia is something I wish I could be around to see die, but I don't think I will be. =/

[michaeljritchie]

I don't wish to be alive forever, no, but I think it should be like the novel "The Lovely Bones" or something.

i.e. After you die you can still watch what happens in the world. It'd be great. Personalised newspapers and all that jazz ... world CCTV. Plus, you could rewind time and see if the dinosaurs really were pink.

More importantly, how sexy am I in my avatar on this comment? Haha!

[xidiomaticlogic]

You look totally delicious, dear. <3

And that would be a rockin' afterlife.

Obviously your mom Has Read Books On The Matter and Is Now An Expert, right? :)

[xidiomaticlogic]

You have HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. My mom is a severe sufferer of I Have Read Books On The Matter syndrome. T_T

[amphigory]

Aw, that sucks that she gets so freaked out about it. I don't see what's so bad about slashing. It's not like it's hurting anyone.

[xidiomaticlogic]

I know! Like it's really any of her business who I think would make a nice couple. >_>;

[vixen_notatramp]

-hugs-

I know how you feel; my mom-- up until recently-- was the same way. THEY ARE NOT GAY OMG HOW DARE YOU SAY THEY ARE SARAH? BS.

But she came around-- by way of James Bond, oddly enough-- so I hope that your mom will chill out, too. ♥

[xidiomaticlogic]

I hope so. <3

Wait, James Bond himself, or those two guys whose names I forget who were SO gay in that one movie?

[vixen_notatramp]

It springs eternal, as they say. ♥

And hee! Okay, so long story short was that we were discussing slash in general, then DC's infamous deal for the Bond producers, then the idea that people are straight unless proven otherwise is inane and insulting.

Finally, mum is all, "Okay, I think I get it. If you see a character eat a lot of apples, it is safe to assume they enjoy apples. But not that they loathe pears, unless it is said."

And I was like, "YES AND IT ONLY TOOK ME 8 YEARS TO EXPLAIN TO YOU ADEQUATELY. OY. BUT YAY!"
