sineala is talking about due South over here and specifically what a troll Fraser was. I watched it as a kid with my dad, and I doubt troll was a verb at that time, but I absolutely enjoyed Fraser's sense of humor and that style of passive delivery.

I saw The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and . . . it's fine. Probably wait for it to stream unless you're a fan of Pedro Pascal's face - which was delightful. I was very confused by Nicky, but ( apparently )

Watched The Batman it was good, way better than I expected. The music was excellent, it really reminded me of some of the God of War III temple music. I would absolutely like to see the evolution here for Brucie and the addition of a Robin or two. I'm not holding my breath, but definitely second favorite live action Batman after Michael Keaton.

Finished Halloween Kills since I walked out of the theater it was so stupid. It continued to be absolutely the worst.

I don't know quite how it happened, especially since I've owned the DVD sets for over a year now, but I just found an ep I hadn't seen. The season 3/4 Christmas ep, yeah, I thought it was just the fannish hive mind that kept the secret santa fics going around. It's really neat to see a new (to me) episode. I love RayK.




Samuel Colt first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of his father. For reasons that don’t particularly need exploring at this juncture, he remained attached as liaison officer to the Canadian Consulate. Some people postulate that he sticks around for his hot-ass partner in the police department - Dean Winchester. Actually, the second Dean Winchester as the first one left rather unexpectedly.

Kinks and Clichés: The Slave Fic(s)


I admit, I’ll always give a slave!fic a chance because it just hits slams so many of my buttons. For this one genre, I’ll suspend most of my reader elitism in the hopes that an image or two of the story will stick with me. Mostly, I can categorize what I want out of this cliché into two different plot lines:

Plot A: Through circumstances beyond the control of the characters, A is forced to pretend/act to be B’s slave. Either through fear for their own lives, the struggle to escape, or for some attainable goal these characters are forced together.

Plot B: While this might not be pure slave fic, it’s similar enough that I’d lump them together. This requires a gimmick, some sort of technology or drug that bonds the two people together (most likely against their wills at least at first).

Purely self-indulgent bullets as to why I like this cliché:

~ boys on their knees, angry about it, but wanting it soooo badly
~ collars, markings, or other possession signs hickeys
~ public submissions/ PDA (eg: petting, kissing, lounging)
~ hot outfits good for nothing but showing off the goods
~ bonding through needed proximity (including sleeping/unintentional cuddling)


I think that one of the main reasons that this cliché kinks the hell out of me is the plausible deniability. The character(s) in the vulnerable role get the opportunity to explore avenues that they’d never get the chance too otherwise. I don’t like fics where men are overly feminized (the quickest way to make me hit the back-button is tears when one of the guys isn’t near death or actually experiencing feminine stereotypes eg. hello mpreg.) but this is a chance for a character to either take or let go of control when maybe they couldn’t have before. Not that I’m saying that the character is going to throw off a lifetime of cultural brainwashing, but with the right buildup, this can be way hott.

I like bonding fics because enforced physical proximity can lead to so many, very interesting places. These fics often have the plus of enabling the characters to remain in familiar settings in a total unfamiliar mental headspace. Characters are forced to deal more immediately with others who are not affected and that leads to enforced growth/soul searching. The character has to fight against himself; his own body that is rebelling against what he wants/ or what he only thinks he wants.

Hey everyone. Had a very busy day today, I only got home about an hour ago from an all-day-long marathon. I'm tired. So I don't know if any of you are due Southers, but I volunteered to rec episodes for March and I figure, I might as well post it on my journal too just to keep up with it.

I've got two papers due on Friday, guess I should probably start them sometime. Fourgy fic is finished, mostly. I just want to let it sit for a bit before I reread it and then ask for a victim volunteer to give it a once over. Also, I'm working on the prompt "dirty talk" and "cuddle" for smut_69.

Real Life (tm) is not going so well. It's not that I have anything to complain about, it's just that I feel very isolated from everything right now. Hopefully spring break will sort me out. Happy Ash Wednesday.
