Got Kink?

I understand where you're coming from. Not all of the shows I watch have slash, as far as I can tell. But the particular 'cest aspect of fandom seems to be up and coming, while back when SPN was first starting out, a lot of people thought it was awful to slash the two brothers. Can you believe it? And I can't ship just any two characters; they have to really have some kind of interaction on the show, otherwise there's just no inspiration there.

I don't read RPS unless one of my friends either writes it or shows me something that somebody else wrote. It's kind of hard with Jared and Jensen though, and sometimes I want to smack our fanbase around a bit because we come off as crazy and possessive, you know? I just like to watch them together because they're cute and hilarious and seem to really enjoy each other's company, not necessarily because I think they're going home and doing it. *giggles*

A lot of it today is advertising, but think about it; it's also changing mentality. Our generation is more accepting of this kind of subtext (or just full-on text), and the actors are part of it. My guy friends joke around like that all the time, so I enjoy watching popular figures exhibiting the same kind of behavior because it makes them seem more... accessible, I guess. There's that initial squee of "Ha! RPS!" but it really doesn't affect me all that much. I'm more about real dynamics than that "Ooh, hot guys doing it!" tact.

I'm glad it's growing; I just don't want these people to start freaking out because of the crazy fangirls out there.

It's fine, as far as I'm concerned. flwrpwr_vampyre, on the other hand... *glances nervously* Nah, I think she'll be cool with it. If not, I'll let her punish me while you run away. She's supposed to shoot me in the foot if I don't do something anyway.
