RL update

I'm back home! Sweden is welcoming as usual with cold weather and rain. Today, my husband went to work and got stranded on an island because the waves were too high for the boat to come get him. Stupid Swedish coast. Meh.

Trip was fabulous. Went to Atlanta to see behindthec and then to Chicago to see intricate_life. So much fun was had. God, how I wish that I could teleport so that I could see these people all the time. Emma will thankfully be back in Sweden in a week, but Colin. :(((((((( I miss you! (Also, in case you were wondering if the pictures Colin keeps posting were exaggerating how cute the boyfriend is, I can now assure that they're not--Jack really is that hot. Not to mention adorable. I want to keep him in my pocket. :D)

In other news I have cotton candy-coloured nails and the new apartment is still not finished. I wish I could have stayed away on vacation. Gah.

My brain is warped, exhibit 278579238579827

So, I've just realised that hanging about a slash fandom--especially bandom--gets you very spoiled. Personally, it messes with my ability to correctly interpret people saying things like "that show is so steamy" or "you never guess what X said in this interview", because my mind has been warped by porn and now fully expects these things to mean "at least 50% of the screen time consists entirely of hot people having very graphic sex" and "announced his engagement to his secret, insanely hot boyfriend" respectively. Case in point: I just zoomed through True Blood, having been told by intricate_life that it was a really sexy show with much slashy goodness and... meh. I mean, I liked it (and nothing makes me prouder to be a Swede than Alexander Skarsgård walking around being a hot-as-fuck badass vampire, let me tell you). Liked it a lot, even. Though why is Bill there? And why does Sookie love him? When Eric (Swedish guys named Eric are clearly superior to all other men) is right there and a million times hotter? I swear, it's the Buffy frustration all over again (Angel over Spike? Seriously? moku_youbi, back me up on this, yes?) So, coming back from the rambling to say that yes, it's a cool show, and it does have a lot of sex. Just not enough to make my brain happy. And way too little gay sex. I guess what I was hoping for was a less trashy version of The Lair (Gay vampires running a BDSM sex club and plotting to kill each other. Sometimes during sex.) and True Blood is not that. And where is all the girl/girl action? I feel decidedly disappointed by the lack of pretty naked women together. *pouts*

Now, if someone were to make a fusion of Queer As Folk and The L-word, that would be a sexy show. And if there could still be vampires, I'd be very much obliged. Especially if Alexander Skarsgård could still play one of them and get to have lots and lots of hot boyfriends. :D

There's always hints at possible gay in TB, but never enough of it. I think there was an instance of sex in a dream that Sam had in season 3, and also the scene with Eric and the King's hunny in season 3. Pam is a lesbian from what I can tell, and there was one scene where you were left to assume she was going down on a girl, but you didn't actually see it explicitly.

Randomly there was some dude (a footballer methinks) who complained that the show was too gay...idk what he's watching. Other than Lafayette who I adore.

As for Eric vs Bill, I'm biased because I've read the books. This means I hate Bill (because book Bill is a knob). And I really hope the Sookie/Eric/Bill thing is one thing where theu follow the books instead of changing it, but I am not hopeful

(also I am jealous you got to see Colin!)

Sam's dream and Eric and the king's hunny? *perks up* Do you remember what episodes those were in, by any chance?

There is Sookie/Eric/Bill in the books? Now that would definitely be a way to spice up the boring Sookie/Bill dynamic. :DDDDD

Seeing Colin was so much fun. I wish I could do it all the time. Also, her cats are ridiculous. lol.

Found both scenes on YouTube. Must say that I LOLed at the Bill/Sam (though that would be a good way to clear the path for some hot Sookie/Eric, have to admit) but Eric/King's bf was very hot. I very much approve of that scene. MORE NAKED ALEXANDER SKARSGÅRD KISSING BOYS ALWAYS! \o/!

Aah, I was just talking about this the other day! And by "this" I mean "vaguely similar", which gets me to my point! There should be proper sex scenes in TV shows. I mean, maybe it's the slash talking here, but I feel cheated by the waist-up-randomly-grinding-for-two-seconds sex scenes on TV in general. I can't say much for TB because I only saw the first season and then stopped caring. I'm not saying it should be porn - I'm saying it should be tasteful porn! With plot! Imagine a TV show that did that. People would watch it! Of course they would!

QAF was heavenly with its much improved sex scenes, but we never saw a single penis in it, erect or otherwise. This still saddens me. With all the boobs we get on TV, we can't get a bit of cock? That's just so unfair. I find porn often to be too visual, I don't need to see everything, but I think TV shows could do more. I'd like to see the penis, please. The actors don't wanna do it? Fine. Get penis stunts.

I'm rambling.

I might just be immune. Someone says "his leaking cock pressed against his stretched hole", and I don't think that's too porny at all. Others might be blushing furiously.

I'm still rambling.

I just wish there was good TV with proper, hot sex scenes. *le sigh*

I'd like to see some BJ action going on, personally. Not the mechanic porn kind, slash-writer kind. Sexy BJs.

You should watch Spanish movies. They usually show a bit more. Sex And Lucia is a favourite of mine. Not so much with the graphic sex, but there's definitely some cock in there. :D
