All right, today was a somewhat productive day, so I feel justified in taking time off for LJ.
PRIMERO, the obligatory Tom Hardy fangirling. Y'all have seen pics from his new Dunhill shoot, right? Oh my god, his mouth. OH MY GOD HIS TIE HIS SUIT HIS EVERYTHING, UNF. And of course the new pics from the set of This Means War, where he's in a suit/kissing Reese/wearing cuff links/being a GQBAMF.
And if that's too much classy Tom for you (is there such a thing?), let's wander over towards http://tomhardyparty.com for the big guns x.
SEGUNDO, in a bit of kpop news,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thundersquall and ch_ar_me alerted me to Heenim hanging out with Kibum. Kibum is alive! Freshly showered! Aw, Kichul friendship. Odds are good I won't see him at the Singapore SS3 but I'm holding my breath for a Zhou Mi/Henry/SJM perf instead, since I didn't get that in Seoul last year. Omg.
Speaking of Singapore, I'll be arriving on Jan 5 and leaving May 9. That means I should have time to meet up with you,catskilt, right? And any of the rest of y'all hanging out in Singapore, let me knooooow. I need to be shown the good foods and good times. ♥
TERCERO, back to Twitter: I no longer find Tom Felton that attractive (he was an adorable boy, okay, but asthyme_hawthorne's pointed out, that boy's forehead, what is going on) but oh my god he has the sweetest and funniest tweets.
/smushes him. And he reminds me that HP7 PART 1 COMING OUT NEXT WEEK. WHO'S EXCITED?! Be excited!
In fact, rec me your favorite H/D fics in preparation of the big day! Man, I miss the classic plotty H/D stuff. And always, always excited for December and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hd_holidays. HP is my seasonal thing~
I was thinking last night about how I sort of want to write again but I am never going to be able to do it again, woe. I have honestly not felt so apathetic about writing in such a long time, but it's really been a struggle lately. It's probably due to no longer having the excitement and commitment of any one fandom - not kpop, not Inception, and certainly not STXI or Merlin or DCU or AIRPS... I'm a bit of a free-floater right now in what I'm reading or paying attention to, which is apparently hell on my ability to write.
So while pondering reading, I get an email from someone who wants to translate one of my fics into French -- only it's a fic I wrote in 2004. Holy crap! I'm super flattered (this makes, what, six languages? I'll be JKR any day now haha) and go to reread the fic in question, which is a tiny little schmoopy ficlet. And here I realized how much I insert my own biased views of what ~true love~ and romance are into my fics.
It's a little bit personal experience and a little bit wish fulfillment and a little bit media influence, but it all comes down to a few staples:
- an emphasis on smiles, smiling at each other, smiling with their eyes, secretive smiles, helpless smiles, small instinctive curves of the mouth, indulgent smiles, joyful smiles that are broad and brimming with things that can't be put into words-- yes. I have a thing. also laughter, but that is related.
- hands and touch, not necessarily overt or sexual or even as obvious as hand-holding: sometimes it's just a hand on someone's shoulder or a thigh pressed against theirs, a little physical reminder that "hey, I'm here and you're not alone".
- related to that: having been with someone through the rough times, the hard times, having seen them at their lowest and worst, and still there and still caring.
- the little actions are the ones that indicate love: texting someone or remembering things that were mentioned casually before, etc.
- other symbols of how they've become two separate people who have chosen to commingle their lives: haphazard mess of their things mixing, having one person's favorite food in the other person's pantry, and so on.
- kisses! kisses kisses kisses: on the mouth, on the neck, on the palm, on the wrist oh my god the wrist. kisses are sweet and are hot and are on the whole much more interesting to me than full-on penetrative sex. (not that i don't love frottage and handjobs and semi-public-- er, but that's not an indication of ~true love~ and not so much for this post.)
- apparently I think leaving little notes for each other is the CUTEST THING EVER. on post-its, on scraps of paper, on cards, in letters or postcards, on the steam in the mirror, on twitter or online journals or whatever-- adorable.
- love being a scary feeling in your stomach, one that settles into something quiet and sure that doesn't need to be articulated. love meaning that you feel foolish and happy and not so worried what the world might think, but willing to take a risk and being okay with that.
- and I like making them make fun of each other (BEING BANTERY AND MEAN) and having a history and having in-jokes, yess.
Strangely, it wasn't until Inception that I started writing cuddling fic!
...I have completely lost my train of thought! So in addition to reccing me your favorite H/D fics, do you guys have any things you love to see as ~indicators of true love~ in fics (whether your own or someone else's)?
