Fanservice: You're doing it right

[dragojustine]

First, via GeekFeminism, this is interesting.

So I have been useless for anything since yesterday afternoon, and will continue to be useless for anything through Friday. I was going to do errands today, but there is sexual content on the internet and clearly that takes priority. Fucking cyclical hormones.

So. The reaction top in me would like you all to know that To be Adorned by bexless is probably the hottest thing on the entire internet right now.

On a more-cerebral but still horny note, no_detective has a meta in which she explains the entire Adam Phenomenon Appeal far more articulately than I have ever managed, by way of noting the true-but-baffling fact that most highly sexualized pop culture performances are not, in fact, particularly sexual- but Adam's performances are, and it is that, not the glitter, that really makes the difference. (Well. Okay, that and the voice of a god.)

Everybody in the entire world has already seen this:


JFC. TOMMY.

(Look, if Adam were interested - ignore the hilarity of the hypothetical for a moment - I'd totally fuck him. He- or at least his presented persona- is sensual, uninhibited, attractive, confident, assertive, considerate, communicative... it's like the ideal recipe for "good in bed." So sure, absolutely. But TOMMY. FUCK. Tommy pushes my buttons. Look at that- the coy flirty look, the way he strains up on his toes to follow the kiss when Adam pulls away. He pushes every single one of my pretty, needy, skin-hungry, submissive boy buttons. Adam seems like a fantastic fuck. But I want to hold Tommy down and pull his hair and bite him and strap it on and fuck him bowlegged. Christ, Tommy.)

Nobody was willing to talk to me about Chris Colfer. Woe. No Glee crossover for me. Back to Tommy porn. Fucking hormones.

We've been discussing on Twitter that we think stanning Adam is actually heightening our libidos. I really think it has an actual, measurable effect, at least on me. I start stanning Adam, and all of a sudden (well, six months later) I'm all, "bootycalls! Orgies! Nipple piercings!"

HE'S A GOOD INFLUENCE, BASICALLY. Just as he's a good ~influence on Tommy. ;)

[dragojustine]

Well, I think slash fandom in general is good for the libido, but if we want to attribute it to magic Adam fairy dust? I will totally not argue.

[littlemousling]

Lol, I've been in various slash fandoms for more than a decade now, and it's never made me want to ~connect with other people this much. SO MAGICAL UNICORN ADAM DUST IT IS.

Hey, if it gets you into a lesbian bathhouse orgy? I will NOT DISS IT. *g*

INDEED

I am having so much fun reading people's reactions to Adam-on-stage and Adam-and-Tommy. And I just love the immense amounts of fun and joy they seem to be having and sharing with the audience.

Also, I completely agree that Adam's public persona definitely reads as "good in bed," and I may have to go find and read more Adam/Tommy fic thanks to your reactions to Tommy, who I know nothing about.

[dragojustine]

There isn't much TO know about him, fannishly- he doesn't talk to reporters. My obsession is entirely about his physical appearance and body language on stage (Pushes. My. Buttons. Good god)

For the record, Adam has told interviewers that Tommy is straight (though I've never heard Tommy himself say anything). As close as I can get to an actual characterization of Tommy, he's straight, a little gender-bendy, very cuddly, reserved with strangers in person, slightly exhibitionist on stage, and incredibly secure in his sexuality. Which, you know... FUCKING WIN, and I love that characterization a lot, and adore him in stories that ship Adam with somebody else.

But I can't write porn about Adam and the super-secure cuddly straight boy, so I choose to disregard that characterization *g*

Aside: if you haven't read astolat's Drive By Devotion, read it NOW. Truly awesome character voice writing- that's the Tommy voice I hear in my head now.

(Adam's persona TOTALLY reads as good in bed. I mean, look at that list of adjectives. How could it be better?)
