What has been seen cannot be unseen

Almost a month since my last entry, which was very short. No, I am not dead or suddenly less of an internet addict. But I have no fic to show because of my incredible lack of creativity at the moment; uni and loads of exams have been keeping me busy, and my internet time has been spent drooling at the probably most awesome German national team in the history of football. I've been wanting to do a huge picspam of them for weeks, but how am I suppose to choosed from those hundreds and thousands of pictures of fun and joy and epicness? And now the World Cup has been over for a week and I still haven't posted a picspam. I won't do it now either because I have an exam tomorrow and should sleep now. But there's one thing someone pointed out in one of the comms today, and it needs to be shared ...






All right, admittedly a more harmless version of Aldo Raine, but still ... the moustache? The sprawl? I just can't unsee it ... *cries*
Btw, Ballack only wears that stupid outfit for some ad he did years ago. I hope. ;)

Until I find time for a proper post ... have a little macro to expand your vocabulary ...


...another one for the obligatory 300 joke ...


... and while Bastian Schweinsteiger is probably God, he can still fail:


Okay, I shouldn't call him God, because that title is reserved for Miro Klose:


Oh, damn, now that I got started, I have to post another two or three pretty pics:






Oh, and speaking of Marcell Jansen, the beauty on the right ...



Damn, before I get started on a huge picspam ... I will stop right away and go to bed. Wish me luck for my exam tomorrow. And I hope I made you look forward to more pictures, because even if you don't give a damn about football, these guys make models look ugly. ;)

[I found the macros on the internet, somewhere, I have no idea who made them, so I  can't really credit anyone, sorry.]

Not to worry, no wanking will be done here, your majesty! ;-D

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

ROFL, that reminds me of the new True Blood episode... Russell to Talbot: "Darling! *points at himself* King." Yeah, imagine me doing that, with considerably less Southern grandeur.

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

Ooh...I love your Eric/Godric icon.

We watched last night's episode twice. Once in English and once in Spanish. The Spanish dubbing is surprisingly good, even James Frain.

If only Franklin wasn't fucking Tara. He should be paired up with one of the men. Maybe Russell will go on a scruffy kick and dump Talbot for a while to top Franklin. Talbot will in turn become insanely jealous and try to seduce Eric. Eric would reject him, however, to top the hell out of Russell with some serious hate-fucking and BDSM involved and steal Franklin away from him.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Eric/Godric ... <3 I so hope for more flashbacks. :/

Iek, I hate dubs, no matter how good. They're just weird. Although, dubs would probably keep me from analysing people's accents. oO (Linn: "Oh hai Russell, I heard that w-hw-differentiation there!" I don't think that's a normal reaction.)

Haha, I'm less annoyed by Franklin/Tara than I expected, because he's so hilariously insane. Still, I think it's very obvious that Russell would love to jump him ... and Eric/Talbot is as good as canon for me. Eric would fuck Talbot as a first step on his revenge on Russell. I'm so cracked up by how Eric gets more obviously gay with every episode, and how they insert random scenes in their desperate attempt to keep up appearances of him being straight at the same time. Erm, fuck syntax. You know what I mean. Either way, all I REALLY want is for Godric to come back. Because Eric without him is just sad.

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

Oh, God, they HAVE to show more Godric flashbacks. I have a strong suspicion that they will after seeing this week's episode.

Franklin is terrifically nuts, isn't he? :-D At first my son didn't like him, even though I kept telling him, "It's JAMES FRAIN!!! He's playing a bad guy, for a change!" BTW, to my mind Cromwell does NOT officially count as a bad buy. Anyway, after seeing this most recent episode, he really likes the character now. The nutsy aspect really grew on him.

I know what you mean about Godric. I'm pining for him as much as you (and maybe as much as Eric?) And you are so right about the attempts to gloss over Eric's obvious gayness. It's a terrible lost opportunity with this quadrangle of possible relationships: Russell/Franklin, Eric/Talbot, Franklin/Talbot, Eric/Russell--and let's not forget that at some point Bill has got to go back and fuck Sam. You were so right about that coupling that I ROFL when I saw Sam's dream about Bill. And maybe Sookie can just hook up with one of the werewolves and leave all our beloved bloodsuckers alone. ;-D

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I really hope so. :/ Instead of rather pointless flashbacks ("look, look, look at straight Eric!" ... vampire!Eric: "dude, the kinda things I used to do back then oO").

I think only nutcase Catholics think of Cromwell as a bad guy. And nutcase Anglo-Catholics. Poor Cromwell, I love him so much. Anyway, Franklin is wonderful. I loved the scene with him and Russell.

I love how everyone is screwing over Bill. This is what happens when you're a relatively young vampire among a bunch of older vampires. I wouldn't mind some kinky Russell/Bill either. ^^ And Sam can comfort him when he comes back. But I generally like this darker side of Bill, makes him much more interesting. And I neve rthought I'd say this ... but I'm not e4ven opposed to Alcide (sp?)/Sookie. He's a likeable guy, and I think they'd really get along, considering their personal morals and characters.

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

I love Cromwell, too. ;-D

I'm not sure what the problem is with going all-out with the gayness in this show. It's cable TV, for christ's sakes. It's Alan Ball. They should just fucking go for it.

But then I could use a whole series that's nothing but Eric and Godric, following them through the ages. With lots of attention paid to their SS years. That to me is 10,000x more interesting than Sookie Sackhouse.

Franklin is sooo fab, I couldn't agree with you more. But I'm also delighted to see that they're giving more time to Lafayette this season since he's my favorite character after Godric.

YESSSS! Kinky Russell/Bill!! And I like seeing Bill's dark side, too. He was becoming far too much of a goody-goody. But unfortunately, I suspect that it's all part of some far-reaching plot to take down Russell and that he's still all good and noble. I haven't read any of the books after the first, so I have no idea, but that's what I suspect.

I think it is spelled Alcide, and I agree, he and Sookie make a much better pairing.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

As far as I know, you're not a wacko Catholic. ;D

I don't get it either. I just don't understand why it's 'acceptable' to show gay characters/couples, but why it's apparently still some big taboo to have them kiss/make up/have wild sex like het couples (or lesbians, for that matter - right, I forgot, that's hot and gay men are gross). [insert usual annoying bitching]

I actually like Sookie. And I don't say that about many female characters. I actually think they're doing pretty well in the show: sure, Sookie is the main character, but they're giving quite a bit of attention to all these wonderfully fucked-up side characters (Lafayette, Terry, Jessica etc.).

I was so surprised that Lafayette is getting a boyfriend. Apparently it was announced before the beginning of the season, but I hadn't known. So I was just squealing hysterically throughout their scenes. ;)

I suppose I just feel sorry for Alcide because of his shitty ex-girlfriend. And since, so far, there is no guy I could pair him up with, Sookie is right now the only person around who could make him a bit happier. And he looks like he needs some cheering up.

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

DEFINITELY not a wacko-Catholic! Although in the USA the Protestants are far wackier. ;-)

Like you, I'm delighted they're paying more attention to the secondary characters. It's becoming much more of an ensemble piece, and I like it that way. I like Sookie, but in the first two seasons far too much of the focus was on her and the extremely-annoying Jason, whom I wish they would just kill off, or maybe have Alcide top the shit out of him. If any boy deserved to be topped, it's Jason. Although there seems to be a gay couple in the making with him and Andy. But it's a husband/wife cute thing, like Himmler/Wölffchen, nothing really hot.

Yes, yes, squeeeeeeee for the Lafayette/Jesus pairing! These two are so hot together I can hardly stand it.

Yes, Alcide and Sookie would make a good pairing, but Alcide really needs to get into Jason's face and teach him a lesson. I want him to top that boy so bad.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know. I think Christians in general are wacko, but I guess my dislike for Catholics is just irrationally stronger. What with the culturally Protestant background and stuff. ;)

Jason is fun, he's just hilarious. ^^ Why Alcide? oO Except for the porn, obviously. And while Andy/Jason is not hot, I ship the hell out of it. They're really too cute for words. Yep, pretty much like Himmler/Wölffchen. Except that at least Jason is smoking hot (his body at least, not the rest).

Yeah, and I like that we actually get a real gay pairing for once. So far we only had hints, porn (and that only for the lesbians) and one gay couple that was just there without getting more than hand-holding (Russell/Talbot). I really hope we get to see more of Lafayette and his bf. With the ridiculous name. -.-

I still don't get it. Huh.

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's one large difference between Europe and the USA. Most Protestants in the rest of the world are not fundamentalist wack-jobs that make the Catholics look good by comparison. And statistically, American Catholics tend to be much more liberal socially and politically than American Protestants. They're happy to distribute birth control to their kids and drive them to the doctor for abortions if necessary. You don't find a lot of Bristol Palins among the Catholics, despite the Papist teachings.

Alcide for the porn, definitely. And to smack Jason around a bit, because Andy will never do it. Poor Andy is the long-suffering, patient wife trying to calm down his endlessly restless and wandering husband. It's almost too cute for comfort, these two, they work together so perfectly. And I know so many gay couples just like them, with the older, patient wife and the younger, restless husband.

Lafayette and Jesus are perfect together. Believe it or not, Jesus is a very, very common Hispanic name, especially in the USA. You hear it all the time in California, especially in Southern California, where I live, which has a very large Hispanic population. About which I'm glad, because they rub so many of the whites raw. You know, those people who are so outraged that they come to the USA to take our cushy, valet-parking and janitorial jobs.

Shameless self-promotion: my story "I Only Have Eyes for You" is my response to your icon, and as far as I know, the only Hicox/Hellstrom slash out there.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

GUNF your icon. Why is Tara on it too? *grumble* Btw, thanks for the link to the interview with James. :)

Yep, I'm aware of that. As I said, my stronger dislike for Catholics is not exactly rational. Then again, I don't really consider American Protestants really Protestant in the European sense of the word. It's just so different. Anyway. I am one of those wacko hardcore anti-religious people who generally get aggressive about Christians. ;)

Still, as porny as Alcide/Jason is ... I just don't see it. Yeah, there is porn I'm not interested in. ;) Sure, I wouldn't mind seeing it, but the thought alone does nothing for me.

I know it's a common name among Hispanics. Doesn't change anything about the fact that it makes me either grin or frown. ;)

I'm fairly sure there's more than one Hicox/Hellstrom-fic out there. I think. I don't know, actually, because I don't really ship them that much. I just love the icon. ^^

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

How's this Franklin icon? Better?

I'll have to look again for more Hicox/Hellstrom fics. I cannot help but ship these two for their shared hand and smoking kink. And Hellstrom makes such a lovely top for Hicox, especially when he spanks him while fucking him.

"I am one of those wacko hardcore anti-religious people who generally get aggressive about Christians..." You and me both, kiddo. ;-D

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Definitely better, thanks. ^^ I loved that scene with him and Jessica so much.

Landa/Hellstrom and Stiglitz/Hellstrom already make for two Hellstrom-pairings that break my heart. ;) Somehow Hellstrom/Hicox, with no appeal except the (admittedly mind-blowing) hand and smoking porn, can't live up to them. What I love most about Hellstrom is not that he's absurdly sexy, but that he's such a fascinating character to write, and somehow I can't think of any scenario in which Hellstrom/Hicox would get the same depth as Hellstrom with Landa or Stiglitz. But to each their own, I'm the last person to blame anyone for shipping two beautiful men with gorgeous hands. ;) And the smoking ... oh my, I just rewatched IB two days ago, I almost forgot how beautiful the smoking is. ;)

Now I'm thinking about Kill Bill, great. ;)

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

This is definitely not a pairing that conjures up depth or angst by any means. Mine is all tongue-in-the-cheek, a variation of the tavern scene where Hellstrom and Hicox decide to "discuss the situation" in a small bedsit off the backroom. Since they know they're going to die, the two decide on a quick shag for the road, in which they engage with great relish.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I think that's pretty much the only way to write the pairing. ^^

Sooo, what did you think of the new True Blood episode? ^^

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

I agree. I don't think there's any other way. And it was so much fun to take that tavern scene in a different direction without disrupting the language of the original.

I loved this last episode of True Blood. I think this season is such a vast improvement over last season. And this episode was the slashiest episode ever (so far). I loved the semi-flirting between Russell and Eric, the little play on the husband/wife relationship between Russell and Talbot. The more they show Russell, the better I like him. What a wonderful character!

But despite the increased slashiness, they still chickened out in some respects. I got SO ANNOYED when they hesitated in having Lafayette & Jesus kiss, and then they PULLED BACK THE CAMERA!!! WTFFF???? We so need to see these two seriously make out. I can't believe they did that.

And Franklin better live, though I suspect he will. I don't believe you can kill a vampire without actually severing his head if you're not going to use a wooden stake or a silver bullet, no matter how much you bash in his skull. Especially one that's as old and as powerful as Franklin. Bill really is a baby by comparison with these guys, isn't he? ;-)

Landa/Hellstrom rentboy fic

Oooh, link, pretty please? With cherries on top.

And yeah Linnde, you're right of course! I was going to say that little fandoms are groovy like that, but then I've looked around tiny fandoms before where there's pretty much no good fic so I guess it's all down to some weird kind of fate. :O

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's weird, some small fandoms are made of awesome, others are crap. And then there are the big fandoms. *shudder* Oh, and there's even worse: no fandom. I need Body of Lies fic ... and there's, like, a single fic, which only exists because I begged a friend to write it. ;)

Btw, and this sounds so petty ... Linn please? Usually I wouldn't mind, but I know someone IRL who's called Linde, and I can't stand her. ;) Oh fuck, this must be my bitchy day, I bitch at everyone for nothing. Sorry. :D I'm using my Christoph-disapproves-icon on myself. ^^

Here, erm ... have some Hans to make up for my pettiness. Please ignore me otherwise. *stands ashamed in a corner*

[viceindustrious.livejournal.com]

How dare you! You should be ashamed! You better not leave that corner for the rest of this week! I am extrem-

OMGPRETTYHANSISSOPRETTY

...consider yourself forgiven. <3

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Note to self: when I carry around pictures of Hans being pretty, I can say anything I want. Life is awesome. Life must be even more awesome for Hans, who can just ... walk around and say anything he wants. ^^

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

GUUUUHHHNNNNFFFFFFFF! Stop posting so much prettiness. Christ, that's a GREAT pic of him.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Mhm, I thought I had posted it before, at some point ... Guh Hans.

Okay, I'll stop. ;P

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

With great pleasure. :-)
