Post 26: It took time to understand the man…
…and now at least I know I know him well…
Hi, f-list! Check out the awesome new layout which the amazingly talented![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ciudad made for me! I was really excited to win her services for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
help_haiti, and she is not only gifted but a real sweetheart (she also provides tech support!). In addition, she’s gonna make me a surprise thing – how is that not sheer win? *dances around*
Thank you so much, my dear! XDD (She wants me to creditthe_fulcrum for the style sheet, and viola!)
Separately, I do realize this LJ has been pretty much all American Idol all the time, but I actually do enjoy several other fandoms, including that of the original good Doctor (not you, Tiemann). While Eleven does intrigue me, and I have actually always loved Eccleston, my favorite Dr. is the delectable Ten, played by a David! Tennant’s older than our beloved Dave Cook, but as gorgeous, even more articulate, elegant, and at the same a time total geek. He might not have the Cookster’s guitar-playing biceps, but he is as utterly shag-worthy, ahem.
Ten had the hottest Companions, also! I am most partial to Captain Jack, played by the hot-as-burning John Barrowman, who is a fantastic singer as well as an actor. I have on repeat John’s cover of this fantastic 80s song with Daniel Boys, which is an original Elaine Paige/Barbara Dickson duet from the musical CHESS, “I Know Him So Well”. Cue showcase of Barrowman’s gorgeous upper register and the man himself in a lovely shade of pink, and my heart breaking into little pieces from this reminder of my angsty childhood. “Wasn’t he good, wasn’t he fine, isn’t it madness he can’t be mine?” We all comfort ourselves thus: at least we knew him well.
Here is my fave Jack/The Doctor fanvid by Hllangel, set to the same song:
Even the good Doctor himself can’t resist! See this awesome, gallant Tennant/Barrowman kiss at Comicon 2009, originally brought to my attention bygoseward. I love David’s look of intent, and how he grins and cups John’s face and moves in slow, and how John goes pink to the ears and fans himself and faux-swoons. “I’ve been waiting for that for years!” Yeah, John, it totally shows. ♥.
ETA: It would appear in the intervening years that Barrowmann has no lack of willing kissing partners? HILARIOUS VID WHERE JOHN KISSES AND FLUSTERS EVERYONE.
EYATA: Doctor Who The Musical - amazing, gorgeous meta vid, featuring the Ten recap and handover from Ten to Eleven (with bonus Nine). LOVE.
And I am now, thanks toleici, gonna spam with Torchwood kissing photos, from here.
Finally: ah, David, David – Archuleta, not Cook or Tennant, and a much younger, less sophisticated and more conservatively religious one. Still love him, and I think he needs love and support – certainly not validation, but not condemnation, either. (Of course people do feel disappointed, and worse, and with good reason.) I am just saying: my wish is for him to grow from the kind, considerate, generous (sheltered, rigidly brought up) teen that he is into the strong, loving and accepting man we know he can be. Okay, that's all.

I really don't blame him for not liking the party scene, gay or not (and the gay party scene is sort of insane anyway). As for the rest? Eh. Slightly unfortunate wording, but I honestly don't think Archie has it in him to condemn anyone for their sexual orientation.
Oh, darling, thank you for this sensible, measured and compassionate response! I love it so, and really really hope it's true. IMO, the boy hasn't a condemnative bone in his body.

@hamghost I have friends who are gay, and they're great people. Whether they're gay or not doesn't change how I think of them.
@hamghost I have nothing against anyone, I'm sorry if that's how it came across. I'm just not into the partying scene lol.
The gay party scene can be ... well, sometimes it's everything you've ever imagined or heard. I once went to an after-Pride party where there were hospital beds lined up around the dance floor for people to 'relieve the pressure'. And they did. I have not yet managed to block those particular images from my mind. Seeing as how it was in NYC I'm guessing said night club leans more towards that after-Pride party than towards the more wholesome parties he's (probably) used to attending. I'm imaging a lot of 'oh my gosh, I really did not need to see that' coming out of his mouth last night (and I must admit it's a really funny image).

'oh my gosh, I really did not need to see that' HEE. INDEED XDDD

I'm sorry, this probably makes me a bad person, but I'm just far too amused at the image of Archie desperately trying not to be embarrassed, and failing (and flailing) miserably.
