So, anybody thinking that Cupid and Fate should get together....
No?

Well, if you live anywhere near the United Kingdom, you’ve probably seen the ads. And yeah, “Make Love Happen” is not the most subtlest of lines, so maybe that has something to do with my brain short circuiting to perversion every morning on the train to Liverpool Street. But I think it’s more to do with slash as a way of life.

No, really.

I’m just wondering here if other people on my flist ship random advertising characters and just regular people on the train. Does the concept of reading slash into tv and movies and books spill over into the general experience of culture? The reason I’m using Cupid and Fate here is because they aren’t very attractive. See for yourself! And no way would I be ogling them otherwise, but I just can’t help but wonder: “Are they doing it?”

Now, speaking of ogling the beeb’s attempt of revitalizing BBC3 has lead me to Being Human. And I know it might seem a bit off kilter, a bit weird. (But hey, aren’t we into that sort of thing, anyway!?) However, if that does not tempt you enough…..

A pretty buff young man gets naked in a forest (and when I say buff I mean gorgeous ass) while an indie rockery sharp hip-boned (yes, this is for you Kat) skinny lad makes the moves on a buxom brunette. Now we move to the next morning and buff young man is sleeping in a crevice of rock covered in deer blood and hip-bone lad in having an angst fest in a toilet after draining the blood of said buxom gal. Later on our two heroes (only after the buff one washes himself everyhwere, and now listen carefully dear readers, while naked in the same room as lovely indie rocker and I really mean everywhere) decide to get a house together. And of course they are mistaken *cough* by the agent as a couple. Indie rocker seems very into this while buff young man fumbles and blushes his denials. Now I do think the Lady doth protests too much.

Intrigued yet?

an indie rockery sharp hip-boned (yes, this is for you Kat) skinny lad - for shame, like I'm that shallow... no, wait. I totally am. I have heard good things about this from my f-list and was therefore surprised when the local student paper completely slated it in its review. ... Well, between those two, I believe my f-list is a more reliable source when it comes to slinky hip bones and slash-potential.

Oh and the random slashing... Happens all the time. People on the street, sometimes my students in the class (I'm a bad tutor), and definitely people in adds. But I'm no the only one/

Ohg god! I'm a reliable source now. *blinks* But yes, I see pontential. And naked people! I would screep cap it, but alas I only saw it on the iplayer.

Good to hear that not just me then. And if I had more time I would go and read meta for geeks but now I must go to work.
