cuz tonight I'm livin' in a fantasy

Holy shit, release day.

I mean, not that it matters in the grand scheme of life or anything. Just that I am all nervous and fluttery about it and I still have to go to work and be all normal and calm and shit. :(

No fun. I will imagine Chandler/Kent sex while there maybe. Just for funsies. Then maybe work on original plotting stuff like a good girl.

Meanwhile, just a reminder for anyone who feels they need an epilogue that one does in fact exist. And it's free! (You just have to suffer my bad Spanish).

Somebody Named Will


So much love to everyone today. Especially Claire and Paulina and Daphne and Dreamsparkle, for keeping me on target. :)

Oo, genius. YES.

Like a clockwork, once a day? Two days?

Re: Backatcha.:)

Two days. And everything has to be clean and distraction free, and the air smells vaguely of Tiger Balm and whatever lotion or lube he uses and most days it's for tension relief more than anything else.

Btu some days thoughts slip in there, based on sensory information he couldn't help but receive but which he hasn't processed yet. Things like the weight of someone's (Kent's) hand at his back for a moment in a crowded space and the warmth of his breath.

Nice and relaxing but not really that great. Efficient.

And he 'tries' not to think about anything (anybody) specific. (Maybe for gentlemanly reasons. Hard to look people in face after.)

haha

Except for every once in a while someone actually gets him going and it's always an accident and he can't help himself.

The system he has works against him. He's so deprived of proper arousal, little things get him going. And then he gets fixated.

YES! That obsessive in the OCD that everyone forgets about.

It would be all he could think about.

...why doesn't this fic already exist?
So obvious.:)

IDK. Some things seem obvious that should be but aren't.

I.E. Smallville. Or CM fic.

Maybe people don't understand the O in the OCD?

But I want!

I think the biggest problem is that he's not a poor widdle person, he has this thing and he copes. That's not sexy at all.

Re: Backatcha.:)

I think it's sexy. I totally love his coping. Though I do wonder why he isn't medicated or seeing a therapist. If he's tried before, I mean.

Soggy kittens are annoying. I have no idea why people are so into this helpless boy in peril thing.

Medications have side effects (especially the ones used to anxiety/etc) and therapy has limited success with very smart people. It takes just one bad therapist for him not to trust the process.

..and he could just consider ocd his cross to bear. That thing he just has to learn to cope with. Medicating might seem like giving up.

Yeah but I want the show to say it. I mean, I know America loves its pills, but no one has even suggested to him or talked about it behind his back. Weird.

True. It would be interesting to know for sure.

How obvious is his condition to others? He's all neat and specific but does it come off like he's just a bit 'fancy' or something else?

Re: Backatcha.:)

[identity profile] r-cooper.livejournal.com 2012-04-29 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true. Most people probably either think he's prissy (and or gay) or another eccentric aristocrat.

Until they see his desk. Or like the shrink lady did and watch him straighten something and *know*.

He's fancy enough that they might think that's how extra classy people do it. (UK still has huge class difference. They might not *know* any other people raised like Chandler.)

...or not, something, dunno.

haha It's the rubbing his temples thing that most people seem to notice. They get all 0_0
