Pairing Post

Book - Freeze Tag by Caroline B. Cooney: Megan/Lannie

Hello. A while ago I said I was thinking about doing a thing where every fourth week instead of doing a film pairing picspam I would do either a post about a non-film/non-visual pairing, or a picspam for a film I like but don't have a pairing for. That was a while ago when I was still (two weeks in) doing these posts every week, but I'm trying to get back on track and I decided to do the non-film pairing one. You're getting this a day late because yesterday mostly involved sleeping until 4pm, trying to get up and get wash and dressed and cram in at least two meals before midnight, and then watching Comic Relief for most of the night. And I don't really want to put it off till next week again. So. I'm doing it today.

Freeze Tag is a book I bought when I was a teenager, from the Point Horror range, which I used to read a lot of around that time. People who know me very well will probably be unsurprised to hear about that. Anyway, the pairing is probably a lot more to do with things I made up in my head than things that actually happen in the book - I only really started considering it is as a pairing a good possibly 10 years after last reading the book, when I was thinking about pairings, and femslash pairings I might have. I reread the book a few weeks ago to make this post, and it really is not as good as I remember it being. This is VERY MUCH not a rec. But I still quite liked the pairing, and I wanted to talk about it anyway. And it's the only pairing I've done any sort of prep for at all. So this is what I'm posting about. Also, this is a pretty fucked up pairing. Just in case you were wondering, or haven't learned to generally expect that from me.

Pairing Picspam!

C.R.A.Z.Y.: Zac/Raymond

I am unusually up before noon today. Which does mean that I have the time to make this post, but I may also lapse into incoherence at some point. I'm very sorry if that happens.

Anyway. I should say that this is an incest pairing, so if you don't like that kind of thing you probably won't be interested. I was going to say that it was probably my favourite brother/brother incest pairing, but that was mostly because I couldn't think of any others I had, and then I remember the King brothers on Emmerdale and things got complicated. But Zac/Raymond is definitely right up there near the top, at the very least.

C.R.A.Z.Y. is a Canadian film, and a Quebecois film, so it's all in French. It's a family drama about a boy who grows up in the 60s and 70s and is pretty clearly probably gay, and how his family cope or fail to cope with that. It's actually quite a sad film in a lot of ways, a lot of it is about how his dad hates him for being gay, or hates that part of him, and he hates himself because of it. But a lot of it's quite funny too, and a lot of it is pretty beautiful. And it's got this storyline about the boy and one of his brothers running through it, which I quite love.

I'm slightly torn over which pairing to do next week. It's either going to be Daniel/Eli from There Will Be Blood or Louise/Jean from Female Agents. It sort of feels like I should get some women in at some point, but Louise/Jean is pretty much my main film femslash pairing, so it might be an idea not to get them out of the way too quickly. And Female Agents is the other main French-speaking film I love, and doing one after the other seems a bit odd. I don't know. I'll have to decide I guess.

I was also thinking about doing a pairing a week for three weeks, and then on each fourth week either just pimping a film I love with no real pairing in it, or without that being the main reason I love it, or posting about a non-film pairing I have. One has pictures, but the other has pairings. Decisions, decisions.

Pairing Picspam!

New Town Killers: Alistair/Sean

So. I'm doing a picspam this week. If I do decide to do this regularly for a bit, I'll probably have a tone it down a little next time, because the idea was to try to do one per week so it wouldn't take all of my time, and so far I have spent a week doing one. Other ones probably won't be as focused on just two characters though. Or as based on running.

This will probably be massive. I did pretty admirably well getting it down from 3,917 screencaps (2,000 or so after I got rid of the copies), but even so. And the pictures will probably be huge because I am using Photobucket and I love them. But anyway. This is a pretty fucked up pairing, but I decided to start with that so people are aware of what to probably expect from me. So anyway.
