Guilty Pleasures

[lettered]

Because it's almost 5am, and I still can't get to sleep.

stultiloqentia recently posted a drinking game for Spuffy smut fic. It's a list of words you're sure to have seen a time or two (except for, you know, gnomon). Of course, "cold dead seed" makes an appearance.

Also, a while back, kita0610 had an outing for the old schoolers who invented things like Buffy's vanilla scent. They're those things that get used again and again. And again.

And on stultiloqentia's list? I was surprised to realize I don't care how over-used it is, I still find the primal roar/whisper "Mine!" sexy. I also get turned on by Buffy's "tiny hands" (in Angel's broad ones), even though it's in every single fic on ff.net, the unsexiest place in the whole wide world.

I've managed to convince myself I'm not the only one.

So come on. What are those "I don't care how many times I see it, I still like it"s? Okay, it might be more of a "I don't care how many other people misuse it, I still like it if it's done right", but you have one, don't you? You like seeing Spike say "Da" or "Yes, Sire," or "Xanpet". You like Buffy's mossy green eyes and Angel's chocolate ones. You like it when _____'s mouth is like satin and ______'s spunk tastes like honey. You like it when Buffy finds out Angel married her without telling her when he put the Claddagh ring on her finger. You like seeing Angel spelled "Angle". What's your cliché-kink?

It's no longer 5 am where you are...I can't imagine being awake the whole night and functioning the next day. *yawns*

I suppose I have cliche kinks...I'm sure I've used more than one (or one thousand) cliches in my day- although I *really* try hard to avoid them and think of new ways to say them.

"Mine" I like in certain situations. (I've used this one.)
I also like any physical description of Angel which makes mention of his size especially when it's contrasted against someone smaller. Thta's just one of the things I find attractive in a guy- though.

I wonder how much of our fic kinks have to do with our RL kinks. I don't like little guys. Knowing how small JM is takes a way some of his appeal for me- even though I love Spike and thought he was HOTTER than HELL on the show, JM does nothing for me.

DB on the other hand is prettier in RL than he is on TV and he's big.
Thus. Lust.

You know, I was starting to think I was strange cos I think the same thing. I love Spike, I think he's so sexy - yet I coudln't give a toss for JM. I see him as JM (or someone else) and I think bleh. But i see him as Spike and i just quiver.

Yep.
Spike was The SEX...JM is just a small man. He seems nice and everything, but I wouldn't wanna do him.

Angel/DB...*quivers* that's another story. *hee*

I like big and kinda chunky - which is why Angel as a character is okay..but DB in RL........vavavoom!!!!!!!!!! It's weird - Spike yes, JM no. Angel no DB god yes!

I kind of have insomnia. And it's been really bad this week.

Me too. Which is probably why I go for the "tiny hands" cliche when it comes to B/A.

I personally find it interesting that they can be different. For instance, with the "mine" thing. I guess it could be sexy irl if a guy said that about me, but there would have to be a very specific understanding between us. In fic, I'm not so discriminating (although I'm not completely undiscriminating about it either).

even though I love Spike and thought he was HOTTER than HELL on the show, JM does nothing for me.

This is a good way of putting it. It makes me sad he's so small. He looked bigger on tv than I guess he really is and I think I was delusional. But still, it's easy for me to disassociate size from an actor, because you can never quite tell how big they are on tv. Irl, I'm attracted to bigger guys, but it's always actually been rather hard finding guys that are taller than me.

Insomnia...*hugs you* That's yucky.I need sleep!

I don't know how they made JM look so much bigger on the show...good camera work I guess. DB isn't 6'4" (which is how tall my husband is) but he's over 6 feet for sure...(I had boots on in the picture which is why he looks shorter than he is...plus I'm 5'8")

You're quite tall aren't you? I have this thing about big guys (not that I haven't dated shorter, smaller guys...)and Mike is physically built just the way I like them and I'm totally superficial.*hee*

a2zmom says they stuck JM on a box a lot. She also said they put SMG on a box a lot and that's how come she didn't come up only to DB's belly button.

I'm 5'11". Which isn't *that* bad. I've just had bad luck in that all the guys I've been interested in personality-wise have been at least two inches shorter than me, usually even shorter. Which just isn't my thing, but--personality!

I'm going to marry Liam Neeson and have hulking huge kids.

Every time I hear you talk about your husband I get all warm and squishy inside. See, this is how Buffy would talk about Angel if they got to be you know, semi-normal. You reaffirm my beliefs in love and marriage ;o)

And it's just how me and Liam are going to be. Once I make him leave his kids and divorce his wife and marry someone less than half his age . . .
