A Brief Observation on Justin's Hands

[xie_xie_xie]

I'm finishing up an assignment that's due in less then one hour, but I need to take a brief break before doing a final proof of it or my head will explode. So I glanced over at my beloved wife happier_bunny's post on qaf_coffeeclub about the important licking theme in Queer as Folk.

Hey, it's MEDIA ANALYSIS!

And so I, thinking it might stop all flow of blood to clear my head, watched one of the scenes indicated as being a good example of this theme, hotel!sex. And in addition to the important thematic licking, I was reminded of something else.

I spend hours and hours working hard to get all the nuances of my characters right when I write fan fiction. I agonize over it. I may fail, I may succeed, but I really try. I care. I do research, and not all of it as pleasant as watching hotel!sex over and over.

So let this serve as notice to all Brian/Justin fan fic writers: Justin does not have "small hands." Stop saying he has small hands. Stop mentioning his small hands in your stories and sex scenes. In addition to being a little creepy, It's Not. True.

Justin has really big hands. Go watch hotel!sex. Force yourself. Justin puts his hands on Brian's waist while he's licking him (there's that important thematic thing again), and they are large. They really are.

That is all.

OMG I really have to?! I don't know if I can put myself through it... *snort*

You owe it to the fandom, Gio. You can do it. Be strong.

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'd call them large, but they're *definitely* not small. I saw a fic the other day that described his 'tiny hands'.

...

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

That's because you and I live in the reality based community.

Well, as much reality as can be expected under the circumstances. ;)

NOT LISTENING LALALALALALALALALALA

Because come on! Justin is all that is tiny and sweet and he has the perfect baby blue eyes with the emphasis on baby! He is Brian's pretty pretty baby boy and daddy will love him and spank him and everything about Justin except his head and dick will be tiny 4evah! Because he is all that is NOT big bad Brain!!!

Now go rite me fic about the pretty pretty baby.

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

Ooooo I just threw up in my mouth!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_alicesprings/]

You are so right, wife. I hate when they talk about his small hands!

Almost as much as when they talk about his BIG blue eyes. Wtf? Brian has big eyes, Justin has small eyes kthx.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_venus_/]

And don't forget that Justin owns about 398932 "powder blue" sweaters that just "bring out his eyes."

In addition to being a little creepy...

hehehehe

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

Okay, MAJORLY creepy.

Sigh. I will watch hotel!sex again since you insist. But might I suggest that you watch the romantical scene in 107 again because Brian does the licking/kissing thing down Justin's shoulder and back? It's pretty quick so you might have missed it. Or maybe it's in the extended version, so you will have to watch both to make sure you see it. It does confirm that Brian licking Justin is canon and I know that's important to you. There's a good hand size comparison in that scene too.

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

I will make a careful study of that scene and report back. Thank you for the research material you suggested.

[chynnadoll17.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. I always thought Justin (Randy) had really manly somewhat large hands, whereas Brian (Gale) had more delicate ones.

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exactly!

[lunachickk.livejournal.com]

Well, you know what they say about large hands... *eg*

*goes off to endure "hotel sex" yet again...*

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

The things we do for this fandom!

Justin is a man, a beautiful young man

[firehead30.livejournal.com]

.....he is not a baby (he is sunshine) *snicker*
.....he does not have small hands (thanks you and licks you)
.....His eyes are blue, but ummm you may hit me for this....His yes are not large and they are rather close set. (yes he does have golden eyelashes of love)
....Justin does not have a soft voice (if you analyze it, his voice is actually DEEPER than Brian's)
....forcing the fandom to watch Justin's hands on Brian......hotel sex....forever young kiss...and well I am not going to give it all away....as a good fan, we should do some of our own research.
...and dammit to hell he does not have little boy hips, that fucking well squicks me beyond all imagination. Just because he looks young does not mean he has child size body parts....other than his cock and eyes of course.

Brian fucks, licks, sucks, rims, blows...men...Justin is a man (a really pretty one).

OK *kisses for letting me rant*

Re: Justin is a man, a beautiful young man

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

His eyes are narrow, but long.

[jane2005.livejournal.com]

Hey, Xie, can I use this as guest commentary on my next bad!fic chapter review of Kiss Me Alrigh?

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

Sure, and if you'd like to know what I think about the word "toddle" I'll be glad to expand on the theme.

OMG *gazes at Hands*

[firehead30.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhhhh now I am thinking about hands.....grrrr I have to get my work done....hands, hands, hands....large hands. *shivers*

So not going to think about this post anyfuckingmore

hands, beautiful large hands

Re: OMG *gazes at Hands*

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.

Hands.

mmmmm.

[shadownyc.livejournal.com]

They are definitely large, especially for someone as small as he is...what's that saying about large hands, large...?

*is feeling rather silly tonight*

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

I thought it was warm hands, cold hard, cold hands, warm heart.

*whistles innocently*

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that is one of those things that gets around, isn't it? I noticed right away, cause of teh hand fetish, dontcha know, that his hands are damn near as big as Brian's. The 'tiny' thing of course comes from the difference between 5'8 and 6'2. On that scale, yeah.

And the hotel scene wasn't the only time I noticed that. It became very apparent in the Kip Thomas episode, when Justin touches Kip's face. I think that's when I rally realized how very, VERY masculine Justin's hands were.

Now, if we could just curb that nail-biting thing...

[roc-abs.livejournal.com]

Oh whatever! But did you notice Renee's hands?

;)

[justinlovesart.livejournal.com]

But did you notice Renee's hands?

But did you touch them?

Are you still high from the experience or can you actually tell us something about it? ;)

[gaedhal.livejournal.com]

You know what they say --

Big hands, big... HEAD.

Because he has a gigantic melon.

[court1429.livejournal.com]

Big hands, big... HEAD.

Because he has a gigantic melon

That was my comment. Although not nearly so colorfully! :)

[rebeccama.livejournal.com]

I don't recall ever saying that he had small hands, but in case I have I think I will do some research (probably tomorrow). *nods*

[wordsalone.livejournal.com]

*nods*

He does have large hands. And a pretty big cock too.

He said so himself.

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

I love you. That is all.

Xie

[court1429.livejournal.com]

But he *does* have kind of a big head... ;-DD

[teary-eyed2.livejournal.com]

I know what the problem is. These writers in question have only ever had the privilege of looking at really low-res clips on YouTube or illegal downloads of such teeny size (obviously tiny-Justin-hand size) where the quality is virtually unwatchable eg you can't discern the eyes or any other distinguishing features such as cocksocks. So, you see, it's not really their fault; they're jus' po' folk who couldn't afford to get Showtime or rent or buy the DVDs. And obviously they could/can only afford dial-up which is why they would have never been able to see my hair/eye/hand/cock/pimple/mole studies properly either. So don't be too hard on them :b

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

Oh great, make me feel all guilty for oppressing the poor!!!!!!!!!

[gaeln.livejournal.com]

Big blue eyes, silky blond hair, little hands, pouty lips, narrow hips, bubble-butt, big cock...sounds like the perfect little sex-kitten to me.

Too bad that's not who Justin is and stories that portray him that way I'm not interested in.

Although I really do think he's pretty.

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

I think he's pretty, too. It's just that I kind of like the REAL Justin, not the bad!fic Justin. I mean, does real!Justin actually NEED modification to be hot?

I think not.

[mercyisme.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't even have to watch hotel!sex to know that his hands are big because everyone's hands are as big as their face and since Justin has kind of a big head and thus face his hands have to be big, too.

Sometimes stuff you learn in art lessons comes in handy.

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

And yet, Brian's hands are bigger - or at least longer - than Justin's, but his face is smaller... so how does that work?

[such-a-steph.livejournal.com]

*points to icon*
Yes he has BIG hands, maybe not quite as big as Brian, but big hands none the less. And you know what they say about big hands ;) *grins*

[thegreyking.livejournal.com]

The only Justin myths I cotton to are the silkly hair (because it does look soft) and the perky butt (because DAMN).

The tiny hand thing is indeed creepy. It's not that I fine them particularly large, but rather boxy and mannish. You know, rough and strong in a way that artists' hands should be.

And if you want to watch a scene that demonstrates the comparative sizes of their heads, episode 117 the 'killing you with kindness' bit on Brian's couch. The first time I watched it, I tried so hard to focus on the B/J deliciousness, but I could not get over the size of Justin's head.
