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.

I read this freakish fic by someone who has Justin being all anorexic in a boarding school... and by "read this fic" I mean "glanced at it in horror"... and she described his "huge" eyes taking up "half his face," and I'm all... wtf?

Have people even LOOKED AT these characters before they write? It's one thing to fail to get the "voices" right, but their LOOKS? Is that so hard?

That said, I think Justin is perfect in every way.
