00Q and Whishaw stannish feelings, I have them
You guise, 00Q is a BABY FANDOM.
IT'S ADORABLE.
I was (more or less) there when it was born and now I'm watching it grow with motherly pride. The fans are calling themselves "00Qties" or are hashtagging everything with "#00Qpioneers4satan" (after an inside joke between friends on tumblr apparently) and they're all very cute and enthusiastic and there are more and more fics on AO3 everyday and NOTHING HURTS.
We've discussed it with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
berylia, and the reason we think 00Q is a ship that took off so quickly is that right now almost every major fandom is on hiatus. Most of us fangirls are waiting for season 3 of Sherlock, and Teen Wolf , the next Avengers movie and Iron Man 3, and I don't know where they're up to in Supernatural but I'm guessing it must also be on hiatus since, when I look at the people reblogging 00Q stuff on Tumblr, most of the usernames have to do with the aforementioned fandoms. So Skyfall had in fact the right timing to make us fall in love with the pairing, I don't think it was calculated, but well done, and I hope that they're going to take that into account for the next Bond movie, especially since there are rumours that Mr Cumberbatch might be the next Bond villain (personal wishlist: I hope Benedict plays a highly intelligent criminal mastermind that targets Q himself and then Bond has to save his darling from evil!Benny's clutches, IT WOULD BE SUPER AWESOME)
We went to see Skyfall again yesterday, then we watched my DVD of Brideshead Revisited (I LOVED it, it was actually a very good film even though it broke my heart a bit) and now I feel I'm becoming dangerously obsessed with Ben Whishaw, which is really unfair, because I have enough British actors ruining my life already. I learned on Tumblr that Whishaw also played Andrew Scott's gay lover onstage and that fucked me up a bit more and the image in my head alone makes me want to curl up on the floor and start crying.
So at 2 in the morning yesterday I watched interviews of him and completely melted because he's so fucking kawaii and looks so horribly shy and intimidated in front of cameras when he's not acting:
In real life apparently, he's dating Bright Star's music composer Mark Bradshaw AND THEY LOOK REALLY ADORABLE TOGETHER:
SO. FUCKING. KAWAII.
I've heard Skyfall opens in the US starting tomorrow, GO SEE IT, American people from my f-list, you need it in your life!

Actually, the whole "young, black hair, white skin, seemingly fragile" remind me way to much of the dynamics of Yaoi uke/seme, which I dislike quite a lot...
no subject
I think it's the whole aesthetics of Greek/Renaissance young men that appeals to me... I think I'm a bit of a shotacat ! Hmmm who knew ? Maybe it's also because of the whiteness and white being pure the idea of sullying that purity... Okay, I'm going to stop right here...
For the dynamic aspect of 00Q, I think I see Q as topping from the bottom, infuriating every step of the way, and I read a great and quite heart-breaking fic with Q on top.
One thing I like about fanfiction is that you can always find fics that will reverse the "usual" seme / uke dynamic and do it with intelligence, subtlety and all that and make you love it and long for it.
(And I think this long post shows I'm procrastinating...)
Yay, procrastination! \o/
Any recs? ^^
Re: Yay, procrastination! \o/
I really liked this one. I liked how it went and the fracturing of Bond.
