I'm torturing myself with Top Gear slash. It's like poking my brain with cocktail sticks. And I can't stop.

If I disappear, my common sense -- or squick factor or inner censor or whatever the hell you want to call it -- has killed me. Send flowers. Take vengence on Hamster because it's all his fault actually, maybe vengence is a bit harsh. Poke him gently with cocktail sticks for a while or something.

I can't do it. I can't read Top Gear slash. There are times during the show, mainly with James and Richard, where I think, 'Hey, I'm getting some slashy vibes here...' and then I immediately use one of those Men In Black flashy memory stick things because I can't do it. Mental block.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm just about managing the low ratings with minimal mental damage now but so much as looking at anything over PG-13 and wham, it's like walking into a brick wall. The friendship-only parts are quite fun but the actual slash? *shudders* I didn't think anything could still throw me like this. Maybe that's why I'm still reading, out of damned curiosity at how far I can push myself. So far, not very far.

I know exactly what you mean. I have the community on my flist but I don't think I've ever read anything from it because there is Severe Mental Trauma attached to it. They're slashy, yes. So very slashy. But I can't actually slash them. If that makes any sense.

It makes perfect sense. I can see the slash and see why people so happily slash them but I try to go near it and it's like brain-freeze. No matter how much I try to read it, it just doesn't wear off. I should probably give up before my brain melts forever.

That said, it's reminded me how much I want to slash Hamster with Roger. Now that would be pretty. (Him slashed with David Tennant was damn pretty too.)

I think the problem is James and Jeremy, not Hamster. Hamster could happily be slashed with anyone and my brain wouldn't have a spasm but mention Jeremy or James with the same person and it'd probably have a meltdown. I think that's a good idea. *pets*

Hey. You still owe me that fic!

James and Jeremy have this definite un-slashability to them. Even Jeremy who I like at least as much as other people I've slashed, because he makes being an asshat hilarious. Hamster has the slashableness and they don't. Which has me wondering if I really do only slash people I find attractive (okay so I've slashed Jesus and that raises interesting questions but still.) It is. *sighs* Though, the one where the Stig was a space alien and turned them all into women was pretty funny.

I do. It's on the list, along with the other fifty or so I owe you. ;)

Also, you not at work today? :-/ *gives cookies*

I decided it wasn't worth me dragging myself into work and having to face customers while every single muscle in my body aches and all I want to do is curl back into bed.

*hugs* Definitely not. The customers can be asshats to other people for a change.
