You know how they say "The slash just writes itself"...?

Is anyone out there watching the BBC "Robin Hood" series?

I just watched the first season this weekend.

If you haven't seen it, watch this. It's a two minute YouTube clip and the slashiness rivals (maybe even exceeds) anything from "Angel" season five.

So, yeah. The show is kind of dumb and I could care less about Robin and his men, but Guy of Gisborne!!! OMG!!! I'm totally in love with him!! He's all fucked up and evil but deep down he really just wants to be loved. Awwww!!! *adores* Plus the guy who plays the sheriff is hilarious and delightfully sociopathic. Between the two of them, I'm happy.

Now, to find good fanfic....

Yep. *goes to watch the clip* I remember watching that scene, and thinking it was slashy, and then Gisborne does that sigh thing and you're like... where are the Sheriff's hands...?

It could not be any slashier without without kissage.

As for me, I'm not in love with Gisborne. (I think, despite her failings, it's because I'm too sympathetic to Marian's position.)

In that same ep, when Marian tries to commiserate with Guy over his friend who's been imprisoned and tortured, and he says that what's troubling him is it's that the Sheriff is undermining him. And I was like, look, I get that you're evil. I get these are your priorities. But here the woman you want to marry thinks you're showing some human feeling for a friend, and therefore is genuinely sympathizing with you for perhaps the first time, why are you saying this out loud to her?

Silly villain.

Mmm, the Armitage is a very pretty man indeed. Don't really care for slashiness. I mean, if people have a relationship, fine. Hordes of insane fangirls? No, thanks.

Heheheh. Guy is very much the best part of the show. There's a whole treatise here on why he rocks, but at 12.30 in the evening just after the season finales of woe and sadness, bah, eloquence fails.

But, yes! Guy. Rocks.
