Let's talk about Elliot's sex life a little, because why shouldn't we over-obsess on a fictional character's sex life?

I have read the majority of the explicit rated E&O on AO3 by now, and I think there is a certain consensus among E&O writers that Elliot is fantastic in bed. I agree. I mean, look at him.

BUT.

We know Elliot married Kathy when he was 17. I think it is fair to say that they were each others' firsts, seeing how he is Catholic and was probably a nice guy. I don't see him as a guy who would have slept around in high school, but even more, I don't see Kathy as a girl who would have dated the guy who slept around in high school. So in my mind, they were each others' firsts.

I also think it is safe to say that Elliot was faithful to Kathy. He MAY have had sex with someone else when he was separated, but if he did, it was probably one night stand. And to be honest, I don't see him as the guy who would immediately go out and have one night stands, especially if he was not over Kathy at the time (which can be argued). Yes he hit on Dani, but let's face it: that was a pretty awkward and clumsy attempt to hit on someone, and I'm not sure if anything more happened between them. He seemed to genuinely care about Dani, but there was no chemistry, which just proves that he would have been more focused on being there for her than on getting her into bed. To me, him approaching Dani was more about him trying out dating again - with a person who was conveniently there already, and whom he liked, but nothing more. Just like someone who came out of a very long and first relationship, who never really dated, who never actually CHOSE which woman he wanted to be with, might do.

Anyway, I am trying to make a point here, and that point is that it is entirely possible that Elliot had never had sex with anyone but Kathy when she dies. Flutura's comment about their encounter also seems to indicate this.

And while that doesn't mean that he is bad in bed, it certainly means he is inexperienced. And, like in any long-term relationship, married sex often becomes predictable. Not bad, maybe even good - just not terribly exciting. Or do we really think Elliot and Kathy had time to experience much what with five kids and everything?

I would love to see more fics that acknowledge his sexual inexperience. I've seen a few here and there, but it's rare. I mean, he can still be absolutely fantastic in bed (yes, yes, so much yes), but I want to know what it is like for him, to suddenly, after 40 years, have sex with someone else. To have to wonder again, what does she like, will I be able to please her? To have to get used to someone else's touch. To maybe discover some things he has never explored in his marriage.

Please let me know what you think, and if you have any fic recs, I'd appreciate it.

PS: I originally posted this on tumblr, but nobody wants to speak with me on tumblr. Not that this is any different here.
I miss fandom. *sigh*

H5O and that particular spot on the neck

2023-01-03T23:52:31Z

For those of you who had an opinion about me rewatching ten seasons of H50 after having watched H5O countless times and exclusively (as in I did not watch any other show) in 2021, I have come to a decision.

I will NOT, at this point in time rewatch H5O. The reason for this is not that I do not love the show. I ADORE the show. It is not that I do not miss Steve and Danny, because I do miss them. Like crazy.

The reason is simply that I do have to rewatch the first 12 seasons of Law&Order:SVU (plus the assorted later seasons after Elliot has come back and the seasons in-between that I missed and Law&Order Organized Crime), which I just finished watching ( yesterday, I finished watching them yesterday ), because I think there may be a smile between Elliot and Liv that I have missed, or a particularly good shot of Elliot's arms that I may not have appreciated enough the first time around, or maybe a close-up of that spot between his neck and the rest of the body where there is that little dip, which is a spot I have always found particularly attractive in men, which I need to stare at a bit more.

What IS that spot called, btw? It surely must have a name?

I think I made it abundantly clear that I find Chris Meloni extremely hot. As in seriously, he is hot. I mean, he distracts me with his hotness. Sometimes I need to rewind scenes of Law&Order: SVU, having missed the plot because his hotness was distracting me. (This is in no way meant to be disrespectful or objectifying. It's just an, uhm, observation.)

This was just as true 24 years as it is today. Hell, he may even be hotter today, and yes, I realise that he has gotten old(er) and he's gone bald, but so have I. Older, I mean, not bald. (One Another good thing about being a woman.)

So Chris Meloni is hot like a hot thing.

And yet.

And yet. Sometimes. Sometimes, not very often. Really not all that often! But it happens. It does happen. Sometimes, I look at him, and all I can see is Bert from Sesame Street.

I'll be over here, now. In my corner. Dying or so. Bye.

2023

2022-12-19T19:44:40Z

So I recently joined tumblr, since fandom seems to have disappeared in my,uhm, 8 years or so of absence, and I have been told that what remains of fandom can be found there.

Anyways, tumblr reminded me of my LOVE for Hawaii Five-0. So, for those of you who don't know, I spent 2021 watching Hawaii Five-0 exclusively. No, I really mean exclusively. I watched all 10 seasons a couple of times in a row, like, four or five times, but who's counting. Because whenever I got to the end of season 10, I missed the early episodes so much that I just started all over again. And while I've done many strange and obsessive things in connection with fandom over the years, I can honestly say that that was the craziest thing I have done so far. Even I admit that I may not have been quite sane. (But hey, it was the year after 2020 and I dare you to find anyone who came out of that alive and sane).

So since I am currently watching 100 seasons of Law&Order:SVU and fully expect to be done with that at the end of this year, do you think I should rewatch Hawaii Five-O next year? You know, since it's been a while. And I clearly haven't seen enough of Steve and Danny in 2021.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Also, if you have any recommendations for a good therapist I could see about my obsessive behaviour...

Why, fandom. Why?

2022-12-18T15:29:27Z

Fandom can still surprise me. Like, today, for example, when I learned that there is not a single Law&Order SVU/Stargate SG-1 crossover on AO3.

Explain to me, how can this be, when Captain Donald Cragen and General George Hammond are clearly related?

Law&Order SVU

2022-12-12T16:06:52Z

Things I have learned since falling head over heels in love with Law&Order SVU a couple of weeks ago

- Chris Meloni is not work safe

- The average fic in this fandom is about 100,000 words long

- Which isn't surprising, seeing how the show has about 100 seasons and they still aren't together in canon

- 10-20k is, in fact, a short story in this fandom

- Seeing the length of fic and the amount written (more than 20 years!!), plus the fact that I still have to catch up on, well, about 80 seasons of the show, I will not have time to sleep or eat until at least 2024

- Which is absolutely fine with me

- Elliot is really good with his tongue
(I WAS GOING TO ADD SOMETHING VERY PERSONAL AND NOT WORK SAFE TO THIS STATEMENT, BUT I WON'T, BECAUSE I AM OVER 40 AND CAN - OCCASIONALLY - SHOW SOME RESTRAINT. BUT I AM THINKING IT. And so are you.)

- They sure like to fuck on his kitchen counter

ETA: - Have these people never heard of safe sex? For God's sake, they work in sex crimes, one would think that they'd know better!

Careful what you google for...

2022-11-18T10:31:28Z

Public service announcement

For those who need to hear this: if you ever sit at work, desperately wishing you could look at Chris Meloni instead of whatever you are working on (and why wouldn't you be thinking that?), do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT google Chris Meloni pictures.

Chris Meloni pictures are not work-safe.

Trust me, I have safe-search activated here at work, and those pictures are definitely not work-safe.

Jeez.

Chris Meloni's whole existence is not work-safe.

Life Update (yeah, right)

2022-11-04T05:55:33Z

So here's what's going to happen:

I am going to start watching Law&Order:SVU, a show that I have never seen a single episode of, and the only reason why is Christopher Meloni.

Because I just. Can't. I cannot. It is killing me. He.

Yes, I am fully aware that this has like a 100 seasons or so.

See you in a few years. Ok bye.

First Post (the important, meaningful one)

2009-05-04T21:06:56Z

Imagine that this is an important, meaningful first post. The one you like to point to years later and say, hey, look how important and meaningful I was back then!
*imagines*

Oookay, let's move on to reality.

I'm still trying to figure this thing out. If I have for any reason not "friended" you back (they are not going to throw me out for using the evil LJ lingo here, are they?), let me know, and I'll add you. Okay?
