i'm not trying to wake you up

I knew this post would happen eventually. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about shipping Alison Mosshart/Jack White (it's like I have a love-hate relationship with it or something), but here is a post full of shippiness anyway.

Whenever I see them practically making out while sharing a mic singing Will There Be Enough Water, half of me squees, and the other half wishes Jack White didn't exist because ALISON IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT WITH JAMIE, DAMMIT.

But man, their dynamic is so intriguing. I like how it's similar to Alison/Jamie in a lot of ways, but a lot more violent and volatile. Like Alison and Jamie seem a lot more SECURE somehow, whereas with Alison and Jack it seems like anything could happen, at any time. In my mind, they totally want to fuck each other, but Jack is all married and conflicted, and Alison likes to kinda tease him and tempt him and get him all riled up. Actually, I say 'in my mind', but really, it seems pretty much canon.

LET ME SHOW YOU, THROUGH PICTURES AND VIDEOS AND QUOTES. This isn't as long as my Kills primer, I promise. (I'm not sure anything actually could be.)



( I love you the most, I do, when you're so close to me I can smell the gasoline. )

OKAY. THIS IS IT, YOU GUYS. I'M COMING OUT OF THE JEDWARD CLOSET.

If you're in the UK, you probably know what I'm talking about. And you're probably shaking your head in despair right about now. And I understand that, I do. I hated them at first. I could barely watch their performances due to secondhand embarrassment, and I was so full of RAGE when Lucie got sent home instead of them. (I really only wanted her to stay because she was so ridiculously pretty, but still.)

And then somewhere along the way (irritatingly, it was like the week before they were eliminated) I started to like them. I think I always knew, deep down, that the twin thing would get me eventually.


I'M SORRY, BUT THE UNIVERSE CANNOT PRESENT ME WITH A PAIR OF PRETTY IRISH TWINS WHO POSE FOR PICTURES LIKE THIS, AND EXPECT ME JUST TO IGNORE IT.

Seriously, what is this? Who poses twins like this unless they want to see them making out? And what twins are totally okay with it and don't say to the sleazy photographer, "hey, you know, this is a little bit incestuous"? JOHN AND EDWARD GRIMES, THAT'S WHO. (Also, Harry and Luke Treadaway, because making out on camera is pretty much a hobby for them.)

If you don't know who I'm talking about, by the way, John and Edward are 18 year old twins from Ireland who entered The X Factor this year, despite being unable to sing or dance or...well, do much of anything that The X Factor requires. But somehow they managed to make it like, seven weeks or something. Because they were entertaining, just not in the way they probably intended to be. Also, they're totally in love with each other, and don't really bother to hide it. The whole of the UK refers to them with a SHIP NAME. Which they approve of because (and I quote), "it's kind of cool, like Brangelina."

( Stick with me here. )

SO IN CONCLUSION...I CLEARLY HAVE NO TASTE. And if you'd like to join me in this, I recommend checking out Fuck Yeah Jedward, Jedward Genius, their twitter, and the twincest-friendly john_and_edward. :)

Okay, so I pretty much talk about all of my obsessions here, but there's one thing that I realised recently that I haven't shared with you. Which is tragic, really. I think I've mentioned them once or twice in passing, but I haven't done a giant picspammy post to get everybody interested, and that's just wrong, so here we go.

These guys are Luke and Harry Treadaway:



They're identical twin actors, 24 and from Devon, and they're really just...amazing. Not only are they gorgeous, not only do they bring the twincest (holding hands against a rainbow background? Really?) but they're just awesomely talented. I saw them in a play the other day and it kind of made me realise JUST how much I love them. Their acting was flawless, and they're just so uninhibited—they don't stay in their comfort zone and they don't want you to either. Their first Real Acting Job was in the film Brothers of the Head, where they played conjoined twins, and after that they seemed to make it their aim to do the WEIRDEST SCRIPTS THEY WERE OFFERED.

The play I saw is probably the weirdest, and it's also the most recent, so I'll leave that til last. We'll start with Brothers of the Head.

( NSFW. Behind the cut = twincest, crossdressing, nudity, people smeared with food...I could go on. Also this may well KILL your computer, there are like a zillion pictures. )

I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A NEW SHIP OF MINE.



If you don't know who they are, that's Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. They've worked on two movies together and they are the most adorable, gorgeous people ever and are basically perfect for each other. Unfortunately Zooey recently got engaged to Ben Gibbard, BUT LET'S IGNORE THAT FACT FOR THE TIME BEING, OKAY.
