Switches: Kinks and Squicks

[butterfly]

This is, of course, all about my own personal preferences.

Anyway, I've been reading the wes_visions_rpg and... dude, hotness.

Angel and Wesley were hot like... dude, Death Valley or something. At noon in the middle of summer.

And then the Angelus thing was interesting. Hot.

But then... Dru screwed with Wes' mind and the hotness got way muted for me.

Anyway, it made me think about my kinks.

The idea that Angelus could fuck with Wesley like he did in the rpg... we know Wesley's weaknesses. And so I found it believeable. That Angelus could take Wesley that far. And corruption/seduction is hot.

And Dru screwing with Wes' mind stops all that deliciousness in its tracks. It made everything easier for the evil side of things. It was a shortcut for Angelus.

There was almost an idea of fairness about it all before. Something that reminded me of Anthony's Love for Evil (though, God knows I wouldn't ever expect Angelus to pull a Satan).

Which is silly. Because Evil's not gonna play fair. I mean, big 'duh' here, right?

But that made it less hot.

For me, yeah, reading about blood play? Fun.

Having the evil guy mess with someone so badly that they're becoming wholly devoted? Sexy in that evil way.

Actually mystically changing their mind? Just... ick. It was icky when Willow did it to Tara. It was even ickier when Dru did it to Wes.

Of course, it looks like Wes is getting vamped, so, who knows what that's gonna do.

Still, at this point, I really want someone to dust Dru. And then I want Angel to get his soul back so that he can think about what he's done. Um. Wesley getting saved would be nice, too.

Sidenote: I've noticed that I'm really only reading the Angel/Wes sex scenes. Of the sex scenes. All of the plot is interesting, but of the sex stuff... Spike/Buffy bores me, Anya/Xander also bores me, Cordy/Doyle I do read a touch though I mostly skim, and Willow/Tara and Willow/Giles raise icky moral issues for me. I just feel so horribly for poor Tara. And rarely does a Willow post go by where I don't want to smack her.
