Tonight I thought I'd browse the Rhage threads. Nothing disappoints on the WARDen Boards. Rhage is described in the books as really beautiful, devastatingly so to the point where it's almost painful to look at him. Gorgeous does not cover it. Since I have a sick twisted fascination as to what other people think these guys look like, I hopped on the "Could this be Rhage" post.
ZOMG..First, male models factor high. Second, some of them are twinks. Again, I have to return to the default position of I'm in the romance genre. I'm all out of sorts. I posted as much. For me what makes a man traffic stopping drop dead gorgeous is so far off the mark from the posters, it's on it's own planet.
I never saw Rhage as a twink or gay for that matter but to each her own really.
Moving away from the West Hollywood set..
One of my squicks is just pregnancy talk. I used to think it was just male preg, MPREG, but I realized tonight it carries over into all levels of discussion. I don't wanna know about characters fertility issues or the nuances of breastfeeding. I really makes me squick. I dunno why. I just dislike it. I'm not maternal in that way at all surprisingly enough given my personal background.
Finally..
I love the edits by the admin. Did I mention that? I love when the edited text shows up as a QUOTE in someone else's post. When Rhage turns into the Beast he eats lessors. So someone asked, quite innocently, if Rhage burped or farted baby powder, the calling card of a lessor, as a result. It got edited out, but someone else quoted it. The question is hilarious and I didn't take offense. Quite the opposite.
No wonder Rhage is so sick after he transforms back. He's got lesser indigestion. It's from hell! It'd be hard to distinguish an enemy in the compound from Rhage's flatulence until the lessors had passed. heh!
On that note, I need sleep.
