Day Twenty-Five

[aruan]

I like to imagine he's reacting to something Justin said/did and adore the fact that he's one of probably only five people in the entire world who can make that face at Le Timberlake and not suffer consequences, a privilege I'm certain he indulges in all the time. Lance's expressiveness is delightful, whether it's snark or sheepishness or joy, and also very honest. He may be lying through his teeth, but he's paid to be good at using his voice. His body language is a total give.

Favor by Synchronik

Joey was lying to himself. He was lying to himself, lying to Chris, lying to Lance, by lying in this bed and telling people that he was just being nice to Lance, that he and Lance were just friends.

It's ironic that I was going to mention how I love Synchronik's JoLa because he writes it from Joey's point of view, which results in this feeling of honesty and fondness toward him and the other characters - Joey is compassionate and perceptive and mature, Lance blooms yet retains his endearing dorkitude. So of course I pick the one story where Joey is right foolish.

Joey is SO DUMB in that story. But it's one of my favorites, anyway, too. :-D

Your recs for Lance Month were so awesome!

See, I don't know if I'd call it 'dumb,' per se. It's... blind. I don't know if it's willful ignorance or that he's using Lance, but that he can't seem to make peace with himself for the fact of not just wanting him, but being in love with him. He doesn't act like someone who doesn't care, just someone who's willfully oblivious (not ignorant) to something he's not ready to deal with. It's like anyone being presented with an experience/object/whatever that they have no perceptual set for - they are more likely to automatically ignore it because they can't fit it into any prior schema of knowledge.

Err, sorry about slipping into Psychology minor!girl back there. I may be a fairly shameless Joey apologist as well. Hell, what am I talking about? The Backstreet Boys did it! *g*
