corilannam: (Merlin - pendragon)

My fandom is having a very good week indeed, at least if you're a slasher and like looking at well-built, half-naked men. Anyone? No?

It turns out that THE GAY TIMES agrees that Merlin is "RIDICULOUSLY HOMOEROTIC."

So they decided to go strip down Eoin Macken, Tom Hopper, and Rupert Young, photograph their glistening torsos, and interview them about how gay the show is. They even discuss slash fiction, and for once I didn't even mind because, well....

Have you not seen the slash fiction online?
Rupert: Oh I've heard of that yeah.
Tom: The what? The slash fiction? What's that?

It's when fans take two characters from a show and write fiction about them that's a bit more sexual...
Rupert: I've seen some of those. I've learnt some great moves from some [laughs]. It's weird there was one about me and my wife on our wedding night and the stuff I did. I was like: 'that's pretty good.'
Tom: You must have to search for that though, right? You google Rupert Young and like, I don't know, smut?
Rupert: I think so. I have to say I don't know what it was. Someone was forwarding it to me, genuinely.
Eoin: You've probably written some of it, haven't you?
Rupert: No, no, I don't know how to type.

They go on to talk vague spoilers about S4, how co-dependent all the knights are, and what hand they each had in "the coming of Arthur." And did I mention the photoshoot?

The only bad thing is that they didn't include Adetomiwa, whom I would very much like to see with his shirt off.

I am now feeling much more perky about S4. Whatever else happens, there will be hot knights. And now I finally know how to pronounce Eoin's name, so I can stop calling him "Gwaine" all the time!

IT WAS. Honestly, there's a part of my brain that still thinks we must have made it all up as some kind of collective hallucination brought on by the long, long hiatus.

A bit more sexual... I like how he puts it.
I caught a wee bit of Mr Edun, dancing and flirting, in a show called The Hour. Mind you, he was in for 2 minutes more less, but he had a wee role.

I saw a clip of that! He looked so sexy on the dance floor. I need to watch the rest of that show soon.

Yeah, a bit more sexual... just a bit!

LOL I love how they were so cool with it.

Also, Rupert talking about reading rpf about himself. omg, I can't.

I know, right? He seems so confused, and yet kind of happy about it. I think he's just happy to be included!

It is a very fine day. :-D My coworkers are very confused about why I keep beaming at them for no apparent reason.

So if Rupert knew how to type, he'd write some? :D

We must assemble a volunteer corps of transcriptionists for Mr. Young at once! *gets in the head of the line*

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Yeah, I think that thinking, er, straight is pretty much a lost cause today!

Our fandom is having a very good couple of days indeed.

We so are. I feel like we should writing them thank you notes.

That interview is pure gold. Not to mention photos. :DD

Tom went immediately after to google his name and smut, didn't he?

IA with being a pity Adetomiwa was missing. The more knights, the more fun! Somebody should tell Gay Times that.

Hee! Somehow, I don't think we have anything to teach the Gay Times about hot men.

Oh yeah, you know Tom found all the Percival porn by the end of lunch! I feel like we should throw them a fest or something.

I swear they are asking for knight porn! It made me laugh a lot.

I think it's pretty clear that Gay Times has been reading some knight porn, at least! And possibly trying to recreate some of their own with that photoshoot.

I wouldn't be surprised if more knightly porn shows up. Plus Rupert's comment about Colin Morgan may lead to more, too!

Gay Times, you rock so hard. :)

They really do. I kind of want to send them a thank you card and some flowers.

They are adorable. And hot, needless to say. :D

It may be needless to say, but I sure don't mind saying it. They are very hot!

Best article ever.
I really was looking for the 'Leave a comment' button at the end.

LOL! Yes! When I saw the first picture turn up, I sincerely thought it was a photo manip.

I know, right? It was like the universe saying, "Have a nice day! No, really, we're going to make sure of it!"
