Yay! Suz is here!

[rhiannonhero]

Hi! Was busy writing porn, but am here now.

[peggin]

Writing porn is always a good excuse for anything!

[rhiannonhero]

Did I miss anything?

[suzvoy]

I just posted a recap.

[suzvoy]

SCENE OF THE RAINBOW TOWEL. WILL IS TOPLESS. Will, Sonny, Gabi and Kinsey are all on the towel.

w: okay, so do we swim first or eat?
k: eat!
g: actually, I think we shoudl swim. i think these egg salad sandwiches I made have been out in the sun too long
k: so we're not gonna eat? if I don't eat something, you don't want to know what my blood sugar levels will make me do?
s: well, how about you and I go to the pub and get some food? we can talk
k: really?
s: sure. I wanna hear about your plans for being a singer
k: seriously??
s: yeah! what do you guys want?
k: I know what they want, come on, let's go. *they get up and leave* so I'm thinking I won't sign on with an agent straight away, etc etc

g: I can't believe it's almost august
w: I know. we'll make the most of it, tho
g: right
w: so, do you wanna go in the water?
g: sure, lemme go get the towels *leaves*

*tad walks up*
t: I don't believe you, man
w: what's wrong with you?
t: i saw you in the parking lot with that jerk
w: are you talking about sonny?
t: whose side are you on anyway?

[amelialourdes]

I LIKE HOW YOU CAPITALIZE THE IMPORTANT BITS.

[amelialourdes]

God, The Other Douche is back. Is he stalking them? He made it all the way to the beach to be a dick to Will.

[suzvoy]

The gentleman doth protest too much.

[suzvoy]

Too many storylines. Not enough Will/Sonny.

[amelialourdes]

Agreed! What I enjoy about this show though is that even though some lines may be neglected in the first half, after that "we'll return with the second half" -- there actually is a second half with those other storylines. Thanks, Days!

[rhiannonhero]

Love Stefano's guilt trip.

[peggin]

What happened?

[rhiannonhero]

What the hell? WHERE ARE THEY. I missed the beginning!

[suzvoy]

They vanished D:

[amelialourdes]

YOU JUST THINK THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE ELSE WHO'S GAY.

[peggin]

I know there are people who are complaining about the heavy handed, PSA kind of feel to this storyline, but I really love it. I especially love that they had someone say this, along with the comment Will made yesterday that he was disappointed in himself for even thinking that Sonny doesn't seem gay, because what does it even mean that someone might seem gay.

So far, I feel like this is the one storyline that the current writers are getting right. As much as I want to new writers to make a lot of changes with some of the other storylines, I really hope they don't change too much about the way this storyline is being written

[amelialourdes]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA? COME ON, T. LET IT OUT.

[amelialourdes]

I V. MUCH ENJOYED THOSE SCENES. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN TELL.

SONNY AND KINSEY AND WORSHIPING AT THE ALTAR OF NPH. HEY, STRAIGHT GIRLS DO THIS TOO. IT'S TRUE.

[rhiannonhero]

WORD!

[rhiannonhero]

I am addicted to media, too, commercial about parenting!

Oh, those were good scenes! LOVED THEM! Loved Will!!!! And Sonny, too, with Kinsey. Loved the transition between, "You just don't know that you know other people who are gay" to Will's face in the next scene. Dun dun dun.

Also, Will is being so great.

T is sooooooo having closeted feelings, imo.

[rhiannonhero]

You know you're writing porn when one of the open tabs on your computer is: Synonyms for 'pleasure'. LOL!

[suzvoy]

*at the pub*
k: okay, so, the singing's just like a jumping off point, you know - that's where my real talents lie. but I want to expand. no television work, though - not until I've booked my first feature.*pauses, realises how much she's been talking* let's talk about you.
s: okay, what do you want to know?
how long are you gonna be in salem?
I'm not sure, actually
I'm sure you won't be for a long. you seem like a guy who always has a plan
in highschool I had a plan book in such detail, it was sick. but after I came out to my parents, that all went in the trash, you know?
your parents are okay about that?
yeah, they got my back in every way. i'm lucky.
yeah, you are.
anyway, so I decided I can finish college at any time. so I'm taking a gap year.
what are you doing?
i'm training for a triathlon. and i like rock climbing so much that I started climbing mountains, too
climbed any mountains I've heard of?
i went to japan last month and climbed mount fuji
wow, gay guys climb mountains, huh?
when we're not worshipping neil patrick harris, yeah (OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
he is so awesome! will you introduce me?
kinsey, I'm kidding. we don't all know each other
I know this is gonna sound silly, but you're my first. gay friend.
I doubt that. you just didn't know
I have a feeling I'm gonna learn a lot from you

*with the douche*
w: okay, will you lay off sonny?
t: please, you're not the one starting at salem u with everyone thinking you're in a new bromance
that's not his fault!
he had plenty of opportunities to tell me he was gay.
do you go around saying hi, I'm t and I'm straight? t, man, you said some horrible thing about gays
so i'm the bad guy? he's sonny, he's a saint, he can do no wrong
and he didn't put you down, did he? for not liking gay people, for being bigoted?
and you and gabi and kinsey and are all hanging out with him and calling me names???
we're hanging out with him because he's a nice guy! man, what is wrong with you?

[peggin]

so I decided I can finish college at any time. so I'm taking a gap year.

Oh, that's interesting! I'd been thinking Sonny was done with college, but if he's not done and is just taking a year off, maybe he's just a year or so older than Will.

[rhiannonhero]

Jesus, how many commercials?????

[rhiannonhero]

Oh, Will's tortured face!!!!

Gabi is giving up on T too soon, imo.

[amelialourdes]

YEAH, GABI.

Gabi doesn't want to hang out with the homophobic prick and I, for one, am in complete agreement.

[suzvoy]

t: great, now you think i'm some horrible person
w: no, t, i don't. i think you're good guy. that's why i'm hoping like hell you get over and fix things with sonny
t: I don't wanna fix anything with sonny. him asking me to a baseball game? how do I know he's not coming on to me?
w: oh my god, t!
t: it's possible, right? *phone rings* I gotta take this *walks off*
g: *walks up* was that about sonny? your argument with t?
w: yeah. *frustrated* I always t was so open minded
g: yeah, well I guess you thought wrong
w: maybe it's what he learned from his parents
g: that doesn't excuse it, will. t's a homophobic jerk, okay? and I, for one, don't want to have anything to do with him anymore

[rhiannonhero]

EJ is spending too much time in the hospital.

Who did this to him this time, do we know? Stefano?

[suzvoy]

Any show that praises the awesomeness of NPH is worth watching!

[amelialourdes]

I am soooooooooooooooooo in agreement!

[rhiannonhero]

I'm not an alcoholic, or anything, lol, but Carly's drinking of that beer is making me want a beer.

[amelialourdes]

She does look like she's enjoying it v. much or it is providing her much relief.

[rhiannonhero]

OMG, this commercial is giving me anxiety about C starting school!!!

[rhiannonhero]

YEAH HE DID!!!! LOL!

[amelialourdes]

This is the second time that Will's leapt to Sonny's defense! All these beach scenes, it makes me think that Will will discover his inner gay while watching Sonny do a slow strip before swimming or something.

[suzvoy]

t: gabi, thought you'd be off making sandcastles with your new best friend
w: okay, that's enough. being down on sonny for something that he did is one thing. being down on him for something that he is is different, man. we're not gonna put up with this anymore
t: *to gabi* you're the reason he's acting like this, right?
g: yeah, that's right. because I'm a diva and I'm emotional
w: man, you're acting like a jerk. I don't know...I don't know how else to put it *sonny arrives with drinks, watching*
t: so that's it?
w: no, it doesn't have to be, man. apologise to sonny, show him some genuine respect...and we're good
t: that's just messed up. that's just messed up. *strops off*
s: *walks closer* hey, man. you didn't have to go to bat for me
w: yeah...I did

[amelialourdes]

w: yeah...I did

Because I also bow at the altar of NPH.

I mean, what?

[rhiannonhero]

I admit I love this paint commercial. My hubby would so want to keep that painting. And, uh, I might also be tempted for the sheer WTF of it.

[suzvoy]

I love that commercial! :D Clever.
