PBs You Haven't Had a Chance to Use

[Miss Demeanor]

@lithium I waited to see a tidal wave of them after DP came out and was almost almost disappointed when it didn't happen.

[Aria]

Original Daario was best Daario.

[surreality]

@aria ...so much agreed.

My mother is such a prude she can't watch open-mouthed kissing on TV/in movies without wincing.

Regardless, when #2 dropped trou in GoT, she immediately paused the screen, looked at me pointedly and clearly upset, and just deadpan insisted: "I feel cheated right now. Do you feel cheated right now? Because I feel cheated right now." I have rarely ever laughed so hard or been so surprised.

I love me some Ed. I had him as an NPC on an old project, though, if it's any consolation!

[Aria]

@surreality High five to your mom.

As for Daario #2... it's not that there's anything wrong with him, per se. It's just that he's bearded brown-haired dude #4,678 on GoT and I can't really find anything about him that does very much to differentiate him from the 4,677 bearded brown-haired dudes that came before him. And he definitely has none of the overtly sexual and self-assured air that Ed Skrein's Daario has, so I'm left kinda like, "This is the dude that seduced the Mother of Dragons? Like, really? She went from Drogo to.... this guy? Why?"

[Roz]

I don't understand. Daario #1 was so off-putting and unenticing.

[surreality]

@roz ...to you, maybe? Not a shared sentiment here by twenty thousand miles.

(ETA: By which I mean, the only 'off-putting' going on in my universe in that man's presence would be 'my clothes, in roughly. 0.000000003 nanoseconds'.)

[Roz]

@surreality I just mean that if folks can say they hate Daario #2 I can say I hate Daario #1!

FREEDOM OF DAARIO OPINION

[surreality]

@roz The sad truth is that having seen #1 shirtless in the Transporter reboot... dude's made a bit weird. So I can't exactly fault someone for appreciating #2, either.

Still... clothes, floor, fast enough for a sonic boom to hit.

You know who else I never see that I wish I'd see more (not in that way, pervs!)? Luke Goss. We only ever see Hellboy-Nuada Luke, but he's similar looking and he's got a similar general 'I make a good bruiser that isn't too pretty to be plausible' vibe going on. (Which I'd say nails the look for Ed without the wig, too. With the wig? 'I am the prettiest of the princesses, and I can also kick ass.')

ETA: pic.

...because I have a sinking feeling nobody knows what he even looks like without that makeup.

[Lithium]

@surreality I recognize him from the 2nd and third prequel Death Race movies (of the Jason Statham reboot) which were surprisingly entertaining.

[surreality]

@lithium They're both in my same mental bucket for some reason.

Maybe that bucket is titled 'shaven-headed badasses who look like spinning princesses of death in wigs and armor', but... yeah, that's definitely going to be the name of that bucket now.

I also take absolutely no responsibility for all the people who are into men who probably went, "Who the fuck is Luke Goss?" then did a google image search, and will potentially be flooding bb4 on Shang with twin requests throughout the week as a result.

NECRO:

[Sonder]

The lead singer from Otep. She would make such a bad ass Gangrel.

[Sockmonkey]

I'm adding Carrie Coon to my list. Although it will be really hard to not just rehash her character from The Leftovers. So vulnerable, so broken, so barely keeping it together...
