We Also Talked About Arlen Specter and Nipple-Taping (but not at the same time)

Two excerpts from a conversation with Telyanofcelore:

On Firefly ships:

[personal profile] masterofmidgets: Simon/Inara? That would be...so polite
Telyanofcelore: Amarantha Ed-san Inara/Jayne? Um...
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: the most demure sex scenes imaginable
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: oh god, Inara/Jayne with really Dom Inara would be win
Telyanofcelore: It would have to have really Dom Inara.
Telyanofcelore: I... have trouble imagining a scenario in which this comes about, though
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: lost bet?
Telyanofcelore: OH GOD
Telyanofcelore: I can see it - they're really, really bored. So they decide to play a game. The first two people to lose have to sleep with each other unless it's Zoe and Wash because Zoe is scary.
Telyanofcelore: Jayne says he ain't playing no gorram game
Telyanofcelore: He forfeits, to his dismay
Telyanofcelore: Everyone, after that, plays very, very carefully
Telyanofcelore: Inara loses. She raises an eyebrow, turns to Jayne, and Mal just about blows a gasket
Telyanofcelore: But also 'Hmm, this might not be so bad after all if I give him proper instructions'
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: afterwards they never talk about it again
Telyanofcelore: Kaylee naturally wants to watch. Simon is horrified. Mal is sulking.
Telyanofcelore: Zoe and Wash are pretending this isn't happening, and ignore it. River is crazy.
Telyanofcelore: Book lectures on sins, and is very glad he doesn't have to sleep with Jayne
Telyanofcelore: ...did River or Kaylee suggest the game?
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: Kaylee, definitely
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: although she honestly suspected that no one would take her up on it
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: possibly they are all /very/ drunk
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: they are obviously on a very long, very dull shipping job where no one is even trying to kill them
Telyanofcelore: yes
Telyanofcelore: No one is trying to kill them, they have enough supplies and spare parts, it's nowhere near that day Mal hates, the ship is clean, there are no stowaways or officials, there's no one to trick, and their cargo is fertilizer
Telyanofcelore: They've run out of music to play, they have no more books on file, they're tired of playing aerobic games in the hold, there's nothing interesting that can be cooked, and they have a plan laid out for their next venture
Telyanofcelore: Wash's dinosaurs have run out of ideas.
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: sex is the only option

On Jamie/Fox in the Jake-and-Shane verse

[personal profile] masterofmidgets: Jamie is probably the healthiest person in the entire group
Telyanofcelore: And you said that Jamie calmly opened a vein so he could draw a weapon and get them out of there
Telyanofcelore: I think that's hardly healthy
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: in a relative sense, he's healthier than the rest of them, but compared to the rest of us...he's still a bit mental
Telyanofcelore: He also has a passion for mythology and slept with a fox demon
Telyanofcelore: Who stalks him
Telyanofcelore: Only a /little/ mental
Telyanofcelore: So where is Fox?
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: Fox is the Ex-Boyfriend Who Still Calls All the Time
Telyanofcelore: If you tell him no once, he'll never leave you alone.
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: so yeah, I think Fox is the ex who shows up and hangs out and eats your food and you can't get rid of him, and then you sleep with him even though you know it's a terrible idea, and then he leaves and you wish he would call you
Telyanofcelore: And he does, but you both never quite manage to make this occasional sleeping-together thing turn back into a relationship, not that you think it's a good idea but at least it would be /definite/
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: which isn't entirely a bad thing because deep down you know they are utterly unsuited for a relationship, but the sex is really good and you just can't quite get over them, not to mention things are always more exciting when they show up
Telyanofcelore: And so it kind of is a relationship because it's not like you're seeing anyone else but it's really really weird and surely occasional sex and hanging out isn't a relationship? But...
