OMFG I CANT BELIEVE YOU DID THIS!!! AND THAT THE ART INSPIRED YOU!!! HAJSHSajshsja!!!! And it's so FUCKING GOOD OMG I'm all FLUTTERY now and stupid and capslocky LOL, I'm like shouting at you from many platforms right now but OMGGGG!!!!!!!
I don't even know how to comment on this. I love it SO much. Argh, my heart when James was saying he just wanted to be normal, and the dread he felt at how Teddy was going to react -- and how resigned he almost seemed to feeling shit about it! It made me think this clearly isn't the first time he's felt like that, and that kind of broke my heart, that he's felt that enough to feel resigned about it. And not even liking beer, or wanting to go, but doing it because he's been told to, that was so effective at showing his personality and how he feels about this, and so quickly. The boots, oh my gosh, that line about the boots not looking feminine but James knowing they were women's boots and that's the bit that counts, I mean that says so much, everything really. And the big purple socks LIKE IN THE ART!!!! Omg, I mean I know it's inspired by the art, but I still got all stupid over that, like, omg that the James I DREW! All the reminders that this is those characters come to life, Just *flailing hands* ARGH!
And TEDDY! Teddy and Theo, oh gosh, that introductions scene was fucking genius! It was such an easy and natural way for all of this to happen, for Theo to make James feel at ease, when both of them are nervous and Theo is potentially making themself vulnerable there. Ajshsbaishs, I loved it, really. And Theo is such a good name! I was smiling like a DORKS when they said "I don't fancy Edwina" cos me either ahaha. Oh gosh, and trying on the clothing, and Theo just being so open and easy and their voice shifting tones -- and still there being reminders that this is Teddy, the one James knows, as well as the person he's just getting to see now. The make up, there's something so intimate about putting makeup on someone else, and James being trusting and letting Theo do it, and omg at the same time thinking about the stupid faces he must be pulling!! I loved it, James was gorgeous here, and all the times he got mentally tongue tied by pronouns and which to use, and how easy Teddy was with explaining it -- I liked how open they both were with it all. And omg all the little flickers of chemistry between them!!!! There is so much warmth and caring between them, and the hints of something more blooming there, I mean, of course I am here for that lol!! There were just so fucking lovely.
OH GOD and Theo saying they'd been ready to meet the family for four years but the family isn't ready to meet Theo, I mean, that was so bittersweet and real, and I love that there was so little judgement from Theo towards Harry and Ginny etc there. Again there was that resignation, that acceptance, that this is how it is, and that felt very real and also really bittersweet, and very effectively presented.
I loved how much James let himself get into trying on the clothes, and the moment of embarrassment at his second little bit rebellion there. wearing the underwear. I like that James was wearing these things as part of his identity, as someone who enjoys it, withour it feeling fetishy -- even when Theo said it was normal to get turned on by it. I'm articulating this badly, and it's not to say an attraction to it or fetish would be bad in any way, not at all, and I loved that connection between the clothing/sexuality which Teddy made. I think I really just liked that you made it really apparent this was James exploring a part of himself. There was such a wonderful tone of acceptance there, from Theo, and such an wonderful warm feeling from James of how badly he wanted that, and if that came from the art then I am so effing happy because that is entirely the tone I wanted to create, and you are just beyond brilliant for this!
