I’ve been reading lots of romance novels lately (like a ridiculous amount) and almost every one of them gives a thorough description of the male love interest’s chest hair situation and every single time I think of @thesschesthair and her approval of such.

This actually makes me so happy to hear.

I’m glad natural beauty is being acknowledged in the actual stories… because the covers on romance novels always scare me away.

I mean take this one for example.

They didn’t even let the poor man keep his nipples.

I mean..

Did they come off on the wax strip used on his chest?

Are they lost?

Is he okay?

So many questions that are sure to send me into a catatonic state of trauma.

Oh my God. This... This is too terrible even for me.

People always ask me where I draw the line with whump. When is enough enough? When does it go too far? When is it just too much?

HERE, people. RIGHT HERE. THIS IS WHEN IT’S TOO MUCH.

Well… if he dares to show it, whether it’s an inney or an outey, it’ll be nestled in a load of adorable belly fluff and i’d be more than happy to cover it in happy kisses

Oh, I see! I thought perhaps you had some scientific research pertaining to the innie/outie status of said portion of Colin’s anatomy.

BUT NO! ‘Tis still a mystery!!!!

Oh i wish… one can only dream….

Pretty sure it’s an innie from the ice bucket challenge video: here

Bless you and thank you.

*hands over science membership*

I am no longer worthy.

I am wondering though at having 4 different shirtless Colin sources of media and none of them show said belly button. This isn’t I Dream of Jeannie. Why is he being all Barbara Eden about it? What if it’s his one imperfect feature? What if he has a weird belly button???? We’ve seen his feet and his adorable chicken ankles and his knees but no belly button.

@ripplestitchskein I’ve thought this same thing. And i’ve wondered if either the people filming him all were unable to handle the glory, or the more saddening thought that he might be a little self conscious…

to which i’ve always said, he could have 3 nipples, an appendix scar the size of an iphone, and a crazy birthmark… and yet i’d still find him adorably beautiful. 

i’m sure he’s got absolutely nothing to worry about at all.. but you never know. Could be his choice, could be really bad luck with editors, who knows?

No but i’d really really love to see his bellybutton you have no idea. And I can’t even explain why. 

“Why is he being all Barbara Eden about it?” is now my favorite thing ever.

Also, great sciencing there. Definitely looks like an innie from that video.

And I, too, am firmly on team “Gonna love that boy and all his imperfections”. Though I doubt there’s any major imperfections in that region. I mean, navels are navels, aren’t they? They all kind of look the same, generally speaking. Personally, I suspect that either Colin or the directors (or both) are just covering his abs because “washboard abs” are the Hollywood standard these days and our Colin isn’t really very muscular. So either Colin’s self-conscious of that or the directors just prefer to let the audience assume there’s a six-pack under that sheet/camera view.

And more evidence of an innie here:

Oh yeah totally, I was absolutely just kidding about Belly Button Gate. @thesschesthair and I have had many a conversation about how much we love his body type. I love every part of him and not in a creepy objectifying fan girl way, but in an overall “this is the kind of standard I have for attractiveness and what I find appealing” kind of way. I feel like it’s different. Maybe it’s not, I dunno it’s always a weird line, but I find him way more attractive than any of the “six pack abs” body types that seem to be prevalent in media, and that’s true fully clothed or not. Like for perspective I think the most attractive image I have of him and one that I think about a lot is standing with his feet together as Dark Hook in Rumple’s shop and he’s like fully and completely clothed. I just find something about that scene really, really appealing and other than the Duvet of Darkness that’s the most covered he’s ever been.

I hope you didn’t think I took offense to anything you said...

I am a firm believer in “What happens in the fandom stays in the fandom” - It doesn’t harm Colin in any way if we want to drool together over his adorable tummy or talk about his belly button. Yeah, it would be obnoxious to do it right in front of him or pester him with it, but that’s why we’re doing this silly stuff here and not on Twitter or somewhere there’s a reasonable assumption he might see it. Sexual attraction is a part of the human condition - one I don’t think needs to be taken half as seriously as some folks take it.

I use my “we’re fans of all of his parts” tag on posts containing gratuitous appreciation of any of his 2000 parts, not as a judgement! ;)

_____

The hardest part of the day was the dawn. The sun cresting the edge of the water, a small glow growing brighter on the horizon, the colors of a new morning filling the sky. She watched every daybreak, her own private penance, the darkness hissing and clawing the entire time. It loathed this indulgence. It dealt in death and pain, not the hope of a new day dawning. It was a quiet rebellion watching the sun rise, the world coming to life.

When she was younger, before the darkness, she had missed almost every one. Her family had teased her endlessly over her love of sleep, the difficulty that came from trying to wake her, her sneaking away for afternoon naps when she should be minding her lessons. When Aunt Aurora visited it was even worse, teasing jokes and spindles left by her breakfast plate. Her brother playing Prince Charming, tiny lips pressed to her forehead. Now she rarely slept, she didn’t need to, going years without it, the accompanying nightmares making it a distasteful thing, if she had any fear left in her it was reserved for sleep.

“Oh,” the whispered breath by her side startled her out of the memories. For such a clumsy man he was remarkably good at sneaking up on people. She supposed it was a consequence of trying to go unnoticed, a measure of protection. She had been alone for so long she’d forgotten to expect people, it was so rare to be sought for company alone, and even then she had never had anything to fear, not from anyone else at least. He had succeeded again in surprising her, but she was at least more prepared this time, her awareness of him stilling her arm before her mind caught up that he was there.

“Don’t you sleep?” She was a bit more harsh than she intended, gripping her arms to hug herself, keep herself contained. “I seem to remember people needing sleep.”

“I did a bit,” he rubbed the back of his head, not at all put out by her tone. She imagined he had heard worse, and the sorry feeling returned, a faint twisting in her chest.

“Habit I suppose,” he gestured out to the sunrise, looked out of the huge windows of the conservatory, the entire wall and roof nothing but clear glass filled with orange and pink light.

“Oh! I can…go?” He seemed to realize he might be intruding, his feet already backing away before she could answer, his head bowing in apology, but slowly, measured, as if he hoped she’d call him back.

Light of All Lights - A Fairy Tale in Three Parts (1/3)

Notes: This fic would not nearly be what it is without @caprelloidea​‘s handholding, encouragement and keen eye. She’s the best, I think you all agree. Based on a picset posted by @bleebug, encouraged by @its-imperator-furiosa​‘s enthusiasm for the idea, and written with @queen-mabs-revenge​ in mind. There is nothing explicitly dominate/submissive about this, but there are borrowed elements of that dynamic.

Summary: When his ship crashes onto a secluded island after a storm Killian “Deckhand Hook” Jones finds himself the unlikely companion to the dark “goddess” who inhabits it. A fairy tale in three parts. 

Rating: Explicit for whoa smut in the later chapters. Some mild violence.

Thunder cracked in the sky above, the entire ship tremoring and shuddering with the force, and not a blink later purple silver lighting flared brilliant white in the crew quarters. The storm was upon them.

Starkey crowed as Hook threw up an arm, his hammock swinging violently, almost pitching him to the deck, the flinch happening before he could check himself.

“Oh no not the raaain,” came a high pitched mocking voice from somewhere in the black darkness of the cabin. Probably Evans. Loud raucous laughter followed, but Hook ignored it, their mocking jeers the least of his concerns as the thunder boomed again, the ship pitching with the force of another wave.

Hook squeezed his eyes tighter, his hand clenched at his side to still the shaking.

It wasn’t that he was scared of storms persay, but bumpy seas always meant no lanterns could be lit, all fires must be extinguished, and the crew quarters were pitch black save for the flashing lighting in the portholes. It wasn’t that he was scared of the dark either, but he definitely preferred the light. He was also quite sure they were all going to die, and like most things in his life, he was terribly afraid of death.

“‘Maybe ‘e’s worried ‘is hook will rust,” came another voice. “Then how’ll he lay about scratching his arse the useless twat?” The laughs came again, the pounding rain at least drowning them out a tad. Thunder cracked once more, and in unison the men all shrieked in mock terror.

“Not me hair!” Came a cry.

“B-b-b-bloody hell,” came another. They laughed again. It was an old game, the same old insults, the same mocking jeers.

Hook continued to ignore them, a decade and then some of practice helping him along, focusing on his breath, on maintaining his place in the swinging hammock as the ship rocked and swayed beneath him. If he fell on his face in front of them again, it would only make it worse.

True love now is a post-it note stuck to a bathroom mirror, elaborate curling script declaring that she is beautiful one day, a vision the next.

It’s breakfast waiting for her warm in the oven, always with freshly cut fruit on the counter, sometimes a bouquet of flowers, no doubt pilfered from Maurice’s shop in the dead of night, on the table.

She misses when it was warm lips pressed to her temple. A firm hand grasping her own, fingers responding to her touch, curling into the spaces between. She misses moans of satisfaction vibrating into the skin of her neck, and teeth tugging on the lobe of her ear.

She curls into him, sleeping and lost, a warm body with no warmth, and pretends the arm she tucks around herself draws her closer. Pretends his grip tightens on her hip as she shifts further into his space, breathing him in. Pretends he has just fallen asleep before her, that he’ll be there, smiling sleepily at her when she wakes.

He won’t.

That makes it no less attractive. I’ve never seen it before and I shouldn’t have seen it now because Im compromised for life.

Loooool. It’s the floofy hair, right? The floofy hair with the soft clothing contrast to the dark angtsy black eye makeup??

He looks like a lumberjack stripper.

Apparently that’s a thing I’m really into.

ROFL. That is probably the best description i’ve ever heard and - well it must be a thing cos i’m into it too.

Where do we buy tickets for this show?

Ladies, this is apparently TOTALLY a thing.

Oh my @killian-whump this is the quality content I am here for.

Am I the only one dying from the cuteness of no12?

I mean doggy in plaid??

While the others are very very appealing… there’s a puppy… in plaid…

YES. I am totally on board for the lumbersexual gentleman with the puppy. I wonder if they ALL come with puppies, but the other puppies just aren’t pictured... Anyway, I’m partial to this one:
