for any fellow guy/jasper ppl
in the words of this vid maker's, "the old man vampire yaoi propaganda got me y'all." i ship it, so for anybody out there who's similarly on board, i wanted to jot down some thoughts!
- i am absolutely good with lingering in the tension between them of (mostly) unrealized attraction, mixed with a heaping dose of uncertainty and self-interest, mistrust and fear. i feel like the show didn't actually invest enough time in building their relationship to a point where the inevitable breakup (even if we're supposed to take it as heterosexual, haha) hit as hard as it could've. altho YEAH it still kinda did, bc their chemistry is just that good?? but i wish s1 gave them a longer run, so anything that extends the time between their first meeting and flambé jasper is a++ in my book.
- would love to play with more s1 fill-in scenes, e.g. wary-but-attracted, feeling-u-out/getting-to-know-u chats; supernatural intrigues, clashes with other vamps/creatures in the shadows; overnight adventures spying on other talamasca agents, the guy ritchie covens, etc etc.
- i'd be all about general canon-divergence goodies: the raglan james nonsense goes REALLY south, so that jasper has to step in, in addition to/instead of checkers; the discussion in the car afterwards goes differently, OR the parking garage confrontation has another, less breakup-worthy outcome 👀👀👀
- post s1 reunion. what happens next??? can guy get jasper tf outta houseman's clutches somehow, bc for Reasons they've still gotta work together—but there's unresolved issues TO SAY THE LEAST??
this is wip like whoa
