A gorgeous contradiction

[breakinglight11]

Whenever new people discover my blog, I get anxious about my content. Should I hold off on the silly nonsense for a while and only post, say, polished writings or serious intellectual musing, so as to convince the new readers that I have worthwhile things to say?

But fuck it, this is who I am. My brain gets eaten by larps, I rant about silly pop culture phenomenons, and I drool over pretty boys. Especially the pretty Avengers boys. Which I want to do right now.

I read a Penny and Aggie comic from a few years ago doing a who's who strip of the large cast of characters. They made a point of explaining how, of the two main sought-after male characters in the strip, one is even hotter because he realizes how masculine he is, and the other is even hotter because he doesn't realize how feminine he is. The strip acknowledges how bizarre this contradiction is. And yet, still true. It makes me think of one of my favorite things about some of my favorite Avengers. Tony and Steve are both fabulous, but in a way they make each other more delicious in their contrast, like the salty and sweet in a chocolate-covered pretzel.

You see, Tony is arrogant, splashy, slutty, a smoking hottie and he knows it. Which makes him even more attractive.

Steve is modest, quiet, a little-self conscious, a smoking hottie and he doesn't even know it. Which ALSO makes him even more attractive.

Yeah, I don't know how that works either. But, oh, how it does. How ever how it does. And I'm not ashamed to think that.

...This entry was friends-only for a while. Thought it best not to overwhelm the newcomers right away. ;-)

... I can't decide if this entry makes me want sex or a chocolate-covered pretzel.

I thought I'd share.

Sex while eating chocolate covered pretzels?

That would be complicated, even for me.

I have to say, while I don't much care about the Avengers one way or another, I have very much enjoyed ogling pictures of these guys on Tumblr (especially RDJ), and I enjoy the little glimpses I get of the character's personalities.

Mmm, eye candy for teh ladies.

"Mmm, eye candy for teh ladies."

WORD WORD WORD WORD WORD.

Mind candy, too! Because as you've said before, you find Captain America much sexier than Chris Evans himself.

Oh, exactly!
