Shades Of A 022
Back from Norway! One nose bleed, a strained tendon in my foot and a chest infection later! Still had a great time though which says something XD
Chris says ‘I mean’ a lot when flustered.
The couple making out in the lift happens in 50 shades of grey- I believe it’s to create sexual tension or something but just ends up being weird. I’m using it to explore the characters a bit more- Chris is the type of guy who has no problem seeing kinky scenes happening in front of him in a club because he’s expecting to see it, but throw random people making out in front of him and he’ll get embarrassed. Anwar just gives no fucks.
In other news, we had some issues with Khaos Komix and the forum while I was away as we were moving servers. All is fine now except we lost a lot of forum posts though so it’s up to you to go forth and fill it back up again!
I also got another Shades fanart- this time of JD! This one’s by Sora and you can check out their tumblr over here: http://sacrifice-you-to-lucifer.tumblr.com
I THOUGHT this was supposed to be a direct parody of Shades of Grey. I haven’t read the series, but the comment about the basket oh stuff that apparently also featured in Shades of Grey, that tipped me off. I feel so smart. *blows kisses* Glad you had fun in Norway~!
Blushing Chris is super adorable. <3
I completely didn’t notice the couple making out behind them! Two guys who don’t know each other very well in an elevator is awkward enough to justify those faces.
Minimal dialogue and a lot still gets expressed. Yay. ^_^
Woo Anwar not giving all the fucks! Haha And I agree with Chaz, blushing Chris is adorable. :3
In regards to people making out in public… it’s never bothered me personally, even when it’s happening right next to me, but I can understand how it would bother others. Eeeeven somebody who spends a modicum of their free time at kink klubs. haha
Soooo, I JUST realized that people were making out in the elevator when they got in. I know what you’re thinking, “Dude, your perception skills are top notch!”
Wow! I keep forgetting that this is suppose to be a parody of Fifty Shades of Grey XD. I still don’t plan to read the book, ’cause I keep getting these weird chills as soon as I think about, so I just assume its a bad omen and move on XDDD.
I feel like I can relate to Chris, though. It’s not bad when it happens in fiction of any kind, or when you see your firends do that with their significant others, but in real life and with people I don;t know, I get a little embarrassed for staring, ’cause i feel like I’m being rude and quickily look away. Except then I get annoyed, because sometimes certain things are added to the make out session, and I’m all like “gee, I don’t think its a great idea to do that in public, people…. where everyone can see *that*….. aren’t you getting a little carried away? O.O….” .
I wish I could be more like an Anwar though, and not give a damn, but I can’t help but be surprised at life…. sometimes XD. I blame my sheltered and over-protected childhood…. I guess that’s why I have friends who can corrupt my brain at any time they please XD. And the Internet. Defenitely the internet.
If this going to be a parody of Shades of Grey… Is there going to be any romance? That would kind of deviate from the actual book, I know, since there was nothing romantic happening there, but… I kinda want to see Anwar and Chris get together even though I really feel like that’s not going to happen?
@Kaitlyn- oh, the whole premise of FSOG is that it’s DEEPLY romantic. Ana’s love SAVES Grey.
Already this is FAR beyond a parody. I don’t believe it’s an actual parody and I love this panel- the idea that whilst the godawful protagonists of FSOG go about their godawful “romance”, another one, with many parallels, but infinitely more awesome is going on at the same time.
I have, sadly, read all 3 tomes. (I like to know what I’m disparaging.) For those of you who have better things to do (all of you, really!) here are some snippets from my Goodreads review:
“At best, a laughably ill-written and ill-researched piece of trite; at worst, an alarmingly damaging series. Clumsy writing, poorly thought out metaphors and repetition that, frankly, verges on outright laziness. Add to this the insinuations that anyone who has a genuine interest in BSDM must be in someway severely damaged and just needs saving, which are downright insulting.
Details that do alarm: the contract (yes, a feature of SOME sub/dom relationships but negociated by both parties who- this being the crucial part- know, respect and trust one another); the frequent non-consensual moments; BSDM being used as genuine revenge; the insinuation that Ana is to blame for not using her safe word, followed in a later novel by Christian shaming her for using it; the disturbingly controlling behaviours that seem to be suggested are the norm in BSDM. BSDM is based on safe, consensual and sane- all of which seem not to feature all that heavily in this series.”
Tab, this is brilliant stuff; my only complaint is it’s not a daily update but I’ll forgive that! :P
Chris is Fifty Shades of Adorable right here! *swoon*
This page is awesome. Lots of clever stuff is being said wordlessly. I love the last panel. More scenery porn, please? :D
Chris is totally adorable! Loving this new story!
Love the fan art on this one. JD is good!
