big bang theory picspam
I am completely hyped up on coffee and term papers, and you know what's better than term papers? Sheldon's forearms. And hands. Really just that general arm-wrist-hand area.
That's right, I said it.
So with that thought in mind, I put together a picspam that is ostensibly of 2x16 "The Cushion Saturation," but in fact is an excuse to further examine Jim Parson's arms.
"It baffles me why they don't simply let some of you go so there is money available for my research."
Actually, we're looking at his neck in this cap. He looked particularly delicious in this episode, amrite? It's not just me?
"I believe the back-scratching metaphor generally describes a quid-pro-quo situation where one party provides goods or services to the second party in compensation for a similar action...The 'mrraaow' - that sounded to me like an African Civet Cat."
He also has adorable ears. They're so little! And his hands. They're not little, but they're very nice hands.
"Leslie Winkle is the fifth girl I've ever had sex with! I mean, for free."
Leonard and Sheldon are awesome together; in some interview Johnny Galecki talked about how there's even a buddy-comedy element to the show. I tend to gloss over Leonard in favor of Penny/Sheldon, but Leonard's a fun character in his own right.
"That is my spot. In an ever-changing world, it is a single point of consistency. If my life were expressed as a function on a four-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, that spot, at the moment I first sat on it, would be (0, 0, 0, 0)."
More importantly, Batman cookie jar! On the microwave!
"...What?"
Penny makes the best puzzled faces at Sheldon. "I swear, Sheldon, someday I'll get the hang of talking to you!"
"Boy, I love him, but he is one serious whack-a-doodle."
THIS. THIS KILLED ME DEAD. I love how she's so casual about it, but doesn't think twice about saying she loves him. Even if you don't want to take it in the romantic sense, it really shows how their relationship has grown. (BUT WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO TAKE IN THE ROMANTIC SENSE? I mean, I'm a crazed shipper, so I can take everything in the romantic sense, but you have to admit that this line has possibilities.)
"I'm from Nebraska. When we shoot things it's because we want to eat them or make them leave our boyfriends alone."
Oh, Penny.
"You know what the best thing about friends is?"
"They don't talk incessantly for no particular reason?"
Sheldon, honey, I don't think you're one to throw stones for talking incessantly. More importantly, ARMS. AGAIN. They're sort of lean and corded and he has lovely wrists, doesn't he?
"Hello, fastest man alive. Wanna see me read your entire comic book? ...Wanna see it again?"
Oh, Sheldon. Also, where do they stash all their comics? I know Sheldon has some on the shelves in his room. (He also has some of the DC Showcase Presents volumes on his bookcase...someday I'm going to go through and make a list of all the comic book references in the show. Alas, it's fairly apparent that Sheldon favors DC over Marvel.) At any rate, where do they keep their longboxes? They must have stacks by now. Are they under the bed? We know Leonard doesn't keep his in his bedroom closet...
Love Penny's attempt to look innocent. And that dart board...do they actually play darts? Plot bunny!
"Something's wrong."
He sounds so little and sad, like his whole world's been turned upside-down. And then later Leonard had to go hit him with the cashew chicken confession! Poor Sheldon.
He sounds like a disgruntled cat in this scene. Have you ever locked an older cat in a cage and put it in the car to drive to the vet? That's how Sheldon sounds. (Also, I'm pretty sure he's a cat person. He had Lucky when he was little, after all, and I like the idea that he's a cat person, even if he wouldn't ever own a cat because...the germs! The shedding! They're just not that sanitary!)
"Sheldon, I am really, really sorry, but it's only for a week! Can't you be a little bit flexible?"
Most ships have a certain fanon convention that popularly symbolizes the truth of their love. Buffy uses Spike's coat as a bathrobe. Barney buys Robin her own pillow. Edward refrains from eating Bella. But Sheldon? Kids, you know it's love when he lets you sit in his spot.
Let's admire the way fingers meet chopsticks! The elegance! The form! The sheer tenacity of the hand fetish!
"Why are you crouching there?"
"This is my spot. Where else am I supposed to crouch?"
"There. Nice and comfy-cozy. Zero, zero, zero."
"There's one more zero. You forgot the time parameter."
They're mirroring each others' body language! Aren't couples supposed to unconsciously imitate each other or something like that?
"Sit on the damn couch!"
Which, in my mind, proves conclusively that she knows how to handle him.
"But...oh, this changes everything. What's real? What isn't? How can I know?"
I feel I should also point out that he has something nice going on with his shoulders lately. Maybe I'm just noticing this now?
He's looking at her! I mentioned the crazed shipper thing, right? Because I do realize that in most parts of the world, looking at someone isn't considered a confession of undying love and devotion. Except for on CBS, where it totally is.
Old Klingon proverb: Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Penny and Sheldon. Their love would spawn perfect, paintball-playing babies. It would be epic.
See, wasn't that better than writing a term paper?

sheldon_penny. Not me, but, y'know, someone. Because I feel like 80% of the people that read my blathering are really only here for the Tsubasa fanfiction, so...thank you for putting up with me? I'm pretty sure some of those Sheldon/Penny fans are mind readers. *hugs f-list*)

Oh, I agree. I actually missed that line the first time 'round because it was so casual. The way Kaley delivered it was quite intriguing. I would've expected a line like that to be said more jokingly, but the 'I love him' was so straight and sincere. It does show how much their relationship has genuinely progressed.
And to someone unfamiliar with the show, that scene would almost make it seem like S/P were a couple. *dreams*I was thinking for a while that your username was really familiar. Now I realise, it's because I've seen you - and your awesome fanfiction - around in the TRC/KuroFai fandom (though I haven't really posted anything in those parts for yeons). Friends, maybe? :)
(Seconding on the Friending meme idea, btw. I think there was one a while back, but it started whilst I was all cosy asleep in bed - and by the time I woke up and noticed the post, the flurry of friending had died down and there didn't seem like much point posting.)
no subject
Friending meme ftw! On the other hand, that other one was only five or six weeks ago, and I totally missed out on it, too - I was making a friends-cut because I didn't think I could keep up with my f-list this semester. So much for that!
And I would absolutely love to be friends! Especially with anyone that likes TRC + TBBT. Also, my mad stalker fu skills tell me that you like Doctor Who, and I'm juuuust starting to dip my toe into that overwhelmingly enormous fandom. I, um, like Four and Nine so far?
Ooo, his hands are lovely, aren't they? I almost wonder if Jim Parsons hasn't been working out - I think he mentioned something getting a personal trainer...? I took it in jest, but maybe he really did. He looks more...corded...than before. *joins you in the staring*
> The way Kaley delivered it was quite intriguing. I would've expected a line like that to be said more jokingly, but the 'I love him' was so straight and sincere.
TRUE STORY. I just about dropped over from shock when she said it so straightforward.

Most importantly, you should know that Skullcrusher Mountain is completely taking over my life. Without realizing it I was singing it on the way out of class yesterday, and my professor asks, "Oh, hey, what are you singing?" I sang her the bit about the half-monkey half-pony and she cracked up!
Thanks for the links! I do remember that friending meme now...it coincided with my first friends-cut, because I panicked at the beginning of the semester and didn't think I could keep up with my f-list. Figures I'd be whinging about it now.

BUT WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO TAKE IN THE ROMANTIC SENSE?
EXACTLY. WHY WOULDN'T YOU?
Which, in my mind, proves conclusively that she knows how to handle him.
This is why they'd be great together! In my mind, anyways. I don't know if the show will ever go there, but I'd love it if they did. I love Leonard as a character, but he and Penny don't do anything for me in a romantic sense, and I really hope that the creators aren't dead-set on them ending up together.
I've friended you, because I'd love to have more Sheldon/Penny fans on my flist, plus you also like Barney/Robin, who I'm also obsessed with.

"Hello, fastest man alive. Wanna see me read your entire comic book? ...Wanna see it again?"
They way he delivered that line was absolutely brilliant and hilarious. It really is the way he speaks. It melts me every time I hear him. Even if I don't know what the hell he's talking about.
"But...oh, this changes everything. What's real? What isn't? How can I know?"
I love how he's such a nerdy drama queen without being girly in any way. Damn he's hot.
no subject
THIS. SO TRUE.
Jim Parsons is definitely a gifted actor. He makes Sheldon so lovable and yet so neurotic.
no subject
yes, unfortunately :( poor thing. even the younger one hates it with a blinding passion.
i really really dont get why they insist that sheldon doesnt have ocd or aspergers, yet they do episodes like this. i just want to hug him when his routine gets thrown off and he gets so upset.
Buffy uses Spike's coat as a bathrobe
strangely enough, given the amount of spuffy-fic i consumed as a teenager, ive never seen this one come up.
in relation to sheldon and penny, though...i SWEAR she does it deliberately. she KNOWS its his spot, how could she POSSIBLY forget it? yet it seems like shes the only one that he has to constantly remind.
Which, in my mind, proves conclusively that she knows how to handle him.
seriously! who else gets away with this?? i recall leonard scolding him in 'the luminous fish effect', and he ran off like a frightened deer.
other things that i noticed/liked this episode: penny's '.....what?'. so simple and hilarious. leonard 'acting normal'. penny's 'here we go'. HEE, she really is one of them now! and knows sheldon so well! and the way she bites her lip and just SMIRKS at him when leonard pops him with the paintball.
also, towards the end of the chinese scene when sheldon is once again making the distressed-cat sound and attempting to perch on the counter, in the foreground kaley cuoco drops a piece of food from her chopsticks and then catches it with the bowl. i found it adorable. lol also the way her voice breaks like a twelve-year-old boy going through puberty when she yells at sheldon at the end.
.....yep, girlcrush mode is going strong.
no subject
I do think Penny is the only one besides Sheldon's mom (and possibly Missy) who knows how to handle him. Actually, I feel like there should be more stories with Missy; she definitely has untapped potential. And I don't understand how they claim that Sheldon doesn't have Asperger's either! Seriously, writers. Come on.
Maybe the Buffy-wearing-Spike's-coat thing is more recent? I...*coughs*...may exaggerate slightly when I say she uses it as a bathrobe, but it seems like the stories drenched in purple prose always had a scene where she uses his coat to cover her luscious nakedness, and then Spike is insanely turned on, and they make HAWT VAMPIRE LOVE AND HIS BITE IS THE BALM TO COOL HER FIRES. Or, y'know, something like that.
no subject
i liked missy too! another character that on paper, i find has the potential to be really annoying. but i just love sheldons family and the way they love him and care about him, even though hes so completely different from them. weve seen that howard and raj's parents care about them also, and im sorry but i feel like the only reason they gave leonard the cold, unfeeling mother is for the chance to woobify him and give him and penny a chance to hook up. while she was absolutely HYSTERICAL, i just dont see leonard as being raised like that, given that hes the most normal out of the group.
yeah, i was thinking that about the buffy/spike thing also - its been quite some time since ive read any fic about the two of them.
and they make HAWT VAMPIRE LOVE AND HIS BITE IS THE BALM TO COOL HER FIRES
LOL!!!! yes, the biting did seem to be a fairly recurring theme. i certainly never minded. though to be fair, i was about 15-17 when i was reading b/s fic.
p to the s your icon is ALL KINDS OF AWESOME!!
no subject
(Anonymous) 2009-03-07 10:23 am (UTC)(link)It also explains how he can endure Sheldon. Plus, Sheldon was raised by normal people, and look how he turned out.
I don't see anything romantic at all with Sheldon and Penny, but I do love their interaction.
There's something heroic about how hard Sheldon works to overcome (to some degree) his social disabilities.
no subject
I think TBBT does a really good job of making potentially annoying characters likable. In fact, about the only character I consistently find annoying is Leonard himself, but I also love him to bits at the same time, so that's okay. I really have a hard time buying Leonard's mother as that distant, too; I think his dad must be something really special. OTOH, that's also yet another reason to ship P/S over P/L - she gets along that much better with the in-laws. *g*
This icon cracks me up every time I use it. William the Bloody: ultimate woobie.

THIS. THIS KILLED ME DEAD. I love how she's so casual about it, but doesn't think twice about saying she loves him. Even if you don't want to take it in the romantic sense, it really shows how their relationship has grown. (BUT WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO TAKE IN THE ROMANTIC SENSE? I mean, I'm a crazed shipper, so I can take everything in the romantic sense, but you have to admit that this line has possibilities.)
I know! I actually stopped the show and rewound it on my DVR to hear her say it three more times. It's so natural and honest and, as you said, even if it isn't shippy, she still clearly cares about him. However, as a crazed shipper myself, I totally saw the potential there. :-D
Which, in my mind, proves conclusively that she knows how to handle him.
Not only does she know how to handle him, I honestly think he does things for her that he wouldn't for anyone else. He initially agrees to sit on the cushion despite not wanting to when she pleads, "Come on, Sheldon, just try it." And though he clearly doesn't want to and is very reluctant he agrees. No way would have done that for any of the guys.
I feel I should also point out that he has something nice going on with his shoulders lately. Maybe I'm just noticing this now?
I don't know, maybe I'm just noticing it now, too, but I totally agree. It seems like his shoulders are broader now or something.
He's looking at her! I mentioned the crazed shipper thing, right? Because I do realize that in most parts of the world, looking at someone isn't considered a confession of undying love and devotion. Except for on CBS, where it totally is.
Haha, agreed! And I had noticed him looking at her, too, during that scene. And she glances at him, too, several times. It may not be an overt confession, but I see it as subconscious attraction and unrealized feelings.
Penny and Sheldon. Their love would spawn perfect, paintball-playing babies. It would be epic.
Epic, indeed. :-D
