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?

(ETA: I'm also thinking that someone should sometime start another friending meme over at [livejournal.com profile] 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*)

Great picspam~! :D (I got here whilst surfing through the S/P friend page, btw). I know what you mean with the hand/forearm love. *stares*

>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.)

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.)

In reverse order, because...that's how I roll?

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.
