Gareth David-Lloyd: Pie status

[tencrush]

I said I'd get a few conventions out of the way before doing a pie update, so here it is. It is actually just an excuse to post some pictures for great justice and all that. (Picture credits in the titles, peeps.)

Polaris Toronto, a week and a bit ago. Let's start with pressing pie matters:



I can't quite work out what's going on in this one, is that a bulge? Or is that the shirt? Answers on a postcard, please, fabric or tum?? I just can't decide. What I can see is that he hasn't been taking my advice to heart regarding not putting things in his pockets because it draws the eye away from his cock. *squints* Unless that is his cock. In which case I haven't said a word and congratulations, young man.

Onwards!



THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! Two shining examples of how, if they can't quite see it, to keep the audience at least thinking about your cock. Put a wee doggy on it. Make sure the doggy looks happy and pleased to be near it. A stellar plan, well thought through, well executed. Kudos, Gareth.




I was meant to be taling about pie, but, again, I can't quite make my mind up. I think we're still heading in the right direction, but I can't be sure.


On to ComicCon, last Thursday:



Again, there's a strange fabricy thing going on here that I can't quite put my finger on. In this case I'm pretty sure it's fabric. Also, yes, that's John Barrowman's mother. Maybe we could ask her? And, yet again, unless your cock is shaped like a packet of fags, Gareth, I'm thinking that's probably a packet of fags. STOP IT!




This one's a bit clearer on the pie front, and I'm thinking this is definitely a positive development. Also, I note the tan thing has been taken on board, and damn, it does suit him. The pasty Welshness wasn't helping matters in any way. Good job, boy!




Chin status: Good, going well. Designer stubble, still, so it's hard to tell, but again I think we're going places. Good, fine places. Also, maybe I've just put this smiley picture in for no real reason. It's cute. Mmmm.

PIE STATUS AS OF JULY 2008: Still undecided, but the tan is doing it for me. I'm going, hesitantly, with a positive progession.

ETA: From the pictures and video I've been looking at re. pie, I'm getting the distinct impression that in the past few months Gareth has fallen into the trap that so many young men have fallen into before him. He does seem to be going to the gym regularly now, but he seems to be concentrating on building up muscle. He's gone way broader on top than he used to be and he's suddenly way more defined in the chest and shoulders, but he doesn't seem to be getting enough aerobic exercise to get rid of the gut. Hire a personal trainer, boy!


Last note of non-connected noteworthyness, this is griggharris' signed picture:



IT IRKS ME, that NOBODY at the BBC has, in the past year, taken it upon themselves to edit the shadows of the other cast member's coats out of these individual promo shots that they cut out of the group shot. IT'S LAZY AND STUPID AND WOULD ONLY TAKE TEN MINUTES IN PHOTOSHOP FFS! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Ok, so everyone here bitching about GDL's weight. Post a picture. Now. Come on, since clearly you must be Greek gods, let's see you. Oh wait? You're not perfect?! Then back off!

Seriously, so the guy gained a couple lbs, he's not the 600 lb man or anything by any stretch of the imagination. He's a hot young guy. So what if he has a tiny bit of a belly on him, he's still hot! It's people sitting around doing stuff like this, that gives actors and actresses eating disorders! (And it's even ruder, when you KNOW for a fact that the person in question is in fandom! Imagine how you would feel if you stumbled across someone posting something like this about you.)

Or about any woman!

I think he always looks lovely. Also I love his pale skin, it is beautiful and suits his colouring. JB also looks lovely when pale. I can't bear all this over tanned nonsense.

Considering that tencrush is also communicating extreme fondness for his cock alongside her comments of his weight, I doubt he'd be too offended. Also I'm sure it's nothing he's completely unaware of.

I suppose I can see why people are upset about this, but personally, I think it's hilarious and in good nature. People who want to be loved for their beautiful, beautiful souls do not, for the most part, go into showbusiness.

Nor have I ever understood this whole "you aren't qualified to have an opinion because you aren't perfect!" argument. You don't have to be a lauded screenwriter to know when a show sucks, you don't have to be a literary critic to think a book sucks, and you don't have to be a breathtakingly gorgeous movie star to know when someone is getting a bit chubby. Everyone's entitled to have an opinion and voice it if they so choose. I don't see the harm in this. Mostly because I really, really doubt that GDL actually reads this LJ.

Well he has admitted to reading fanfic, so you never know ;-)

LOL for the "beautiful souls" comment. Word.

And also word on the OMG you not perfect argument, that is such a bullshit argument, I'm not Gordon Fucking Ramsay either, but I still know this steak's fucking well done when I asked for rare. Take it back.
(For the record, though, just so we're clear: I'm pretty fucking stunning. Gorgeous, some might say. :p)

I think you'll find, if you read back, that nobody's bitching about his weight, we're just having a bit of fun over-scrutinising some photos of a dude we'd all DESPERATELY LIKE TO FUCK.

Like I've said before, if I were Gareth, I think I'd be less worried about my lame pie jokes, and rather more worried by my seemingly obsessive and growing fascination with his cock.

Wait, are you trying to get me onto fandom_wank? Go on, you can tell me.

[tencrush]

And despite the fact that I think that's the most bullshit argument I've ever heard, here you go.
