I'm Expecting My Tinhat in the Mail Any Day Now

[strina]

Jackie and Hyde are still giving me ALL THE FEELINGS. I am still confused by this. That '70s Show reruns on, like, four different channels, so I am recording a million episodes that all take about 45 minutes to watch, because yes, I can skip commercials, but then I have to replay things fifteen times, because the way he cups her face! "I think it's a real waste!" He likes her in a wedding dress!

I SHIP IT SO HARD, YOU GUYS. Although I would totally also read the Jackie/Kelso/Fez, if anyone had written it.

IT HAS REACHED THE POINT WHERE I MAP IT TO THE BDSM 'VERSE. Which is totally my new way to measure fannish love, btw. No one will ever write it, but it can still make me happy in my brain, and then a little sad, because the BDSM 'verse can even make me sympathize with sleeping-with-Laurie Kelso and that is a feat.

Every so often I get into the habit of watching that show on its many, many reruns each day, and then I start shipping Jackie/Hyde so much.

... If you ever get in the mood to ramble on this I, for one, would like to hear it. With any show, really, but especially on this one. >>

THEY ARE SO MEANT TO BE.

So I was sitting through all these eps and while J/H are totally my OTP, it became really clear to me that Kelso actually really loved her; he was just bad at it. And even when she was doing the on-off dance with Kelso, she went to Hyde for comfort and reassurance. And so clearly in the BDSM 'verse, Kelso is a switch so balanced that he's nearly nondynamic and Jackie is a pushy sub who ends up topping from the bottom, even though that's not what she really needs (she's very old-fashioned and her dearest ambition is a collar and a house and babies). Laurie, on the other hand, is a very experienced top and so pushes his buttons in a very real and different way than Jackie (he needs both, hence the two girlfirends thing is less "cheating horndog" and more "stupid teenager trying to figure out his dynamic", and much more forgivable to me).

THEY REALLY ARE.

You know, since I've only ever caught odd reruns I have never seen any of the last season. I kind of want to keep it that way. -- Although Netflix Instant Watch has it now and I'm really tempted to start watching the rest of it in order next time I am at my parents' house.

... That makes sense. That makes a lot of sense. And I want there to be fic for this theory. (But I want more BDSM-verse fics for various fandoms in general. It makes me happy when I stumble onto it.)

BDSM 'verse should be in ALL the fandoms. I am totally hoping that it becomes a Thing on the level of, like, barista AUs.

[chasethecloudsaway]

... I have never actually seen barista AUs. Is this common? XD

I would go for BDSM verses in all fandoms, though. >> I have not actually read many of them, but what little I have read makes me want more.

Red and Bob are tops; Midge, Kitty, and Fez are subs. Donna's living the stereotypical romance with the geeky sub next door (she totally has Eric sit between her thighs and uses him for an armrest and he secretly loves it).

Hyde's a top who's never had a sub for more than a night or two and so Jackie terrifies him, because she's this spoiled little princess, right, and he has no idea how to tell what she even needs. He can't let her depend on him, and anyway, what's a regular sub gonna give him that he doesn't already have? But Jackie's been fighting a bad dynamic mesh for what, two years at that point? She's a hell of a lot stronger than either of them think, and after she kicks Laurie's ass in the basement (yes, a sub would be less likely to attack a top, but 1) Jackie and 2) you combine the "love of your life" crack with catty remarks about how the sex was so bad Michael turned sub? THERE WILL BE BLOOD), well, maybe it's worth a shot. There ain't nothing he could do to break that girl.

... My reaction of "this makes a lot of sense" and "I want fic" continues. I have nothing more interesting to say, really, just -- YES. Want.

Normally I really don't do male dom/female sub? But with J/H, I am totally down with it.

(And somehow BDSM 'verse Hyde's jealousy makes more AND less sense! J/K had a bad dynamic mesh and it will never work out, BUT she tried so hard for so long! I am beginning to love this idea as much as the Buffy and Generation Kill versions.)
