"Homoerotic greeting card?" she said in lousy Quebecois, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Nothing like realizing three hours after your rather conservative, definitely homoskittish and practicing Catholic parents-in-law have already settled into the guest room where you keep your various action figures that you forgot to put away






made by the awesome pixiequeen10thk.

Oops.

If I'm really lucky, neither of them noticed the very large picture of John and Rodney kissing while Rodney is handcuffed to a wall. Or they didn't think that the action figures were actually kissing. Or that there were handcuffs. Or something. Yeah.

(Psst! Bid for my stuff at help_japan!)

Ahahahaha!!!! I can't see the picture :-( but even thinking about that is funny!! :-D

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that! I forgot her journal is locked. I've copied the pictures to my post so you can see the card anyway. :D

It was funny! In a breathless, OMG! kind of way. ;>

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

BAHAHAHAHAHA what a great card!!!! ROTFL!

And your Dragon icon is adorable :-)

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I made it myself! It's for the cover page of a recent SGA fanfiction story I wrote for the sga_santa fiction gift exchange in December. :)

*snort*

I know exactly what you mean! I have the whole "Shrine" wall surrounding my computer and then I had the book cover for UW on the wall---and forgot they were all there when I brought Mr. Fixit through to the bedroom to fix the space heater. *facepalm*

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Hee. Yes! Yes, I can completely sympathize with that! I wonder if Mr. Fixit even noticed, or--and more likely--if your wall was tame compared to some things he's probably seen....

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

It certainly made me re-arrange a few things! The book cover is behind the computer monitor now! ;-)

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

ICON LOL!!!

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

The lovely and talented vida_boheme made it for me!

But I'm so glad I came back to your post because the graphics weren't up the last time I was here! Yay for bound and gagged Rodney as a gift for John... from TODD. *glee*

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Pixiequeen is crazy talented. And she's got a fantastically wicked sense of humour. :D I'm glad you got to see it.

[ribbon-purple.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear. LOL

*hugs*

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks! ♥

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

lol! that's an "oh shit!" moment I can imagine so well!

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was one of those moments, definitely. :D

You get the last laugh. Their precious grandson is humanist Jewish.

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Actually, considering their background, they are surprisingly live-and-let-live. I know for example that my mother in law wanted Dom and I to get married in a church, but she only ever mentioned it once (to my husband, in passing I think), and has never made me feel anything less than welcome. :)

[kid-lit-fan.livejournal.com]

Y'know, homoskittishness is not exactly a sensibility that you should feel you have to nuture. And this isn't a particularly offensive card (if it were hard-core porn, that'd be problematic), but if they're so conservative that (toy)guy-guy kissing is going to send them over the edge, there's not a whole lot you can do to make 'em love you.

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

I appreciate your sentiments, but it was really more of a question of my avoiding embarrassment all 'round. :) And they actually do seem to love me quite a bit--we just don't share quite as many values as I'd like, but they've been extremely hands-off when it comes to the things they might not agree with. In fact, my Dad gave me much more of a hard time about my son not being circumcised than they ever gave my husband about our son not being Christened. In fact I don't think they ever mentioned it at all.

[mckaysmonkey.livejournal.com]

Great pics - thanks for sharing.

I can see how you wouldn't want to offend the in-laws. Lord knows what the consequences would be.

I have to be careful what's on display because I never know when my 14 year old son will decide to walk in my room. I don't think any kid wants to know about their mum's porn. (even though I'm sure he has some of his own on his laptop or phone).

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Hee! You've very welcome--Pixiequeen is really great at that stuff. You should check out the links to her SGA McShep action figure comic journal. :)

I completely agree with you on the mom's porn stuff, but may I say awesome for you that you don't bug him about his. I hope he knows what kind of a give that privacy and respect is from a parent.

[mckaysmonkey.livejournal.com]

Thanks - is the icon your son - he's cute!

I figure there's a difference between trying to protect your kids and just being mean. I know I can trust my son not to copy any dumb things he sees on youtube so there's no need to censor his stuff any more.

I'd stay out of his room too, but his dirty clothes haven't learned how to walk to the laundry basket on their own yet!

Going to check out pixiequeen's journal - not sure if I've seen her comics before?

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

You might have seen her stuff, since she links to mckay_sheppard, but if not, you're in for a treat. :D

You still are an awesome mom in my book--especially for braving the kids room for dirty laundry! Can't wait 'til I get to do that with a sweaty, stinky teenager. :P

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Oh! And sorry, yes! That's my kid. I love his little face. :D

[mckaysmonkey.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun. Your kid is cute!
Thanks for introducing me to pixiequeen - added her to my flist. Actually I'm just off to reply to her comment now!

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Cool! Very glad to make the introductions. :D

[twistedhilarity.livejournal.com]

OMG, I about died laughing.

...to return the favor, did you ever see that John and Rodney cookie porn someone sent me?

http://bitter-crimson.livejournal.com/577790.html#cutid1

Titled:The Epic Tale of Rodney & John, Two Girl Scout Cookies in Love

About died on that one, too. XD

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! I'd been wanting to read that again. That story is the epitome of the entire scope of awesomeness that is SGA crackfic, right there. The sex scenes never fail to be hilarious. :D
