Northstar, honey!
Jun. 5th, 2003 04:44 pmConfession: It's been ages since I read Uncanny X-Men. Lately I've been buying every issue and saving them up for a rainy day.
Today, out of perverse curiosity, I started to read the new issue, #425, by Chuck Austen and Philip Tam. (Any relation to Simon and River, I wonder?) "Sacred Vows" #1 of 2.
There's a wonderful moment of dialogue at a mixed stag for Alex and Lorna, who are (ostensibly) getting married. Northstar (Jean-Paul Beaubier) is sitting at a table with the girls:
Jean Grey: ...Personally, I don't know what everyone sees in Gambit. He's cute, but....
Lorna Dane: Oh, please, Jean! He's a dish. Isn't he, Northstar?
Northstar: A spicy Cajun dish with some seriously hot buns.
Well, I certainly agree, but the fun thing about this is that when I last was reading about Northstar - back when he had his own miniseries, and before that, when he came out as gay - he was the most chaste gay guy in fiction. And now, hey, he has good taste in Cajuns! And talks about it. Why do I think Gambit would like that? Because Gambit is a flirt, of course.
Judging by this, Chuck Austen is witty and inventive, and the art by Philip Tam appeals to me: it looks like "what if Rob Liefeld was European".
Okay, now I have to catch up on my reading of "Uncanny X-Men". How am I going to find the time?

Orlando Bloom: you like them dead sexy, with an
orgasmic accent and looks. *drool*
Which guy are you destined to have sex with?

It's the archery that attracts. Not to mention his voice. And the way he moves. And all that gorgeous beautiful long Elvish hair that never, never gets tangled in battle.
Immortal, too.
Okay, okay, I know it says "Orlando Bloom" not "Legolas of Mirkwood" but give me a break: it's the only role I've seen Bloom in. Yet. Let me have my lovely little fantasies of stylish elvishness.
(Besides, I love him because he loves Aragorn.)
