Derren Brown/Broken Glass: OTP, Apparently.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT POLL:


Hottest picture I have ever seen. I am not kidding.


This is a picture (courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] lincolnimp) of Derren Brown lying on a great deal of broken glass.


[Poll #1456923]


Something Wicked This Way Comes was the first of Derren Brown's works I saw, and it is still one of my favourites. He hammers a nail up his nose and deprives himself of oxygen and walks on glass and has a man stand on his face and asks an audience member to slap him. I love it for all the wrong reasons.

(I swear I do not usually find pain this attractive. There is just something about Derren Brown injuring himself that is really, really hot.)


To finish on a slightly less horrifying note: here (YouTube link) is an incredibly lovely piece of music from Ōkami. I love that game so much. Its style is so beautiful, and it is so much fun, and, whilst I hesitate to pin down any one videogame as my absolute favourite, Ōkami would almost certainly be in my top three. Let's all listen to the piece and put this glasswalking business behind us.

Riona, I am finding your posts of late incredibly alarming on a number of levels ): ): ):

In a break from the apparent never-ending cycle of Greek: THUMBS UP FOR THAT PICTURE


this is all a bit worrying

See, I nearly took the commentbox question as 'who would you like to have Derren Brown snuggle up to instead of broken glass?' and I was like 'well, Jack Harkness seems like a good choice for that sort of thing, or maybe Robbie Williams, but then I can't imagine Derren and Robbie doing much snuggling'.

As it is, I left it blank, because I'd rather not see people snuggle up to broken glass.

God good, Riona, give us some warning first.

You know I'm going to rewatch that mirror!verse episode of Star Trek now, right?

Oh God Derren has a beard

Why don't you people like puppies?

Also, um, I only know who Derren Brown is because of this LJ, but now I think I really want Derren Brown/Callum Keith Rennie (http://z.about.com/d/movies/1/0/s/W/O/theinvisiblepic13.jpg)/BUCKETS OF PAIN fic and I don't know who I need to blame.

Why the FUCK do I find that so ridiculously hot? Oh god, oh god.

*WRINGS HANDS, LICKS SCREEN*

Why is that so attractive? Argh, fandom, you have ruined me for normal person-dom.

One of these days I am going to actually learn who Derren Brown is.

One of these days.

There is no option in your poll for I want to scritch and maybe snug him in a non-sexual way. :|

[identity profile] lincolnimp.livejournal.com 2009-09-13 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
eeh, had to check out the poll^^

There is just something about Derren Brown injuring himself that is really, really hot.
i know!

I picked the second-to-last option. That picture confuses and enrages my figurative boner.

*sigh* The sad thing is that compared to the people I am normally attracted to, seeing that picture and going "Mmmm, yes please" is practically normal. As a side note, I think what makes it so sexy (for me at least) is the hands behind the back. That's a good pose.

Well, that's made my evening. *stares at picture for a bit a long time*

[identity profile] serriadh.livejournal.com 2009-09-13 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like another option for 'it's hotter with sound, please' (and or movement, because it's the bit where he scrunches that makes me go a little bit odd). Because apparently I'm the wrongest person evah.

I'm kind of very glad there's nobody else at uni right now because my squeak of surprise when I scrolled past this picture may have worried them. I did not expect to see that picture on my friends page, and now I keep scrolling back up to see him making sweet love to the pile of broken glass.

RIONA, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. =|

[identity profile] strangeumbrella.livejournal.com 2009-09-13 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well HELLO. I've not had enough time on the internet etc over the past few days to give all your recent Derren Brown posts all the care and attention they deserve, but here I am on this one. I don't even know what the hell it is about Something Wicked and/or glass and/or whatever the hell else, but I know I have had conversations with more than one person, generally our first discussing him as a shared fandom, in which "That bit where he lay on the glass, was it me or was that hot?" came up fairly quickly. Verdict so far seems to have been unanimously that no, it was hot. I don't even know. Thank god he's back on tv.

I would like to conclude by contributing this picture, which is one of my favourite things [livejournal.com profile] cathamarine has ever made for me, and I think has never been more at home than in this post:

I think it's the comedy font and bizarrely grainy picture quality that makes it. I seem to remember it was also briefly removed from photobucket for violating their TOS, which is inexplicably hilarious.

*random drive-by comment is random* That picture has drastically improved my week. <3

Seriously, what is it with that broken glass bit? Clearly this is his tactic for mindcontrolling us perverts.

(This might be the weirdest first comment I've ever made on a total stranger's blog.)
