Tumblr thinks this is porn

Tumblr has new policies and I got flagged. A lot.

This one just amuses me.

Screencaps from the Smallville episode Talisman Season 3. Okay, I’m obsessive. 

That first is a very provocative setup, looked at from a Kink PoV. Hands clasped behind his back. This is a common waiting position. it is strong and contemplative body language. It is a mark of confidence. It’s also a comfortable way to wait. But juxtapose that with the only color in that part of the scene, the red ropes. Behind the back is also the position for handcuffs. it is a display position for bondage.

And that scene goes right into a conversation where EVERYTHING sounds like a triple entendre. It has a very coded feeling to it, probably given the actor’s age, and is almost a dance of seduction. The way he lingers over certain words, including the lengthy pause before “special” makes the average viewer want a shower.

 

 I also love the shot of Clark (who has nearly bled to death the night before) sleeping between his parents. And the red blanket and Martha’s blue one and Jonathan’s white shirt. Color is such an important part of this show.

The scenes at the Kwache burial grounds are one of the few times we see Lionel in strong natural lighting. He is a creature of the indoors, the office, the mansion. Even at Lex’s funeral, he it was an overcast day. The picture on the last row make me wibble. The way he fingers the leather on his wrists. This is surely not meant to be quite so suggestive, implying he is one of these men who hold so much control by day that he finds relief on rare occasion by giving it all up. 

And this is me being gratuitous. because Hot.

Too much analysis of 10 year old TV viewed as coded porn.




Anyway, Tumblr has me reviewing a bunch of old posts, everything from Halloween shots to a sexy muse photodump. This one just needed to be saved for the commentary.
