what is this i don't even

[sabinetzin]

This is my life:

I just said to myself, "But how would I get John into Gothic Lolita clothes?"

Flist, I turn to you for the answer.

I think he could really rock them.

Nope, nope. I consulted with my Future of Fandom, and she opined:

I'm really not sure of the answer, mostly because I can't imagine him pulling the look off. You can get him into the clothes, but he'll just kind of slouch there complaining that the petticoat itches while the bow slides slowly down the side of his head to rest under his chin.

IT'S TRUE. As she says:

I can't imagine him getting *enthusiastic* about it, and you really need to put some heart into it.

But we agree that young!Rodney (the one from Hewlett's goth phase) would *ROCK* it.

And even "now": if, say, Zelenka bet money, or there was a contest or something, he would go and Gothic Lolita everyone else into oblivion. As long as you block out the rant about how, seriously, everyone here is way too old for any style with "Lolita" in the name.

I feel like Rodney-on-a-dare almost doesn't even count. Because if it meant making Zelenka look bad, there is no limit to the things that Rodney would be the QUEEN ALMIGHTY of.

But I do agree that young!Rodney could rock the look. I'm not sure he could pull off the cute aspect, but he does insouciant well, and one sort of makes up for the other.

DRAMA Queen Almighty.

Hmm. There has to be a way to get John to care. Camo? They have to infiltrate a goth club on ladies' night?

I want a good excuse, because yeah, if you just randomly stuck him in it, he'd probably get that "why are you doing this to me" look my cat gives me some days. It'd be precious either way, though.
