In which it's tough being an objectivised lust muffin, trust me

[kylezy]

I'll find myself setting out to do a scene and it'll be a scene where I'm just having a chat with Merlin, and then one of the script editors will come down and say, "We've had a message from production: Bradley's going to do this scene with his top off."

I can understand that part of the show. It's something that is kind of inevitable in the role that I play in the show. It's not something where I go, "Oh great, a chance to get my top off," but at the same time, I'm not naive enough to think that it's not something that people look for in the show.

"I've been pushing a truck."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't even know why that's so fucking funny..
aww, I need a Bradley icon. =//

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

How do you not have at least one? Don't let Bradley's objectivity be for nothing!

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

i've run out of icon space! =/ but i guess i don't need six grrrls ones..=x why don't you choose one for me? pwetty pwease.

Choose a Bradley icon? Oh man, now that's pressure. I'll try, but I'll have to do some serious research. You're firmly in the anti-beard camp, right? Would you prefer Bradley or Arthur? Oooh, okay, what about the sexy one, from that shoot (see: my icon)? You can't go wrong with that. Y/N?

[vinca15.livejournal.com]

I'm OK with either Bradley or Arthur..and I would enjoy this icon except everyone has it! ya know? I want to have a special~ B/A one.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

OK, I will devote time to this.

Oh gosh. He's so earnest and disillusioned about it that I just feel guilty about enjoying it. Dammit Bradley.

This is why we should just include sex scenes that are relevant to character development, so that we can enjoy the toplessness and not feel TOO guilty about it. *nods*

*lesigh* Will we have to write in to the BBC to ask them to please be nicer to Bradley and let him keep his shirt on more often? Even if we really don't want to? Just to show solidarity?

I just hope they're paying the poor boy well *facepalm*

Wut? He's not supposed to figure that out. Just sit there and look pretty, Bradley.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]
