And then we try to show this beauty, and alas, Lasair comes and scribbles with the Enormous Red Pen all over it.
Artists surely do suffer for their work! (And why am I now imagining UL!Draco dealing similarly with the red quill of his Creative Magic professor...)
But anyway, yes yes! It's almost like you cross this line or break some spell and suddenly you can't talk about the Great Love anymore or the Great Alexander without it being the Great Gay Love and Alexander the Gay.
Incidentally, totally OT, but there have been all these ads around here for this upcoming show on Alexander the Great and they all say stuff like, "They didn't call him Alexander the Spineless," or "They Didn't Call Him Alexander The Timid." It drives me crazy because obviously it should be more like, "They didn't Call Him Alexander The Not-So-Bad," or "They Didn't Call Him Alexander The Average." Such a waste! And this seemed like the only possible time I'd ever get to say that to anyone on lj so I've said it here.:-)
