spencer smith, smooth as a baby's behind...*cough*

[words_unravel]

anyway, sceaterian asked me to do a picspam on a certain item of clothing (which i aim to do!) but she also linked me to a vid of the Rolling Stone shoot that Panic did last year. i had the other vid, the one where spencer cracks everybody's ass up with the awesome hooker story, but i had not seen this one which basically follows them as they go about the actual photoshoot.

this vid is notable, not only for the adorableness of jon walker pouting, brendon's evil muppet face, and ryan deciding whether he likes a little bang in the face or fully swept back, BUT ALSO FOR THIS:




FAIL, FLIST, FAAAAAIL.

not really, ilu guys.

I love how Ryan totally refuses to jump at the end. And I totally want to write fic about how they're always being plucked and prodded and made up and sometimes Spencer just wants to be able to put his own eyeliner on. Or pick out his own ugly suit.

FEEL FREE TO WRITE THAT. >_>

It's not that Spencer minds, actually. It's just. Sometimes he gets tired of people touching him, stepping up into his space and claiming him for their own. They'll mark him in dark tones, black eyeliner and dark blue eyeshadow.

Sometimes it's just a little too much.

Not enough privacy when he's changing, not enough time to get from one room to the other without assistance. Not enough space to breathe.

He's constantly being touched. The soft skin of the photographer's assistant brushing against his. The rough feel of unwashed fabric rubbing over his shoulders, sides.

Late at night, Ryan breathing quietly in the bed next to him, Spencer tries to take deep breaths. Counts to one hundred, two hundred, three hundred.

It doesn't seem like it'll ever enough.

Not when Jon's hugs make him stiff and desperate to pull away, when Brendon's fingers against the back of his neck make him breathe a little too hard, when Ryan's hand on his arm isn't reassuring anymore.

Spencer just wants to be able to breathe again.
