*snort* Really, Show?

So. The Merlin promo people have apparently been holding back the goods to give to the American audiences, but the latest batch of pictures have me side-eyeing that photographer so hard! I know I couldn't have been the only one who thought this when they saw them.

I've actually been wanting to make one of these spoofs for a while, so I suppose I should be thanking them for the opportunity lol.

I mean, really. What were they thinking?

In other news, I had entirely too much fun looking up inspiration for the titles.

LOL

Those pics are... is there even a word? I just keep thinking Bradley looks like he has THE MOST EPIC HANGOVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING, and Angel's all 'if you barf on me I'll kill you'.

[batgurl88]

lol I think my favourite has to be either the one where Bradley looks like he's about to cop a feel from behind or the one where he's about to fall over and Angel's trying desperately to keep him standing so they can finish the damn shoot.

Seriously. "Romance" - you're doing it wrong. xD

I like the one where they're going in for the kiss and Bradley looks bored to the point he might actually fall asleep on her face. They're all SO BAD. I don't know how it happened. I feel bad for laughing... but I can't help it, lol.

TROLOLOLOL OMG. I was looking at those and thinking, Bradley looks really pissed off.

[batgurl88]

xD He does, rather. And I swear they're both trying not to laugh in a few of them lol.

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

They look so ridiculous. I just. I hate them. Not because its Gwen and Arthur (though a little) but because they just look so uncomfortable.

[ladybracknell.livejournal.com]

Exactly. It's like if you look up the definition of 'awkward' in the dictionary, it's just a link to those pics.

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

I just. I STILL CANNOT FORM PROPER WORDS TO DESCRIBE THESE PICTURES.

[ladybracknell.livejournal.com]

THERE ARE NO WORDS. The fact that they make so much more sense on a romance novel cover says it all, really. Maybe Bradley used up his yearly quota of heart eyes on Colin before these were taken, IDK.

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

THIS. JUST.

THIS.

Is it bad I keep hearing violins every time I see those pics? Plus, the fact that Angel is in pink is somewhat hilarious.
Photographer, I'm judging you so hard rn.

[batgurl88]

lol I do too. Really, it's like the photographer's never really seen romantic pictures before - they've just read things like "staring into each other's eyes" and "arms wrapped around each other" and didn't quite know how to execute it.

But on the upside, they had me laughing for quite a few minutes. xD

Erm. Bradley, just a tip, I know it's not Merlin/Colin, but try not to look like you're being held at gunpoint in this. =)))

P.S. The Long Hard Ride? Sounds like a bad medieval themed porno ahahaha! Oh you &hearts

ONLY SHE COULD FIND THE SHEATH! OMG LOL-ING SO HARD. =))

[batgurl88]

lol Both of their faces are just randomly "I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do here". I kind of feel bad for them - this must have been a really awkward shoot.

P.S. The Long Hard Ride? Sounds like a bad medieval themed porno ahahaha!

That's exactly what it should be! xD I imagined it's actually a very popular Merlin/Gwaine book (complete with a picture of Gwaine in a kilt on the cover, because that seems to be some sort of rule for these books. idek).

lol I looked at so many cracky romance novel covers for this - treasures like 'In the Australian Billionaire's Arms', 'Taken by the Wicked Rake', and 'Forbidden or For Bedding?'. I'm kind of jealous of these authors' talents for hilariously bad titles.
