Reactions and Reviews
Yet another I can't believe I haven't recced this yet yadda yadda yadda.I mean, it has everything! Blair, exuberant bi slut bomb of academia and derring-do!
Jim, cranky softie who licks stuff! And is cranky! But a softie!
And beer! Lots and lots of BEER!
Really, what more do you need? [1]
Lots of banter; light angst; drunk Jim and Blair.Blair is dating Leslie Conkle (from the ep Most Wanted) and Jim is faced with the realization that Blair will eventually leave; if not with Leslie then with some other nice woman. Meanwhile, Blair is trying to figure out how to nicely break up with Leslie, since he’s never fully comfortable when he’s not at home (the loft/with Jim).
There’s a diversion that takes both their minds off their troubles: Blair has found an ancient Egyptian recipe that might allow him to experience what it’s like to be a sentinel. Fortunately, it’s not some disgusting kelp shake or bizarre concoction from the Temple of the Sentinels; it’s beer. Sacred beer. Enjoy. [2]
You know how some people will say" Don't be mad at me, I was drunk when I said it. I didn't mean it." My Dad always said , "People say what they really mean when they are drunk." I think Blair and Jim proved that. I agree with a previous commenter. I think the ritual worked. Hidden thoughts and feelings came out of hiding. And, it got Jim and Blair into the same bed. Blair enjoyed pulling everything together, food , flowers ,insence etc. I think it was all just window dressing for a super duper charged beer. Must have had raging hangovers. Small price to pay.. Super story and your time spent hitting the books for authenticity paid off. Thanks for a great and fun story. The ritual part was so Blair. Don't you just love them???[3]
