I Think You'll Find This One Even Softer.
So I suddenly and unexpectedly fell in crazy love with Derren Brown at around 3.00-4.30 in this clip. It really hit me at 4.16-4.24. Apparently my type is 'oxygen-deprived lunatics'. Good to know! (Seriously, the weak 'Do you feel anything?' The way he looks up at her? I - I don't know what's wrong with me. He's like a zombie after he takes the bag off his head. I'm not attracted to zombies. Am I attracted to zombies? I really, really hope that I am not attracted to zombies. And he has a plastic bag over his face and he's breathing slowly into it and it is incredibly unsettling to watch and yet it is also somehow - it's - stop bringing out these massively disturbing fetishes in me, Mr Brown.)
I've watched 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' and 'An Evening of Wonders' in the past couple of days, and there really is something disturbingly attractive and attractively disturbing about Derren Brown. He just hovers on the brink of being evil, whilst still being polite and charismatic. A bit like the Master without the genocide.
ANYWAY, NOW THAT I HAVE ALARMED YOU AND MYSELF, SOMETHING LESS DISTURBING.
I CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING LESS DISTURBING. Which is odd, because quite a lot is less disturbing than 'I am weirdly attracted to a rather creepy man who could probably get me to give up my purse just by asking for it nicely' (that link leads to a video on a site called 'StupidVideos', as the YouTube video does not appear to be available in the UK; if you live elsewhere and would prefer YouTube, try this link. It's only a couple of minutes long, and it's very interesting), but, no, nothing is coming to mind at the moment.
It's not weird until I start writing real-person fiction about him, right?
...right?

(Oh goddd Derren Brown. That glass walking act just FUCKS WITH MY MIND.)

EVER.
...I just attempted an experimental Google, and it turns out that Derren Brown RPF actually exists. There is Derren Brown/David Tennant out there.
Also, the more I think about it, the more I want the Winchesters to investigate this guy. BUT I'M NOT GOING TO WRITE IT.

OH YOU KNOW YOU WILL EVENTUALLY. PERHAPS THE STIG SAVES THE DAY. (Perhaps the Stig is Derren's mysterious boyfriend.)
Also, having watched a few of his clips, I've reached the conclusion that what I would really like is a J2 AU in which Jensen is the disturbingly attractive and verging on evil illusionist guy and Jared, for some reason, teaches him how to love. idk. Or maybe Jensen just steals his wallet and shoes.

I want you to write this.
BUT OH NO THEN I'D BE READING DERREN BROWN RPF.
ALMOST.

(shut up shut up I really want to write it now.)

(PLEASE DO. IT COULD BE SO WONDERFUL.)

Really deep down.
(The problem is, I would have to research the shit out of NLP etc were I to feel at all comfortable writing it. AND THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE YOU GIVE ME YOUR PURSE. (Which, I could probably already do, thinking about it. I did make you put a sock on your head, after all.))
no subject
(How is being able to acquire my purse a problem? ...from your perspective, I mean. It's not a very nice purse, admittedly, but still. (I would probably have ended up with that sock on my head whether you were in the room or not.))
(...I would rather you didn't steal my purse, by the way.)
no subject
(It is a problem because obviously I would become drunk on my power and possibly go on an illusionist rampage and eventually Torchwood would have to put me down. Ineptly.)
(IT'S TOO LATE NOW.)

It's possibly one of my favourite television moments ever. Apparently the internet agrees with me. :DD

There is Derren Brown/Richard Hammond out there. I have seen it. And it was actually pretty good... I'm not helping, am I?
I love Derren Brown; I always have, even though he scares the hell out of me. Clearly I am easily suggestible, and may have to be avoided if he ever does attempt world domination.

Speaking of Derren/Darren sort of names: DARREN HAYES.
