Alright, so the first time that I saw William Beckett and Gabe Saporta was a little over a month ago when a good friend of mine sent me the Bring It! (Snakes on a Plane) music video...I had no idea who those guys were, or even that they weren't in the same band, but my SLASHCENSOR went...BALLISTIC. I mean can I really be blamed? It was mild insanity...two gorgeous young men...and if you watch the video, it's there...it is! I'm not making it up...at least I don't think that I'm making it up...at any rate, I emailed my friend and was like...DUDE! SLASH! and she was like Who? and I was like...uh...I do'nt know their names...crap...the guy with the amazing jeans and the dude with the scarf! And she told me not only that their names were William Beckett (amazing jeans) and Gabe Saporta (dude with scarf) but that they were singers in The Academy Is... and Cobra Starship respectively...and that they were slashed together CONSTANTLY...so naturally, I had to know more...And that led to this:
and this...
and this...
and this...
and this...
and finally this...
Wow, how many ways can you say GABILLIAM!: SCREW YOUR OTP! MINE DOESN'T NEED PHOTOSHOP BITCH! After reading in to it a fair but more, I learned that it is common for them to get drunk and get a little...touchy feely, hence the eating chocolate off of each other's bodies and making out...
This new obsession led to finding some videos...most of which were fan made wishes for the two to be together, but one that I found and another that the same friend sent be depicted Gabe kissing William on the cheek one TWO separate occasions at two separate concerts...can you say SHIP SHIP SHIP?! Because I sure can...
Oh...and did I mention the nicknames that they have for each other? Yeah...that's right, NICKNAMES! SHIP! Gabe calls William Bilvy and William calls Gabe Gabanti...how slashy is that? Shut up! I know you have nick names for your friends...I do too, and I'm not in love with them...but, and call me sexist, fuck you, I think that's more of a girl thing, I mean I don't know any guys who have nicknames for their guy pals...yeah, that's what I thought.
In a final note, let me just say...GABE SAPORTA LOVES Slash fanfiction! I KID YOU NOT! In an interview with OUT magazine, he declared that he likes/supports slash fanfiction, and he thinks it's hot.
GABE AND WILLIAM - BECAUSE THEY MAKE IT REAL!
