discourse over shipping the two guys in the mariner’s revenge song by the decemberists but it focuses entirely on the fourteen year age gap and anytime anyone tries to bring up how that one guy fucked the other guy’s mom, gave her syphilis, and stole all her money, leading directly to her tragic death and the titular mariner’s lifelong quest for revenge, they seamlessly pivot into arguing over if actually the mom was in the wrong for fucking an eighteen year old

So I've been thinking about sex scenes a lot, for obvious reasons, and that had me thinking about John and Aeryn's physicality with each other. And a lot has been said about Ben and Claudia's chemistry, which is undeniable. Yet Ben actually brings a lot of sexual energy to scenes in Farscape in general. Just watch new reactors get uncomfortable during John/Chiana scenes or reference any of the other women he kisses and cuddles.

But there's something special about John/Aeryn and I think it shows up best right here in this little moment at the beginning of Infinite Possibilities Part I, Daedalus Demands.

I don't know who decided on the framing in this shot. I do know that these two, Ben especially, are very aware of camera angles and tended to be in frame, as much as possible, in an equal way. Side by side, or at least heads level, rarely one looming above or below the other, and Aeryn as likely to be higher as John. It wouldn't surprise me if they chose this, but if anyone has a script, let me know?

In general they give us unusual positioning versus how TV couples are often portrayed (the woman being enveloped by the man, or looking up to him, or being under him). But this particular setup, coded as post-coital, isn't one I can immediately recall being used in another show. It's almost spooning, but flipped, John was using her hip as a pillow while they talked right before this. (The preface is just so unbearably cozy and cute, teasing each other about him being crazy and it all being her fault.)

But then John gets frisky, and he doesn't move to kiss her, or grope her chest, or roll her under him (yet, if it hadn't been interrupted this would be a nice position to transition to '69' which is another thing I can't recall being hinted at outside of porn).

No he turns his head and kisses that hip--not a part of the body that usually gets comments in TV or real life. John, though, has paid it a lot of attention, given this little throwaway line from Unrealized Realities: "What you should really ask - is how I know you've got a birthmark on the sweet spot of your hip."

It's so charming, and so so sexy. The way she bites her lip as his mouth brushes the skin there makes it pretty damn clear that John goes down on her and is good enough at it to get her immediately interested.

And oh, how he loves to play with the edges of her clothing. This isn't the only time John's fingertips stray to that gap of bare midriff flesh the wardrobe team loves to give Aeryn. (It's to help keep her cool, can't risk Sebacean heat delirium, right?)

So of course John's finger starts to slip under the band of her panties and it's about to get going (again, these two are insatiable) and then the damn wormhole has to appear to distract him!

I've been trying to deconstruct why these two are so fucking hot so I can borrow a little of that for my stories. It's not just "chemistry". It's the little details that we haven't seen a thousand times before, making them feel like real people who enjoy each other's bodies, rather than actors performing for the camera.

They are actors, of course! Just friends, despite what RPF stories might like to fantasize about. But they clearly trust each other enough to slip into a physical connection that is amazingly natural. It's fun to watch and I hope you didn't mind my indulging myself a bit on this one.
