I think that bit from "Dimension Twist" that I posted in the Reevaluation thread that Mukiox reposted was what inspired this thread. My chief interest in the, er, suggestiveness was what it proved about Kim's and Ron's attitude toward each other going beyond friendship at the time. Let's face it, this is a show about teenagers, who as a normal part of human biology are highly aware of sexual issues. It would feel much less natural if there weren't any sexually suggestive moments. What there is is rather mild, and not exactly in your face. Well, okay, maybe a little in your face. These darn thin clothes just sometimes make a girl feel like crossing her arms. And of course, we've always liked this hug. Note Ron's hips. And this interesting looking frame: There are a few tricks they use to minimize Kim's sexuality, not that it's minimized much. We never see her (as a teenager) in a swimsuit, though other girls are so displayed: And usually when Kim has relatively intimate scenes with Ron (or Josh, or Erik), her middle's covered up by a longer shirt or a dress. Here's one exception: Usually with a bare middle we don't go beyond one hand on a shoulder. What's more interesting to me than just noting the show has some sexual undercurrents and a vocabulary of gestures is how these are used as part of the storytelling, which, however, is not the topic of this thread. Cloud, is there no end to your screen shot archive?

Cloudmonet is my favorite member of the board. He doesn't spam. And his posts are well thought out... informative... and good. No matter how long or how short his posts are, with screencaps or without... his posts are always welcome here.

I know cloudd no affesnse you post way to long of theards and nobody reads long theards You speak with a lot of authority for everybody. If there is a lot of information to be presented I have no problem with long posts. Therefore, someone does read long posts. Keep up the good work Cloud.

That wasn't really such a long post. It just had a lotta pictures.
Nightspade, there's at present I think 319 pictures in the "Kimages" folder on my website server, about 12 of them images I modified or created, the rest screencaps. On my own hard disk, there's 2975 screenshots that I took myself, and maybe a hundred taken by others. So you may be right.
Feel free to skip to the end of any of my posts if you're not reading something worth your while, but it's pretty silly to quote the whole thing over and over when it's sitting right there on the same page a few posts up.

I envy your "Kimages" folder. That's why I'm glad I have a USB so I can look at them over and over. but it's pretty silly to quote the whole thing over and over when it's sitting right there on the same page a few posts up. Good point, but that happens a lot.
