tea is the new torte.

[semisweet]

i will never admit how long i actually spent on this. if you're on dial-up, be afraid. (i'll post the actual ep in a minute in a locked entry.)

the o.c. 4x05 - the sleeping beauty.



so here we have seth and ryan.


ryan can't sleep. seth...can.


the next morning, taylor just happens to be in the neighborhood.


so she offers to bring ryan his coffee.




then, she looks like this. (easy girl!)


because ryan looks like this.






and so she's at his command. anything he wants. ANYTHING.




ryan wants his shirt.


"zomg ryan is sooooo funny!"




"she said ryan was funny." *snicker*


later, at seth's work, taylor has a shocking confession!


"IT'S NOT MY FAULT I FALL IN LOVE WITH EVERYBODY."


"find out if he likes me, pleeeeeeeeeeeease?!"


so ryan's like "hello."


and seth's like "hey, how about a new girlfriend?"


and ryan's like "huh?"


and seth's like "hey, nothing. didn't say anything."


taylor is filled with defeat.


until the lightbulb of fake sleep therapy pops into her head!


3:02. poolhouse. ryan's reading -- and his phone rings.


"RYAN, YOU POOR THING. I LOVE YOU, LET ME SEDUCE YOU!!!"


"i am mildly annoyed, but ok. and by 'seduce' you mean 'help me sleep, right?'"


\o/




"eeee!"


"ugh."


ryan wants to die.


taylor is trying not to die.






ryan is skeptical.




taylor, on the other hand, is just spitballing.




spitballing, it seems, with remarkable precision!






taylor sends ryan on his way.


and then flails a bit.






nothing to see here!




:D :D :D






"they call it win-win for a reason, SETH." respect the ryan/taylor, dude!




ryan becomes suspicious. or maybe he's just brooding?


that night, back in the poolhouse, ryan finds...


our heroine, taylor townsend!


she's ready!


ryan is once again skeptical, this time about her (very cute) sheep jammies.


taylor defends her pjs.


"you don't like me, do you?"


eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.


"of course i like you, buddy! pal! *punch on the shoulder*"


*gestures of like liking*


"of course not!"


"ok."


"ok, how about i rub you now?"


"oh boy."


"oh yeah."


in the morning, it is awkward.


seth is disapproving.


taylor is cute and kind of desperate.


ryan is on to taylor, it seems.












taylor ponders exactly how much life can suck at any given moment.


conclusion: a lot.


roberts-cooper-townsend mansion of woe.


emo taylor.


cutest ever alert! in 5...4...3...2...1.


taylor is thrilled that SOMEBODY appreciates her hot ass.


HOTNESS ALERT!




that's right, atwood! rawr! say it!






ryan, the shocking non-dancer.




*vamps*


*follows all zombielike*




taylor is happpppppppy.




joking!ryan. (don't tell anyone.)


"i'm not going to date taylor."








damn. now she might tell people about my joke.








"i must be crazy."


"you're not crazy."


"oh really? here's all the secret things about you that prove why i'm crazy."


"HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?"


because she hearts you, dummy! not all girls are as pointless as marissa, thank god.


"i don't wanna do that. i wanna be MORE than that." (tm jim halpert!)


oops.


*is so over this*






taylor's giving up...


but the jedi master uses the force...


so while ryan's in the poolhouse...


guess who shows up?!




taylor is conflicted.


ryan thinks she's amazing. (!!!)


(which she is.)






"uh, didn't we kiss already?"


"didn't count! let's go again!"


*concedes*


*wins forever*


OK, SHHHHHHHHHHHH. NO TALKING. JUST ADMIRE THE PRETTY.

























ryan looks...impressed, confused, and like he's thinking about brooding soon.




taylor does not think this is good.








*is all swoony*


"whoa." (squee!)


and finally, the non-sleeping beauty gets his sleep.


all it took was a kiss from the princess.


the end. ♥


when taylor asks ryan to dance:


the song they dance to:

(thanks to belle_1220 for this!)

the end of the episode:


i made all of the caps -- feel free to do whatever you'd like with them. just don't hotlink.

Comments

I love them so much it's beginning to veer from fangirly into pathetic. I CANNOT wait for all the Tawny Kitaen-ness next week!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i know, next week looks hilarious! and it makes so much sense to me that ryan's sexy fantasies are 80's style, since pretty much the only thing i know that he likes is journey. :P

[tickled-pink258.livejournal.com]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

This made me squeeeeee massivley.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

yay! it made me squee, too. lol.

[obv-hot-mess.livejournal.com]

THIS IS AWESOME. Awesome.

And seriously, he finally has a reason to wake up in the morning. I can't wait to see how this all develops. The OC has stolen my heart again. I'm not even surprised anymore.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

glad you enjoyed! and yeah, i'm really excited for future o.c.-y goodness. it's just gotten so damn AWESOME.

[star-material.livejournal.com]

OMYGOD I HEART YOU SO MUCH IN THIS MOMENT THAT I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SIT STILL AND NOT SQUEAL WITH JOY HERE IN MY CUBICLE!!!!!!!!

Seriously though - not only are you offering a .zip file of the show (which I can totally dled here in the office and watch all the time while I should be working) but ALSO you picspam all the joy into my life.

I don't care how long that took you - don't ever be ashamed as you spread the R&T love and put a HUGE grin on my face.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

aw, i'm so happy to bring a bit of extra squee into your life! i just am kind of mortified by how much time i spent capping and uploading and everything, lol. but i just can't contain myself -- they are so so pretty!

[neonbliss.livejournal.com]

1) Your header wins at life, therefore you win at life. Logan + baseball bat + police cruiser = OT3. :D
2) Your pic!spam is awesome, and I love your comments. May I link to it in my journal? I was gonna do my own review/ pic!spam, but you've done it so much better and I think more people should be exposed to the pretty.
3)Thanks so much for the songs! Downloaded them and listening to them happily! :)

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

1) thank you! and i agree, that is clearly the ot3. i missed my beautiful OPJ!
2) i'm glad you dug it! and you're more than welcome to link it. i'm always happy to spread the love.
3)you're welcome. :)

[belle-1220.livejournal.com]

I just finished watching the episode and I found this. *dies*

The song they danced to was "While You Were Sleeping" by Elvis Perkins!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

yay, thank you! i was hoping someone would know.

i know i don't actually know you so this is ballsy, but do you happen to have it and want to upload it? :D

[whatever-we-are.livejournal.com]

Here via taylor_ryan and as mod, I think I am well within my rights to say...

... DUDE. I think I love you.

*stares at the pretty and flails like Taylor*

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

even if you were not a mod (although that kicks ass), you would definitely be within your rights! i'm never one to turn down the love! :P

*flails alongside you*

[carson-leigh.livejournal.com]

Awesome picspam. I am so in love with Ryan/Taylor it's not even funny. They make me squee like a twelve year old.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee! me too, hence the ridiculously lengthy picspam. i love them!

[buffyx.livejournal.com]

Your picspam has killed me dead. In the best way possible, obvs.

See the icon? MADE FROM YOUR AWESOME CAPS. THANK YOU.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

*revives you long enough to express major icon approval!*

i LOVE that cap of taylor from the back and i love that you used it. and just...so much with the fabulous.

[chosen5x5.livejournal.com]

Just chiming in with a big AND HOW to all these comments & squees - this picspam was fabulous! And this ship OWNS ME.

Thanks so much for the songs!! I'm adding them to buffyx's "really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree" mix! :D

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

aw, glad you enjoyed it! and good call on the mix -- i think i'm going to be forced to start an r/t playlist. woe. ;)

Episode?

[karah5406.livejournal.com]

hey! I was wondering about if I could be added as a friend! I am loving the O.C. this season! I am LOVING Ryan/Taylor! LOVING THEM! I squee'ed so many times last episode! But my dad deleted it from my tivo, and I was wondering if you knew where I could find a link to download the episode? I just remembered that you had the link for 4x04 and was wondering if you knew where to find 4X05? Anyway, I love your webpage, and that capping must have taken forever! It's so pretty though! And you said basically everything I was thinking during the episode. Thanks for your time!

Re: Episode?

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hey sweetie, i'll add you right now. and lol -- i spent a ridiculous amount of time capping. but they're so PRETTY! anyway, i posted the ep earlier, so just check for it once i add you. :)

[girlintheattic.livejournal.com]

I feel a bit cheeky asking this but I was sent this way by star_material who mentioned you had uploaded the episode, and as there is no torrent about I have friended you and was wondering if you would add me back? We certainly have the Ryan/Taylor love in common! Feel free to say no if you like to keep your journal private - I hate to impose and I wouldn't be in the least offended, I just thought I'd ask as I'm pretty desperate!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

well, it just so happens that i enjoy cheeky behavior. ;) i'll add you now. i posted the ep yesterday in its own entry, so grab away!

[ramwitz.livejournal.com]

May I just say that I am so incredibly thrilled you changed your layout?! I've been rocking back and forth in a corner all this time devasted by the fact that I couldn't load this very picspam, but then *poof*, like magic, you change your layout and here it is in all it's glorious beauty!!! *flails* I heart you!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

ok, so i'm totally slow to respond, but yay! i'm glad you finally got to see all the pretty townwood goodness! as much as i like having the customized comment pages, it's not worth it if no one can read my entries, lol.

[lyzieeex.livejournal.com]

wow +ing to memories.
BEST POST EVER. ♥

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

aw, i'm glad you liked it! :)

[nowwrite.livejournal.com]

You are the best! You always post the things I heart the most. Thanks for taking the time. You rock!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

no, YOU rock! ok, i rock a little. ;)

[renata-mcm.livejournal.com]

This is HILARIOUS!!! Keep posting, please!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

oh, i'll be flailing on a pretty regular basis. :)

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I, um. Emphatically do NOT watch this show, but, uh. I may want to see this episode.

However, it will probably not even be half as awesome without your captions, which are hilarious and gleeful :D

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

oh man, you should concede and give it a shot. i'm not theoretically someone who would watch the o.c., but it's UTTERLY gleeful. and tonight's episode was even better.

i think you should consider it. it's SO MUCH FUN! and there is PRETTY!

[impik.livejournal.com]

This was terrific. Well done.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

thanks! :D

[foreverhaunted.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say how much I loved this post. I'm just getting back into The OC love right now, and I found this through taylor_ryan.

Also, major kudos for the Jim Halpert reference. Although let's hope this relationship is less rocky than it has been for my poor Jim and Pam.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

finally someone remarks on my jim quote! and yeah, here's hoping things with ryan and taylor are a little lighter and happier than what jim/pam have had going on.

glad you enjoyed my spammage! :D

[robanybody.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to let you know that I downloaded one of the caps and made an icon of it. I've credited you in my userinfo, but if it's not all right with you, just let me know, and I won't use the icon.

Also, these two are getting me into The O.C. for the first time ever. Thank you for the picspam. :)

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

this is a slow repsonse, sorry, but it's absolutely fine if you want to use my caps for whatever. knock yourself out!

and you're welcome for the picspam! welcome to the o.c., bitch! (i'm quoting season 1, and not actually calling you a bitch, in case you hadn't heard that line. hee.)

[platysseus.livejournal.com]

*claps like smitten Taylor* SQUEE!

Awesome picspam! I think I'll also be linking this elsewhere. :D

And thanks for the music files! I've been looking for them everywhere.

I just adore Ryan/Taylor... it's so odd. I've never been so in love with a TV couple before. And they're not even official yet. *lol*

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

you're welcome! i'm always happy to spread the love. they're adorable.

[zeft.livejournal.com]

Thank you so damn much. I have been trying to find that Elvis Perkins song since forever. (Forever being since the episode aired.)

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

you are so damn welcome! XD

[beabeabea.livejournal.com]

SQUEEEE!!!

This is so incredibly awesome! I don't know you, but you rock for taking the time to do this and share it with us for universal squeeage!

Thanks also for the music!

Can I friend you for mutal Taylor/Ryan fangirl squeeing? (I'm about more than that, promise, but I'm in need of lots of distractions at the moment...

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee, i'm glad you liked it. and you're welcome!

and the friending is done already, so yeah. ;)

[masio.livejournal.com]

You are sooo awesome, and I laughed so hard at 'damn. now she might tell people about my joke.'
:)))

[adri278.livejournal.com]

I love these!! Love the eeeeeeeep cap and the More than that mention. Yay!
