Dom, a fandom unto himself.
As anyone in the LotR fandom (and most people outside of it) know, Dom always brings the good wank.

In the domgasm LJ community, taysbluethong posts some pictures of Dom and the marks on his hands that have caused so much speculation, infighting and well, wank in the fandom.

Conclusion: They're burns. They can't be anything else. Or maybe I'm over-reaching. But this is pretty convinicing to me. Tell me what you think.

Oh such an innocent question ;) Oh joy!

no offense but i think its none of our business, the same goes with who he is dating or fucking. i'm getting really tired of everyone making it their business.

i for one, care about him as a person, not just as an acting entity. whether its my business or not, doesnt mean i dont have the right to be concerned.

well if he is self inflicting he should know better and he has the money to get help, so i'm not gonna waste my time worrying

After some more wank, speculation on burning, self-mutiliation, actor privacy, his sexuality etc. taysbluethong responds to the community reaction.

I just pointed it out! I don't care what conclusion people come to.

Finally, the community moderators later decide to put a lid on it:

From now on all eight of your moderators are going to start buckling down on set 'rules' and what posts we will and will not accept. And so now we come to the trigger for my bitching: the comments and numerous posts about the marks on Dom's wrists. Let's just be clear and state this plainly and simply: We don't want to see anymore on the subject.


But it was just getting interesting!

absinthfire: Can I ask a question? And by no means do I mean this as snarky!

Do you mean you don't want any more of the annoying posts about the marks or no more talk of it altogether?


melloniel: Not snarky at all, darling. :) Just no more talk/wondering about the marks at all.

The only wrist marks we want to hear about are the handcuff kind. >:D


BWAH!

I know! Not that I'm against that mental image because, hmmm.

But talk about Dom being into kinky bondage is OK, just as long you don't talk bout the nasty self-mutiliation. What's the difference? I know she's talking about fanfiction, at least I hope she is, but still.

Christ, people will over-analyze ANYTHING. How the hell is anyone supposed to be able to tell from those pictures what the marks are? I mean for all they know he shut his hand in a car door or something.

(But NO! Dom's model of car does not have a locking device that could possibly create a mark of that exact diameter!)

If you worry about his health in a way that cuts into your happiness or life, you need to get out of fandom . I mean, I'm fuckin' obsessed with Billy and Dom and I couldn't give a flying fuck if he's depressed or not. Billy or Dom. I think I would be sad if they died(And I couldn't lust for'em), and I hope the best for them just as any other human on the planet But if you're that fucking sensitive... And by the by. It's a TINY itty bitty scab. It's not like he's got slit marks on his wrists...

Oh, you could, anonymouse. And it would probably be as fruitful as lusting after them when they were alive. Take it from those of us who fawn over fictional characters -- not even death or nonexistance can stop lust!

Well, the possibility of intentional self-burning is a little bit paranoid there. But think of all the things one could do to accidentally burn oneself. Trying to light the BBQ, playing with matchbooks, trying to put out fires in the microwave bare-handed, not knowing that there's a hole in the oven mitts until it's too late...

Uh, anyway. Accidents happen like that, even to beautiful rich people. Like me.

Those don't even look like burn marks to me. Hell, I had similar looking marks once after an incident involving a pair of handcuffs and some sex, to be honest. But that would never occur to these kids? I'd guess that the leather on one of his wrist cuffs was rough and rubbed away at the skin. Pfft. Anyway, I wouldn't even have noticed if those kids hadn't pointed it out. I'm more distracted by Dom's intense gaiety in the fourth picture in the OP.

but those "burn marks" are so faint that they are practically invisible. I sat there staring at those screen caps, straining my eyes to find anything that could possibly be mistaken for a burn. I saw one smallish scab...and a couple of darker parts that look more like shadow to me. Am I missing something?

"Neither of the cuffs he wears has the distinctive clasp marks. They're either tie-on cuff, a two button clasp or a watch-band-like clasp. Not an upside down triangle or a one button clasp."

Away, step away from the computer. Wank about little red injuries on his wrist? I know he's fond of eyeliner, but until he starts scratching Cure lyrics into his arm with a blunt spoon, chill the fuck out.



And not to mention, it's not like he couldn't have bought a new cuff! Although, I recall seeing these pictures in numerous sets, days apart, so wouldn't regular bruises or whatever fade? Not that I care! Or anything. Please to be stalking for great yay.

The dark patch on his right arm looks like an ordinary bruise to me. A pretty good one, but it's just a bruise. Like he hit it on the corner of a table or something. My mum usually has at least one of those somewhere, she tends to run into things.

The others do look kind of like cigarette burns, but judging by that second picture they're healing nicely. I think she's getting a bit overexcited when she says it's spreading all over his entire body OMG. That's not a burn. It's a bruise. It's green, if your burn is green you have a real problem.

I seriously think some of these girls want Dom to be a self-injurer. I mean, I wouldn't have even noticed those marks (in the first three caps) unless I was looking for them. Next thing ya know, there'll be Photoshopped self-injury, Crystal Gamgee-style!

I thought most self-injurers were pretty careful to hide the marks (all the ones I've been in contact with anyway). But no, it suits the fangirls to think that he is filled with OMG! ANgsT! than he's either kinky or clumsy.

Obviously those marks happened when he was abducted by The Aliens and was struggling during The Anal Probe. These fan girls know nothing. Pffft.

It may be amusing, but for someone running the community, we have to look out for content. Our worst fear is for it to turn into another mindless community with 'omgwtfbbq!!1 DOM IZHAWT!'.

Did it occur to any of these ninnies that it could be a birthmark? They do come in red, you know. They're called "strawberry" marks.

Or it could be a nasty bug bite. Or maybe he leaned his wrist against a hot light bulb (done it myself - OW), or scraped it on something rough, or...

Did anyone actually think that he might be into bdsm? And not just for the slashy purposes? As in, he wears bracelets (cuffs, whatever.) to cover up the chafing he might get from being tied up, just as someone might cover up a hickey with a scarf? He could be scared about letting something like that being known to the public. People's careers can be overturned when others learn that they like non-normative (bedroom) activities.

I don't mean to continue the wank, but i wanted to make sure that people saw bdsm as something that doesn't just happen in writing.
