Mmmm, yes. Non-con + eye contact = pushing all l!Stephen's buttons. Good ones as well as bad.
I imagine he's messy, but not in a grungy/smelly way. His style on the show was very professorial, with the nice tweed suit and the pipe, so his house could similarly be piled with books and papers. (Also, concert memorabilia, a guitar and its accessories, drug paraphernelia, and "ethnic" merchandise. And sex toys!) And I figure he smells like whatever not-necessarily-legal substance he's been smoking in that pipe and/or burning around the office lately.
His hair I would imagine is only nice on the show becaue his stylists insist, but after he starts Domming Jon it starts being nice on his off days too, because he starts making Jon brush it :3
This Stephen has a complicated kind of attitude of "I won't judge you for this, because judging other people is bad, but if I did the same thing I would be a horrible person." On a given sex-related issue, it's sort of random whether his position is "this is normal and not shameful and everyone should be fine and open about it" (polyamory, at least with Lorraine), and "some women say this is degrading and sexist, therefore it is not my place to disagree with them" (BDSM; being gay rather than bi).
Mentioning yaoi makes me think about whether the fantasy Stephen's getting off on is "Jon doesn't want this, but I'm forcing him anyway" or "Jon doesn't know he wants it, but I'll teach him to like it by the end." He might go for either.
Here's the basic cuddle pose (with Jon on the side of Stephen's good ear, and Stephen sitting up a little more):
I didn't think canon was more unsettling than any of the other "battles" they've had (the Late Night Fight, for instance).
Jon's existing millions at least came from working, even if he thinks he's grossly overpaid. This million was just handed to him, for nothing, with no strings attached. Plus there's the overarching satirical point that SuperPACs are mystical uncontrolled entities that cloud men's minds and drive them mad :3
I have no idea how l!Stephen came by his SuperPAC ^_^; Raising money probably involved a ton of "This is completely voluntary, we're not asking you for anything, and we're certainly not going to give special benefits to people who pay more, but if you happen to want to make this choice, here's the address...."
