OKAY!


Anyone who has friended this journal, I've already friended at my new, shiny, CDJ stephen_fry. If you'd like to add me over there, you can! I'll be phasing this one out slowly

:)

....I take no shame in the fact that this photo has now inspired me to write incest fanfiction. To hell with all of you.

athousandnames just got me stephen_fry for my birthday.


This delights me.




The war is on, Stephen. The war is on.

No, I'm not wanking about some RP I'm in or the players, so if you've stopped in for drama of that sort, please move along. No, I've got another kind of angst to blog about. I've read somewhere that blogging about your day to day experience can actually help you---actually no, that was in A Study in Pink, but damned if I care.

First, if I've recently neglected to tag you, and I owe you tags, you have all my utmost apologies, but I've been grappling with my own abilities to write lately, and it's all the fault of that man there, in my icon.

No, not Hugh Laurie, though I might as well throw him under the bus as well. No:

Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry; Cambridge scholar, actor, writer, comedian, youngest ever inductee of the Sherlock Holmes Society, (EDITS: an ex-convict, and as thelastenemy pointed out, hot-in-that-British-professor-way) arguably the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde, and the bane of my existence.

And why do I hate him? Because I love him. Because he is everything that I would love to be and never can be. He writes better than I do, he's smarter than I am, far more entertaining, immeasurably more talented, Mycroft fucking Holmes, and brilliant. He's brilliant.

I'm listening to his audiobook for The Fry Chronicals and his command of the English language, the way he can turn the most boring of subjects into something of interest, the way he engages the listener in such a way that you feel like this is a conversation and not a man reciting his book--all of it fills me with the kind of envy that I'm sure to go to the ninth circle of Hell for. So many of my heroes I look up to, I admire, I wish to emulate, I use their influence in my drabbles and my fictions but Stephen Fry leaves me filled with utter rage and self-disappointment.


I hate you Stephen Fry, and I hate you because I could never, ever be you.

Never change.

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH IS THE VOICE OF SMAUG







....Bilbo/Smaug OTP?

YES I THINK SO.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to the page 91.
3. Find the third sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-10 sentences along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

If you're interested, let me know, and I'll tell you who to ask for!

So last time I posted this a few people got drawing out of me but not everyone because...dude, I'm drawing stuff! I'm not a machine ;_;

HOWEVER, as it was-- I've been bitten by the bug, and this time I'm leaving it pretty open ended.

Give me something to draw. If I like the idea, and can do it? I will

Be creative, but don't make it too complicated, I'd love fandom characters, original characters, anything. Tell me if there are colours you want, particular clothing, environment....Rating >.>

Can be something with one of my characters, can be not--I don't care. I'm bored and I need to draw something so I have an excuse to chew on a pencil.

GO!

Solemnly Sworn A Dark Marauder Era RPG 1979 ... No one is safe. Frequent attacks and disappearances have rippled through the Wizarding World with no clear connection or reason. Scholars, children and Ministry officials are being picked off at random leaving fear in the wake of destruction and death as Lord Voldemort ascends to power. The Ministry is hard pressed to end the struggle as Death-Eaters watch their every internal move so closely that resistance is nearly futile. The world is dividing, and there is little way of escaping it as loyalties shift beneath the feet of the innocent. But life goes on amidst the atrocities; people fall in love, get married and try to adapt to a world of war. In the shadows there are some who would fight back. The Order of the Phoenix is hardly more than a fleeting thought of revolution, but as Death-Eaters gain influence amongst the fragile minds within the community, citizens have begun taking the fight into their own hands. Which side will you choose, and who will succeed?

Solemnly Sworn finds the Wizarding world in the midst of a progressing war, following a canon time-line up until the summer of 1979 at which point the game diverges into an AU mod-run storyline and player-generated plot. We are an open, friendly community with devoted moderators seeking an easy going atmosphere with emphasis on character development and interaction. NOW OPEN!! Currently seeking: Caradoc Dearborn ~ Cornelius Fudge ~ Fenrir Greyback ~ Rubeus Hagrid ~ Igor Karkaroff ~ Rodolphus Lestrange ~ Bellatrix Lestrange ~ Fabian Prewett ~ Gideon Prewett ~ Ted Tonks ~ Andromeda Tonks ~ Arthur Weasley ~ Molly Weasley ~ and any students, Death-Eaters and Order Members

Questions for me from athousandnames

1) Why does the Doctor seem to blame Jack for something he didn't choose? (And at this point, didn't know about.)

Well, for one the Doctor doesn't blame Jack so much as he just can't bring himself to blame Rose. She acted to save people and that's something he can't not appreciate. He just doesn't like the fact that Jack is wrong, he shouldn't exist and he always worries that that is going to cause more problems.

That and he just really doesn't like him.

2) What would it take for Lysander to sell out Talbot?

Lysander has one rule, and one rule only: Not his brother, not his mother. If either were ever compromised in any way, it would be curtains for Ian.


3) What would Sherlock do if John left?





4) Why does James still pick on Severus when he's essentially won?

To be honest with you, I don't think he would in the canon of the stories. I don't think he'd have anything to do with him ever. In LW he did it because he had access to those journal things which don't exist in Harry Potter, and then, right, he learned that Snape got him killed so it was the least he could do.

I think the only reason James bothers with him is because, in the context of the game, he's still a presence in his life via journals--and if he's around, he just...needs to be put down.

5) Who's your favorite, out of ours?

Sherlock and John.

( And now for Tom Felton's joke of the day... )

From the lovely canarycream

Give me a ship (romantic, friendship, siblings, et cetera) that we've done and I'll give you a song my character would dedicate to yours.,. or I'll just give you a song I think fits

Congratulations to Martin Freeman for his Best Supporting Actor win, and to Sherlock for winning best Dramatic series.

...And Benedict, you'll get it next time. I know you will.

And on a side note: Benedict Cumberbatch will be in the Hobbit. He didn't reveal who it was he was playing, but I'll put money on the fact that 1. This was all Martin Freeman's doing, and 2. It'll be Smaug.

And finally, the quotes that are currently making my LIFE:

"It’s the gayest story in the history of television… People certainly run with that which I’m quite happy with!" ~Martin Freeman (on Sherlock)

I’m so happy about that, I mean, it would be… it isa double act. He’s my wingman, he’s just phenomenal, and he’s a joy to work with. And he, in no small way, keeps me afloat and happy during the day, and he’s just a brilliant presence to be around, he’s just a scream. We adore each other. In a very platonic… non… yeah.” - Benedict Cumberbatch (on Martin Freeman)

( My Day: This Made it )

Interviewer: Would Draco Malfoy think he’s accurately portrayed, if he saw the film?

Tom Felton: Wow...I have no idea! Would he even go to the cinema?

Interviewer: Lucius would buy out the cinema for him.

Tom Felton: It’s true, he’d sit there by himself.

Interviewer: Cause he doesn’t have any friends?

Tom Felton: *Laughs* He would probably be quite skeptical. I don’t think he’d think much of this Tom Felton fellow.

Interviewer: Everybody loves Tom Felton!

Tom Felton: I don’t think Draco has any time for him, whatsoever.

Give me a character of yours and a character of mine, and I'll write a ficlet about one time/the first time they kiss (even if it's a hypothetical situation)
