When you are A Responsible Adult 99% of the time, there’s a wild mad joy in being very irresponsible.*

*comparatively

If I post some thoughts about the new movie under a cut tag, will that be enough so that those who wish to avoid spoilers can do so?

Since I don’t usually post spoilers I thought I’d ask before I post any in case anyone reading is still trying to avoid them. Anyway-please let me know?

I am like you, don’t read many interviews at all because they are usually full of nothing at all. But this was was so rich with little details about his home life! Scrumptious! Isn’t it strange to have someone we’ve admired for 2 yrs become famous?

Now the thing about that is, I can’t buy the idea that BC just became famous! He’s been on the front of the Radio Times more than once, which is the gold standard over here. I’m guessing you mean that he just got famous in North America :)

Aspects of BC do surprise me, probably because the things people love most about him seem to be the ones which I consider ordinary - substantial acting talent aside, he’s a well-brought-up, self-deprecating British public schoolboy, which would describe 50% of my serious boyfriends. So not much of a novelty to me. But of course most of BC fandom is not British. (Guys, you probably can’t all date BC, but we do have others like that if you want to come over.)

Poking my nose in to say it’s not precisely that he’s a well-brought-up, sweet, charming etc, but the fact that he’s managed to hang on to that while getting famous—that’s what I admire.

Me: I’m making shit up.

Spouse: It’s plausible shit.

A year ago today I posted my very first post in this my very first tumblr blog-thing. I don’t think I’ve gotten any better at navigating tumblr in a year, but what I have done—

• put up 907 (908 if you count this one) posts
• liked 1,043 posts
• read a truly insane amount of fanfic
• started a pen-specific tumblr blog-thing
• had some lovely conversations
• made some friends
• even met some of them in person! (gasp)

So to anyone following along—thanks! It’s been pretty fun. To the friends I have made—I’m so glad I joined tumblr, because even if I never saw another photo of anyone from Sherlock I’d still have new awesome people in my life.  You are worth more to me than even the very best fanfic rec. ;-)

In the interest of not getting spoiled for the new Star Trek movie (and also in the interest of actually getting work done…) I won’t be on tumblr much til after I see the movie. If you want to get ahold of me, drop me a note via the ask box.
