Today was the best day of my life. I can’t believe I was lucky enough to meet two of my favourite actors in the world, I can’t express how grateful I am. As I took the train to London this morning I was more nervous than I’d ever been, I thought that as soon as I saw Benedict I would surely faint or burst into tears… and I expected to be really intimidated by Martin Freeman because he’s such a big star now! But as soon as Martin came over and shook my hand I just felt happy, he was so lovely and his smile warmed the cockles of my heart. I must admit that when Benedict came over and stood next to me I felt very shaky and as though my heart was ready to burst out of my chest, but as soon as he asked my name and spoke to me it was simply wonderful. Martin was a real charmer and Benedict was so funny and unlike anyone I’ve ever seen before.
They were both so incredibly kind about my artwork, it was so bizarre having two such talented people say that something I do is “amazing”, when I look up to them so much. As they took the drawings out of the envelopes and gasped and praised me I felt like my heart was going to explode then and there. They said it was the best fan art they’ve ever received. It made me want to break down. To have Benedict Cumberbatch say I’m “talented” is something which I just can’t handle or comprehend. I just couldn’t get my head round it. I feel so overwhelmed right now, the whole experience was so very surreal. I feel so incredibly happy, it was so amazing. I feel kind of dumbstruck right now, I can’t believe it happened to me.This was the drawing I gave to Benedict as a gift, and this one for Martin. I’m keeping the signed one for myself, forever.
Also I thought I’d just point out the LENGTH OF BENEDICT’S FINGER I MEAN WHAT IS THAT
The first week of 2013 has been kinda lazy with mainstream news, and that’s when alternative stuff is needed. A couple of known Tumblr artists have important/interesting stuff to share, and I “discovered” (stumbled upon, more likely) a new one to fangirl over.
recipe for the perfect OTP
- one dark haired skinny guy capable of magic
- one light haired muscley guy skilled in hand to hand combat
- mix your ingredients in a bowl
- bake in oven for 5 to 10 minutes
If we take a loose definition of “magic” (on Asgard, magic and science are one and the same), we can add some other OTPs:
And even, come to think of it:
Slash fandom, race, sexuality, and other shit you don’t want to read
Per request by my pal Danni, who mentioned how little Tony/Rhodey is out there, I will talk longwindedly once again on the matter of race in fandom. Specifically, slash fandom, though I will expand beyond that to fandom and media at large at times.
So we begin with a basic question: Why is Tony/Rhodey so unpopular, with even Jarvis/Tony - an AI with no physical appearance - outstripping it in levels of fan attention?
The adventures of Pocket-Benedict: lycra edition
This really needs no introduction, does it?
All prepped up for the ride in his fetching cycling gear!
Lycra…
Oh, and he goes barefoot because that’s how he likes it (not because I was too lazy to make him some shoes).
Before the ride, a little warm up …
… and he’s ready to go!
13h36min later he finished the ride! (Don’t judge. He has small legs.)
Ah, looking proud with his medal! Well done P-Ben!
Time to rest and snuggle in bed now ;)
My incredible day at Cheltenham!
Waffle-Batching with the Waffle-Batch.
Now i’ve kind of recovered from last night i can finally write a blog post about it!
I’m runnning on 3 hours sleep and it might be long and waffley and have grammatical errors but i really want to write all what happened for my own benefit if anything while it’s fresh, so if you’re just here for the Benedict bits, i’ll make them bold! Hopefully you can read this all okay on my terrible blog layout. Try the zoom button on your Macs if you have trouble!

Later than promised, but here is the story of how I met Tom Hiddleston.
The date was August 7th 2012 in Cologne.
