Sunday worship at The Most Holy Temple of the Cumberbatch

[hackthis_archive]

First of all, there's a new community: ariadne_yusuf! Now all I need is a Yusuf-centric community and I'll be in the money.

Second of all, some of this The Social Network fic is bang on the money. I mean hot damn. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up, fine holiday fun.

Third, Happy Belated Guy Fawkes. If you are reading this I assume you failed in blowing up Parliament (and or yourself with fireworks) and are not currently in jail. Well played! \o/

And lastly, it is Sunday and all must come to sacrifice virgins and goats at the Altar of The Cumberbatch. I'm totally talking out my backside -- in our church we serve lager, vodka and Hula Hoops as offerings and withhold audiobooks if you have sinned against His Holiness.

Mostly I put this picspam together for maurheti and it seemed a shame to just delete it when I thought somebody else out there might like it, too.

Okay, this photo has to go first, because I have to get this horror out of the way. These thing on his feet. I don't even -- I almost stroked out. Silver. Silver snakeskin like he's a gambler in Blackpool with cataracts. These shoes are proof that even god fucks it up sometimes. I just. Just say no.

Hot man. Rubik's Cube. In a field. No, no bad here.

I mean what. Just. The eyes and the face. And also? The hair. I mean, what? This is the sort of man that turns a woman into a hair-puller.

I would call this the walk of shame, but he doesn't seem to have much shame going on. I do like that in a man.

STUBBLE. STUBBLE. STUBBLE. STUBBLE. And also. STUBBLE.

I haven't the foggiest what's happening, but he has ginger hair so that's all I care about. I am absolutely mad about redheads.

Jamie Bamber and Benedict and Ray Winstone's daughter. And Stubble. Can't forget the stubble. People who watch L&O:UK: what's the liklihood of a threesome between Jamie's character, Freema's character and Ben Daniels? Did somebody write that already?

Okay. See. This. I waffle on this. On one hand we are not sitting under the coconut tree in Havana. The colors suit each other, but it's a stretch. On the other hand... it could be much much worse. The jacket's incredibly well tailored. But the hat. It's crooked. If you're doing it, do it properly!

No, there is nothing wrong with this. This is all good. Although, photographer's stylists, can we get suits in something else besides black? Gray, brown, some pinstripes? How about a nice glenplaid? Do an old school homage?

Yes. This is a larger photo of the one above. But well, who complains about larger? Also, it really brings out the point that he is not classically handsome. His face is rather strangely arranged, but the man is sexy as hell.

Look at Martin's stupid little face! I love his face! (And his hair, god I love his hair) . And in conclusion...

And also, a few words from His Most Brilliantness (Yes, I know that's not a word. Stop being pedantic.)

The silver shoes I didn't even know what to do with and the hat. God he could've done something awesome with the hat like this. This hat would have made me weep with the awesome. You see the upturn in the back and how it angles downward. If he'd cocked that over one eye every person on the gauntlet would've swooned.

This photo was supposed to be included in the montage but it refused to appear in the post and was giving me fits. So, I will post it here along with the commentary I had for it.

a) The hair is too dark. It's washing him out.
b) The hair is in his face. Stop hiding the best part.
c) Patent leather NO! NO! NO! NO!
d) However, the pink socks are a fabulous fun details and I love them.

I do love the socks, but pretty much everything else has to go for me. I'm not sure what it is that I don't like about the suit, but it's just not working for me either.

And just for kicks I'll weigh in on the hair colour - I do like the darker hair better than his natural hair colour, but I've also got a ridiculous thing for the dark hair/pale skin combo, so I'm probably not an unbiased source in this case ;)

I agree. I don't like the suit either there's something off about the material and the cut. I -- the jacket seems incredibly small for some reason, and not just because of the angle with his hands in his pockets. But the socks are fabulous. And at least the leg is straight and not this tapered ankle thing that literally had me in fits this morning.

Re: the hair. LOL. I've been saying just the opposite in other comments :)

Hee. Another friend prefers the red, too - says it makes him look more human. The dark makes him look too ethereal for her and, of course, that's what totally DOES it for me. *snicker*

I'm siding with your mate on this one. :)
