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.)

uh, so I know you have icons already from that other set of pictures, but well, I only saw these ones 'cause you posted them, and icons are an awesome way to not-write things, so then this happened:

001 002 003 004
005 006 007 008

... and I have no slots for them. So I'll just leave them here? Yes, and thank you for providing me with the means to stall productively.

Feel free to ignore them if they are crap. It is late, and I can't tell. And if they turned out well, it's 'cause you really don't have to do much to make pretty stuff out of BCs face.

...i like #s 5 & 7.

OH MY GOD. YOU MADE ME ICONS. I. WHAT. YOU. *gathers them all to her bosom and loves them* (Seriously, thank you so so so much for these cause today was not okay but this made is much less not okay. Does that even make sense?)

ETA: For some reason LJ won't let me upload 5 & 7, something about the sizing. It keeps telling me I have to crop the icon to upload it. I... do not understand this language.

What form of fuckery is this? No seriously.

Okay, give me a couple minutes to see if I did something weird to them without meaning too, and I'll re-post them. And doesn't it just figure it'd be the two I think look actually pretty good. +grumble+

[ricochet]

Okay, fail. I don't know why it's doing that, and I can't get it to stop without changing the file type, and taking some of the gloss and colour out of the icons, and that's just not on. But! If you drag the selection box over the whole preview it gives you, it will let you keep the whole thing.

I am still trying to get them to just, upload like normal, but I'm really not sure why the damn things are misbehaving in the first place. I'll keep on it, and drop you a line if I come up with a fix.

Sorry, this probably makes them less effective at helping the day be less not-okay. (and yes, that made perfect sense.)

Darling, don't stress yourself out; it truly is the thought that counts and it was so awesome of you to think of me. So thank you! Thank you lots and lots. *hugs*

[ricochet]

I'm not stressing, per say.

I just want the thing to work like it's supposed to work, 'cause if it doesn't it will bug me.

Besides, if I'm working on icons I don't have to think about how bad, and badly behind, all the shit I'm writing is.

I'm very glad you like them though, and if they were any kind of bright spot in a not-good day, then that's awesome.

Okay, lets try this again. These have uploaded without issue to two other accounts. There's teeny tiny variations of colour due to me trying to keep them as nice looking as the originals.

001. 002.
003. 004.

I finally figured out what the problem was though, aside from the files being too big. The Harper's Bazar cover is just too much gorgeous for LJ to handle. Should have realised that sooner.

And now I'll stop spamming your journal. Though at least it's spam with a purpose? Yeah, I don't know either.

THANK YOU, BB!

You are very most welcome. ^____^
