Dear Readers,
I have had to labour very hard this week, trying to get a number of interesting tumblr links together. That is not due to a lack of noteworthy posts on tumblr (blasphemy to even think so…), but to my short absence over the weekend until Tuesday. The amount of stuff that slips through when you don’t keep close tabs on tumblr, is staggering… And often the Richard Armitage tag is no great help, either, because not everyone on tumblr tags diligently including the lazy writer of this post… Undoubtedly, my two fellow rounder-uppers – Agzy and Arkie they sound like twins, don’t they? – will have much more RA goodness in store for you. Don’t forget their Best-ofs on all things blogging at Iwanttobeapinup and fanfiction at TheArkenstone.
Nonetheless – here’s the best of week 6 from our sisters (and brothers) on tumblr. I hope you enjoy!!
- Sleepy-times in the Durin household
- Brilliant little comic by barracutie – even if you don’t ship Bagginshield
- Thirsty Armitage plus a gratuitous bonus at the end…
- Another brilliant use of graphics to characterise Thorin. Literally literally.
- A blast from the past in a new crop. This really hit me HARD!
- Circusgifs confesses in gifs. I think we’d all sign that confession with our heart’s blood…
- Let’s focus on the details here. WARNING: Will hit you right in the belly
button - Richard’s early stint on Spooks
- Concentrating on the essentials. Dof at its finest. An edit I really like.
- From Mezzmerizedbyrichard’s hand porn archive
- Evankart’s amazing Thorin pictures all in one post
- Can you imagine Gisborne using 21st century technology? To hilarious effect!
PS: A little question – are my link teasers too cryptic? Do you want me to be more detailed in the description so you know what you are clicking on? Let me know in the comments, please 🙂

Love it! It is so much fun to click on your links and the teasers are great. Your round up is a weekly treat 🙂

Yes, Evankart’s pictures are stunning. She really captures Richard’s face as Thorin.

I usually know what’s in the link just from reading the teaser. Um, maybe I shouldn’t publicly admit that. 😀

What a wonderful collection, as always! There’s something about tumblr where you only ever get to capture a moment. It just goes so fast and often once an image does the rounds it never really pops up again. Having said that, isn’t that one of the most alluring characteristics of tumblr?
Ps. I’m terribly jealous of all those talented artist who can draw and paint! The fanart is often of very high quality and it’s a pleasure to get to see it. It’s like stepping in to our own little art gallery 😉

Oh yers, the fast changing dash is very exciting. But it can be frustrating, too, when you are looking for a specific picture or gif or post. It’s impossible to find things again… or time-consuming…
I agree on the fanart – there are some *very* talented people out there. And it is nice of them to share their talents with us.

Forgot to comment on link descriptions- isn’t it part of the fun to try to imagine what the heck the link leads to?
LikeLike
That’s my way of thinking, Agzy – I like the tease and the suspense. But then I thought that maybe some people would rather like to know what they are going to see before they click the link… Ah sure, it’s just a click and a quick look. It’s different when it is about whole blogposts or fanfic where I might want to decide before hand whether it is worth my while to click… Thanks for feedback! x

A great round-up Guylty. Guy’s Texts From Last Night is one of my favorite Tumblrs, and I love those flat stomach close-ups. My preference, flat stomach, no crazy six pack action.

The belly – oh Cod, I nearly hyperventilated when I saw that post. And strangely, it wasn’t entirely sexy, there was something else in there… Yeah, I am not that big into six-packs myself. Hard muscles is very uncomfortable. 😉

The photo with the open white shirt, I think from the Cold Feet promo, gets me every single time.

I always hated that shoot (I just cannot overlook the crosslighting in them), but when focussing on the essentials *ahem*, it redeems itself… What I like about that crop is actually that it made me spot that little line across his stomach. Have you noticed it? It’s a sort of skin fold, I suppose, from sitting down… Nice to know that even *he* has that. Oh, and then I liked how the trousers were much too wide for him on his waist.
Whoa, zooming in on obsession here *blushes*

A lovely collection again, including a few I’ve not seen. I admit to staying out of the RA tag as of late, relying on my friends amazing reblogging skills for various reasons. That said, your tagging is perfect, and STILL wish to dip my tongue in that sacred crevice.
And somewhere I have a piece of artwork, depicting a knight who has a passing resemblance to my darling, with an Iphone and a dragon looking over his shoulder.
*whistles innocently*

Ooooh, I’d love to see *that* piece of artwork!!!
The RA tag is not something I visit on a regular basis. Although it has calmed down again, so it is safe! PS: Which sacred crevice is that?

I just posted it here on my blog. I’m thinking you’ve seen it – maybe not. I fell out of my chair laughing when I first saw it.
Sacred crevice???? He has many…..

Somehow your blog passed me by… How did that happen???

I just created it a few weeks back. I did it in a stealthy manner as I”m not really sure what I want or need to do with it yet. I’m not sure that the world needs yet another Richard Armitage shrine… and while I’d like to think I have deep thoughts, I don’t think the world is ready for a Deep Me.
Although if you scroll back a few entries, you will see the horrible deep freeze we here in the south had. They are predicting ice again for us mid-week.

Love the teasers as I like to guess at the post. Are you using the bookmark function in Xkit to go back to posts? The Tumblr community puts out so much volume one could do a roundup post of the best posts of the day! Cheers!
LikeLike
That’s a great tip, Sahra. I need to update Xkit to do that. Usually what I do is that I copy the links into the tumblr round-up as soon as I see them.
And yes, one could do a daily round-up *weeps* – too much!!!
