Due to unforeseen circumstances the Weekly Round-up is more than a day late this week. Ooops. I’ll get into that in a separate post because I have some pics I want to share with you, but suffice to say the Round-up had to be pushed back. However, I continued to collect links as I went along the week, working from London, so nothing was lost…
Anyway, not unexpectedly, this week’s Round-up is dominated by all things SDCC and Hannibal. With Armitage’s appearance at Comic Con, tumblr was buried under an avalanche of original pictures and fan art, caps and gifs from San Diego. Good times! Those of you who are following my tumblr may have already seen a lot of the links that I am posting today because instead of my usual practice of saving links in a WP post, I simply “recorded” the note-worthy stuff by reblogging them on my own tumblr. And boy oh boy, the booty this week is bigger than *ever*. This could be an overload. Let me warn you – you need a good bit of time to get through this. This is the longest Round-up I have ever compiled. And sorry, no, I could not whittle it down to less. It *all* has to be shown… You’ve been warned…
So, sit back and enjoy Armitage, Dolarhyde and the Red Dragon…
- Let’s start off with something really original: Here’s a Bagginshield Modern!AU that I found really interesting, drawn by radiorcrist. Funny!
- Our very own “Tree” or myrichardtreehouse continued and finished her 14 days of Armitage fore-arm goodness. This is day 12
- A concentrated study of Dolarhyde’s/Red Dragon’s face from maivolchica
- Tosquinha is really taking fan art/gifs to another level with this more-than-cute animated drawing. I am fully behind this headcanon
- Another one by tosquinha – do you know what ‘boopies’ are?
- Jassy2101 has posted Suzanne Phillips’ pics of RA at the book signing – I am beginning to like aviator sunglasses…
- Whoa, that is one intense look on Dolly’s face… captured by missnu93
- More of the beautiful eyes? Yes, I agree with richardarmitage-confidential
- Cuuuuuuuuuute. Heyerette has captured two “Traumprinzen” (dream princes) at an intimate moment
- Riepu10 capped an animated Richard in the TVLine interview. Pic 1 and 5 *sigh* and *awwww*
- Is Richard a “really sweet guy”? He seems to think so. A gif set by applefia2036
- Fan art comic from rutobuka2 – awwwwwwwwwww
- Is Fuller a true visionary? Well, gimmethehobbit makes a valid case in this comic. And the Army fully approves…
- OMG – why had no one thought of this before. Kili and Fili texting – this is hilarious. An idea by summerdecadence
- Filisleftmoustache knows what the Durin boys *really* thought… LOL
- A nice edit of Thorin and Proctor by mariondworld
- Maivolchica has given these pics from the Pannibal a nicer background
- Richardbirdwitharmsitage is back!!! This kind of stuff never fails to make me laugh. Especially the flower crown
- Ligeiaresurrected makes a convincing case why Richard Armitage is perfect for the role of the Red Dragon
- Bodymore-murderland is wondering about Dolarhyde’s backstory – this is a nice starting point for discussion, I think
- Jassy2101 asks “Why is he so handsome?” Guylty asks: Have you noticed *that ONE hair* that is *still* always out of line???
- Iamnotswarley has figured out the difference between Hugh Dancy and Richard Armitage
- When I saw applefia2036’s gif of the “Armitage pronunciation quip” from the CraveOnline interview, my first thought was that Armitage seemed to be experimenting with his sideburns. The return of killer Guy sideburns??? Guylty approves and can hardly contain her excitement
- Short list from jkrfan7 of all the projects RA has lined up – prolific man!!!
- I love these edits by richardcfarmitage – particularly the first one. Man, that HITS. RIGHT. IN. THE. FEELS and almost looks like a pro photo shoot
- Jollytr compares how Richard says ‘hi’
- Airportgate from jassy2101’s POV. I think she is spot-on
- Jollytr’s dash did a thing that resonates with everyone in the Army, I think. Man, when the man smiles like that, I am utterly helpless…
- Idontfindyouthatinteresting posted a cap of Dolarhyde at work. Unfortunately *my* attention was focussed on the raspberry. Yep, sorry, I am shallow that way
- When you look at crystalchandlyre’s pic set, it is evident that those two were meant to play together one day…
- I can’t get enough of sinnaminie’s plushies. This RL RA plushie is just the cutest thing ever – and more than up-to-date with the very special flower crown
- Theagentofhydra has another photo of RA at the book signing – with a very special Red Dragon
- Whoa, great fan art by hydrophobic-pirate of RA in Fuller’s Star Wars jacket
- Great comparison of a pivotal Dolarhyde/Reba scene by existingcharactersdiehorribly – Armitage/Fiennes/Noonan
- Does Richard have *any* clue at all??? LOL – fringeofmadness has got the gifs that show the cluelessness
- Larygo posted some back love in glorious mega size. Guylty is momentarily speechless and only says “F**********ck” 😀
- Christ on a bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Slo-mo disrobing by circusgifs. Dearest Fanny – my insurance will be in touch with yours as soon as the pacemaker has been fitted to my heart…
- Antatius made this beautiful fan art and dressed Pop!Thorin accordingly
- LOL – I had not seen this image, tweeted by @delaurentiis – Derpitage? But REAL!!!
- Am I the only one who agrees with the ArmPitage Army???
- I think this is required, obligatory viewing for anyone – put reddolarhyde’s gif set on continuous loop
- The first of existingcharactersdiehorribly’s gifs probably ought to put me off and creep me out. It doesn’t because I know the backstory of Dolarhyde – and I am transfixed by the eyes. That is so utterly Dolarhyde and NOT Richard. Amazing how he establishes the character with nothing but a creepy stare. Masterful!
- ROFL – jassy2101 has captured RA with a look that reminds me of a creepy, bad year book photo. Yep, bad. But it made me giggle out loud
- *gulp* radiorcrist puts tight briefs on Thorin. I think this is my new headcanon. Or my new sexual orientation?
- Jollytr has put Heather Siemon’s tweets of her FANTASTIC photos of RA at the Pannibal into a set
- look-back-look-back-at-me is very observant. One does not simply overlook such parallels…
- Clematis70 sees a connection between Dolarhyde practicing pull-ups and an earlier tweet by Armitage. What do you think?
- And a concentrated look at Armitage’s hand and body work by clematis70 again
- I totally agree with nienna15’s comment
- And this is the perfect ending to this week’s round-up overload – I couldn’t agree more with mellarkian. I’m off to confession now
Still alive? Yep, you had been warned. Fabulous, fabulous stuff. And maybe this is a sign of things to come. Because from next week we will get the Red Dragon episodes… Get ready for the onslaught, ladies. Buy yourselves a comfy chair, industry-size supply of tissues (probably more for the purpose of wiping up the drool than the tears) and prepare to be awed. We owe him awe, after all 🙂
Guylty ❤

Fili, 15 ist Klasse, bei 6 kann man mal wieder die normale Haarfarbe sehen, steht ihm und gefällt mir 🙂
Der 2. Blick bei 25 gefällt mir, ist so entrückt, so weit weg in Gedanken ❤

Ich hab vorhin irgendwo eine ausführliche Zusammenfassung der letzten Folge gelesen, und mir kam schon ohne die Bilder fast das Abendessen wieder hoch. Oh man! Das wird eine Härteprüfung, ganz ohne Frage. Ich bin froh, dass Hannibal hinter Gittern sitzt und Mason Verger unschädlich gemacht wurde. Aber der Ausblick auf den ersten Dolarhyde-Mord hat mir schon den Rest gegeben. Die schön symmetrisch angebrachten Blut-Spritz-Spuren allerdings lassen darauf hoffen, dass es mit überästhetisierter Abstraktion ans Werk geht. Das heißt, man schaltet die Empathie aus und guckt nur auf den oberflächlichen Eindruck. Or so I tell myself… Wir werden sehen.

Ich habe die letzte Folge (nicht vom letzten Donnerstag, die davor) gesehen und die letzten 10 Minuten waren echt!! eklig. Nr. 7 wartet schon auf mich 😦
Da ich das Buch gelesen habe, kann ich mir ungefähr vorstellen was kommt und da ‘Hannibal’ ja gerne in Blut schwimmt, äh schwelgt, war der trailer noch recht harmlos befürchte ich….
Soll ich Dich erinnern was Dolly mit seinen Opfern alles anstellt? Oder besser lieber nicht?
LikeLike
Nö, lass mal, ich hab das noch recht lebhaft vor Augen. Aber ich mache da – natürlich mit ganz klaren Hintergedanken – Unterschiede zwischen dem Ekelkram um Hannibal und der bisher noch nicht gesehenen Mordserie von Dolarhyde. Liegt sicher auch daran, dass das im Buch nicht soooo intensiv besprochen wurde. Kann natürlich sein, dass Fuller da im Dolarhyde-Blutrausch schwelgen wird und mich damit komplett überrumpelt. Mal sehen, wie weit die Selbstüberzeugungskräfte bei mir dann reichen werden…

50 ist ENTSCHIEDEN zu viel. Jedefalls hast du uns wieder ein fettes Paket aufgegeben. Mach bloß weiter so! Quäl mich bitte, bitte quäl mich…..
Ne, aber ehrlich, mich überkommt immer so eine (selbstfabrizierte) Hetze beim Durchstöbern. Außerdem würde ich gerne gleich und sofort auf meine Eindrücke reagieren, müßte dazu aber parallel mitschreiben und ganz ehrlich, wer will das schon = Hektikgefühl bleibt.
Mal sehen, was ich mir da so nebenbei aufs Notizzettelchen gekritzelt habe:
23) Es sieht wirlklich so aus, als ob er an den Killersideburns arbeitet. Ganz schwerer Fall von Schmacht. Irgendwie fehlt mir der Guy auch ein wenig. Da hilft auch kein Odögiiii 😀
40) Verstehe ich das richtig, dass hier das haarige Element fehlt? Jaaaaa, damit habens die Amis ja massiv. Mir ist das mal aufgefallen in den Film Hugo Cabret. In den nachgestellten historischen Filmsequenzen dort sind haufenweise irgendwelche Jungfrauen zu sehen. Und die haben ALLE ausnahmslos rasierte Achselhöhlen. Wers glaubt wird selig! Da geht die BBC schon offensiver mit der Männlichkeit ihrer Helden um (Porter).
45) und die Bilder von Heather Siemons gefallen mir wirklich fast alle ausnahmslos gut. Ich weiß ja nicht, wieviel Schwund sie hat, aber die Ausbeute ist regelmäßig stark hitverdächtig.
